MR.. yrcBTER-THE GLOBE THEArER.


of the Boston Press in bidding him cordial welcome,
and wishing him ample prosperity. That Mr. Fechter is
sincerely fond OF his art that he realizes Its beauty ana
its possible benefcence and that he Will respect to the
fullest extent In his administration Of the new theater
there can be doubt in the mind OF any one who has
observed his professional career. In ORDER however
that his pathway to may be freed from needless
Obstacles and order the good wishes which now
attend him may prove worthless and vain, 1t is i'm
peratvely necessary that the gushing creatures, VINO
have done their best TO make him ridiculous ever since
he America should season their admiration for
while" and give the actor fair chance to DO MS worK
amid surroundings of dignity and taste. No artist looks
well through a fog of foolish aduation In TINS par
euar case moreover there happens to be unusual need
for sensible reticence the part of all who admire
Mr. Fechter. He came TO "star;" he remains to man
age, and he remains IN Boston, Ihese oircun-
stances are by no means the happest that could be
devised-for Boston is peculiar city, Ii has Occasonai
frenzies Of enthusiasm which last certain tme-hke
the measles or like cold in the head But there is no
place on earth that be so fgd when once repents
of its deirum and tires OF its favorte And there Is
nothing well calculated to stimulate reaction OF senu
ment scky and pretentiOus puery For MI Fetchers
sake therefore well for the sake Of common sense
we do sincerely hope that have heard the last about
his being the inventor of what is styled natura act
ing-whch was perfectly familiar TO American play
goers long before Mr. Fecher to the surface-and
likewise about his being innovator in established
stage customs, when the truth is that he Is rather
remarkable than otherwise for adherence to the
traditions Of his calling Such idle pretension, we
repeat good the actors and will very
likely do harm. What could wish for MI Fechter Is
fair field and no injurious favor He is man OF ability
as we have never doubted and denied He is the
best actor in meOdrama that we have ever seen-uhess
perhaps exception be made in favor OF Edwin For
rest in his best days He is strong enough 10 conquer
legitimate success without aid from the creakng bellows
of puery whether blown by foggy sOphomores or sen-
mental damsels and hope he may be left unembar-
rassed by this superuous assistance. Our views con-
dernng Mr.. Fecbters acting-and concerning the eN-
rayagant estimate of it which has been thrust upon the
public in many directiOns-have been so explicitly ex-
pressed in past days. that is possible our good wishes
for the eminent actors success in the new GoDe Ihea
may be regarded the fifth wheel of the coach Never
hees they are sincerely entertained and earnestly ex-
| pressed We would not withhold from Mr. Fechter one
particle of credit that is rghtfuy his due and we con-
denty believe that he will make the Globe Theater an
institution OF which Boston ought to be proud and out
of which good influences will arise TO benefit dramatic
art throughout the country. For the true interests OF
that art we have steadily labored and could offer
more cordial welcome than extend to any and every
enterprise which calculated to advance H. Wei

The tides of life and thought should reach
high altitude this evening at Nibo's Garden. There
are few plays worthy TO stand beside Shakespeare's

can be no doubt that performance of Jnus Cesar
