A DRAMATIC CRITIC did not always have the deepest penetra- tive power. Otherwise, it may be said, with sober scruple for the exact truth, that Mr. Warren was nearly faultless. His acting seemed the fine flower of care- ful culture, as well as the free outcome of large intelligence and native genius. His enunciation and pronunciation of English were beyond criticism.
