Kendal ; and a whole host of admirable melodramatic actors, character actors, and comedians." From the " good seat in the pit, pretty well front," which, like Walt Whitman at that performance of the elder Booth's, I am sometimes fortunate enough to secure upon First Nights, I have had many opportunities for studying the demeanour of the critics in the stalls. Mr. Knight, I have always thought, looks like an incarnation of the judicial spirit upon these occasions. As befits one who combines with... the duties of theatrical contributor to "The Athenaeum" those, more im- portant still, of theatrical historian to " The Dictionary of National Biography," Mr. Knight is pre-eminently a judge. It is not "impressions" that he is there to give us, nor studies of etats-d'dme, nor records of his " soul's adventures among masterpieces," like critics of the temperament of M. Le- maitre and Mr. Walkley, but judgments : wise, well-informed, mascuhne, scholarly, clear, not intolerant (nor yet infallible) judgments.
