Sexine that this pion, si Toole’s Theatre, is chiefly about invest- ments. prices, bu shares, and City business generally, On’ Change ought to be dee as ‘a stock piece.” On’ Change, in spite of its name, remains, as the Scotch Professor would say, materially ‘“‘ on-changed” from what it was when I read it years ago in MS,, and considered its success very uncertain on the lish stage unless re- , and considerably re-written. The scenes hang together eoene. The first two Acts would be vastly im- ved by compression ; also by toning down the “‘ business,” the quarrel- Poe, a the strained laughter, which soon becomes wearisome. The piece reminded me of RopERTSON’s earliest work, and the love-making scene in the last Act is first cousin, or cousin-german, to the milk-jug scene in School. But, by the way, waxn’t School also derived from a German source ? ’ E Having said this I have nothing but praise for the details of busi- ness, the laugh- able situations, and the excellent sketch of the Scotch Professor given by Mr. Ferrx Mokrnis. A Scotchman with his broad dialect is always more or less a nuisance on the stage: the truer to nature the imitation, the worse for the success of the piece. But in , On’ Change, Mr. Morris is the exception, and a remarkable one, : : £ tothe rule. There is not too much of him, and in what there is, though on the very border-land—as would be expected from a canny Scot—of caricature, yet Mr. Morris never crosses it, his only tendency being to ex- aggerate the restlessness in his anxiety to emphasize the old Professor's intensely nervous irritability. He is a wiry Scotch terrier, hig = orm apd very wiry. Mr. Geratp Moorr’s idiotic but very third-rate Masher, though first-rate thorough-going little cad, is a very funny bit of eccentricity, but most danger- ously near the humour of the corner-man in nigger Ve There is a Mr, Frank Evans playing Tiffin, a servant in the piece, who, if Mr. J, 8, CLarkE ever revived The Comedy of Errors, might play Dromw of Ephesus to his Dromio of Syra- cuse. Sometimes his tone, action, and facial expression were J. 8. CLARKE to the life. Than Mr. Farren as James Burnett, the kindly, genial, straightforward man of business, pny -y- 4 nr was tt is not much of a part by the side of such a strongly-marked eccentric character as the Pro- fessor, and the over-coloured De Haas, but Mr. FarRren gives it an importance and a bright- ness which make it, in its way, quite a little triumph of art,—considering the very poor material at his command. The Ladies—bless ’em !—are all nice ; the part of Iris; played by Miss Eweretta LawkEnce, being apparently intendéd for something between Minnig Patmen’s Sweetheart and a knowing Lydia Lan- gush. I do not quite understand Mise Jris, but-per she is a style of young lady, whether American or German I eannot say, new me, and so it may be that I am not competent toe pronounce judg- ment on this bran | of the softer sex. ’ Toole s Theatre, during the absence of its spirited Proprietor, who 18 on quasi-public business,’ like Sir Henny James, inthe North, is under the direction: of Mr. W. Duck and Miss° Ewererra Lawrence. A Pair of Ducks! This Duck of a Manager takes the Company to the Strand Theatre,—a Duck having a natural attraction Swan- way and riverwards,—where they will remain for a month, and then they will fly to another home. ‘Follow our Dax” The Poetic aspect of the Play is represented by a good deal of Scot and a little Moore. An Actor who is quite at home in Farren parts. is the Company’s motto. The Ducks may plume themselves on having got a 5 , and their bills will be much the same fora year, if theg rearrange the piece, rewrite it here and there, settle down in some convenient spot, and not be scurrying off like Wild Dacks, But Duck is not a goose: he knows what he’s about, for is he not the sole proprietor of Our Boys? and hasn’t \ he scored off it to any ~ amount? At all events, without mentioning the precise sum, his score is not represented by “a Duck’ little touching up, should not run a year or more. The Scotch . Professor is already 2 a popular character in Iris and her Beau ;°r, The Love Match. on, There is one . great chance he misses : poche he knows what it is, and in his hands, if he avails imself of it, Professor Seneca Pecketing Peck would become a second Dundreary. But this secrét remains locked, from the public, in the bosom of ours truly, Unspiir Nisss. THE WORKING MAN’S FRIEND. [At a large open-air Meeting of Workmen $n Wandsworth Road lately, a Resolution was carried to the effect ** That this Meeting of Workmen repudiates with indignation the impudent prafession of Mr. Genr-Davis to be, as he styles himself, the Working Man’s Friend.’’} % i»... Bill Brown's view of it :— Awt 4t’s all mi uite pooty to hear, And the Muffs ‘and the Jugginses*cheer ; But to chaps as have heard it so often before, This ‘‘ Friend” business is getting a bit of a bore. When Election time comes, and they ’re after our Votes, All the Candidates pipe to such popular notes ; They make much of our wives, and they love us no end, For each Swell on the stump is a Working,Man’s Friend. When some dapper young Toff, with a twirly moustache, Of mixed figgers and fibs makes a horrible hash ; When, carefully crammed like a poor Strasbourg goose, Cooked statistics and cant on our heads he lets loose ; When he twaddles of Tariffs that Labour shall aid, And remove the **appalling Depression of Trade” ; You may bet your last brown, ere he comes to an end, He will erent Monet out as the Working Man’s Friend. When 4 chap to whose party the Labourer’s Vote Was as to get down as a bone in your throat, Comes to beg mine of me, who some few years ago He libelled and sniffed at along o’ Bos Lowe ;~ When he calls at my diggings, or sends round a lot Of fine ladies to flatter, and fuse, aod talk rot ; Then the man as would tse us to serve bis own end, Tells the Missis and me he’s the Working Man’s Friend! Ai! but wb Gait the Siew Deliay Tey t now— The chap with the hammer, the lad at the plough— Have a rare lot of “ Friends ;” and is gape sport To watch ’em all playing at Codlin and Short, But gents like Gent-Davis will patter in vain ; We id them 98 ’d us before j He who tells us Will have the best ¢ again. t truth, and plays square to the end, the Working M ce as au’s Friend!

Is there in the ‘* House’ a nursery for enfants terribles? Doctors and other professional men have to be of full age.

In like manner, mere are excluded from the Church ; and the spectacle of a baby Parson trying ineffectually to peep over the 7-35 a pulpit is a picture of the imagination only. a thild of tender years should be permitted to become a Sworn Broker, is a disgrace to the City of London, inas- much as strong language is obviously most unsuitable to the lips of sucklings. However, the case under review, if it proves nothing else, establishes the fact to every- body’s satisfaction (Mr. MonTGoMERY’s perhaps —=— that the announcement in the omnibuses that “ infants must be paid for,” is legally defensible.

Here’s a specimen :— “ The defence of the Catholic name, indeed of necessity, demands that in the profession of doctrines which are handed down by the Church, the opinion of all shall be one, and the most perfect constancy, and from this point of view take care that no one connives in any degree at false opinions, or resists with greater gentleness than truth will allow. Concerning those things which are matters of opinion, it will be lawful, with moderation and with a desire of inves- Ugating the truth, without injurious suspicions and mutual recriminations.”’ | Surely, the translator must have modelled his style on English as | the is Spoke, unless it be the work of the talented Author of that popular book. Perhaps it is by way of concession to our prejudice in favour of the vernacular, that it is put into a language supposed to be understanded of the people.” If so, the effort, however commend- able, is hardly successful. Papa Lzo is too classic and elegant a writer be treated in this fashion, even by the most scrupulous adapter. THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICER, Last week the Sheriffs for the coming year were nominated, and the report of the ings published in the Times, of November 13th, is a most instructive article. Petitions to be excused from serving were presented by the score. One gentleman explained that he had had the greatest difficulty in meeting his present expenses, and that entertaining the Judges would probably land him in the Bank- ruptey Court ; another urged that he had had to let his Manor-house and live in furnished apartments, a third, that he had lost all his money in a Chancery suit ; a fourth, that he had a small income and a large family ; a fifth, that he had an estate in the county which did not pay, and that he d soon to sell it, and so on, and so on. On all sides came stories of real genuine aristocratic distress, even painful in their miserable details. In fact, the general impression seemed to be, that only the inability to pay for the rope prevented some of the proposed Sheriffs from undertaking their office, solely with an economical view of becoming their own executioners.

MR. PUNCH’S POLITICAL ADDRESS. TO THE ELECTORS (AND NON-ELECTORS, MALE AND FEMALE) OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND TO THE WORLD AT LARGE.

f ’ ad i" t 4 ay Lapres AND GENTLEMEN, _ Rooey-tooey! You will all understand that to begin with. Which is something in an Address, I assure you. "Tis an old cry, and a hearty one suggestive of sincere greeting and honest intent. Whereas the exordium | many a Parliamentary Candidate is much like the melancholy Jaques’s “* Duc- | party, or section, or sect. | whatsoever, save his own, of which | dame,” namely, ‘‘ an invocation to call fools into a circle.’ Mr. Punch is the only real Independent Candidate. He is the nominee of no . Wire-pullers come not between him and his huge con- He is not to be Caucussed into conformity with any ‘‘ Platform” all the ‘‘ planks” himself. As the accepted Counsellor and of all, he cannot to Party give up what was meant—and is used—for Mankind. As to loyally following his Leader, a man cannot correctly be said to follow himself. And Mr. Punchhas no other Leader. He invites the Leaders of all stituency. | parties to follow him. Then they will be all right, As to Manifestoes, Programmes, and Points, Official or Extra-Official, Four, | or Six, or Sixty, Blue or Buff, or flaming Red, Grand Old, or Mild Middle-aged, | festois his weekly Journal, and that is always before the Public. His so 8. or Friskily Adolescent, Mr. Punch binds himself to none of them. His Mani- is continuously unfolded in its pages, and they are in everybody’s han e makes his own Points and they are innumerable. He is not a Political Savage, and does not therefore daub his whole person Blue, Buff, Red or Polychrome. | He combines in himself the ripe wisdom of age with the bright vigour of youth. He therefore needs no tips from Harwarden or Hatfield, from Birmingham or from Woodstock. With ‘‘ Cries” Mr. Punch has nothing todo. His business is to make men laugh—wisely, but well. ae fers f Mr. Punch, in polities, is all for the Four P’s—Principle, Progress, Patriotism and Peace. But these have, in the interest of the Public, to be interpreted and applied by a fifth P,— Punch himself, to wit. For behold the bearings even of | these super-excellent things lie in their application. Principle, as applied by Doctrinaires, means dogmatic Dead-lock in national action, fiscal fetish-worship, and the palsying dictatorship of the Political Procustes. Progress, as applied by the fanatic Socialist, means not the speed that wins, of the trained racer, but the that kills, of the runaway colt. Patriotism—sweet and honourable name!—applied by cock-a-doodling Chauvinism, comes to signify the selfish, short-sighted swagger with which

the Music-Hall Jingo sickens all men of sense and feeling. Whilst Peace, applied b ventionist, is the policy of t * of me ao n. - sti liitae ‘or the clear interpretation, ing illumination, and roper limitation of the F yo Mr. Punch var ms the ublic to his own pages, eae ; Mr. Punch advocates all the Liberty that each man cap have without —— the freedom of another, all the Peace that is possible without forfeiting the right to war against insolent aggression ar ling iniquity, all the Economy that is consistent. with keeping our powder dry, But he would come down like a Thor hammer on lust and licence, fight, as sturdy Tom Huces has it, while he could stand and see, for right, independence, and honour, and kick to unlimited Limbo any Government whatsoever os “g oy ep ben pa ag a ol poct-qusoiel safety for the sake of a Rooey- f Mr. Punch would cherish ‘* Our Boys” of British blod in our world-sprinkling Colonies as the apple of the national eye, the very core of the na heart. Any political Squeers who to stint or snub these Boys of ours may expect from Mr. Punch’s baton a larrupping to which the flagellation administered by the indignant "Mie would, in fact cilow the’ Empire to be dis tegrated e would, in ow the'Em in as little by flouting the faithful co hy kuuiiling under to the disloyal. F , These be the main outlines of « National Policy, com- pores with which such things) as naughtily obstructive rds. Local Option the pragmatical Non-inter. Sloth to be followed by the Retaliatory Tariffs, Land Allotments, and Disestablishment to-day or to-morrow, are if not exactly leather and at least matters of minor importance and urgency. . j r.

VERB. SAP. (A Remonstrance and an Explanation, for the benefit of some kind Friends—and others—at a distance.) Havre received several letters from well-meaning readers on the subject of a small picture in the last number but two, headed *‘ A Fact,” we, on behalf of the ever charitably-disposed Mr. Punch, beg to say that Mr. P. is astonished at any of, his friends for one moment supposing him capable of selecting a sacred theme as a suit- able subject for jesting. hat did such correspondents, if Liberals, think of Lord Ranpotpn’s comparing Mr. GLapstoner’s manifesto tothe Authorised Version, or, if Conservatives, of Lord Roszprry, at Edinburgh, adapting a question from the Gospel narrative to hisfown particular case, which quotation is reported to have been received with ‘ laughter” ? But it being a part of Mr. Punch’s recognised mission, as a satirist, to come down sharply upon all exhibitions of cant, and therefore from time to time, as occasion may arise, on those smug, ignorant, self- elected teachers who vulgarise Scriptural texts by using them as their stock-in-trade p , he was not sorry to record pictorially an instance, respectably vouched for as ‘‘ a fact,” of one of these obtru- sively sanctimonious gentry receiving a smart and telling rebuff from an honestly indignant English yeoman. Honi soit gut mal y pense ; and Mr. P. wishes us to say thus much, and no more, on this subject, though for ourselves, and for our own part, we will add one word on another matter, and that is d propos of a “legend” to a Scotch picture, where undue prominence was given to “* poor letter ‘H’——”’. Now, in the “ proof-slip,” we altered ‘‘ H——” into *‘ to the ——,” thus softening down the American Landowner’s strong expression to something which would be fitter for ears and eyes polite. But this ‘‘slip” by the merest accident,—by another “ slip,”—did not reach the Printer’s hands. Perhaps the Printer’s Devil—“‘ intervening” like the Queen’s Proctor—laid an embargo on it, Anyhow, that slip only reappeared too late to be of any use; for the Printer, as an educated man, unaccustomed to omitting his ‘*H’s,” naturally retained this one in its place, where it was discovered when past praying for. Sincerely, at that moment, did we feel for the trouble of mind which a sin of omission, a want of sufficient care in revision, as he has since explained, caused Mr. Epmunp Yates, when a certain para- graph from a trusted contributor, after it had been marked by him for condemnation, suddenly appeared in his journal, ‘‘ unbeknown” to himself. Heavy was his punishment for this ; very heavy, as it appears to us now, compared with a sentence recently pronounced in a case preg- nant with far more serious consequences. Fancy, we said to ourselves, if instead of only an aspirate which is ‘‘ whispered in Heaven,” but ‘* muttered” elsewhere, it had been alibel! Well, well, we are all human,—with a capital ‘‘H,” and a reminiscence of Havcustus Human-nature Harris,—and having erred, we hasten, proprio motu, to do penance in this sheet, and hold a candle to—no, that’s wrong again— Qui s’excuse s’accuse, et nous nous en accusons. We prefer this course. We like to be ’umble sometimes, and don’t often get the chance of apologising for a “big big D ,” which we might have been pardoned for uttering, when the ‘’ big big H” caught four observant eye, r we, in our misp confidence, thought that it had been di of once and for ever.

A MODEST FLOWER. Wirx the rattling educational cry of the School Board Election still loud in our ears, there is something almost ing in turning to a little volume of = rena | childish rhyme that has reached—so it is stated on its ti its thirtieth edition. The little volume in question, entitled Daisy, or Cautionary Stories in Verse, adapted to the ideas of children from four to eight years old, ex- plains its appearance by stating that ‘‘ with the recent revival of interest in the earlier publications for children, there have arisen inquiries for The oe gs and The Daisy, which have for years been little in demand.” It is not, perha oem to find that there has been no very pressing Aneel 4 or The Daisy, and the absence of any acute agitation for its republication speaks well for the dominant sense of the interval during which its reputation has been suffered to lapse; and it is not to understand the nature of that recent “revival of interest in the earlier publications for children” that has provoked its reappearance. t in the year 1806, when it was Wethten, ie © coulsoasey ” verses may have been adapted to the ideas of chi from four to eight years old”’ need not now be i ; but it must be confessed that for the chil- ace of 1886, accustomed to Little Folks’ ger ga Ve ideas in question, j in pen and pencil, appear to offer somewhat fare. Still there is a straight-forward sim- — about the * Btories ” that is not without its charm. What, or instance, can be more direct and epi matic than—we quote the following, entitled, ‘‘ Naughty Sam” ?

Tom and CHARLES once took a walk To see a pretty lamb, And, as they went, began to talk Of little naughty Sam, Who beat his yaar brother, WILL, And threw him in the dirt ; And when his poor Mamma was ill He teased her for a squirt. * And I,” said Tom, “‘ won't play with Sam, Although he has a top;” But here the pretty little lamb To talking put a stop. As, however, two-and-thirty “ cautionary stories,” of which the above may be regarded as an average specimen, and which are accom- ied by woodcuts of the period, comprise The Daisy, it may on | conceived that those who have been making inquiries about it will, when their inquisitiveness is satisfied by a perusal of its pages, need something a little stronger in backbone, more in harmony with the thoughts and ideas of the day. For instance, the naughty boy of the hour in ony ** cautionary ” sense needs a much more robust handling than that awarded to Naughty Sam. The mere idea of throwing his younger brother in the mud, and bothering his invalid mother for a squirt, would be quite insufficient to supply the sensational environments of the modern pickle. He would base to be dealt with, say thus, as SPITEFUL PETER. Young Peter was so full of spite, That he, without remorse, Procured a ton of dynamite, And blew up Cha- ring Cross. And when Police- man A. discerned The upshot of his vice, To Purex’s Nurse he sadly turned, And said, “This isn’t nice. bed by gentlemen who life begin By giving folks a ock, May someday find themselves within A common felon’s dock.” Then again, the ical ** pooniiog ante”. suggests much greater breadth of treatment than is furnis by the level pages of The Daisy. In these days of over-pressure the opportunity should not be missed of investing the picture with dramatic force in this obvious direction. What, for instance, could be more to the purpose than the subjoined little ‘‘ cautionary ” poem :— ’Tis pleasing to see Tiny Jem, Whose age is un- der two, Floor the Binomial Theorem And Hydrostatics too. For him Papa has < lofty views, . And loves to see him And says Papa, " Although ~ looks, I own, atriflewild, He will, if kept well to his Turn out a clever child.”’ There are, of course, a host of other subj selves, but the above will serve to show what could be direction indicated. A happy combination pee ee Ep an seq y more adapted tte Eeset meokele chidows of frees hour's years old than the mild pabulum which a grandfathers. We make Messrs. Guirrirn, F enterprising Publishers, a present of the suggestion.

Bless the Election!” And another inch of the Colonel’s moustache was bitten off. Then seeing that the non-commissioned officer still lingered, the Commander asked, ‘‘ Well, Ser- geant-Major, do you want anything ?”’ val , Sir, after I have sounded for the parade, may I have leave? 1 have promised to take the chair this afternoon at a meeting at which the Senior Major is to address his constituents, subject to your permission.” “Very well,” replied Colonel Piprctay. And the Sergeant-Major saluted, and retired. Five minutes later, the Commander of the Battalion appeared in the barrack-square. ‘* Hallo!” he exclaimed, in astonishment, ** Where ’s the Regiment ?”’ ** Please, Sir, they ’re all away at the Elec- tion,” replied a voice, apparently proceeding from the guardhouse. ‘*Who’s that addressing me?” asked Colonel Pirxzctay, looking round, and dis- covering no one. ‘** Please, Sir, the Prisoner.” And the solitary occupant of the guardhouse brought himself to ‘‘ attention” in his cell. ** Well, Prisoner, you and I seem to be the only people on parade. What’s the meaning of all this?” asked the Colonel through the bars of the small window. “Please, Sir, I heard that Major Brack, commanding the Right Half-Battalion, had given leave to his companies A, B, C, and D to hear him lecture on Conservatism, while Major Warre had ordered his Half- Battalion to hear him speak on the Radical programme. Another two inches of the Colonel's mous- tache were sacrificed. Then he called out angrily for a bugler. : p *'Verry sorry, Sir,” replied a Police-con- stable, who happened to be * but the whole of the Drums and Fifes have been run in by the School Board.

Now an empty Chamber, ghostly looking in holland covers, an empty Chair, silent benches, and a damp Novem- her atmosphere. Also, ene are ghosts—any number of ghosts, though not all of dead men. There’s Giapstone walking up to be sworn in, advancing with long strides, making low obeisance to the Chair amid the rapturous cheering of the host of his supporters. Full of hope and life and energy ; going to do greater things than ever; an invincible majority at his back ; no fear of dissensions ; all united under the qpeatess leader of modern times, not yet known as the Grand Old Man. Behind, standing at the Bar with hands outstretched, is a burly figure, which asks with plaintive voice, ‘‘ What are you going to do withme?” This is Brapiaven, destined presently to test the unity of the majority. On his right, in the corner seat, on the Front Bench below the Gangway, sits a youth, whose pallid face betokens much burning of the midnight oil. He sits and truculently twirls his moustache.

We are entirely unauthorised to state that Mr. Horsiey, R.A., received a letter from Mr. GLapstong, ‘‘ werry much applauding what he’d done,” or rather what he had said about unclothed models in Art Schools. The Right Honourable Gentle- man says he has no rooted antipathy to the Naked Truth, and sees no objection to Truth, when in a state of nudity, remaining in the Well, which well he would leave alone. But Truth out of the Well is evi- ag another matter, and should be, as Mr. Horstey would have the models, well wrapped up. The G. O. M. quite under- stands how painful it must be to Mr. Hons- LkY’s feelings to travel about the country at this time of year, as he is doing, in search of Pictures for the Winter Exhibition of Old Masters, in consequence of the trees being stript. There was once a political phrase, which success, it was ‘* meddle and mudd and Mr. Giapsrong, while deprecating all attempts to give his mean- ing any other colouring in the Artist Would approve, yet thinks that if ‘‘ Meddle tnd Model” were just now remembered it would be well for all lovers of Art who have future.

The sound of “‘knew’d” was, of course, objectionable, but the Right Honourable Gentleman expressed himself convinced that the humble possessor of the Service-franchise erred ignorantly, and not wilfully, and, therefore, if it had so happened, he begged he might be reinstated. Finally, Mr. Gzapeveas observes that his recent huskiness suggested his addressing the eminent Artist, as the sound of his own voice had reminded him that he was less like speaking Grapstove than ‘‘ speaking Horstry.” A Correction.—We are bound by Christian courtesy to give every one credit for the highest motives, though we may condemn their conduct. So that, when at the end of a lively article in the Daily Telegraph of last Friday on projects for establishing ‘‘ hostels’ for Cit Clerks, we read that ‘‘ there is but one radically effective remedy for bachelor loneliness, that, unfortunately, many members of the useful and honourable guild of City Clerks are from financial reasons, unable to secure—a wife,”—we may suggest that the writer would n have made his real meaning clearer, if, instead of the vague recommendation to take ‘‘a wife” (i.e. some wife, any wife), he had substituted the verb ‘‘ to marry.”

We congratulate Sir Dowap, but the title of “ Extra Knight” is so familiar to old subscribers to the Royal Italian Opera, that it is a question whether this dignity could not be appropriately conferred on either Mr. Gre or Mr. Mapieson, SHAKSPEARE ON THE Paiwrose Leacue.—A student of the divine WI titam’s draws our attention to the speech of the Porter in Mac- beth, act ii., se. 3. We refer the Primrose Knights and Dames to the passage, but do not suppose that those who “go the primrose way” will care to quote SHakspeaReE to their purpose in this instance. How to Rurw Wootwicn Inrants.—Give fifteen Commissions in the Royal Engineers to unqualified outsiders. ee —_ OUR BOOKING-OFFICE. Tue Art of the Stage, by Pency Frrzqematp (published by Remineton & Co.). This is a Collection of CHantes Lamp’s Essays, with a Commentary by Percy Firzcrratp. These Lamb-chops with mint-sauce are dedicated, oddly enough, as faras the name goes, to Mr. Pig-orr. With the Essays everyone is more or less familiar; and Mr. FITz¢ERALD’s commentary adds nothing to them except a Commentary. All Shakspearian students will agree with CHarLEs Lamp, and also with Mr. Percy FitzGERALD, who has the advantage over the de- lightful Essayist in posses- sing a practical knowledge of the modern Stage, and a further advantage in being alive to write about it. A student of Saax- SPEARE gifted with keen dramatic instinct, whether he be a player or no, wiil not only meditate upon the poetry, try to think out every line, and gain an insight into every charac- ter, but will also attempt to realise, in his mind’s eye, the scenes in action. SHAKSPEARE'S Dramas, to be thoroughly appreciated, . must be studied with the heart of a Poet and the eye of a Stage-Manager. An intelligent and ex- perienced Actor may throw great light upon some otherwise unintelligible passage by the invention of appropriate stage-business which, it will be at once felt, was the one g wanting to complete the Scene. But this is equally true of all plays of which we do not possess the “* prompt copies,” or where the details of the action have not been most carefully provided and written down. Mr. Invone in his study can put down all the business for all the characters in Hamlet from beginning to end, and how few comparatively would take the trouble to read the laborious compilation when published! But in three hours they can be impressed with a clearer view of how Mr. Irvine thinks the play of Hamlet ought to be represented, by visiting the Lyceum Theatre, than ever they could by =r tf day such an “‘ acting edition” as we have just imagined. ey may or may not agree with Mr. Invrna’s views, but, on the whole, the majority of those who are fairly well up in the play will enjoy the performance more fur that very reason ; and the fact of their having seen the Pe, intelligently performed, will add a zest to their next perusal of it in the privacy of their own study. If we had no theatres, and suddenly discovered the plays of Suaxk- SPEARE, there would be a national subscription, or, in these days, & Limited Liability Company immediately formed, for the a per of building a theatre for their special production. We should not be content merely to read them: we should want to see them in action. What Cuartes Lams, who was not much of a dramatist himself, does not seem to value sufficiently is, the undeniable fact that these plays were written to be performed, not to be read, and the characters were in many cases, notably that of Hamlet, written to suit certain members of SHAKSPEARE’s Company. We fancy Mr. FitzGERalp has missed this point—or we have overlooked it, in reading his com- mentary, which, by the way, is written = chatty res and if it does no more promote a re-reading of Eha’s Essays, it will have served a good purpose. A Christmas Angel.—We protest against Mr. Farszon getting us to take him into our houses with his Christmas and then in return taking us in, and making us weep and and blow our noses, and giving us red eyes and violent coldsin our heads. It isn’t kind, Mr. Fanszon. Such Angels’ visits are fortunately few and Far(jeon) between, so it will be another ve months before he to do it again. There is yet another month to Christmas. s00ur advice is, read this book—a beautiful little book it is, though a bit cloudy and mysterious at first,—before Christmas comes, and then t something to make you laugh, for Mr. FaRszon’s Angel will not o this. Very much to the contrary.
