SOTHERN AND MARLOWE, 
Combination of Stars in “Hamlet” at the 
Hollis Street Theatre Next Week. 
The great dramatic event of the decade is 
undoubtedly Charles Frohman’s organization 
and presentation of the Sothern-Marlowe 
combination in a Shakesperean repertoire, 
now appearing for the first time in Boston at 
the Hollis Street theatre, where thronged 
houses have ruled. the past two weeks, and 
praise and plaudits are heard upon every 
hand for the incomparable work of the 
co-stars, E, H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe 
and their companion players. Beginning 
Monday, Dec. 12, Shakespezre’s ‘‘ Hamlet” 
will be presented for six nights and Saturday 
matinee. The world’s greatest actors have 
vied with one another for fame in this, the 
greatest tragedy ever written, and Mr. 
Sothern has sought and found place with the 
coterie that is recognized as meeting the 
critical demands of Hamlet, the most com- 
plex character ever given place upon the 
stage. He who interprets Hamlet, as we 
have been truly told, must have ‘the ease 
of a gentleman, the dignity of a prince, sym- 
pathy of features, expression of countenance 
and flexibility of voice,” and all these Mr. 
Sothern has to an extraordinary degree. 
Success as Hamlet he has already received, 
while with Julia Marlowe as Ophelia, a reve- 
lation is surely in store, as she possesses 
every attribute for the portrayal of tie loving, 
beautiful, fair but unfortunate Ophelia, hav- 
ing in herself the charm of beauty, grace, 
magnetism and conception to win the love 
and sympathy ot her audience in this, one of 
Shakespeare’s sweetest and saddest crea- 
tions. . 
A special matinee will be given Wednes- 
day, Dec. 14, and Shakespeare’s comedy, 
“Much Ado About Nothing,” will be pre- 
sented for the benefit principally of out-of- 
town patrons. This, owing to the many 
letters asking Mr Isaac B. Rich, manager 
of the Hollis, for such an opportunity to see 
this most famous of the Master’s comedies. 
It is not the custom of the Sothern-Marlowe 
company to play Wednesday matinees, but 
the requests being so many, upon Mr. Rich’s 
solicitation for his patrons, Mr. Frohman, 
Mr. Sothern and Miss. Marlowe have yielded 
to the demand, and Sothern and Marlowe as 
Benedick and Beatrice will flout; jeer, tilt 
and spar with each other to their heart’s 
content, to ultimately give way to the ‘stream 
of tendency,” in marital love.
