much Ado About Nothing at
the Manhattan.

4 So,hern- Marlowe season Of five weeks
opened last night at the Manhattan Opera
House. the play presented being Much
Ado About Nothing" The very large au-
dience gathered testified eloquently TO the
popularity Of the serious high class
drama In this city as well as to the favor
in which the Sothern-Mariowe productions
of Shakespearian comedy and tragedy
stand.
Mr.. Sothern was reported yesterday as
suffering from a bronchial attack. but HIS
acting last night showed no trace of strain
or illness. His enunciation was as clear
and emphatic as ever, and he played the
somewhat whimsical part Of Benedick
with all his customary enjoyment and
fire.
on Miss MarloWe's Beatrice no new
praise need be bestowed. She is charm
ing in all her situations, and her rich,
pure voice is a constant delight TO the ear
accustomed 20 the drier tones and sharp
or speech of most stage heroines.

petent, especial praise being due 10 Mr.
Lewis. Mr. Mather. Mr. Crswley and
Mr. Taylor. George Wilson as Dogberry

every player has both asked a question
and received an answer. The last
player then asks a question of the
first, who replies with the answer CIV
en- him to the question. which he. in
the first instance. asked the second
player.
Another. and in most peoples opin-
