,,Inn,I( l" nr.O "ItlrhBr.l HP'ntlhn Chmniit
Jlmnlit was jierfunncd Tueeday night at
trie CLernut Street Theatre to a larc;e audience,
arid Willi a distribution of characters alovc the
average in cllicioncy. Mr. Davenport's ,;IIam
Ict" Las loritf 'x'i'n acknowledged ty those who
liavo studied the part for themselves as the best
uj'on the American slajre. It is not merely a
graceful piece of acting, or au elegant piece of
elocution, or a thoughtful interpretation of the
moFt dillieult character in ihe whole range of
the drama; hut it is a personation warm, and
gl-wing with life, and the actor Inspires his au
dience w ith the impression that he not only acts
with his head hut with his heart, that he feels
what thtre is in the character, and that In his
nuer consciousness he has reached the heart of
its mystery. In spite of its remarkable merits
Mr. Davenport's ''Hamlet" has never been as
popular with the masses as Mr. Booth's perso
nation of the tame part to a certain
extent it has been "caviare to the
general" and without making any invidious
comparisons it will not bo amiss to say a few
' words in retard to the why and whero'ore.
Mr. Booth's most remarkable characteristic is
Igood tantc, nnd this has served him better than
j)o:tical instincts have some other actors, Mr.
O.i vt nport among the number. Mr. Booth has
irccunftructed the whole of the sUsfo "business"
of his "Hamlet," and lnj has done this with re
markable judgment. His performance of this
role is a wonderfully bcautifijl piese of mi'chin
ism. but we cannot undcrst md how any student
of 8h ikes i are can say that, apart from its
most pleturetiipic cvterior, Mr. Booth's "II im
et" is a great performance. Mr. Davenport, iu
his p'.-i sonai ion of (his part, presents Bomu
"poin'V which are his own; but, br the most
part, he follows closely the traditious of the
stage, and his "Hamlet," in Its extern vl features,
does not differ materially from the perform
ances of a number of other actors who have
undertaken the t ola. Its great merits are in
the interpretation ol the text, nnd it would be
a great jci forniauee still if Mr. Davenport, dis
cardingnll the usual uppliauces of the the re,
should undertake the representation of "I I un
let," dressed only in his ordinary street costume,
and without any advantages of scenery. It
needs no argument to prove which of two such
performances must be the best, but it is ea -y to
understand why that of Mr. Booth should bj
the most general!' popular.
Without undertaking the, at this late day,
useless tak of ghing a close criticism of Mr.
Davenpoit's "Hamlet," it nny not be amiss for
ns to make a few comments noon two impor
tant points w herein he, Mr. Booth, aud every
other aetjr who attempts the part fail to
give it a thoroughly adequate presentation upjti
the stage. Let any experienced play-gojr rea l
rtat'Afntli tint . tirl nii it, ,.f (tin f'if ,.t ..f I !.
Itrngedy, and (hen ask himself whether ha has
lever seen it acted as it should be. The scene
M . ti .1. !. ..r .i... i.ii ii i t . . . .
aucr mu i aii. ui uiu ununi is one 01 me most
remarkable liiat Shakespeare ever wrote. A
relaxation of the mental strain induced by the
interview with the "(Jhout," is plainly indicated
by "Hamlet's" ' wild aud whirling words," and
the frightful humor of the reference to the
"fellow In the cellarage" marks a mental reac
tion that certainly approaches, if it is not really,
madness. Thuro is a forced calmness in
"Hamlet's" demeanor towards his trionds,
but this is disturbed by the underground
utterances of the "fihost," and there is so.ua
thing almost hysterical in the 1 vnguaj;u that t'a
dramatist has put in the mouth of the prince at
this point. We well undeistand bow dilli
cnlt it must be to represent this scene upon the
stage, but it should be represented, for it is the
key to the mystery of "Hamlet." Mr. Daven
port is the man of all others to restore this im
portant passage, for if he cannot act it, no one
on the American stage can.
Another point is that none of the representa
tions of "Hamlet" sufllciently mark the "antic
disposition" which was the sign of the real or
khe pretended madness of the former. In the
very first scene after the interview with the
"unosi, "upneiia teas tier iamcr now "Jiam
llrt." nnnenred to her:
-ii-
"With bis doublet all unbraced;
No hat upon tits head; hts stockings foul'd,
I ncarter'd, and down-gy ved to his ancle :
Pain as Ma shirt ; his knees knocklnir each other.
MAnd with a look so piteous in purport,
MAs if re had been loosed out or hell
rJTo speak of horrors."
( I It is clear from this that Shakespeare intended
I '"Hamlet" to aDOear with a disordered dress and
all the outward eigns of madness in the subse
quent scenes of the play; but who ever saw the
character presented in this manner? We com
mend these points to the notice of Mr. Daven-
f port as being in every way worthy of his re
spectful consideration.
The support on Tuesday night at the CheBnut
was, for the most part, very satisfactory. Mrs.
Davenport made an excellent "Queen," and
Miss Glover, who appears to be au actrese of
real ability, gave a thoroughly artistic persona
tion of "Ophelia." Mr. Thorne was a respecta
ble "Ghost," although he epoke too loud, and
the other parts were very fairly represented.
The performance of Jiivhard III last evening
attracted another Cue audience, Mr. Davenport
V.
being the representative of the hunchback
tyrant. Shakespeare's Lancastrian prejudices
lied him to paint "Richard" as a perfect villain,
uuuouu mero is guuu icusuu ii ucucve luai, n
not a perfect model of virtue, he was far from
being as bad as his enemies have insisted that
he was. However it may violate historical truth,
the tilav rt Tiinhanl ITT In n. masifirlv nerfnrm.
r J j i
ance,aud a certain dash of melodrama about the
hero has made it one of the most popular plays
upon the stage. Mr. Davenport in
Shis personation of "Riclurd" follows
closely the traditions of the stage,
and It differs from the efforts of other actors
'more in the degree of power displayed than In
fany merely outward characteristics. The shell
s the same, but the vivifying spirit Is that of
Vhe artist who understands how to realize all
vnhe terrible energy with which the dramatist has
I endowed the "Richard" of his play. The per
I formance last evening, apart from Mr. Daven
l port's fine acting, presented many points of
Excellence, the "Queen Elizabeth" ol Mrs. Dav
enport, the "Lady Anne" of Miss Glover, and
ihe "Richmond" of Mr. Thorne being particu
A larly entitle! to commendation.
Professor Rufcb Adams This gentleman,
who is so well-known in our city as an able and
experienced teacher of elocution, we are grati
fied to notice, has lately appeared In his hitherto
accustomed role of an actor. He appeared as
'Keylock" at the Amateurs' Drawing Room, on
the 13th inst. a part in which he had previ
ously made a favorable Impression at the Arch
Street Theatre, both occasions being of a com
plimentary character. At the Amateurs' Draw
ing Room he was cleverly supported in the cast
ly a number of Lis pupils, who acquitted them
selves not only with credit, but well-merited
applause. The comedy of the Merchant of
I t nice went off finite smoothly, aud exhibited
iu a very acceptable manner the merits of his
mode ol tuition. The recitations and enactions
of the several parts were, to our mode of think
ing, ns favorable as could have been expected
fri'tn mi amateur troupe.
rrolerstT Adams, we learn, will apnenr agiin
hoijly nt the Amateurs' Drawing Komi, and
soon afterwards at the Arch Street Theatre, in a
new rolr, when bis numerous friends and ad
mirers will have another opportunity of testify
ing in a suitable manner both their respect and
appreciation of Ms histrionic efforts. That he
has been a faithful and indefatigable preceptor
in the elocutionary art will generally be Ad
mitted, and we sincerely hope that in the
resumption of his vocation noon the staijc he
will receive that generous and encouraging aid
nnd support as will tend materially to enh-nre
his chances for those coveted prizes fame and
fortune.
