ADJUSTMENTS
Macbeth" Draws Capacity House

Robert B. Mantell as Macbeth ana
Miss Genevieve Hamper as Lady Mac
beth, supported by company of COM
petent players, appeared last night at
the Jefferson before an eager audience
that filled the house from bottom to
top. Regular theatregoers, old and
young, were in abundant evidence, but
the outpouring of youth of school age
was especially remarked.
The performance was one of the great
est of the week, notable for its wealth
of Shakespearean attractions. In some
of the tragedies, interest centers
around one particular character. In
others there are two star parts, and
the play OF Macbeth is of these.
While the role of Lady Macbeth calls
for an actress of transcendent ability.
the demands upon the little role are
equally exacting. Few plays suit Mr..
Mantell better and in none, perhaps,
does he reveal tragic emotion with such
convincing skill If in reading Macbeth
one is impressed with the natural I'M
folding of ideas bearing upon the
power of suggestion, and of the pen
atty of overlapping ambition and blood
outlines, how much more vital these
preted by a master character delinea-
ton like Mr.. Mantell.
In every scene he was great. His
voice as ever was deep and sonarous,
and fitting to the motive OF the action
was touched with despair.
Miss Hamper being a young. woman,
added distinct freshness to the part
of Lady Macbeth. Older tragediennes
would have invested it with a feeling
more masculine. Her Interpretation
approved itself to ddramatic instinct
and correct Judgment Tn her first
scene, when she reads the letter and
displays her rapid mental processes.
she was stamped as consummate ac-
in the scene with Macbeth. terminatin

| guilty consciences to the end.

hands. In this affectine Scare she re-
