National Republican., 1873-01-11
DRAMATIC FEUiLLEToN.
Observation-Disclosures.

Md'grS the receptions, dc., the National was
again nllcd TO Its extreme capacity by tho ai,
mirers of Madame Jananschek, whose benefit
was tho occasion last night Of great enthusiasm.
Her conception Of the deserted Jewish maiden
was strong clear and intense, as are all her per
sonatiOns-a creature OF the grand Hebrew type
whose characterlstlcs are all Of generous
nature, with the Hebrew pride and dlsirust In
nately large In her heart, In hate and love, In
revenge aud forgiveness, knowing no Justs ai!ieu,
no moderate degrees, and under the sway of
each contendlng passion JananschekB tones, ex-
preston Of face aud attitudes were all, in each
situation, the most perfect and powerful repre-
sentatlOns Of feeling suggested hy genius and
tested by study.
In this much euogized role her marvellous
horror Of Imagination and endOwments OF ply
slqne have great scope, and exert a controlling
Influence upon her audience. The scene In the
chuTchyard was never so impressiyely performed
In our city. The uneNceptlOnable lntOnatlOns,
the movements, always fGultless and dictated by
the natural grace which ever attends such eN-
ceedlnR talent, were all most expressive Of the
fearful storm OF outraged trust and affection
finding partial vent In the ialcfuly pronounced
curse which Will not he forgotten by those who
heard 1t, The plain, utterly unadorned, almost
OutTr garb OF the wandering Jewess, the lack Of
all exterior accessory leave all effects dependent
upon the power Of mind and physical grace alone,
and thereby afford rare Instance aud proof OF
Janauscheks superlative gifts as an artist.
As Lady Macbeth JanansGheE faVoTs the onln-
Ion OF the best students and critics OF the day, In
her conception OF woman OF great pride, un-
StIupulOuH hInUltlOu anu UIuutlfsA nerve, Nct u
woman and u wife, not dlycstcd OF femlnlne
traits, not repulslvcly masculine as Charlotte
Cushman presents her, but with a WHY show
Of affection Tor her lord. She lures as well az
commands him TO the deed OF horror which ele-
Yates his fortune aud hers. Lady Macbeth
was q beauty IN her time, and not being "un-
sexed already" a woman Of cunning resources
aud commanding splrit-but the queens es-
tate became her royalty. As woman, wife and
queen Janauschek's impeTsnnatlOn II one OF the
most intellectually perfect aud most naturally
AL lull In Iha all val u Inc.
and has been approached only by two OF three
great female genluses OF the stage.

IN Utah have been At the mercy Of Brigham
Young, who has often relentessly used his muir
derous power to g;atify his malice and his ay-
ariCe. Persons who have passed through Salt
Lake city, spending few days there, have given
M many pleasant descriptions Of the place that
many believe that the MOmons are o sadly per-
secuted people, whereas II the truth was known
the world at large would be hOrrincd at the
crimes which have beon committed In Ulah.
