The orchestrations were particularly pleasing, a peculiar fact in as much as there was so little music from the stage. The Slipper will be put on a couple of times today, before the tawdry scenery is packed again. 5 ,$ (5 RICHARD III. Charles B. Hanford as' Richard III. The saints defend us! No one who has seen this huge thespian in lighter roles ever suspected him of having the talent tal-ent to run the gamut of the great tragedies. If there ever was such a suspicion, it was assuredly ignominiously obliterated by Mr. Hanford's parlance par-lance with the soulless Richard. Mr. Hanford is advertised as a man who always al-ways clings to his ideals. That may be, but he certainly makes a wreck of ours. Mr. Hanford's admirers say that he does not rant. At best, that is but a negative virtue in an actor. The injection of a little ranting would have been vastly! more soothing to the nerves than the mediocrity of a succession of flat notes when tumultuous Richard "vas supposed to be in his fieriest mood. Anyone who heard Mr. Hanford proffer his wide domains for a horse wouldn't have given him a burro to save his kingly life. Mr. Hanford must have been joking with himself him-self when he instituted a crusade on the Elizabethan Eliza-bethan masterpieces. It is hard to believe that he took himself seriously in the farcical venture. Miss Drofnah Is equally saddening as the widow queen and her tendency In the emotional roles to flatten out the vowels plays a disheartening tatoo on the nerves of the audience. In "The Taming of the Shrew" both are seen to much better advantage, and the performance of Wednesday night was a very exhil 'rating tonic after the gloom of the two preceding evenings.
