MANTELL, As MOOR,
/ AGAIN PLEASEs
Actors Appearance in ''Romeo
and Juliet Also Wins Praise
of Newark Audience.
BY ADEL.INE STANLEY cARRIcK.

1t was MI. Mantell's pleasure l?) to
be called before the curtain at least
six times after the final act of Othello
in the Newark Theatre last night, TO
say nothing OF the innumerable calls
between acts. That his hold upon local
audiences Is based on a strong, sincere
affection is not to be doubted.
AS the fiery. Jealous Moor, Mr.. Man
tell scored once more, though naturally
the character being SO much more
limited-he did not make the splendid
impression 1t is in his power to give
as Macbeth, Richelieu or Lear. His
good physique and dignihed bearing
made an Othello worth respect, and,
as always, 1t was absolute pleasure
just to listen to his perfect speech.
But one felt that Mr.. Mantell was not
giving himself completely to the role.
The ~indef1nable something that marks
the difference between living and act
ing a role was there. Miss Russell
made a beautiful, effective Desdemona,
and Fritz Leiber, as Iago, succeeded
in arousing to the utmost the dislike
of those who watched him-and what
more, could stage villain desire?
The staging of Romeo and Juliet
at the afternoons performance was ex-
cellent. Particular are had been given
to the arrangement of the balcony
scene, Z with admirable results. Mr..
Mantells Romeo suggested substantial
middle age rather than airy youth,
though a better delivery of his beauti-
full lines could not have been requested.
Miss Russell was a beautiful, charming
Juliet. displaying a versatility OF mood
that was highly gratifying. From the
balcony scene she emerged triumphant,
having lone full justice to the ex-
quisite phrasing of Juliet's expression
of her love for Romeo. Her voice
seemed to cast off that precision that
marks the trained elocutionist, and that
has slightly marred her performance
in other roles, and to gain a girlish'
sweetness that mean much toward her
success.
In his and other love scenes Mr..
Mantelrs sonorous voice made listening
to his ines a pleasure, but. alas! there
was something almost comic in his
efforts to assume an airy manner and a
lightness OF foot. Neither could he
bring to his face the joyous expression
Of youth in love. Always behind his
smiles one could. see the experience OF
the man who has lived and thought.
After the death Of Tibalt. when Romeo
becomes invested with the dignity OF
grief and has felt the toperine infiu-
The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-09-23

ence of remorse following unbridled
passion. he seemed not so much out
side of the character, and by the time
ne reached the death scene one felt he
was thoroughly adequate. Fritz Leiber
gave one of the best performances of
the afternoon in the role of Mercutio,
making that jolly, irresponsible charac-
ter wholly human, speaking his lines
so naturally that at times one forgot
that he was reading" Shakespeare.
Miss Genevieve Reynolds gave humor
and character to the role of the nurse.
Tonight Mr.. Mantell will present
"Richelieu," and tomorrow night New
arkers Will have an opportunity to
see him as King Lear.
