Mr. Sol hern's par, formancc of Hamlet Is well known to local theatregoers as a praiseworthy effort, and be has nover moro thoroughly deserved com- mendation for Mils artistic portrayal of the melancholy Dane than lu the present performance of the role. In each.;successive appearance he has shown improvement and this, in suite of the fact that when tbe local critics first sow hlru essay the rblo they placed; his Hamlet among tbe noted Hamlets of atage history. Mr. Hotburn's Humlet of today differs only lu tone and color .from bis first. It has mellowed with the actor's closer association with it. With Julia Mar- lowe's Ophelia New Yorkers were uufamlllur. It was her flrst. appearance here In the role aud her success whs uiuiueBtlujird. Ophelia does not, of course, give Miss Marlowe tho mime opportunities given her by other Shakes- pearean roles In which she has appeared with great success, hut she nevertheless proved how much she Is mistress of her tut and save nu Ophelia at ouco human and con- vincing.

The house was well filled on Monday,' Nov. 14, by an audience that thoroughly, appreci- ated tbe many thrilling situations with which tbe piece abounds. Eulalin Bennett, In the character of Maryland Calvert, cap- tured the house by her decldcly clever Im- personation, being graceful and sympathetic In the-heart Btlrrlng scenes. Florence Ross- land, as Nancy McNalr, was piquant and fas- cinating. . The cast In overy particular was thoroughly competent and all bandied their roles with care. Wtlljam McLaughlin, in the part of the wheezy nnd. deaf sex- ton of- the old chinch, made his char- acter one of tbe moBt noticeable or the productions. The cast In full follows: Gen.

Theatre (Sam S. & Lee Shubert, muflugem).—On Thursday, Nov. 10, Mme. Itejane presented "La Fasserelle," a comedy. In three acts, by Fred Oresac and Francis da Croisset. This piece was played last season, under the title of "Tue Marriage of Kitty," and suffice It tossy that In the translation It had been toned down for its performance in English. There is an abundance of wit throughout, and to all such passages tbe large audience responded heartily. Itlsijue situations are numerous and not always es- sential to- the success of tbe play.•■ Mme. Rcjone, as Jacqueline, was vivacious and piquant, and bubbled over with mirth. Her every move and opeech had;a meaning, and tier' performance was one hard .to : surpass. Mme. Avrli, as Helene, was not far behind In her. conception of tbe eventually neglected woman, the transitions from comedy to pathos being quickly and delightfully, done. M. Duiueny, as Roger, was a delight at all times, his keen perception of the humorous coming to his aid admirably.. As the suitor who shifts from one woman to the other, with always a good excuse to offer, he caused many laughs. As Blenalme, the middleman In the Contra-marital arrangements, M.'Bcr- thclr, was excellent—In fact, they are a aplon- did quartette of comedians. Mmes. Cterg and Deylia and MM, Kelm and Due sustained minor roles well. The piece was well Staged' and the costumes were In keeping. The cast In full: Jacqueline. Mme. Rejane; Helens Dumoullns, Mme. Suzanne Avrli; Rosalie, Mme. Clery; Vlctolre, Mme. Deylia; Roger de Gnrdannes, M. Duiueny; Blenalme, M. Ber- th |er; Baptist in, M, Kelm ; Planchet, M- Due "La Robo Rouge," a play, in lour acts, by E. Brlcut, was presented by Mme. Rejane and bcr company Nov. 14. It Is a matter of conjecture why a star of Mme. Rejane's magnitude should select a play In which she appears.la only two out of four acts, and then for twenty-five minutes at the outside. The play has been presented hero before, and deals with the law, as It Is understood in France, and lawyers In their, own I conceit. It is'talky. lacks action and palls upon tbe hearer with the exception of a few spots, and the • general effect Is tbat of gloom. Mme. Rejane,. as Yanetta, the-unfortunate peasant woman, gavo a remarkably Strong, virulent performance during her' few, mo- ments on the scene. The character was cut' like a cameo, though the Intuitive comedy lenBO seemed longing to burst through the funereal drawing ana cast a ray of sunshine thereon. SI. Renoux, us Elcbcpare, her bus- band, was socond lu securing honors, pre- senting a picture true to life and;expressing auger, despslr, fury, lore and remorse In turn;.; M. Dummy, as Mouzon, lacked. the requisite feeling, und failed to impress. M. Monti,, as Vugrel, was excellent at times, though ho failed to hold tbo attention throughout. His most notable work was done In the third uct The other .members of tbo cast,were, equal to tbe work at bund, though none of them'had much to uq; the women even less than the men.

Nov. 14. •sad by its wealth ot features and general rich- ness quite overshadowed its predecessors. "Hurapty Dumpty" Is the title of■ the work, which to by 1. Hickory Wood and Arthur Collins. It has been adapied to tho Amer- ican stage by John J. MeNally, the lyrics and music are by Cole and Johnson. Glover and Solomon, the ballets by Ernest D'Auhuu, nnd the entire production Is staged by Her- bert Gresham and Ned Wayburn. It Is In three sets and eleven scenes, and its spec- tacular.-features, Its ballets and Its revels of color In costuming combine to bring theso departments to a point of eclipsing mag- nificence that force the book Into tbe back- ground, but in spite of tbat, one who wit- nesses the production can follow ireadily die- slight plot,{-which Is n most .oblig- ing little story, consenting to step aside for songs and ballets without demur. The plot concerns I the. - efforts ot Blossom to And the" mnglc ring which the king In- sists she shall secure before he will recog- nize herns the-princess.- With Hnmpty Dumpty, Harlequin, Columbine, Pantaloon nnd all the other famous .characters, Blossom goes-to the bottom ot the sea. and after many trials - secures possession of the ring, weds Rudolph, the prince, and receives the king's blessing. Tbe celebrated characters ot childhood's rhymes perform many antics, aided by mechanical contrivances that shoot demon's into the air and made possible tnanv diverting bits of by-play. Although there Is little humor In the lines, the music Is aulte pleuslne and the characters arc ren- ered entertaining by sheer cleverness of In- terpretation. However, the audience on the opening nlxbt did not appear disposed to be too particular as to the brand of humor served up, and ample satisfaction seemed to bnve been accorded to all in tbe matter of pleasures for tbe eye. Tho fairy forest scene, at tbe finish of act one, introducing u ballet called the Frolic of tbe Birds, with the Grlgolatls Troupe ot aerlallsts featured, was one of the biggest and moBt beautifully costumed ballets ever shown here, tbe pic- ture at tbe drop of the curtain being pretty beyond tbe power of adjectives to fittingly describe. The second act introduced at its close another ballet, more elaborate, If pos- sible, tban tbe first, and its character per- mitted tbe settings and costumes to take on a little novelty In design, for It wss a "coral ballet," and a perfect dream of color and movement. Great credit is due Mr. Gresham and Mr. Wayburn, and Mr. D'Auban won tbe greatest honors of the evening. Several songs were excellent, but the one called "Mexico" made the greatest success of all. William C Schrodc did most agreeable work as Hutnpty Dumpty, proving himself u master In the clowning art. Lllllaa Coleman whs petite and charming as Blos- som, George Schiller made a capable King and Maud Lillian Bexri had the render- ing ot most of the "plums" lu the singing line, acquitting- himself with credit. Frank Moulan playea Little Mary, the cook, nnd was funny only at rare occasions, because there was little chance given him. His song, "Man, Man, Mao," was well rendered. Nellie Daly was nimble and graceful as Princess Marie, and her dance In the royal kitchen, with Its acrobatic abandon, was capital. Harlequin was splendidly played by Joseph C. Smith, who whs the embodiment of grace and nimble. Third Annuo Theatre (Martin J.
