roles that he has ever been called upon
10 portray in Richmond. 1t is not

him TO remain on the stage through

II also requires him to traverse wide

the deepest emotion TO the lightest
comedy. That he succeeds in con-
vcyinS so much both OF the strength
and the humor of the part, with the
necessarily limited preparation and re-

another proof of his possession OF the
actors instinct-an item Of his equip
