uot carry his lines
that is required
for them. His famous speech of
“TomorroAV and tomorroAv and to-
niorroAv” AA'as OA'erly dramatized
thus losing the strength of the
lines and the effect. The scene in
which Lady Alacbeth kills herself
with a slirieking scream almost
brought the audience to the point
of laughter because Alacbeth put
no feeling in his question of Avhat
the noise of her scream Avas.
The drunken porter scene in
which the only comic relief m
‘Macbeth” is found Avas no relief
at all. “It Avas purely slap-stick
comedy,” remarked Air. Aloore.
The Avitches’ scenes Avere too
long and draAvn out. The charac

fective, lioAveA’er.
The costuming of the play Avas
splendidly done, the diction Avas

scenes Avas handled Avell. The
acting Avas the flaiv in the pla>,
but for an amateur compaiiA the
play Avas surprisingly Avell direct
ed and produced.
