LOLA MoSIEs NEW HISTORICAL DRAMATIC
last representation in this city Of the epic drama writ
ten by Mr. Charles Ware Of the Broadway theatre fol
the Countess Landsedt performed in that theatre
last evening The play is entitled Lola Monies in Ba
vara and processes to present correct history of the
distinguished danseu@ and politician in that kingdom
It has been produced for the last six nights with pro-
dgious success, Lola Of course sustaining the CHIEF
character and epcrsonating herself with great ability
The play possesses no plot whatever but is simply
hearsal Of the part enacted by the fascinating
the dominons King Louis Of Bavaria The King Barons
Jesuits artists ladies Of rank and popuace make up the
drama,is persona BY the notorcty which Madame the
Countess has acquired throughout the civilized world
extending to the Arabs Of Agers and the American
Indians, the story depicted possesses sufficient interest
and attractions to bring crowded houses and though
void of merit dramatic composition, it nevertheless
maintains unaggiDg interest from the first to the
last 1t is divided into five acts representing Lola
Monies as tho dGnseue the politician the countess the
revolutionst and lastly as the fugitive in which latter
character she says that she flies not from Justice but
from foul tyranny and oppression. SO much for the
piece itself and now for its heroine Lola ii must be
confessed has made most successful hit in exchanging
the ballet for the drama acting is by
much grace and modesty, and sort of nutivc ccncep-
fact nothing about which strikes the audience with the
impression If its being learned and conned by rotcu
1t l. perfectly natural and free from that aectation
which apparent i'll the performance OF most regular
tresses As Lola herself says is not to be wondered at
that she goes through her part well 1t is merely
repetition Of the scenes which she acted IN yod persona
We learn however from authority competent to be well
informed on such matters that Lola's master. stroke
Of acting was made on The first night Of her
appearance. She then rchearsod her part with
even greater ndree. and therefore approximatcd
closely to the real triumph Of acting which is being most
true TO nature Since then she has been endeayoTug to
make greater display Of her h-tronc talents and has
just IN proportion dcystcd from the true line She spcak
with ispne foreign accent and has very limited
pasa Of voice entirely inadequate to her becoming
rEcial actress. But her attempts to remedy this defect

of bcrg egEtd and unnatural and tend to mar so,ne
what tie effect which her acting would otherwise produce
The Ike remark holds true of most amateur players.
