IRVING'S Incomparable Representation of "HAMLET" "HAMLET" And MISS DOROTHEA BAIRD AS OPHELIA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NEXT First Production in Wellington of The Great Historical Drama, LOUIS XI LOUIS XI LOUIS XI, ME. H. B. IRVING. Mario de Comines, Miss Dorothea Baird. Louis XI, King of France, has been a favourite character with novelists and dramatists. Walter Scott has immortalised him in "Quentin Durward" and Victor Hugo _in "Notre Damo de Paris." Cruel, cunning, and unscrupulous, Louis XI, by his genius as a monarch, succeeded in uniting l'ranoe under his rule. At his accession he found himself confronted with a number of turbulent ragsals, at the head of whom was Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. By hit statecraft Louis succeeded in destroying tho power of those vassal Lords, and tne defeat and death of Charles the Bold of Burgundy play a prominent part in the drama. In the last years of his life Louis became a prey to the terror of death, nnd it is in tho cruelty and suspicion of his last years that the dramatist has chosnn to portray him. His cruelty wan shown by the life-long imprisonment of an unfaithful Minister in an iron cage, _ his superstition by tho image of the Saints, which ho carried in his cap, and whose forgiveness for tho crimes he ( had committed ho was in tho habit of invoking. Louis XI was contemporary with Henry VI, Edward IV, and Richard 111 in England, and he figures as a character in the Third Part of Shakespeare's "King Henry VI."
