In making a record ol Mr. Tree's pr?s ntmeni of Hamlet, -which wai effected las! nigh! al Abbey's The.tie for the fini time In America, Il would be pleasant, if ?t were lust, to us? the language of un? restricted admiration, Mr. Tree li ?? food actor, conscientious, careful, experienced and expert, and, a? a comedian. Wtthlfl the lirr.l's pi, --, r-.bed by his nature, h,, la competent. Impressive aril delightful , Hi? aims ,:r. h .,!.; his poeltkm II auspicious; his In* I fluenca Is good, his success is desirable, not | simply for his own sake but for the sake of that 1 public welfare which, more or le??, is affecte?) by | the stage. But Mr. Tree's judgment does not keep ; pace with his discretion, and when he appear? a? Falstaff and as H.tmiet he make? it Impossible for ', even th.- most propitious favor to view his exploit? ,' with Unqualified sympathy. His performance of Fat* j staff, although ingenious with ?tag? craft, and ! therefore meritorious, lacked the essential attrl butes of th. character, and especially lacked Its rich. B| intaneoua humor; and therefor? it was radically \ im'ierfect. For the first time, Indeed. In th? ?taste \ history of that part. Falstaff ?ra? ?legra,led to a character of farce; h? cr.pt upon ail fours and was ! apanked with a trick cudgel. Horsep'ay may aiUUM : thoughtless persons, but It Is not llke'y to g.-t It* ! self accepted as high dram.itl.* arr. Mr. Tree's per? formance Of Hamlet was nearer to the truth thin in- Falataff mor? interesting, and far more worthy Of his talent an! his fame. ?Soma Of IU attributes. indeed, ara eapecially admlrab>. it Is ?pervaded by a line intellectuality; II has distinction of beating; It has an appropriate quality ol mystical Incerti? tude, and it is marked by coplou? variety of ?x pn -,ve ?posture, ?realth of large and eloqueol g?-s i:ie. and felicitous flow of elocution. <?n the other hand. It Is shallow, devoid of poetic emotion, finirai In fit?ro. marred by Inappropriate aiTin?-?-? and fuaay bustle, and hai I and metallic in execution, it belonas to the school that In ?England was repre? sented by ?Barry Sullivan, it wlni reap* : It an* not in-p'.re affection. Th? character of Hamlet has been llaCUsa? I ?many time.? and so fully i-i this o.umi, thai ? r? view of '.t now might prove bul the tedloui re* Iteration of familiar thought?. The notion that an eaaay 'ii Hamlel ahould bt written every Urn? ? fresh effort I? made to play rh? part adds ne? terrors to ufe and nughl not to be tncouraged Haml ?

Mr. Tree lenoted Intelle tuai grasp of the subject In hi- treatm nr of Hamlet'? madnes?. ?making th? Prince by ;;m? mad .itii san-, but keeping him steadily in (he borderland between lunacy and reason. Ai the 'Hi?as of th? play-scene he made Hamlel completely delirious, and his clamor waa sharply effective, In hi* treat* ment of Hamlet'? love for Ophelia wai - - felicitous, ?because lea? true Hi.? action, Indeed, waa gracious and sweel the action if furtlvel) i,.> ing OpheHa'? hall and of pitiably casting tl sr?r?
