parent in her performance rather in the stage
business OF the play than in her acting. During the
whole part OF the last scene she stands too near the
foot lights, close in fact that the whole business
OF the scene is necessarily transacted behind her
back. We will venture upon anotherhnt. 1t is not
natural for grief and despair to look always up into
the second tier. position little farther removed
from the foot-lghts, and eyes less elevated, would
produce much better effect In the second piece on
Friday night, The Child of the Regiment, Miss Jones
appeared as Warte and sustained the part with good
deal OF cleverness and sprightlness. She showed de-
gree OF grllsh abandon in her acting that was quite
taking, and evinced considerable versatility of tai
ent. Last night she appeared as Blanca in the
Italian Wife, and tonight she takes the part of
Parthenia in Ingomar. Her engagement closes
with the present week.
Mrs. MELINDA JONES appeared in the second piece
on Saturday night as Helen MacGregor in "Rob
Roy" The part was which afforded no oppor-
tunty for the display of her abilities as an actress
Next week We shall have Miss CHARLOTTE CUsH-
MAN; MIR. Ford having engaged her for six nights
only, commencing on Monday, April Goth. The
heavy expense to which the management has been
put in order to secure Miss Cushman renders neces-
sary the adoption of higher tariff of prices. As
the manager promises that effort shall be want
ing on his part to sustain Miss Cushman, we hope
that the friends of the drama will not fail to sustain
him. Miss Cushman's first appearance will be as
Romeo.
Very few of our readers have ever heard of Made
molsele Marie Dupessis, and we have no idea of en-
tightening their ignorance by entering into any
particulars about that young woman. 1t is enough
to say that under the name of Marguerite Gautier
she figures as the heroine of very clever and very
wicked novel and play, by Dumas fills, called La
Dame aur Camelias; that by the name of Camille
she has become quite as familiar to American read
ers and playgoers; and that she is the real heroine
of La Trduiata. How she lived, it is none of our
business to tell;-she died of consumption, and so
die her representatives in the novel, in the tragedy
and in the opera. The opera is to be performed
here on Thursday night, at the Front Street
Theatre, and we suppose all the world will be there
to listen to Verdi's music, to GAzzANIGGA's voice.
and to ltalian-words which veil from Ameri-
can ears the mystery how Marie Duplessis lived,
and who and what she The opera was once
who had the leasing of that edifce-the consecrated
temple of British Cant-stipuated, however, that no
English version of the opera should be sold in the
building. The best safeguard of the morals of the
audience evidently thought to lie in their gno-
rance OF the Italian language. This protection of
innocence are quite sure our Baltimore audience
will possess, and therefore have no apprehension
that any evil consequences will ensue from the per-
formance of La Trooiata in our city.
