MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
ssYIarie Anton

0Marie AntOinette, at the Walnut.
Mrs. Lander has added another important
character to her repertoire, and her personation
of "Marie Antolnette'' will be witnessed with
interest by those who have admired her
Elizabeth" and MARY Stuart" The tragedy,
which was produced for the nrst time at the
Walnut on Monday evening, follows the origi-
nal work OF Giacometti, in which Ristori ap-
peared last winter, with tolerable closeness.
The seven acts of the italian dramatist, how.
ever are with excellent judgment, reduced to
nye and without the loss of much that might
not readily be dispensed with, while the play
gains in strength and concentration OF interest
by the curtailment. Some important changes
have also been made in the general arrange
ment, and these are, we think, for the most
part improvements. The scene in the shop of
the Mayor OF Varennes where the "King' and
"Queen" are detained in their attempted flight
which has been added by the author OF Mrs.
Lander's version, is a good one, and II
gives q variety to the incidents which
was needed The great fault of Giacomettrs
play was its prolixity, seven acts of soul-har
rowing tragedy being more than ordinary play
goers could stand, except enthusiastically and
under extraordinary circumstances. Tue play
now being performed at the Walnut needs
trimming down considerably to reduce 1t to the
proper dimensions for acting purposes, and in
number of places In each of the acts the dia-
logue might be cut with advantage. The expe.
rience gained by actual perior nance, however,
will soon suggest how the play can be benefited
by curtailment, and in the first representations
little superfuous verbiage is to be expected
and is excusable.
Mrs. Landers "Marie Antoinette" is arefined
artistic piece of acting, but as whole we
scarcely think 1t equal in finish and concentra
tion OF power to her elizabeth" or "MarJ
Stuart" In the early scenes she is too delibe
rate and constrained, and there is want o
vivacity and spontaneity. AS the gloom Of the
tragedy deepens, however, the actress rise'
with the subject, and the scenes where genuine
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-10-07

tragic power aRd intensity are required are
given In style that is worthy OF the highest
commendation. II should be remembered tn at
this Is an entirely new role with Mrs. Lander
and IL Is scarcely TO be expected that she
can render II at FIRST with the same effect
that she does those to which she is more aocus-
toned. When she becomes better acquainted
with IL, and has had time to test It's weak as
well as Its strong points, she will doubtless be
able to perform IL with more ease to herself
and with more satisfaction to her audience.
The part Is difficult one, and one that requires
the highest order of ability. Last winter Mrs.
Bowers. an actress OF no mean order OF talent,
attempted IL, and achieved only com parative
success, and Mrs. Lsnder's personation is un-
doubtedIy one that no other lady on the Anne
rican stage can equal.
Mr.. j. II. Taylor's representation OF "Louis
XVI" is good In many respects, but he is en-
tirely too declamatory, and he spolls some very
fair acting by his unnecessary vehemence
Mr. Taylor does not perform the part as well as
Mr.. McManus did at the Chestnut last season
not to mention Signor BoZzo of Ristorrs troupe,
and he would be more likely to improve II he
would initiate Mrs. Lander's example in re
straining his energies at first. Mr.. George
Becks, as the Duke OF Lauzun," acts
with much care and discretion, and Mr..
Walcot sustains the role OF the Marquis de
LnlhJoJIo III CHphUle mHuneT, alJQOuR0 MS
attitudes are not always natural or graceful,
and he bends his legs unnecessarily at times
instead of standing firm and erect, as II per.
fectly at ease. In the second act, too, the
powdered wig and queue are changed for the
flowing black curls OF the Republican rathe
suddenly, suggesting the idea that Lafayette
has been on q visit TO his halr-dresser during
the interval between his appearances In the
first and last portions of the act, instead
being engaged in attempting to pacify the
mob who are marching on Versailles.

The Town Elections.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph
NEW HAVEN, Oct. 1.-THE town elections in
Connecticut on Monday prove to have been even
more declsively Republican than was at first
reported. Last spring the Democrats carried
the Slate by a majority of l764: now our return
indicate that the Republicans have carried it,
at the very lowest, by 5000. The authentic re.
ports from 60 out of lO2 towns in the State
show the aggregate Republican majority as
1886, and the Democratic majority at $50, thus
making net gain OF 1920 for the Republicans
