ROWLAND BUCKSTONE

DOR some years the ranks If Shake
L spparran comedians Of the first order
hove not been crowded. With the passing OF
Rowland blackstone they are lamentably
shrunken.
With the art Of this admirable actor,
whose death is just reported from London,
philadelphians have long been agreeably ac-
legc of Rowland Burkstone TO essay vastly
greater variety Of roles than those which fall
10 the lot Of players whose names blaze in
the electric signs. With but few inter-
ruptions, he was member of the compa-
nies of T.. II, Sothern for thirty Ave years,
an extraordinary record Of allegiance in
stageland.
During the course ot that long period,
Mr.. Buckstone's gift Of character delinea-
ton, his sure, incisive and unctuous comedy
touch was displayed to brilliant advantage.
His superb Sapt in THE Prisoner Of
Zenda," Of the far-awHy era Of the drama
tized romantic novel, was no less a tribute
TO his talents than his fantastic and vivid
Nikelmann. Of Iiauptmann's symbolic mas
tcrpiecc 'The Sunken Bell II was only
of comparatively late years that his feeling
for Shakespearean comedy bore cOnspic-
nous fruit. Among the most memorable in
that splendid gallery of portraits are his Sir
Toby In Twelfth Night" his Dogberry in
much Ado About Nothing his Launcelot
in "The Merchant of Venice" and, above
