RIsToRI AS MARY STUART.-Never before
did the walls of the New Richmond Thea
ter contain an audience more fashionable
and appreciative than that which greeted
Ristori last night ON the occasion of her
making her debut in this city as Mary
Stuart.
The eventful and thrilling history OF this
memorable woman affords full play for che
pen OF the dramatist and the genius or tai
ents of the artist. The tragedy enacted by
Madame Ristori was arranged by the. cele-
brated Italian dramatiSt, Andrew Maffri,
from Schiller's work. and the alterations
are such as will allow wider margin for
the display of those gifts and powers for
which Madame Ristori is justly famed. not
only in this country but in Europe. The
Mary Stuart of Madame Ristori is based
solely upon the queenly idea. In all that
Is said or done the queen is before the au-
dience. Mary loves, hates, caresses, de-
nounces as queen. The regal presence is
never forgotten. and the divine right TO
command flashes from each glance, and is
heard in each tone of her voice.
In the celebrated interview between Mary
and Elizabeth, the wonderful powers of
Madame Ristori were fully exhibited. The
hot and bitter waters of hate, rage and
wounded pride overfiowed their banks, and
scalded and blistered all that met their
lava like flow. The intense feeling dis
played in this scene, and the subdued but
heroic temper manifested at the conclusion
of the piece, found response in the hearts
OF the audience, and they answered as if
the real tragedy was being enacted in their
sight. The whole piece was most carefully
elaborated. and yet SO perfect was the art
that no art was discovered. The audience
was more than usually demonstrative, and
each point was greeted with hearty ap-
plause. The Elizabeth of Antoinetta Cot 2.
tin, the Leicester of Giacomo Glech, and
the Talbot of Caesari Ristori deserve
especial commendation. s o.-
Tonight Ristori appears in her great role
of Elizabeth, Queen of England, when Sig
nor B 'zzo appears as the gifted and anfor-
tunate Essex. The richness and variety of
her costume in this character have excited
the admiration of even audiences accus-
toned to the most lavish extravaganza in
this respect, while her personation of the
steru-hearted maiden Queen is represented
as the perfection of tragic acting.-Rich-
