Heio was criticism as sneejiiug as the

that tho cynic iu tho eomfortablu coat was

ladies about to tako part iu the important

They wero self-possessed, of course, and

no manner of doubt that they were not

The rtltllculous Itclicnr.al
Thcro nre very few persons outsido of
tho theatrical profession that havo CTor
seen n rehearsal, and it is doubtful if ono
out of twenty could w itness n rehearsal
of any play as it occurs, iu every day
clothes, uud not laugh right out. If a
company is going to Btart out on the road
to play Othello, for instanco, they havo
to rehearse, and it is asdiffeieut from the
regular play as possible. Othello, instead
of being paiutod black, and wearing tho
clothes that he appears in before an au
dience, is liable to como in richt from n
free lunch, and whilo wiping the beer off
ins inousiacue, talk ins lines ns though
ho was ordering ham nnd eggs, nud ho
stands around with n plaid ulster uud a
paucahc uaton, ana maybe carries rnt
tau cane. Ho does not look Bcrco nt all,
and when he unothers Desdemoua it is n
mere matter of form. She lays down on
a bench, with her travelling ulster on,
and a wide hnt, nnd Othello pretends to
make her swallow a Bleeping car pillow,
nud that ends the whole business. They
just walk through tho play, and joke each
other, nnd act as though they were run
ning n flee for nil tnlkmg match. They
hurry thiough and Othello goes from his
murder to it billiard room and plays n
gnmofortho drinks, whilo Desdemona
sits dow n on a trunk and docs some cro
chet work, or mends tho skirt of her dress,
which has been torn ou a nail. If she
owns n dog it is moro than likely bIio car
