ing one, incomparably superior, to many
"stars" that have long been shining j in the
dramatic flrmanent; and upon whom -have
been showered the' most fulsome and indis-t
criminate laudation." Miss Anderson is too
inlenectualaWoMy endowed to relish
praise that is unmeaning, and that l is not
sustained by cultivated Judgment i ''"''''
There were some scenes last night when
she approached a very high art Her in
terview, with her lover, every way so un
worthy of her: deep; affection,': was quite
masterly both in conception and execution.
But her greatest trmmph was in that tear
ful scene when she gave utterance to ; .her
surprise, her utter amazement and horror
when she discovered the King's picture in
stead of ber lover's.' We had here a splendid
manifestation of her remarkable! gifts-a
scene full of , - genatne-
aad poetry;
She was called three times before the . cur
tain -during the -play and at its conclusion, ,
r We &6 not admire the playj--It ii full of
bombast and is a weak imitation of Shakes
peare, -particularly of 'Macbeth. Miss An
derson; it must be admitted, did k great
deal with it It is not the play' to evoke
her finest 'points and to ' test her, highest
capabilities. V "; ''V' r'-." I -She
was better supported than We were
led to expect. Mr. Norton play ed yolonna
with decided spirit. The Villain was ren
dered with ; considerable effect and judg
ment : The play was much enjoyed by
the .; audience . : and i frequent applause
interrupted the performance. By some
strange oversight there were no programmes,
v To-night Ingomar,"la much more artistic
and attractive play, we understand,' will be
presented, when Miss Anderson will appear
as rOJfowhlchis said to be one of her
most exquisite personations. ' ' ' :0!'
