The Play as an Acting Drama. The dramatic honors of “The Taming »f the Shrew” as an acting play belong to America. The play Is scarcely known to the English stage at all. What Is known, instead, is a farcical version of it, in in three acts, complled by Garrick the middle of the last century (17 as “Katharine and Petruchio though he loved Shakespeare won many of his greatest honors n re- suscitating Shakespearean plays and im- personating Shakespearean characters saw In “The Taming of the Shrew” .iof the spirit of comedy which Shakespeare intended, but the spirit of farce.

APOSTOLIC DELEGATE ON HIS WAY TO MANILA | s NP K 3 N ORI ERONERN| Archbishop Chapelle. [ } ONSIGNOR CHAPELLE, Archbishop of New Orleans and apostolic M delegate to the Philippines, arrived in the city yesterday morning and is now at the Palace, where he will remain until Tuesday next, when he leaves on the Sherman for Manila. Accompanying the Archbishop i{s Rev. Father T. Stenmans of Holland, who goes to Luzon in the capacity of secretary to the distinguished prelate. Father McKinnon will be the third member of the party, but will not have any official connection with the Archbishop, as has been commonly supposed. He will go merely as an army chaplain, but his knowledge of the Philippines and of the conditions obtaining there will be of infinite value to the Arch- bishop, who will avail himself in a large measure of the counsels of the ex- chaplain cf the First California Regiment. The mission of Monsignor Chapelle is similar to that which carried him to Cuba and Porto Rico at the conclusion of the War with Spain. Previous to that difficulty there existed a unifon of church and state in all the Spanish colonies, which has been dissolved in such as have come under the sway of the United States. This change has been productive of all sorts of entangle- ments, which tbe Archbishop will endeavor to straighten out as far as lies in his power. Though a Frenchman by birth, Archbishop Chapelle is in every other sense a thoroughgoing American. His work In Cuba and Porto Rico speaks for itself, and has resulted in his carrying with him on his present mission the confidence of every well-informed American, irrespective of creed. He will use his influence to promote the general welfare of all classes in the islands, and his constant aim will be to do his best to forward the policy of both church and country. Upon arriving here yesterday morning Archbishop Chapelle was met by Father McKinnon and Vicar General Prendergast and taken to the Cathe- dral, where he celebrated mass. At the conclusion of his religious duties he was entertained at luncheon at the residence of the Vicar General and then driven to the Palace Hotel, where rooms had been reserved for him. Though it was not the wish of the distinguished visitor to be interviewed, he consented to receive a representative of The Call. He is a man of great personal magnetism and with a fund of ready humor that sparkles through all his conversation and causes one to leave his presence envious of those who will have the pleasure of becoming his traveling companions on the long voyage across the Pacific. d bread seem | of food. olic priests are back of much | ncement of the people; they | ha only been looking after their | B after their bodies as well.

Garrick is not to be wholly blamed for not attractive efther to players or to spec- tators, at deast to the players and the spectators of to-day; and the character of Petruchio is less so. Nor s characters, though for the most part they are well delineated, sufficiently important in the dramatic action of the play to he interesting either. It was the late Mr. Aug! stin Daly who resuscitated Shakespeare's play of ‘The Taming of the Shrew” and gave it a distinction and honor it never knew be- fore—in fact the only real distinction and honor it ever knew. This he did In 19¢7, He presented “The Taming of the Shrew’* almost as Shakespeare wrote it, includ- ing even the “Induction,” only that he | shortened the play somewhat and amal- | gamated some of the scenes in which P ruchio and Katharina appeared together in order to make them more effective. | In addition, he magnificently staged the play; for example, making the banquet scene at the end an affair of almost rezal | splendor. Futhermore, he gave to it a | capital cast. Ada Reban was the Katha- rina, John Drew the Petruchio and Wil- | llam Gilbert the Christopher Sly. As a result the glamour of a great name, of a | Shakespearean revival In short, together with intrinsic merit in every department of the production itself, won for his effort the brilllant honor of both an esthetic and a pecuniary success, Of Ada Rehan's Katharina in this re- vival there is but one opinion. It was in | every way a complete realization of Shakespeare’s conception. It at once took its place in the glorious company of the world’s ideal Shakespearean heroines, along with Adelaide Nellson's Juliet, i len Terry's Ophella and Helen Fau Rosalind. It is doubtful, however, if ever there will be another manager to try throws with fortune in “The Taming of the Shrew” as Mr. Daly did, and (herefore still more doubtful if ever there w'll be another Katharina equal to Miss Rehan's Katharina. In England there have been two at- tempts to reproduce Shakespeare's “Tam- ing of the Shrew.” One of these was in 1846-47, when under the direction of the dramatic critic and author, J R. Plan- che, the play was brought out as nearly as possible like what it would have been in Shakespeare's time. There was no stage scenery and the changes of scene in the play were indicated by the hang- ing up of placards, the placards naving the names of the scenes written upon them. In this reproduction Mrs Nisb (then Lady Booth) was the Katharina, and with her beauty, her vivacity and her exhilarating humor a very effective Katn- arina she was. It is sald that her eyes were as bewitching and her laugh as mirth-provoking at Mrs. Jordan's. The other English production of “The Taming of the Shrew” was that made by that conscientious laborer in the Shakes- perean vineyard, Samuel Phelps of Sad- ler's Wells. In 1856 Mr. Phelps presefited the play in its original form as one of his series (the twenty-ninth in the series, we belleve) of great Shakespearean re- But, unlike Planche, Mr. Phelps produced the play as Mr. Daly afterward did in New York, with a liberal equip- ment of scenery and appropriate cosz- tumes. The remarkable feature in this re- production was the part taken in it by the great Shakespearean actor and scholar himself. Instead of taking the part of Petruchio, which would natural ly have been his, for he had frequently played it in Garrick's “Katharine and Petruchio,”” he took the much humbler part of Christopher Sly, and this simply for the purpose of presenting to his pa‘- rons what he conceived to be the true Shakespearean conception of this very amusing but minor part. The admirers of Shakespeare owe a great debt of grat- ftude to Samuel Phelps. he did more toward extending a true knowledge ¢f Shakespeare throughout the play-going world than any other human being. Adaptations of “The Shrew" have been s very popular in Germany from the seven- this. The play as a comedy is perhap the least interesting that Shakespeare wrote.
