Macbeth: Mr. Forbes Robertson as Macbeth, at the Lyceum Theatre, 1898.Page 439 from The Sketch, Sept. 28, 1898. Furness Image Co

"Though from the very first meeting with the Weird Sisters the poisonous ambition was seen stirring in Macbeth’s mind, Mr. Forbes Robertson showed emphatically that it was the subtle prompting of his wife that brought their schemes to fruition. Macbeth’s remorse after the regicide as he gradually awoke to the full horror of the deed was was graphically portrayed, and when the murder was discovered Mr. Forbes Roberstson very delicately made a point of Macbeth’s indecision and guilty hesitation so as to give just sufficient ground for the suspicions of Malcolm and Donald Bain. In the sleepwalking scene Mrs. Patrick Campbell approached well-nigh perfection, and the last act showed Mr. Forbes Robertson at his best.” Our London Letter, Dundee Courier, Sept.19,1898: 19th C.
