BROADWAY THEArRE-Last evening concluded the
engagement Of Miss Cushman at Broadway theatre and
the houte was as densely crowded any previous
evening during her appearance the enthusiasm
with which she was received in aught diminished Next
to Meg Merriies Lady Macbeth Is perhaps the oharac
ter that is in most respects best adapted to the energy
and ygor Of her masculine mind It's true, she wants
the majesty and grace make perfect Lady Macbeth
and when some stupid critic ventured lately not only
to compare her with the immortal Mrs Sidons but TO
assert her superiority the greatest tragic actress
the world saw, he did Miss Cushman great iu-
jury, by fettiDg up pretensons which only serve to
make her idiculons and which che would be the first
herself to repudiate There but Siddons, and
probably there will be another. Miss Cushman
fails in the banquet for want of queenly dignity
and her couresy to Duncan is not OF that softly insnu
stDg description portrayed by Shakespeare but when
she persuades her husband to the murder, her argu
ments given in a fendlke tone that curdles the
blood with horror and after the Preparation Of the
dark deed her Of Macbeths terrors, and her
clamstion Give me the dagger" Is powerful beyond
description In some other passages she Is rather vio
lent in her eeticuaton and exaggerates the cbarsc
or this is her greatest general fault She il want
ing too in the pathos expressive Of remorse but in all
the more terrible elements of the character she is
probably, without living rival In she sleep walking
sbe is truly grand There is not in the whole
range of the drama character so difficult to master
or that requires rare combination of qualities
that seem almost Incompatible with each other.
Take Miss Cushman all ia sll,n we shall not easily
look upon her like again In that sublime part Ameri-
have good to feel proud Of her.
At the fall OF the curtain, she called for and
ceived the most enthusiss tic paudits Couldock who
acted the part OF scbeth, abored under cold which,
with acting in the most impassioned scenes

very effective. MIR. Dyott was a noble MacdufY, and
fully realized the character Shakespeare drew. The
scenery magnificent in this great tragedy. The

represented the Irish heroes Of the night but regret
