Walter Hampden appeared in spe-
cial matinee Of Hamlet" at the plym-
outh Theatre yesterday and strength
ened the excellent impression which
he made in the role couple of sea-
sons ago. The performances are again.
Under the auspices Of the Shakespeare
Playhouse, directed by Frank Nc
Entee. Hampden is fine figure of
Hamlet and reads with intelligence and
spirit. His is the. best performance of
the role which New York has seen
SINCE Forbes Robertson.
=, Mr.. Hampden is not unmindful of
the fact that Hamlet, among his other
accomplishments, was humorist. If
not fellow of infinite jest, he was at
least pretty wit Among the most
successful portions of yesterdays per.
1ormance were the verbal duels be-
tween Hamlet and Polonius. The give
and-take was at least as rapid as the
rapler play later on and much moro
successful for Hamlet. Albert Brun-
ing was an excellent Polonius, even if
his accent did suggest Schleswigs II oj.

able and finished performance n

Opera
"Marouf," Presented at Met

Cannot Fail of Appreciation

The story of Marouf, the cobbler Of
Cairo, with which Scheherazade be-
guiled her lord and king from the nine
hundred and ninety-cighth night to the
end of the thousand and first night,
was told in music, dance, pantomime
and picture at the Metropolitan Opera
House last night. Scheherazade lex
tolled be the excellence of her whom
the vicissitudes of time can neither de.
stroy nor marD was not present in the
body, but surely her spirit and that of
Haroun- -Raschid and the genii and
atrltes of lamp and ring and bottle per-
meate the book and score of this fasci-
mating opera. And her beauty shone
like the mood in the loneliness of Aida
and CALI
The music of the Orient saturated
the scenes, burdened the air, filtered
through the crevices of nature, foated
down from the minarets, throbbed in
the pulsng drums, walled in the voices
OF the accomplishing flutes and the
cantlcles of the singers from the
mosques, with their strange and haunt
ing intervals and cadences.
The glory of song seems to be de-
parting from our gorgeous lyric tenn
pie, but in it's place there is another
glory-the glory of apparel, of adorn-
ments adjoining the bodies of singing
men and women, and a chief glory Of
dancing women. Of costly stuffs are
their garments, from the looms of
Hind and Sinde and the uttermost parts
of Arabia. costing many thousand
pieces of gold. 0 delight of the eyel

And the music! 0 rapture of the ear
and the fancy-this outgush of the
genius of Rabaud!
"Marouf" is a marvellous opera, en-
chanting, work of bewildering skill
and fecund fancy. 1t cannot fail Of
appreciation and understanding, if ap-
probation and understanding still sur
vive among the opera lovers Of New
York. The performance was admirable
