THE MERCHANT OF VENICE UP-To-DATE.
crowded house greeted "The Merchant OF
Venice Up-to-Date" in the Opera House
Wednesday evening, February Srd, and every
member of the cast acquitted themselves with
credit to their coach, their class ana themselves.
The stage settings were attractive-Portlas
home scene especially so, and tne costumes
were most becoming to their wearers Inc
make-ups also were fine; that Of the character
parts being almost faultless. AS predicted
last week the local hits introduced were much
enjoyed Although the dramatic honors were SO
evenly divided that it is impossible to make
any discrimination, the work of Hugh Wight IN
the difficult role Of Shylock was matter OF
general comment The other character parts
notably Raphael Leavitt as Launceiot Honpo'
Miss Bertha Written as Miss Abbie Threedlce,
Misses Murch and Robbins, in their parts, and
Sylvanus Edgecomb as Prof. Ex-fay' were
much enjoyed. Bassanio, as interpreted by
Houston Small, was one of the hits OF the
evening. Antonio and Gratiano were most
convincing in their portrayal OF tner roies
Portia and Nerissa-Misses Doak and Little
field-carried out their parts to PERFECTION,
and looked charming, as did Jessica, played
bv Florence Libbey. The Duke, Tubal, Polly
and the policeman were also excellent anu the
foot ball scene brought down the mouse. Llttie-
fields orchestra with Miss Julia as mascot
furnished music between the acts, and tor the
LARGELY attended dance that followed the play.
The class cleared about $780, There was some
thought of taking the production to BROOKS
but as satisfactory arrangements could not be
made that project was given up.
