Goderich oan'show its loyalty when it likes and Manager Videan was truly grateful on Monday evening to find his effrrts app- reciated, by so many loyally showing their appreciation for them. "Othello" la a finu play showing as Shakespeare well knew the terrible madness of jealous which was finely portrayed in Othello's fine acting. Rodrigo was as funny as ever, eyen in the role of being wounded even unto death. The act- ing of ('asaio was fine. Too much praise cannot be given Desdemona for her sup- erb acting in Othello as well as in The Merchant of Venice, in both plays she portrays innocence, truth and undying love. Amelias acting as lady in wait- ing to Desdemona was admirably exe- cuted, so much so that she came in for quite a little evation twine in her part on Monday evening in which she provi• ded her loyalty to Desdemona. Othel- lo, the Moor, was well made up with bis dark face, rolling eye and handsome Moorish costume, and Cassios illustra- tingof the baneful charm of the wine cup was very perfect. We think Man- ager Shipman might now turn to Europe for his Company and costumes are suffi- ciently grand for any country. Mies Mitchell, pianists made her debut at Victoria Opera Rouse on Monday even- ing ang played some beautiful selections between the acts.
