LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. MR. HERMANN VEZIN AT THE ROYAL, CARDIFF. As :t Shak.-fpearia.ii actor Mr. Hermann Vezin has gajued, aiid still maintains, the reputation of having1 no equal, and his engagement for the week by .Mr. Edwai-d Fletcher, we venture to pfediet, will- :rttraet crowded houses. During his previous visits to Cardiff and other towns in South WalÈ' Mr. Vezin succeeded in making excellent impresrioits, notwithstanding the pain- ful fact that Vfefore the ruthless march of the modern society play and the merry comic opera and burlesque the old standard works are seem- ingly being elbowed into the background. Shakspeare can always draw an intelligent audience, but the language of the plays of the great dramatist is not now easily understa-nded of the people.. and that may .account for the oomplaiiit made by ma.ny prominent actors that Shakspearian tours in the provinces are often financial failures. But Mr. Hermann Vezin and his company could hardly complain of the audience at the Royal on Monday night. The popular parts were comfortably tilled by au appreciative audience, and there .w-as also a satisfactory attendance in the dress a.id upper circles. As "OthenQ" Mr. Hermann Vezin .was as powerful, as fresh, and as vigorous as ever, and the lights and shades of the cha- racter of the jealous Moor were depicted with masterly skill. There was no straining after effect, and the transition of passion from doubt to violent jealsusy was natural and realistic. In fact, the dramatist himself could hardly have coi ceived a more effective reading of the part. Miss in "Desde, mona," was sympathetic, sweet, and lovable, and really splendid in the bedroom scene where the final act of the mournful tragedy is enacted. "Iago" w;i-< played by Mr. William Deveretix, vho had fully grasped the technique of the oharacter. His cool calculating villanv excited the. demonstrative deprecation of the "'god. v hich must be regarded as a higli, compliment to his portrayal. As "Emilia." Miss Laura Jobr-son was Very effective, and in the last scene she shone as a clever actress. The remainder of the caste was in excellent hands. The success which attended the initial performance of the repertoire of the rompauy should ensure iarge audiences during the remainder of the week. MR. LAURENCE IRVING AT THE GRAND THEATRE, CARDIFF. That stirring play Still Waters Run Deep" is the piece which Mr. Laurence Irving selected to play for the first night of his present season at Cardiff, and an exceptionally fine selection it is. Over forty years have elapsed since Tom Taylor's clever drama was produced at the London Adelphi. Since then Still Waters Run Deep has been revived on numerous occa- sions, notably by Mr. Charles Wyndham at the Criterion in 1890, and subsequently by Mr. Laurence Irving. The most remark- able characteristic of the play is its unique freshness—its applicability to com- mercial transactions of the present day. Tom Taylor has deftly worked out a complex plot, in which the machinations of an unprincipled stockbroker form the main theme. As in Grundy's Bunch of Violets," lately presented in Cardiff, the commercial element in the play is paramount. Shares and bills are bandied about with absolute recklessness, bnt throughout there is enough of romancj and of general interest to engage the attention of everybody. Indeed, it would be almost impossible to conceive of an audience so large, so mixed, and yet so rapt as that which filled every nook and cranny of the GrandTheatre on Monday evening.and which was enthusiastic in the extreme. The play is by its very nature to be understanded by the few, and, still, the applause which arose spontaneously from women and children during last evening's performance proved conclusively that Taylor's play has more than ordinary interest, and that it can excite the sympathies of old and young alike in spite of its complexities. "John Mildmay," a Lancashire man, who, although apparently weak and inert, is the soul of commercial and specu- lative ability, is splendidly played by Mr. Laurence Irving. His restrained, quiet, metho- dical, earnest portrayat of the character dis- plays a power that those who have seen Mr. L. Irving's previous delineations in Cardiff could lever have dreamt of. The subdued humour and the simple pathos of the part were most artistically displayed by Mr. Laurence Irvinjr, who has no need to rely, on the prestige of his distinguished parentage, but who pi>f Besses natural talents that would instantly arrest attention and command respect. Miss Alice de Winton makes a delightful Mrs. Mildruay," and an extremely fascinating por- trayal of Mrs. Sternhold is contributed by Mies Van Praugh, a lady whose histrionic powers are well known in Cardiff, anS who has many local admirers. Miss Van Praugh is young, pretty, ana talented, s6 that success should inevitably be hers. "Captain Hawksley" finds an able and powerful exponentin Mr. H. W. Hatchman, and the various other characters are capably represented. "Still Waters Run Deep" will be .repeated this (Tuesday) evening. On Wednesday and Thursday. Silas Ruthvn," the new play by Laurence Irving and Seymour Hicks, will be produced, and Lytton's Lady of Lyons will be the attraction on Friday and Saturday nights. f THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. Oif Monday evening the crowded audiences at the Cardiff Empire had their expectations filled to the utmost in one of the strongest of variety entertainments ever provided by Mr. Oswald Stollt Tie "turn" contributed by George Lashwood claimed the largest share of the plaudits of the house, and that the recognition was deserved no one will deny. Rarely before has the ever popular artiste excelled himself to such 4 degree as on Monday evening. After the rendering of his sailor song" Farewell for ever", had been followed by a demand for an encore which brooked no refusal, Mr. Lashwood came on" again and treated the house to a revival of that old song ct his, "The Tipster," and as a finale gave the bajlad recently written by himself, and only sung fer the second time, depicting the incident of the rescue of the crew of the lifeboat by the Women of Mumbles Head." The last-named song wp,s rendered with aduirable effect, which was added to by special scmeiy portraying the subject of the ballad. Among the other artists who appear with success are the Kalno Trio in a comic sketch the Sisters Leo, vocalists and dancers Rae and Weston, eccentric cyclists Ida Heath, who contributes an exhibition of dancing of very clever and novel character and Woottwell, in some extremely funny songs. which are quite one of the features of a most excellent programme. NEWPORT. An excellent variety entertainment is provided at the Newport Empire this week. The pro- gramme is beaded by that versatile comedian, T. E. Dunville, whose visit to the Uekside town is the fulfilment of a long-standing engagement. As a comedian Mr. Dunville ranks second to Dan Leno, ciid during his tour in South Wales he has addwd further successes to his already long list. On Monday night he kept large audiences in a state of continual laughter, and it seems superfluous to state that he was re-called several times. Phil Herman is a clever Dutch, Irish, and English character-singer and actor. and scored heavily with "His Last Grip." Agnes Hazel sang several taking songs, and quickly became popular with the audience, whilst the Hetherington Sisters provided a very enjoyable turn" of singing and .dancing. Lillie Langtry I is a clever exponent of the terpsichorean art, and Lilian Robina, ballad vocalist; Allis and Juan, comedians, acrobats, singers, and dancers and Joe Edmunds, a black comedian, provided turns" which were much appreciated. SWANSEA.. On Monday evening Mr. Stoll's hall was filled to overflowing by those who had come to give the welcome which is always forthcoming to Peggy Pryde. The vivacious little lady, it goes without saying, sang her songs to a most appre- ciative audience, who were greatly taken with Peggy's new parody on the New Woman. A very lengthy and attractive programe in- cluded items given by George M'Culloch, come- dian Sarina, the grotesque contortionist Lalo, lady cyclist; Mark Sheridan, comedian the two Violets, duettists the Alexander Trio, pantomimists; and Apollo, a strong man. THE PANOPTICON. The chief item on the programme of the Panepticon this week is Millward's Combina- tion in a musical sketch entitled The New Girl." The eccentricities of that latest creation of modern society are aptly depicted by Miss Dollie St. Claire, and she is ably seconded by her maid, Miss Trixey Bell, Miss Daisy Yel- land takes the part of a. strong-minded lady, I who is naturally shocked at the antics of the New Girl," which, however, find high ? favour in the mind of her son, Mr. F. J. Byrne. The songs and dances are pretty and well executed. A couple of popular comedians are Messrs. Ularney and Bland. The patter intro- duced between the songs is of exceptional merit, and evokes roars of laughter from time to time. It is needless to say their songs are up to date and amusing. The two Primroses sing and dance well, and in the latter department several novel features are introduced. Mr. Walter Tilbury is a comedian of the Grossniith order, who scored a distinct success in a clever turn of a varied character. The numerous incidental entertain- ments continue to attract large audiences. His success is all the more remarkable as he claims not to know a note of music and accomplishes all his imitations, which are certainly clever, by ear only.

HYPNOTIC SUBJECTS. PROFESSOR MORRITT TELLS HOW HE DISCOVERED A FRAUD. l'iofe-.sor Monitt se'Jds to the "Star" from the Art Gallery Theatre, Newca^tle-ou-Tyne, a long letter, in which he says he considers the I itii-trovt-isy on the genuineness or otherwise of the hypnotic trances "futile." Referring to his demonstrations, he sayt-: •—"In CardifF. the first town I visited after leaving the Royal Aquarium, I placed a subject in a six days' trance, whom I .had previously operated upon. A selected eoinntittee of townsmen was formed, who watched my subject mo«t rigorously night and day during the whole trance. On the awakening a number of medical tnen were present, and they. without one exception, announced their satisfaction as to the genuine- rcss of the experiment, although they raased some controversy as to whether or not there was some injurious effect to the subject. The result of my experiment at Cardiff created such atten- tion amongst the medical faculty that I was asked to return there for the purpose of hypno- tising a local man, chosen by a solicitor in the ■own. I accepted the challenge, and on my leturr there I held this man under my influence for six days and five nights. This feat, sub- jected as it was to the severest tests, was the most convincing proof that I could potssiWy give." After "an account of demonstrations in other tow nsN Mr. Mbrritt continues :— An erroneous idea, seems to have arisen that hypno- tism is a fiction simply because a person can train himself to certain severe tests whilst in a. conscious stat*-with<-Mifc «xhil*itusg anv penv\r t-ioie .> mptohis or feelimr. I am fully aware that I am liable to have fraudulent subjects present themselves to uie, but I rarely fail to detect such a subject, l>e<-au<te immediately I suspect a person to be feigning the hypnotic sleep I liavt- it in my power to apply such a test as no living person can stand." Mr. Morritt then states that he found out" the man who has been recently parading a South London music-hall with pins projecting from his flesh." He adds At the Royal Aquarium I placed him in the casket.and very soon discovered him to b-3 feigning, and immediately brought him out. Under such circumstances you will not be sur- prised that I treat the challenge published in the Star' with contempt. But what I will do is to undertake to pay JB50 if this self. acknowledged fraudulent subject will go through the sum? ordeal as my genuine hypnotic subject for the space of ten days a,t d nine nights, and under the 1'1I11P conditions."
