ARTICLE XxvIII.-By j. H. Binn.
London. Eng. March 81.

London, Eng. March u.
During our two weeks stay here
we have let few days go by without
going to some good play or opera
and we have hardly begun on the
good things we want to see. One
great treat was Maurice Moscovitch,
Russian Jew from the East Side OF
New York, whose work as ShylOck in
The Merchant of Venice" has been
the sensation of the season here. The
production has just closed after more
than two hundred performances
Moscovitch has brought to the Eng
lish theater a new conception Of the
part. He plays Shylock in broken
english. But he has much more
than this to recommend him. He
Keeps before the audience the idea
that ShylOck Is Jew, and for this
very reason makes him a more con-
vincing and tragic figure than any
other actor of modern times.
Perhaps the finest thing we have
seen and heard is the opera company
At the Covent Garden theater. The
name calls up a host of memories.
out the building is modern. Though
smaller than the Metropolitan Opera
house In New York. it Is an immense
pul'ding, containing, one might say.
nve stories filled with seats, with a
capacity Of two thousand people. The
rorcnestra is conducted by Sir Thomas
oeecham. whose father, the late Sir
Joseph. made fortune in patent
pills. Nevertheless. he is a GOOD
leader. Fortunately the prejudice
against German music. which never
really existed among lovers of music,
mas aoated sufficiently to allow Wag-
nerian operas to be produced in Eng
hsn' The effect was much better than
we expected. The company is a
clever one, and makes the words un-
derstandable.
Later in the season. when Italian
opera is presented. the boxes are
ni'ed with the brilliantly dressed
'eaders of London society. We, like
most OF the new poor. did not take
oox' or even stalls. In fact. we
weren't even in the dress circle. Nor
we're we in the amphitheatre. To be
oi'er' We were among the real lovers

contributions. They sing, play hand
organs. violins, accordions, every
imaginable instrument. as q rule very
badly. The sums they receive are
small, but beggars are numerous in
old countries, and often have to be
satisfied with very little. We did not
see one man who was really clever
He would take folded newspaper
from his pocket. tear at it for min
ute. shake it out. and show us an
elaborate piece of lace. a picture
frame. or six grinning skeletons hang
ing on a clothes line. He was much
more interesting than the average
vaudeville artist. Probably drink or
laziness prevents him from holding
down good position in one of the
music halls.
A play is never quite so interesting
and effective as in its own setting.
We have ben very fortunate in seeing
G. B. Shaw's "Pygmalion" at the
Aldwych theater. within a few streets
of some of its most important scenes.
Almost every speech refers to Covent
Garden, or Totenham Court road. or
some other neighborhood or street
which we know WELL Actors cannot
help but do their best work where
they have the very types they por-
tray waiting in the streets outside to
be studied. and where the audiences
are already familiar with the charac-
ters in real life, and are critical of
costumes, mannerisms, and dialect.
The name of Drury Lane calls up
in the American mind the glories OF
the English stage. which are the heri-
tage not only of the English nation.
but of all who speak the English Ian

that Drury Lane is the heart of the

be of broad thoroughfare. lined on
either side with splendid marble
playhouses. Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth
In fact. it deserves the name OF
lane. 1t is a dirty. narrow, crooked
street which runs from a point just
off New oxford street almost to the
Strand. In the courts and alleys
which open off it are some or the
worst slums in London. Upon 1t are
the backs of office buildings. dozens
of dirty little shops. and an occasion
unobtrusive theater. 1t is crowded
with the miserable poor OF London
who iostle the well-dressed theater-
goers and gave without curiosity at
the limousines of chorus glr's ana
millionaires. The British tempera-
ment delights in contradictions, ana
