Scenic Setting

King Lear" tragedy of all
tragedies by Shakespeare, was pre-
scented last night in "Thc Playhouse"

company, in a performance that was
surpassed by none of his previous
characterizations Of the week Mr..
Mantell last night lost himself and
was king Lear" simply as pictured
by Shakespeare. Not for a single
instant was there anything mechani-
cal in his acting. The remarkable
control of voice, the changes in his
moods and his expressions gained
a grip on his audience that was re-
tanned by the tragedian long after the
theatre was emptied of its appreci-
ative audience. Too much credit can
not be given to the excellent COM
pany that supported MIR. Mantell.
Each role was interpreted TO per-
fection and made the production one
of the finest in The Playhouse this
year.
Mr.. Mantelrs performance OF
Macbeth" In which he will be seen
tonight for the first time in Will
mington. is considered the best that
has been seen on the American stage
since the days of Edwin Booth, no
less an authority than William Winter
being responsible for this esti-
mate Mr. Mantell has chosen to
play the Thane as the elemental bar
barian Shakespeare undoubtedly in-
tended him to be, since the barbar-
Gus appealed particularly 10 Eliza
bethan audiences. Mr.. Mantell car.
ries with him a complete scenic
equipment Of lavish and beautiful
nature.
The scene on the heath during the
witch's incantations. with their weird
electrical effects, has been especi-
ally admired Mr.. Mantell will close
