G, Donnelly has turned for his humor to those ever inexhaustible mines—booze and poker. Nearly all the alleged fun in this parody revolves around the man or wo- man inebriated of the card table. Don- nelly tn such a bright, breesy fellow, and 50 pormeated with originality that every time he mentions the words king or queen—they occur in connection with King Claudius and Queen Gertrude—his exquisitely juvenescent fancy conjures up ‘sand flushes and all that sort of thing. In fact, to appreciate this re- fined and century-end humorist you mustelther be a toper or a card-sharper. It ts necessary to educate yourself down to “Hamlet II." You must learn to yell with laughter when you hear Hamlet sing something about having “a load on;” you must teach yourself to twitter mirthfully at the spectacle of Queen Gertrude intoxicated. For this is what, I presume, {s called vigorous fun, strong laughing meat for those whose risible digestions are in a sluggish condition. For the life of me, though, I can't see why booze supplies such a fund of wit on the stage, and surely there must be @ few people in the audience who don’t understand the technicalities of poker. Plenty of women never play cards, and th are giris who don't know what having “a load on" means, To these People such humoro-vulgarists as Don- nelly certainly cannot cater. Yet such People goto the Herald Square Theatre in large numbers, It therefore seems to mé that thelr sense of refinement should not be affronted. Let us relegate the booze Joke and the poker quip to the dives of the Bowery, to the concert hall of the slums, to the sawdust 8: selated palace of the sailor's quarter.

Invited to visit the art gallery on the left of the auditorium.” Mr, Donnelly hes carefully studiei the slang of the day and turned it on in full force. Who can resist such irides- cent merriment as that which glimmers through the expression, “lis Jixsteps?’ That's what Hamlet calla King Clau- dius, and It fs meant to be most exhila- rating. There 1s no harm in slang, but there is the slang of the parlor and also the slang of the gin-mill, and I regra to say that it is the latter re- sort that Mr. Donnelly ransacks for his @pectme! Sull, there are some unobjectionable moments in “Hamlet 11." There ai times when the humor seeme to be less boisterous, and when kinder appeals are made to the bump of fun. There are, however, plays more susceptible of bur- lesque than “Hamlet.” The story of the melancholy Dane ts euch a classic that people resents ita being tampered with pust as they would a burlesque of the Bible.
