Their playing was lacking in spirit, and at times horribly uncertain in intonation. They should not, however, be severely blamed, as the rehearsals for Mr. de Koven’s Don Quixote” have been frequent, long and fatiguing. Miss Bartlett Davis was very satisfactory as Vladimir; she sang well, acted well and dressed the part to perfection, and was wonderfully pretty in her full dress hussar’s uniform in the last act. Although the role of the Princess is not a particularly grateful one, it gained new interest under Miss Cordon’s treatment, and this charming young artist added another distinct success to those already won in Boston.Messrs. Barnabee and Frothingham are indeed two excellent comedians. Mr. Barnabeesings, acts, dances and appears everyway as if he were one of theyoungest men in the company instead of perhaps one of the oldest. Mr. Cowles as the general and Mr. Hoff as thenewspaper correspondent were both very good, although the latter seemed rather (vocally) overwhelmed by the “patter-song” in the first act. winch failure, however, was redeemed by good singing all the rest of the evening. During this engagement a number of minor partshave been taken by Mr. A. E. Nichols, and he inis taken them all very well,showing, indeed, quite remarkable dramatic versatility, accompanied bv a good voice. Among the ladies, Miss Edith McGregor has also distinguished herself by the careful manner in which she has played small nans, and her singing is excellent.
