AT THE BURTIS,

Not to have seen Forbes Robertson
in his dignified, classical Hamlet is to
have missed the best that the theatre
has offered in many years. His ap-
pearance at the Burtis theatre in Day.
export last evening drew an audience
that filled the large auditorium from
orchestra rail to pit and the big crowd
attracted by the great English actor
seemed vindication Of the good judg-
ment Of the tri-city public in it's de-
sire for something serious and far
above the commonplace. This Is
Forbes Robertson farewell Ameri-
can tour, for he has definitely decided
to leave the stage after more than 40
years Of constant work. He is man
well up in the COS, though his figure
is slim and erect as ever, his voice
still rich and able to touch those
chords that have been reached by few
actors in recent years. In Miss Laura
Cowie, his leading lady, who took the
part Of Ophelia, was shown expert
technique. She has youth, great beau
ty Of face and figure, individuality, and
a voice Of peculiar resonance and pow
er that at once stamps her as an artist

actor. Ian Robertson as Poplonius.
the lord chamberlain. was splendidly
suited to the role, and, in fact, the en-
tire company was one Of the best that
has visited this community for many
a day. Hamlet as played by Forbes
Robertson has the stage settings OF
acted with faithful adherence to the
original drama-rich curtains and a
few simple articles OF furniture con-
shutting the stage setting. The CO.'S

and wants to marry her himself, &C
