Zear is one of the most gigantio creationsin tne whole range of dramatic poetry. While his history extends back into the regions of remote antiquity, his mature resches forward to the most enlightened age. He comprehends at once the wildest and the truest nature. Poetry is his ordinary lapguage, Emotion has full possession of his being. Art has done nothing for him. Intellect has not subdned or restrained his feslings. In- stinct sarves him for judgment. The very pov- erty of his resouroes confirms him in hie habits of imperionsness and self-relisocs. Many of theae qualities are obscured by Mr. Booth. He gives tb Lear too much appearance of art, which, in this case, is not art. The recklessness and the audacious sel{-assertion of the character, his untutored 1naoners, and his intense paesion, are mot dislinctly shown. So it bap- pens that XNr. Booth in the first two acts of the play is a feebie representative of the masgive barbarian King. He is samewhat better after the period of maduness begins. The scene with Edgar is full of beauties. It reminds the spectator of eoms of the meditative passages in * Hamlet.” The recognition of cordelia and the dying scene also have considerable merits. the last two weoks, under the direction of Mr. Seymour, of McVicker's. The play will be re- peatel to-morrow eveniog for the bevefit of the Club, when they expect to see all their friends. “ Mach Ado About Nothing ” is not ordioari a strong drawing play. Mr. Booth, it is said, attributes its weakness in this respect to its title. Ignorant people read *‘ Much Ado About Nothing," and instinctively decline to assist in a ueeless entercrise. There may be somethiog in this, and, if 80, the title of the play for stage parposes migh well be made * Benedick and Beatrice.” The old title, ¢ The Taming of the Shrew,"” on the other band, is much better than the ** Katherine and Petruchio " which has been improvised to do service for the stage farce condensed from the origioal. **Hamlet” will be produced Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights, at McVicker's Thea- tre, with Mr. Booth as Hamlet, Mr. Warde as Laertes, Mr. Gossia as the Ghosh Mr. MoVicker a8 the Gravedigger, Mr. Barron as Horatio, Mies Carroll a8 thio Queen, and Miss Curcmins 83 Ophelia. Thursduy night ** Riche- lieu” will be repested, and Friday night “ Qthello,” with Mr. Booth as lago, and Mr. Warde as_ Othello. _Saturday afternoon ‘‘The Lady of Lyons " will be brought forward, and Saturday night ** A Now Way to Pay Old Debts.” This last performance will be one of the chief events of the season, Mr. Booth is justly famous for his impersonation of Sir Gules Oterreach, and this rare play of Massinger's hasbeen given by hum but once in Chicago. il ly affected not more A telegram from Milwaukes stotes that $wo or three | U8 Were probabl A by the conting. of the cargoes losded into vessels at that port at the | f foscia e thy ‘gzfi‘fu‘g:’f;g o the decing begluning of winter are being unloaded back into | tho diference between the Drices paid w"“‘“’“‘hm store becanse they cannot be sold aflost, at 1c less than | ducer and by the consumer, that latiar wiating g the cost of loading at present prices.

Tho objections to Mr. Booth’s new study of *‘Lear” extond farther than to the acting of his own part. He has revised the playand intro- duced new business, sod his work in this respect deserves tho severest condemnstion. ‘The mutilated version of the play which he calia ¢ Lear " is not * Lear " at all. ' "Tis something, nothing; ‘'twas ours, ‘tis lus.’ Persons pot fawiliar with the play in the original would £o away from Mr. Booth's performance with an ndistinct idea of what it was all about. Gloster 18 made & mere skeich. Nobody can tell bow his eyes came to be ont, or whether he becomes reconcued to his son. The pecnliar and strong character of Edmund is partislly suppressed ; . Gomerit and Regan take an early leave of the scene ; Edgar appears in the lists to challenge Edmund without aoy previous arrangement to do 8o ; the cuaracters of Cornwall and Albany aré not eherply diecriminated. In short, the play bas been transformed into a one-part piece, and must dis of the ampatation which it has guffered. The business which Mr. Booth bas invented is scarcely leéss objectionable. An oda conceit of his appeara o be that Regan was less cruel than Goneril, and he bas accordingly instructed her to wear an _amiable aspsct. She does not command him to dismies half aw train and return to her sister, but holds forth her When she and her eister meet at the Duke of Gloster's castls, they do not show union and sympathy in cruelty. ‘When Goneril enters and Ecgan advances to - meet her, Mr. Booth's Lear interposes and keape them apart, saying, ** O, Kegan, wilt thou take The plain meaning of the text ig that feganhas already taken Goneril by the - bhand, and is in fall communion with her. 50 also throughout the scene, according to Shakspeare, the two sisters combine against the father. The - only- effect of Mr. Booth's mterpretation is to dissipate the cumnuistive cruelty of the dangh- - ters to whom he had given the Kingdom, and by contrast to belittle the misery of Lear, which is the very essenco of the play. 1t Regan had not been as pitiless 23 Goneril, there would hisve ‘been no occasion for Lear to wander abroad in the terrible storm.

Since the last dramatio review was writtan Mr. Booth has appeared in **The Stranger,” * Katn- The Apostate,” **Lear,” * The - Stranger” was marred by & provoking accident. Inthe last scene, after the gentleman in black bad declared that there was *‘another and s botter world,” Miss Carroll as Mrs. Haller con- siderntely fell on one of the children, and + changed the sympatbetic grief to uproarious mirth. The same lady, when Mr. Barry Sullivan was hére, spoiled the performance of * The Gamester ” by allowing her dress to become un- pinned and fall flat to the stage during the dying £cene. The play bad been carefully wronght up to this climax ; but, a8 nobody bad looked for a Mrs.- Beverly in petticoats, the work of the evening went for mnothing. Dauying the epgagement - of the Florences, Miss partiog with her back bair, to the dismay of the nnsophisticated male spectators, and to the confusion of ali the performers in *The Mighty Dollar.” Any one - of these proofs of ‘carolessness and slovenliness might be overlooked ; but their combined weight 18 80 great 28 o deserve public nbtice and repro- erive and Petruchio, *¢The Lady of Lyons,” and ** Richelion.” * Carroll sgain went to pieces, Lation. Tha rendering of *The Apostata™ weok was perkaps the finest thing that has ey done doring the present engsgement of Mr. Booth. 3iss Cummuns certamiy did her best work in this conpection. Her Florinda was every way creditable, affording that oppoitunity for the exercite of dramatio fire and force - which was wanting in Desdemona and Julie. Mr. Waide, ‘as liemayd, was abominablo, aud Mr. Booth's Fescara was, of course, strong and incisive in every respect. This play has been coudemned for its bombast by many critics, but ‘we think it is full of vitality, and entitely worthy of the place which it ocouptes in the repertory of Mr. th.. The ormance of ‘The Lady of Lrons™ was chiefly noticeable for the large assemblage that collected to witness it. Friday night, when *‘ Richelien” was produced, the thealrs was crowded in every part with the Iargest and most brilliant company of the ses- sou. There is nothing to add to the notico of tho play which appearzd in Tur TRIBCNE yester- day. except what may be necessary to do justica to Mr. D. Loane, who acted Louis XIII most vilely. He ought to hava been hissed from the slage, and if he appears sgain io, the part this week wa bope 8omse_ public-spirited citizens will biss him ronndly. - -He was a burden and a clog throughount the lsst two scts.

The stock of lumber slone is over 12,500,000 ft. larger than 1t was on April 1, 1875, This exceas ia amaller than most dealers had calculated on, and probably consists mostly of the upper grades in- atead of common, ‘The water receipts during April Bavo been much larger than in former seasons, but trade hos improved, and 1t is doubtful if the supply has increased materialiy, In this connection it is noted that the number of yards has been reduced from 110 st the beginziag of the year to 103 on April1, and & farther reduction in the number is probable.
