DRAMA.

ST. JAMES'S.

The Aare, in which Mdlle. Rachel appeared Let
evening, is the best known of ell Racine's tragedies, and
that in whin► the actress has achieved her greatest trinnphs.
If we were Waned to be option, we might question the
justice of the decision of the public in both eases. It will
be enough to say with regard to the tragedy, that Racine,
with two models before his eyee—a tragedy by Euripides,
and one by Seasca—both on the uswe subject, has written

a worse tragedy thaa either. With respect to the acmes, all
that seed be 'midis, that perfect sa is her enunciation of the
sharacter, there aro other parts is which we prefer seeing
her.

Still there can be no doubt that Rachel's Phan, as an
effort of histrionic art, is utterly Deland all praise. It is
from the very fact that the represratatioa is so terribly
true that the first objection WWII. Racine has gone far
beyond his ►ncient models in representing the illicit passion
of Piedra. He has brought out into the broad sunlight
that which the ancients would have shrouded in mystery
and uttered in whispers. When we read his play, the effect
jars upon the sense. But when the whole parka of the
play is brought before us with an intensity of which the
world before Rachel never dreamed, the effect is crashing.
The instant that you see her, you know that she is bowed
to the ground under the consciousness of some dreadful ►in,
which makes her life hateful to her. You are quite pre-
pared to hear something terrible. You an not at all sur-
prised to gad that she burns with a consuming melon for
her husband's son. Nothing less could make her betray that
unutterable longing for death.
