...Mr. Booth's impersonation of the part is an excellent example of his power of identifying himself with the character he represents. In each look, gesture, and motion we see only Shylock; the personality of the actor is completely hidden in that of the Jew.

With characteristic calmness and decision he brings against Harvard two serious charges, the more serious because coming from one who at home and abroad has done high honor to his Alma Mater, and whose public utterances, in this latitude at least, are never heard but with attention...
