AMUSEMENTS.
Jana ausch ek:-Deborah.

It is no mean triumph for Madame Janau.
schek that, In q community known to be the
most fastidious- perhaps We ought to say the
most unimpressionab!e -as to things dramatic,
in the entire South, she has awakened a genu.
Inc enthusiasm and filed the Academy with
audiences which, in brilliancy and numbers,
eclipsed even those which assembled to listen
to the fair Swede who came amongst us her
aided as the Queen of Song. The Impression
Was somehow very general among those who
saw the tragedy of Mary Stuart, on Monday
night, that they had seen Janauschek at her
best: but the universal verdict of all who at
tended both performances, was that in De-
borab, last evening, the genius of the great
actress shone even more conspicuousy.
Intensity is the leading Characteristic of
Janauschek's acting; and 1t would be hard to
find single role in which the same scope is
afforded for the play of 30 many successive
and distinct emotions, as in Deborah. In the
first two acts we have the fire Of passionate
and consuming love; in the third, pity and
pathos, and the conflict of duty and devotion;
In the fourth, horror, Jealousy, revenge and
unrelenting haze; while the fifth crowns ali
with so tender picture of mercy and forgive
ness and all.conqueriDg though hopeless love
as 10 win the tribute Of unbldden tears from
the beholders. Not for one Instant, last even
ing, did Deborah relax her hold upon the in
terest and sympathy of her audience. The
realism of the part was absolutely painful. 1t
was not Janauschek; 1t was the outcast JeWess
herself. The dramatic triumph was COM
plete.
The support given to Janauschek by her
company was really good; but this, as we'll as
the not very elaborate mise en- scesa, was In
great measure overlooked in presence of the
towering genius OF the central figure.
Tonight, in the drama Of Chesney Void,
the stage version of Dickens's Bleak House,
Madame Janauschek enacts double part.
The plats at the box Office already ensure q
crowded house.
