SrADT THRArRE.-Mr. Friedrich HaAse made his
first appearance last evening before New York
audience. The reputation which preceded him was
not OF that brilliant character a. the fame to the
call OF winch Bogumil Davidson crossed the OCEAN
And while it would be improper to make any COM
parsons between the picture actually before ~ and
that which only lives In our memory, II n yet but
proper to say that Mr.. Haase has proved not only
more brilliant than his fame, but even more bewtch-
ing than the memory Of Dawson. To be short. Mr..
Haase last evening as Sir Harleigh was the perfect
Englishman OF high life. and again as Rath Fein
he was the overpolite provincial oficer-two char
acters dlametrically opposed to each other that
only the most consummate art can achieve success
his German, as Sir Harlegn, was too much mingled
with an anglIcsed accent. otherwise, IN appear
ance, action, in every movement ana every step ne
idea OF being betrayed by his wife and OF being
murderer. And SO he was again the representative
or class In Germany as Rath Fen, too polite by
half giving truthful portraiure Of life without ex
aggeraton. The hour Is too late and nrst appear
ance does not give scope 70 o. ender s Ipon
istics as actor. But the public, which was fully
represented-the house being crowded, notwlth-
called him before the curtain more than dozen
times. AZ the close q the second acs ne
kind reception he had met, and promised that he
would DO everything In his power to merit the good
win Of the Germans thus earnestly expressed on nus
safely be said that delineat0r Of human charac
ter he has no equal upon the stage.
