vestval has sung Romeo at the Grand Opera 1t is
quite difficult find the Paris about
her A letter the London Neus (sept. i5J gives
following criticism
vestval is a fine woman, II unusual height and ampl
,udc Of propo, tons, with sinal head round face an
good humored expression oi countenanee Her air and
gestures quite those OF the rider but TO
that She locks like man the height If absurdy. She
walks and holds the stage admirably, AMI OF all the
actors actresses l ever saw, she seems the most
devoid Of nervousness Her voice is deep contrato,
wonderfully fine in the lower tone, family in the
medium and upper She has immense power,
but wants sympathy l cannot imagine her STIRRING

exccpiionablc. She pup, o Mercaiantc aud has all
the best additions of Italian school This much
as to say not the Parsan style Her acting OF Romeo
passionate and energetic but she ought 70 be seen in
other paris before she is judged dedntvcIy Her fecep

dy accepted by the public cannot but lk the
administration Of the Rue Lepecticr has acted hastily
concluding three years engagement with her, as it
seems impossible, from personal vocal causes that
she can shine in female parts, although she is very

her age is twenty six.
