Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Notable "Hamlets" Of the Present Time
The American temperament was shown with some brilliancy and effect by Edwin Booth. It was a clever actor's Hamlet.
Three Hamlets brought out with superb effect the French temperament. These were Mounet Sully, Charles Fechter, and Sarah Bernhardt. Of these three I give the palm to Charles Fechter, who, as a Frenchman, acted in English, with Sarah Bernhardt bracketed almost equal. It were difficult to bracket the two in merit.
The majority of English Hamlets, Irving and Forbes Robertson excepted.
