HE production of “The Adventures « ell ywnne'' and the reap- pearance of Florence Roberts perved to crowd the Alcazar Theater to the doors last evening. The play was a distinct triumph | for the clever actress who assumed the | leading role, and some opportunities were given to the members of the company to present carefully studied characters. The name of the adapter of the inci- dents in the life of Nell Gwynne was npt given in the programme, but it is learned that Miss Charlotte Thompson is the au- thor, Miss Thompson has delved into Engiish ¢ and, while her play is rot a great one, it shows many incidents during the time that England was under the sway of the “Merry Monarch.” The first act introduces Nell Gwynne as the poor orange girl of “Old Drury,” who is beloved by Jack Churchill, the dashing | goldier who_founded the house of borough 1 love i which vital to a play of th evening, was cut “Nell Gwynne" wn hearted Irish girl, willing to help friends, but the character as Miss Thompson is not the whom Charles the Seeond idolized banter of the court and the stage is well bortrayed, but the scene in which Nell Swynne “holds up’’ the royal coach in or- der to give Churchill a chance to distin- uish himself is weak and trivial. The | five acts simply display the transition of the poor orange girl to the prominent actress and court favorite and the play ends with the eulogium on Nell's good qualities pronounced by the King. Miss Roberts was a merry, dashing and good-hearted Nell and her scenes which she dons male attire, were arti ally played. The great charm of Miss Roberts is that she never overacts. How- ard Scott did not have as great oppor- tunity as Charles, but enacted the role with finesse. Lucius Henderson made a manly Churchill and Clarence Montaine, Carlyle Moore, George Webster and Frank Bacon were distinguished in_the male members of the cast. Miss Kitty Belmere had but little to do as Mistress Hughes, an, actress, but did that little wPl?

Daly complained to the Koncs jast Saturday that three strangers ad lassoed and robbed him of $17. Since then he has labored under the hailucina- tion that the men are following him to kill him.

HOME STUDY CIRCLE FOR CALL READERS The Old Globe Theater in Which Were First Produced a Number of Shakespeare’s Plays. Copyright, 1901 , by Seymour Eaton. (Concluded.) The Globe. The most famous of all the pisyhouses with which Shakespeare was connected | was the Globe on the Bankside. It was bulit in 1598 by Richard and Cuthbert Bur- bage, s of old James, and themselves actors and theater-owners. Their lease of the ground on which the theater was built expired in 1567, and, though allowed to continue playing there, they became in- volved in a lawsult with its owner. The city authorities, too, were pressing hard upon them, and finally they took a des- perate step, tore down the theater, trans- ported its materials across the Thames, and there in an open space amid a grove of trees they comstructed the playhouse that was to remain forever associated with Shakespeare’s name. It stood upon a circular substructure of brick or stone, through which two doors opened, one to the yard where the common herd went at a penny aplece to see and judge their penny’s worth, and the other to the tir- ing room of the actors, through which not only they but the noble patrons of the drama, the poets and their friends ob- tained admission to the stage itself. The stage, a rectanguiar wooden struc- ture, supported on strong posts, projected well forward into the circular yard, so that the actors e seen, not from the front only as to-day, but from every side. ehind the stage and a little above it was a recess, or alcove, wnich could be shut off with a curtain, and which served at need as a second Stage, a study, a bed- room or a tent. Here the couch of Des demona_or of Juliet was placed, here t actors in “Hamlet” performed the pl which brought his guiit home to Claudi and here on occasion a King's throns would be placed while his vassais grouped about him on the stens below. Over the alcove projected a balcony, which in iis turn played many parts—Juliet's window the wall of a besieged city or the deck a storm-tossed ship. The stage itself wa v roofed over-with a structure tech ¥ known as the heavens, which was draped with blue hangings for comedy. with black when tragedy was to be per- formed. The vard was open to the sKy and it speaks volumes for the rapt int est of the Eilzabethans in the drama tt they were content to stand here in hur dreds for hours at a time, exposed to ail the incleme: of London winter. Around the yard ran to which that part of disliked equally the nbise and i]usmng of the yard and the expense and publicity of the stage withdrew. These gai- leries were covered with a roof of thatch— a circumstance which in the end proved | the destruction of the Globe. Upon the roof was a little hut from which a heraid emerged to proclaim by taree blasts of a trumpet that {fe play was about to begin ver agstaff, from which on play nner with the sign 1 of the theater, Hercules bearing the globe. The performances began early in the af- ternoon, at 3 o'clock, or even earlier, and Jasted some two or three hours. It > timated t the Giobe might contain when packed to the uttermost some two thousand spectators. Tn this theater Shakespeare's greatest plays first produced. We know that Lear, ythello,” and “M; th,” “Troi- lus and Cressida,” “Pericles” and “The Winter's Tale” were brought out at the Globe, and it is a fair inference that his most charming comedy, ‘“As You Like It.” | and his greatest tragedy, ‘‘Hamlet,” with the three Roman plays, may also be in- | cluded in this list. All these were written in that astonishing decade of Shake- speare’s life from 1600 to 1610, when hi company made the Globe their usual play ing house. After that date they performed alternately at Blackfriars and at the Globe until the destruction of the latter by fire in 1613.

It seems fitting to close this study with a brief note on the audiences befors which Shakespeare's plays wers per- formed. Nearly every writer on the El abethan drama has spoken of the nolsy mob that filled the yard, eating, drinking, shouting for the clown, at times even pelting the actors with apple cores and other more offensive missiles. Certainly the mob seems a disturbing element, and hardly less 80 the fashionable gentlemen séated on the stage its o smoked long pipes, spread out their to dazzle the public, chatted with the actors between their parts and set themselves up for critics who could make or break an author, jotting v the best lines of his play in their books, growling “vile” and “flithy passages which displeased them, or even leaving the stage in the midst.of the per- formance to mark the utterness of their disgust. Yet with all its faults % bethan audience was an instru for the dramatist to piay upon, such as had not_existed & 1l Athens gathered to- gether to watech a solemn trilogy of Aeschylus or a boisterous farce of Aris- tophanes. It was extraordinarily sensi- tive, receptive, responsive. All classes, from the outcasts of the street to the peers about the throne, met there togeth- er in pursuit of a common pleasure. No gulf in matt appreciation existed then, s as now sends one audl- ence to the gra « a and another to the vaudeville, espeare had the na- tion at hi: 1 in Shakespeare's day, in spi of t h of Puritanism, ie nation was s Merry England. The people loved thelr 1d sports and games, the mumming and the morris_dance, the swordplay and wrest- ling. They were not cruel, but they de- lighted in flerce action and the flow of blood as seen in the baiting of bulls and bears. They were full to the brim of that spirit of adventurs which found expres- sion In the battles, voyages and explora- tions ‘of R h, Drake and Frobisher; and they had an'almost barbaric passfon for splendid spectacles, gorgeous raiment and costly jewels.
