HATKARIEST.
The Iffraitger was performed last night, fbr the
purpose of bringing forward Miss lieraud iu the character
of lam Haller. Of the play there le little to be mid new-
s-days. ' It was in great vogue ones ; and we as remember
whoa the great tragedians of a former ege—the Stddosess,

popularity is Wog s►nee post—it is slow set down se a soap
pound of spurious morality, saawkish seathasat, and the
dullest passible farm. It is seldom brought upon the stage,
sae yet distend= is too often. Of lam some ingenious
parson has devised a sort of compress's*, by we, of getting
ever the objectionable ibsostsorre, as if limas only is the
11610410111/114 that the objection lay, and not in the entire
tone sad spirit of the pinto. When the busboad sad wife
ue thoroughly =rooms by the sight of their children, and
the audio= aspect to see them fly into each other's arms,
the gentleman rushee from the stage, and the lady falls
senseless to the ground. This tribute to morality
is a mean= of the play. It deprive. the =is

swot which is really the RAS pathetic passage in the
pies•, it substitutes one which, wider the circumstances, is
simply absurd.
Kiss Hefted performed the part of Kn. Haller with
sweetness sad gram, but it is not • favourable part for •
young actress. In the Int plaice, it belongs to a play which
, few people will see with pleasure or eves patio= ; and,
moreover, Kr.. Haller Is herself • very artificial petering',
I and sot a little tiresome with her high-flows, sentimental
speeches. She has two of seenee—when she reveals
I her guilt to the lead-hearted Commas, and where she
meets her wronged husband. These two moues some of
our great actresses of old made truly heart-readies ; bat it
required a great actress to do this. It has osly bon ►t the
hands of • great actress that this part ►as ever boos sue•
omsfal ; sad it is no disparagement to Kiss Hereed to say
that she is not yet a great actress. She has intelligease and
feeling, but she cannot rise to the istansity of passion which
these amass demand. Kr. Barry Sullivan gave • very good
convectional reading of the Stranger, without say maul-
able feature. The other parts were well enough acted, but
no =lag will mike them anything more than insipid
oommonpl•ess.

Camille, in Corneille's tragedy of the Horace*, is not
the gnats t of Radian impersonations, but it is the one
which displays I■ the simplest form those peculiarities
which distinguish her from all other actresses past and pre-
sent, and is Interesting es the put in which she made her

sprang at ass lisp from the lowest depths to the highest
piano& of her profession.
And what is the first distinguishing feature in Rachel's
acting ? You have but to look at her for the Bnt five
minutes after her appears's, on the stage, and you see it
at ease. You see that she le reiterated wit►
the grandeur that is involved in the simplicity
of ambit art. You :night fancy that a moment
before she was the statue of a Roman virgin in the
atelier of some modern Pygmalion, and that she has just
warmed into life. The spirit of a whole gallery of elastic
sculpture seems cossestrated ia the form before you. Those
robes which fall to naturally into the folds which are the
despair of modern and ono of the glories of ancient Kulp.

is n l this as a reproduction—let us not be niisandentsod—

Wet Remora nature, but of Roman art. Historically, of
muse, Corneille and Rachel are both wrong. The Moretti,
it they ever lived at all, were something very different
from the Hawes of Corneille. The author seised
hold et the latent poetry in the story of the
Horatil as told in the current histories, and endeavoured to
write a drama upon the ancient models. He was, as he him-
self confesses, in his own elimination of the play, but mo-
derately successful. He admits that he has not followed the
rules of Aristotle, although he evidently wished to do so.
Bat if he could not write a Latin tragedy, he made a very
admirable French one, breathing as much of the spirit of
elsmisality as was possible to be sequired In those days. And
we must not forget that the Romans he had before him as
models were the originals of those glorious remnant, of
ancient sculpture which adareed the galleries of the
essaarelts, or of the great Cardinal. Thus were the only
Roseau of whoa he and his audience had cord:sacs.
TIIIIS the spectators, although they listened to modern send-
meat, considered the personages of the drama as embodiments
of the type predated by the relies of ancient sculpture.
Rachel, with a rapidity which could proceed from nothing
but Mullion, soloed hold of this ides. She had to present
the character entrusted to her not only with regard to its
substance as a human being, endowed with oertaia feelings
and passions, but what was squally necessary, with regard
to its form, whisk meet be rigorouly classical. Walk
through the halls of Greek and Roman and Onsco-Roman
antiquities at*, Lune, the British Museum, or even the
Crystal Palate, and you will then appreciate the eon-
suunate skill which Radial show, in all her
siessial baperseastioas. In this rasped she is
expel e seen teas dramatists themselves. Corneille, he the
Beres" represents neither the Barbaric Romans ace the
imam et the Respire, still less has be written a drama en
• Raw sakiest as a Roman poet would have written it ;
but Rachel in Canaille steads, walks, gesticulates, looks as
the most Roman of all Roman virgins would have looked,
if the masters of Roman sculpture from whom she has drawn
her inspiration knew anything of the antique life which
they represented. _ _
