M’VICKER’S. Fow women havo satisfled critica! tasto in tho role of Jul(et, for fow women possess tho youth, tho sensibility, the passfon, and tho poetic glow necossary to a full realization of Shakepeare's impulsive Italfan girl While Miss Ada Cavon- dish docs not present complotely tha unhappy daughter of tho Capulets, cortainly sho gives a representation well worth uttention. Her Juliet is actual, not ideal, It is thn Jullet of maturity; tho churacter sho portrays might havo been tho elder slster of Shak- spearo’s heroine. The audience received Miss Cavondish warily, for she is very good to look at. Her reading of blank verso was clear, ox- cept once or twicein tho moro paasionntorcones, her phraaing was goncrally intolligont, and hor manner at all times apt and often original; but fn the opening scenes of tho play sho wus dofl- cfent in that delicate tondorness, that shrinking modosty, that coyness, archnoss, and girlish simplicity which churadtorizo tho best interpro- tatfona of the part. In tha balcony scone hor volco Ia almost too meilow and mature to realize the lovo-Inspirod maldon who thero con- fesscs the warmth of her affection. Tho oponing solitoquy wus well rendcred; tho Intorviow with Romeo was full of flro and meaning It was not tho besltating confession of a girl, but fn notion, gosture, and dellvery It waa tho passionate dectaration of a woman com- pletoly carricd away by un absorbing love, The entire dialog was pitched {n too high a key, the asides to tho nurse wore ineffoctiyo, and thore ‘a8 too much bouncing, and romping, and kiss- throwing at the end of the scene. There wus spontaneity, yivaclty,and fooling In her Julfet as she cajoled tho old nurse into tho dollvory of her nows, but {¢ was {n tho jater scones, where force ty culted for, that Miss Cavehdish appeared at hor best. In tho Fyiar’s cell, In tho bed-cham- bor soeno with Romeo ho exhibited a power scarcely evor found In a woman who is equal to tho earfler phasos of the chnractor, In the s0- Mloquy of tho fourth net, whon the contents of tho pial are dralned amidut the shuddering un- Ucipations of the horrora of tho charnol-hause, Bilas Cavendish, in hes portray of the exolto- Mont of frenzy’ and the dosolation of dospatr, played with tragio intensity, well modulated, and rondered her itaes with vlucuttonnry offoct, And tho svono at the tomb wae joaratully acted.
