Hamlet" as played by Robert Man.
tell last night, served a purpose be-
yond that Of adding to the already
heaping pile Of laurels OF Mantell him
self. 1t served to afford Genevieve
Hamper (Mrs. Mantell) an opportunity
to display latent acting power not
hitherto displayed in the various roles
she has enacted. and furthermore. to-
give Frank Peters role for which he
was admirably adapted
In Hamlet Mr.. Mantell discards
the makeup that has been part and
parcel OF his other character portray
ais. But the charm and power Of his
elocution is no less potent. In his
scenes OF seeming madness, particu-
larIy, he sounds the depths of his dra-
matte power and makes Shakespeare
Dane a cameo.
1t was in the role OF ophelia that
Genevieve Hamper scored the triumph
Of her gamut of Characterization. Her
natural beauty lent sweetness and
charm to this heroine that found its
best expression when coupled to an
effective bit of acting in the mad
scene. Her meeting with Laertes, her
brother. after she has lost her mind
and the hopeless attempt to gather
her scattered wits, her half recogni-
tion of him and her wordless anguish
when she fails leaped over the foot

audience and spurred it to burst of
applause that no work before at
tempted by this actress has been able
to do.
Frank Peters played with under
standing and deep sympathy the part
OF Polonius. His work in other char
acters, particularly as Joseph IN
"Richelieu." gave promise of the lat
ent ability which last night found its
full expression. The admonition to
Laertes was fine.
The other members of the cast
rounded out the whole admirably,
lending power to Mr.. Mantelrs rendi-
tion OF the name role that will rank
with the pest thiH4s He has uone.
The staging was marked by the
sumptuousness that has characterised
his previous productions.
At the matinee King john was
played for the second time during his
present engagement.
Tonight King Lear" said to be Mr..
