Mantel! and Miss Genevieve Hamper appear In them adds somethin* to their immortality.Appearing Friday night at the Orpheum in “Macbeth Mr. Mantell and Mlsa Hamper especially held their audtence. Both were so skilled In their characters that they were called before the curtain at the end of every scene. Miss Minpcr as Lady Macbeth, perhaps with the famous sleep-luking scene. Both were so thorough and sincere in their parts that the audience forgot twentieth century customs and were carried back three centuries.Tho various witch scenes were among the most convincing of the evening, and it was with ease that one found ones' self bclleveing in superstitious ccremonies.Jaines Neill, Jr., as McDuff, and Harry Sothern, in the character of the intoxicated porter and as one of the three witches, deserve especial mention.The house was fairly well filled,and ivaj» a better representationthan has formerly characterized the attendance of Lincoln theater-goers at Shakespearean presentations. The enthusiasm of the .audience was sustained throughout the entire production, and was, perhaps, the greatest testimonial to Mr. Mantel l’s and Mias Hamper’s work.The company will present “The Merchant, of Venice” at a Saturday matinco and “King Lear In the evening:.The cast:Lear, King of England—Mr. Mantel!.Earl of G1 os ter—Mr. Elwyn Eaton.Earl of Kent—Mr. Gene Berg-mann.uke of Cornwall—Mr. Arthur Fox.Kdmond. a bastard son to Glos-ter—Mr. John Burke.Duke of Albany—-Mr. Reginald Bacon.Curan, a courtier—Mr. Bruce Adams.Duke of Burgundy—Mr. Abraham Ivory.King of France—Mr. George Keane .Edgar, son of Gloster—Mr. James Neill, jr.A fool—Miss Theresa Larkin.Oswald, steward to Goncril—Mr. Harry Sothern.An old man, Gloster'a tenant—Mr. Charles Warfield.Herald—Mr. Roger B.
