Don Carlos Opens at Colonial Theatre in Boston
Richard Mansfield stars in an English version of Schiller's Don Carlos at the Colonial Theatre with a large cast including Fuller Mellish and Margaret Kilroy. The reviewer notes length and stage-time issues, praising Mansfield's growth into the title role and Miss Rockwell's Queen, while calling overall dialogue and pacing heavy and urging shorter scene shifts. Tonight The Misanthrope with Mansfield at Hollis Street follows Merely Mary Ann at the Hollis Street theatre, with Robson leading a strong supporting cast.
