MISS JANAUsCHEKs DEBORAH.
Miss Janauschek played Deborah, at the
Academy Of Music Saturday evening and thoroughly
delighted of the largest audiences of the season
The play performed Dr. IA. 5. Mosenthas "Deoo-
r,h," which is known TO the American stage through the
medium of M. Days adaptation OF Leah II is an
excellent play, simple plot, pure STYLE and fraught
with intense pathos considerable portion OF ITS text
IS written n blank The action is comprised W'h
four acts which, III tie playing, arc expanded ln'o seven
by the frequent dropcmtain We need not retei Tue
story ~ this piece. II is thoroughly well kno"h wrought
Rp by the hand of The true artist 1t depicts an INTENSE
pure and Wildly passionate loye state OF misery ul
Justly inflicted fIitc,outbrrt OF despair; and finally
a lofty selfabnegatiOn that IS positively suDhnno'
UJordh's nature is not merely permeated WIN
the spirit Of sweet WOmauhOOd, but is invested WIN
halo Of grandeur She is far superior TO the man whom
loves aud upon this fact, We think resi- the sre"t
Dass on and,hos Of her experience. Few conditions OF
feeling indeed are weful than is that OF great ma
tnre that loves beneath itself and is disappointed and
wronged by inferior being Miss Jananschek brought
ths thought closely home by her supcrby intellectual
and intensely emotional acting in the second ana uru
acts of Deborah" No previous perS0ndtor OF the cd
ncter has seemed 10 have heart in her bosom MISS
Janauscheks Deborah loves Joseph, as only woman Oh
brain and feminine passion ever does OF ever can
dove. Her meeting and her parting with mm' III

about abandon her starving friends Tor MS sake her
suppEcation TO old LOreO and 70 Hanna, when cast out
from the cottage door; and her thrilling adjnraon 10
Joseh after he has thrown his purse at her eet ana
rushed away-al bespoke what Is seldom seen IN acuhg'
a womans heart We have never heard more thrilling
tones Of agony than those in which she c1ed ont in the
darkness aud called her lovers name There was utter
shpwreck in them of love and hope and ie After tha

natural language of uncomfortable feeling On previous
Occason when have this play it has often seemed
TO us that DeboraS ont of harmony with her
mature and her eXperencethat so great reyuson had
not been warranted by previous display OF intensity
But Miss Janauscheks Deborh is thoroughly consistent
great love- her deep misery her frantic passion her
awful violence follow another in perfectly natural
sequence And the calm that succeeds the storm
the sad serenity with which she forgives ana
blesses, and dsappeaTs-is equally natural ana
characteristic. Not only has woman's goodness re-
suIned It's sway in her being, but her heart has com
muned with itself, IN the course OF five long
years Of dcsolate wandering, and is conscious OF
its mistake The flame has died outl There is but
faint glow in the embcrs. Night is coming down. Puri-
