Everything that was done was governed by evident intelligence; the gestures, if not always graceful and forcible, were generally appropriate and had some meaning. In the reading of the lines, the ear was very seldom shocked by that false emphasis which is the bane of our stage-that ignoring of substantives and verbs, and throwing the main stress of the voice upon the minor parts of speech, Upon...
