RACHEL AND JONATHAN AS-Rachel-Franca
will be happy to hear it-has given satisfaction
In America. Just before her de6st, the Yam
kee critics very properly remarked, that a
most important epoch in her life was approach
ing, and that the question, whether she were
"cleVer" or not, was 10 be settled by - an
audience as intellectual subtle as that which
hrst sat an Judgment upon her" Indesd, the
value of the test was increased by the fact
recorded In the same pspers-that the Ameri-
can MIND was td6lLa TaSa in regard TO her.
and that the intellectual and subtle audience
assembled In some doubt as 10 what they were
10 see or hear, one Journal having described
her as "a great daRSeUSe,' and another hsv-
ing congratulated 1.-The lovers Of good music"
upon her arrival. However, New York has
now found out-and of course talks as glibly of
the discovery as il il were Of ancient date
that there were some French dramatists called
Racine and Corneille, who wrote 1.-The most
boring plays ever heard in America" and
that Rachel really delivers their language
brilliantly, and with q very pure French ae-
cent Nay, rushing into extremes, as usual,
the Americsns actually find histrionic merit in
the bundle Of Hebrew sticks whom Rachel
takes about with her To fill the other characters,
the innocent Yankees being unaware that all
the acting permitted TO those articles 10 the
acting as foils TO herself. Let il be added,
that Rachefs slight figure has been duly ap-
preciated, and that the leading New York
critic describes il as every light physical
timber" Punch felicitates Paris upon the
endorsement Of its bills-play -bills-by New
York.-Puneh.
