Henry the eighth. The Burly Monarch and Hli court again presented to Winnipeg goers. A second presentation of Henry the eighth was Given at the Princess last night by Frederick Warde and his support. The play lacks much of the intense dramatic action those of Shakespeare s works which Are the Standard Dramis of the legitimate stage. In Richard Iii the Story sweeps along through conspiracy and murder to the consummation of ambition and then Onward to the Fata Bow orb Field in Othello everything con verges to the culminating tragedy on which the curtain drops in Macbeth there is the temptation the crime the Remote the retribution. These and others of Shakespeare s plays whether comedies or tragedies an entitles climaxing into a dramatic finish Bat ibis difficult in say exactly what is the Story that Henry Viii is supposed to Tell. Undoubtedly the dramatist Felt impelled to a discreet since his Sovereign was a daughter of the King who figures in his Plav Handso the latter the blackest hearted scoundrel that Rulec from an English throne moves through the play a half decent fellow. This falsity spoils the intensity of the drama which is merely a succession of scenes illustrating Inci in the reign of Henry the eighth. Consequently in its presentation much 18 de Mandela of the artists and the pronounce a Success that and his company have twice achieved in it testifies strongly to their excellence. There Are Noble speeches in the play Buckingham s Good Bye to the world Wolsey s whole bearing in Tho hour of his adversity and Queen Katharine s defence before the divorce court in particular Are magnificent samples o shakespearian eloquence and they were worthily rendered last night. Of course Thi Central figure on the stage was Wolsey Anc or. Waroe s rendition of the character is a contribution to shakespearian dramatic Hie tory. Presented by a company Strong in Talent and in Numo Erp costumed with Ais Tori col accuracy Henry the eighth last even ing was a Dearn a which deeply interested Anc instructed All who saw it. The play to night. Virgini Ufa that tale made Beautiful by years of pure old roman was origin ally produced at covent Garden theatre London by or. Macready. About 1820, under whose direction As Tho author James Sheri Dan Knowles acknowledges in his preface to the work it was written. It made an instantaneous Success and added largely to the reputation of both author and motor. It was shortly afterwards produced in the Unitas states by Thomas Abthorpe Cooper a famous tragedian of that time and at once became 6 favorite with the people its simple Sbory True pathos and Sterling manhood appealing directly to the beat instincts of human nature. Or. Cooper s successor in the role was Edwin endowed it with All the rugged virility Anc Power of his marvellous personality. Or John Mcc Nuoci who played Icilus to or. Forrest s Vire Siniue succeeded him in this part and now Frederick Warde who supported or. Mcgull ooh As Cilius stands alone As the Only living representative of the grand old roman Centurion bringing to the part All the Sterling qualities of Bis acting and nature imbuing in with it tender Pittos a rugged dignity and a Noble simplicity thai appeals directly to the hearts and minds of his hearers. It will be produced for the Only time Dor ing this engagement and for the first time before a Winnipeg audience at the Princess theatre this evening and if True Merit is an criterion of Success in Winnipeg there should not de a vacant seat in the House.

Having seen the ground the aldermen and the committee of the exhibition association will be Able with the Aid of the plans drawn by the City Surveyor to decide As to the location of the buildings the Entrance the Street improvements required to perfect the Means of Access for carriages arid pedestrians. Excepting the aldermen and a few other wealthy Citi finn who can afford Hacks and private carriages the mass of the citizens will require some cheap Means of conveyance in order to reach the exhibition grounds. Dur ing the few Days of the annual exhibitions 0. P. R. Trains will of course convey the multitudes but if the grounds Are to be made a place of Public resort during the rest of the Sana inert he question of Obeno transportation at All hours will be raised.
