Show lEobsi's 'llamtct." London, 20. The I'osl and Standard Stand-ard criticise riignor Rossi's interpretation interpre-tation of the character of "Hamlet" unfavorably. The lost concludes, however, that Lhe general verdict was eminently favorable. The Standard says those who exnected much from Rossi's "Hamlet" must make up their minds to be disappointed. We shall look with much anxiety for his appearance in one of those melodramatic melo-dramatic characters in which the report says he is seen to the greatest advantage. The Tdtyrapk says lhe eflect produced will probably be out of harmony with the English Utste, out a uirtner uiscusiuu of this question for the present must be postponed. It ia euilicient now to record the generous reception extended to Siguor Rossi and lhe frequent fre-quent applause which greeted him. He was called before the curtain at the conclusion of each act. He wss aulTeriug severely from hoarsenesa, the result of a cola and consequent general gen-eral indisposition, and was therefore seen to disadvantage. The drift of ad verse criticism iB that Rossi 'a "Hamlet" is too violent and melodramatic, melo-dramatic, lacking dignity and repose. Other journals reserve their comments. |
