TWO SHAKESPEARE PLAYS AT Good Acting of the Cast, Generally; the Star Shines With but Faint ' Effulgence. A young womari, traveling abroad, recently met a German of wldo schol arship and culture who had learned English alone. In his study, and in his rending of the language confined him self to Shakespeare's plays. He was an .(enthusiastic. Shakespearean; Jils diction can be readily Imagined by Shnkespeare students, although puz zling nnd almost Incomprehensible, to any who 'have not read Shakespeare and tho .literature - of his day.' In greeting his new acquaintance this gentleman would remark, "I bid thef good morn," fnlr lady, shall we walk anon?" and continue In like vein wholly unconscious of anything strange or unusual In his conversation. This little tale is told to point the moral of an admonition tb all actors who 88ay' Shakespearian rolesj to bear In mind that they are speaking a language that is to most of their hear ers a little difficult of comprehension. An actor can not succeed In the ro mantic drama without the aid of per fect enunciation and the gift of Inter preting the matter by the manner modulation, emphasis, expression, here In Ilea success. The company that yesterday pre sented "Romeo and Juliet" and Twelfth Night," at tho Grand opera house deserve commendation for many things; the staging and costuming were adequate. In some Instances fine; there was a uniform excellence In the minor roles and Joseph De Grasse and Charles J. Conrad are. leading men of strength and ability enough to support a star of the first magnitude. Mr. De Grasso was a handsome and Blltmore Firewood. Phone TOO. LISTEN! TYPEWRITER USERS.

Phone 448. 1 9 Impassioned "Romeo," particularly good in the closing scenes of the di'ama, and In the evening, as "Mal volio," he showed great versatility ami talent as a comedian. His make up was excellent; he did not at night even suggest the "Romeo" who won the neart of the matinee girls. Mr. Con rad's interpretation o( "Mercutio," that fascinating creature, dashing. Im pulsive, joyous, whose untimely death wrings one's heartstrings, was. good acting; his "Duke Orslno" in "Twelfth Night" was well done. Miss Mav Stu art's work was uneven; she wos at her best In the tragic scenes of "Juliet." In the roles of "Viola'' and "Juliet" li Is not ; necessary that an actress should be beautiful although beauty goes far but she should have charm and bo able to at least assume youth, and to be : physically adooted to n youthful role. In these essentials Miss Stunrt falls short.. She does not look thft girl of . 14, the accented age of Juliet," nor the slender stripling, nx "Viola" masquerading as a page. She falls, too, to get into the spirit of the plav, she was essentially a girl of the twentieth century. In her soliloquy with the ring, where she speaks of Ollvlos" love, she appenred as s modern school girl, amused at a jest. I am the man. ' In her love scenes with "Romeo," when she strove to be coy and artless, the attempt provoked smile. In less exacting roles her good ncting and case of manner would carry her far on the road to success. The plays would both gain by judi cious pruning, as anyone who has seen Maud Adams' production of Twelfth Night," can testify, the sing ing of the fool, a Character well done by Joseph Lehmann, the mandolin music and many monologues should be shortened' to please the popular taste."' The entertainments yesterday were marred by young people, some v of them In the parquet circle and dress circle, who kept up an almost continu ous moving about, talking and laugh ing, evidently trying to disturb the cast, and forgetting, ' perhaps, that they were also discourteous to the audience. One other comment is, that surely a city of AshevlUo's size and pretensions should discard strange settings decorated with local adver tisements. Fancy Romeo, smitten to the heart With the news of Juliet's death, summoning the gruesome apothecary to purchase from him the fatal prison, and having him step forth from a building that bears the lgns, "Buy your meats of 80j-and-8o," and "Don't for Undo Blank's pawn shop!" .
