THE BUILDERS STRIKE- CHINESE RIOTING IN SHANGHAI

The whole community were disturbed towards the end of yesterday by rumours of a startling character nuent the uprising of a large body of discontented Chinese.

The Romeo of last night is a mere follower of the tradit inmal'old school of acting, a style which the intelligent critics of modern day's ridicule and laugh at. Those who have witnessed with feelings of pleasure the decadence of this system of so-

known works, and as iler Bandmann's can-

called dramatic art, which sacrificed sense to sound, intelligent rendering of the text to deep towed monthing, and realant to stereotyped artifi- ciality, can find little to appreciate in the "stagey" creations of Heir Bandman. His Romeo is a shallow trickster, and a blatant ranter. The in-

herent beauties of some of the finest passages 17 were utterly spoiled by the tragedian's penchant for bellowing. It would be a thankless task ful- lowing such a Romeo through the varius stages of the play, so we will not attempt it. but his conception of the character was slogether at fault, whilst the lack of refinement, deliver, and even intelligence in his exccution was sadly conspicuous.

The "sen. sation" of the afternoon was discussed at every dinner table in a most vigorous manner, and with loud colouring and exaggeration. It was represented that over five thousand Chinese had assembled at the back of the Racquet Court and had threatened to burn down the Mixed Court, they march on the Settlements, and work their own "sweet will." Furthermore, it was whispered that the police, who were armel, had a battle with the rioters and had to withdraw, and that the volunteers were to be caled to the front and the settlements placed in a state of siege Stories like these went the rounds of the houses till twelve o'clock, when the reaction set in, for then it was definitely known that the Malno was quicter than usual, that there was not the sign of a disturbance at the Racquet Count, and except the policemen who were on guard there, and a few horsemen who patrolled the streets. things were in a normal state.

of a certain class-however, in the interests of truth we are compelled to express our opinion that he is absolutely the very worst Romeo, for an actor of renown, that ever essayed the part, and we are really surprised, considering that Herr Bandmann cannot help knowing how unfitted he is physically for such a juvenile lover, he can expose himself to ridicule and laughter by burlesqucing one of Shakespere's finest creations. It will be noted we are not at all mealy-mouthed in appraising the dramatic merits of Herr Bandmann. As a matter of fact, this self-asserted "slar tragedian," has such an cxaggerated idea of his own abilities, and status as a Shakesperean actor, that we consider it advisable for his own sake, as well as in the interests of honest criticism, to undeceive him to the fullest possible extent.
