The story of Hamlet. of

is done, let John Burke, as
Claudius, and Robert Straus. as q

were the most convincing in their
parts of those actors not Iaen-
toned heretofore.
1t is unfortunate that the ex-
cellence of these Shakespearean
plays must be spoiled somewhat
for many hearers, due to the poor
acoustics of the Auditorium.

."Tis pity that such splen.

part of a temperamentai young
man, he appeared too much a
shell Of great spirit that was
gone.
His voice and his fire remain
the same as in decades past, but
no longer can he carry such an
energetic role as Hamlet with the
drive of youth. Only this natural
handicap kept his action scenes
from being as strong as those III
which he wrestled with his own
mind. via soliloquy.
The exactness. Of Mr.. Mantell's
presentation was made up of his
excellent voice, which falters
slightly under the stress of hur-
ried lines; his facial reflection of
the mood which grips him; and
the use of his slender, expressive
hands. Perhaps the last is the
most noticeable, as he brings his
hands into play to reinforce every
strong line from his lips. He

who will circulate among the

opening, as a special expedition

it was his understanding that
four balloons were wanted.
That, OF course, necessitated an
other journey. and what with
the trade-winds, labor unrest

just kept happening.

for Saturday night. It'll be like
