PiYEu's OrERA HOUSE," QUEEN
ELIzAysTH."-The fine historical five
act drama of Queen Elizabeth" was
presented last evening on the occasion
OF the first appearance Of Mrs. F. NJ.
Bates, the young, talented and versa
tile actress. This being u Of the
standard plays wherein by comparison
all can Judge by comparison Of the
meritorious i~mpersonation OF the lead
ing character. Mrs. Bates. the imperl-
Gus, strong-willed virgin Queen, came
fairly within the range OF test and GER
tainiy suffered nothing by the critical
comparison with others who have APP
peared upon that stage In the same IN
peYsonation. Possibly the natural adj
vantagss of graceful figure, good stage
appearance, easy, self-possessed style,
and one of the fullest, most distinct
voices Imaginable. she added thereto
an excellent conception Of the charac-
ter and a degree ofartlstie correctness,
force Of delineation and effect seldom
seen in any theatrical artist, and fully
meeting the requirements Of each
thrilling situation and dramatic epi-
sode OF the piece. The queeniy little
woman was enthusiastically called De-
fore the curtain at the close OF the Sec
ond. third. fourth and fifth acts to re,
ceiye the we'll deserved approval OF
the large audience present. MIR. Bates
rendered the character OF Lord Essex
with excellent force and effect, and
was also approximately applauded
and called before the curtain. Mr..
Edmonds succeeded very we'll as Sir
Francis Drake, Pierpont Thayer a.
Lord Howard, and u or two Of. the
other male characters were fairly rem
dered. Miss Jenny Vaudeville, as
Lady Sarah Howard. did splendidly ;
we never Jaw her succeed so we'll in
any dramatic dedication. Mrs. Stew
art personated Lady Anna Burleigh In
her usual excellent style. Mrs. Ed
monds appeared to peculiar disadvan-
tage as King James Of Scotland, There
was an occasional miscue, such Is usu-
ally TO be seen mt q first presentation,
but generally speaking the play passed
of we'll and highly satisfactory. This
evening the great sensation five net
play Of "Frou-Frou" will be giver,
with Mrs. Bates As Gilberte, supported
by an excellent cast, as may be seen
by reference to advertisement and DIS
tributed programmes.
