...evening at its second presentation of Julius Cxsar. The play passed off more smoothly and the actors were much more at home in their parts than on Monday evening. Indeed, the self-possession of all was one of the most striking merits of the performance. Perhaps the most noticeable fault was the indistinct enunciation of some of the characters who, in their endeavors to disguise their natural voices, lost distinctness at times in their delivery.
