TvasB Queen : Id the flippant lotrodaollon to HamUt la three aota, I briefy tald all that was neoaaeary (preeum- log, of course, that every reader was Bufflclentlj Intelli- gent to comprehend a shetoby explanation, and compe- tent to supply the details of each skeleton aaggestlon), and though I oaoMy no niors nov, it seems requisite tbat I ehoofd urge the fact of the df olded difference between condensing a play for stage representation, and Impudent- ly matllaUng a readable poem. In all ages, eminent dramatists have gladlr adopt«d (he correoUons and alterations of managers and actors of In- ferior abilities. Slice Shakespeare's time, none of hls.playa have been played or even pabllshed as he wrote them. Foi tbe stage, curtailment and Interpolation have always been deemed necessary. It la a fsot, almost ieyondiuputt, that no actor ever played Hamlet as Shakespeare wrote It. Hence, It Is merely a qaestlon of taste and polloy as to which condODoatlon or which edition will best please the pabllo, and make tbe best acting play for the present day. This Is the only real point at Usae—and It will be long before this point la submitted to a pnbllc test, for the sim- ple reason that the theatrical Is the moat conservative of all the professions. Reforms are made in the legal pro- feslon, the solenoe ofinedlolne advances, clergymen are becoming more enlightened and liberal, Invention la ripe, art Is matorlng, anaproness Is everywhere; save in the theatre. The reason la obvious, tbe remedy plain. ' In condensing a play tor the stage, the questions of sa- crilege and presnmptfon are no( to be oonsldered. No welllnformea man, no scholar of good critlcaljadgment, wUl raise those qaeatlou. I have vei7 good rrason to believe (from Information derived from sonroee familiar to every sohool boy) and I io believe that the USS. of Bhtkespeare's plays were all of them horned In the great fire In London In 1618, when the Qlobe theatre was destroyed: so that what are now called Shakespeare's playa oonalst of about one line of Bhaketpeare to dfly of eome theatrical copyist or short hand writer. , . . Great thoughts, great maxims, may lest forever, bat Meat plays seldom retain possession of the stage longer Uian one generation. The language changes; manners, tutos, customs, all ohange—tbe human race, coUeotlvelv BpiAyiuDB, Is far more advanced than In Shakespeare's time, what was then considered a good play, wonld A asi*D irviia -Oa Wedaaidiy truing, Jaly 9tlb, th« Siadt Tbral'O wu Ibe loeos of a drtsialioemt wblob will be long remem- bered Is tbe blatory nf New Tork aoiatrur Ibailrtcaln.

Then hooks and newspa- pers were not so abandant as they are now. Then the theatre was tbe mostavallable medinn fordlffoslng know- ledge. Then people were wllllog to sit Sve or sU hoars to see a play. Tbey made It a serlons matter—they went to gali^ knowledge as well aa amosement—they took their note boohs with the'm to noto down all tbe good thbgs in .the plays, for plays then were nearly what newspapers, bonks, eermoos, and lecturesare now. Hence, tbrongh all ol Sbakeapeare's plays, instances abound where he has ap- parently forgotton the plot altogether for the sake of In- trodndog the brilliant thonghta which alone have render- ed blm famooB. Now, every great thibg ever altered by Shakespeare oan be read dallv In the Jonrnals, the novels, the magazines, tbat flood oor parlors. To write a good play nowadays. It Is deemed ueoessary to have bat on« plot, and that straightforward, simple and Interesting; conveying some nseful lesson. le Is allomtble for an au- thor to interleave with bis plot the great thonghte and maxims that aoggest themselves, provided he does not mattriaUy digress from the main enbject to introdnce them. There are pTete enough In one of Shakespsare'a plays to make five good aoting plays of the present day. Soaroe- ly any of ob bnt has seen a country elore where were sold Hardivare, Drogs, Diy Goods, Grcoerles and Lnmber. Bat when progress. Improvement, and enterprlEe march Into the region of that country store, it Immediately de- velopes Into Ave coontry etores, and the different branch- es of trade are ssparated, yet the proprietor Is not aeons- ed of sacrllsge. May not the plays of Shakespeare be likened to these old stores t Th; nnprononoceable words and corkscrew sentences may be called Hardware, the doQblfnl,.and the vnlgar sdnunoes may be oalled Drags, tbe sermons and essays, the Dry Goods, the ploU the Lumber, and those noarlshing maxims and Ideu so ne- cessary to loteUecinal life may be oalled the Orooerlea ▲U good, all beneflolal In their way. For the oloset, vie: lor reading, I wonld decidedly prefer a simple aod pure copy ol Bbakespaare (If it were possible to proonre snob) wllboat emendatlSos or alterations. For than I oould appreciate (wlibont aid) whatever was plain or under- standable, aod I oonld let pass withont any nreat exoItC' ment or mental worry all those passsgsBthatlookedmys- terious or too severely claisloal to be oomprebended by any ordinary msn. Being satlsflad that there Is no snoh thing aa a oopy of Shakespeare pore, I am wIlllDg to accept the edition that comes tbe nearest to It, and to give Shakespeare credit for whatever seems good: and to alttlbate to interpola- tors whatever appeare rldionlooa. And while I take tbe liberty (at the risk of being oalled egotistical) to assert tbat no man worships genlos more thskO I do, that no man has a greater love of «he beantUui, that no man deteste meddlers more than I do, yet I leel it to be tbe height of lolly and absordltv to grow entbuslaatlo over typogra- phical errors and blunders which Shakespeare never com- muted, but whioh are attrlboted to him, and henoe view- ed with great reverence by many of our old iogy actors. I caimot restrain from lepeatbg in this oonneilon the very old anecdoto of the serenaders who stoppsd before a large, fine, old mansloo, and played many sveet tunes, alter which they were ioforffled by tbe uight watobman that" no&oi^ lived Ihoe now." This fs so applicable to our old gentlemen, who, if Shakespeare had written this line II TruUi Is mighty ud wUl prevail," wonld have seen ncthlpg worth especial notice; bnt If the blundering copyist had otused the line to be pnnted thus Troth Is aaaghly aad wUl retail;'' they would have been exceedingly profonnd In their emendations; they woald have proved logically what the Immortal btrd meant by <* naughty" and " retail;" they wonld have jpabltshed chapters to show that a line wblcn In I'self Is ridiculous was beaatlful, aubllme, &c. The greater a inan's lore Is for the labllme, the keenec Is big perception of the ridlcnious, which proves that many of these Shakespeilan scholars, bookworaa, anti- quarians, aod old fogies, havs a very limited faculty for appreciating the beantlfnl, loasmnob sa they are ever ecstatlo, raptnrona, over the simply rldlonlons, and Uielr lives are pssied In poring over musty books and parch' menu, for the mere purpose, perhaps, of aeU aggrandise- ment, or the solving of aone problem of no aeconnt to hu- manity. Tbey neglect the beantUbl of today A-they eee nothing In the glorious enterprises that are dally pro- jected, to enlist their. atteDtloo; tbey look lul to the/u- liirs, but to the past, and find thsir blazon In their ancestfy. I do not wish to o«npy too moch of yonr spaoe, there- fore I cannot say all that might be aald In asawerto those who condemn the new version; but who condemn tt wlibont otfdnng oru gcod ruun^ If any aab, I care not who, will show me one good reason why my weraioa should not be played, I will born every copy that I can tni.Mi when I em wrong, I am always anxious to be rlghteo, I offered the condensation oi HamleL not thinking it to be a woodrons nndsrtakhig, or st all deserrlog of owUdt^ comment, bat merely as a step in the march of progrsaL' and ons sdspted to the wants of the age we Urie u. I,^ fancied (and still fancy) that the best way. for sn Bototi j to honor Sbakeepeare, and to perpetaato hu oasM In tit* theatre, wonld be so to arrange and modify his plays that: thev might always be attraoUre and InstniotiTe « plan. There are trifling errors in the three aot place, which ''■ any competent stoge manager will discover and oorreot at rehearsal I have " cnt oat" many llae things whlob' no one oan appreciate more than I do, bat therarefw- eign to the main plot, and their absence wonla not ren-' der the pUy less Interesting (I have left enough to keep buay the brains of any theatre-goer who Beeks butniy tlon), andtbe stadsntof Bhakespeaire can better relub those portions, alone in hia atndy. The stcdent will find In Hamlet, leotores, erltlqaes, sermons, essavs, and d^ ■■ bales, to ponder over In his closet, bat the tneatie-goar looks for aoilon—he seeks tbe play, the drama. I do not wish ever to criticise Shakespeare—I tmsi tbat I shall never Insult bis memory or detraotfromblsgsnlu ' He left OS bis plays (or our benefit, he gave as (for our ^ nse) great maEuns, brilliant thonghta, pare poetry, moni , lessons, all of which it is our datv to dlsssDlflaw InilM,^ way tbat wonld be prodactlve of the greatest gooMQ mankind, and thereby honor effeclnally tbepas^ pw.^ memory of the immortal bard.
