BELASCO.

In his effort to produce a varied pro-
gram OF the more pretentious classics
Robert Mantell has done well TO in
clude Hamlet" which he presented at
the Belasco last night. This. probably
the greatest of plays. is at the same
time the subject of the widest contro-
versy as to Interpretation and produc-
ton. Every actor of note who has at
tempted a Shakespearean repertoire has
at one time or another produced his
own idea of Hamlet" Sometimes. as
in the case of Mr.. Mantell's version. the
idea has been something of a COM
posite of all of the varied scraps OF
character building that have been put
together since the first Hamlet trod
the boards. And. sometimes, as In the
case of Sothern and Forbes-Robertson
versions that were distinct and indi-
vidual to the actor presenting them
have been seen. The education OF no
person IS really complete IN this won
derful play until he has seen. or at
least been given an understanding Of.
what all these Hamlets pretended to
be-
Therefore. Mr. Mantell's presentation
last evening was a contribution TO
dramatic art and history that was as
interesting because of the long and
varied associations of the character as
because of the very elaborate way in
which 1t was presented, and deserved
much larger evidence of appreciation
from the students of the drama in
washington than the size of the au-
dience which saw 1t gave-despite the
fact that the audience was unusually
good as audiences have run this sea-
he Hamlet
bust. Evolutionary Prince OF Denmark
which, while having many or the attri-
butes that have entered into what we
might call the conventonalized char-
acter generations OF actors nave pro-
duced. at the same time contained that
mark of individuality which showed
that at times Mr. Mantell dared depart
from the sacred acting versions which
his forerunners held to so religiously;
His scenes with Polonius. with the
players, with the queen and in the
duel with Laertes were the best or the
play. as we viewed It. In these In
stances he gave a more delicate read
ing to the lines and a more artistic
touch to their Interpretation. The big
scene with the king and the players
and the reading of the soliloquy. were
too declamatory and bit theatrically
forced. as compared to the Forbes
Robertson and Sothern interpretations.
Through II all Mr.. Mantell gave a
studious conception OF the character
however.
In the supporting cast the Polonius
of Frank Peters was easily the most
satisfying. Mr.. Peters had evidently
given the part much study and his
reading Of the tongue tripping lines
was clear and distinct while his in
teIligent shading gave no chance for
mistak,ng their full meaning. Miss
Hampers Ophelia was at times given
an intensely human quality that was
most appealing. The work Of Edward
Levers. as the gravedigger, stood out
clearly. though II was a bit heavy.
