Edwin Adams Tomorrow Might.
Tomorrow night Edwin Adams COM
mences a weeks engagement at the
Memphis theater, the opening play being
/ E5loch arden, which is to this actor
what Rip Van IVinEle is to Mr.. Jeffer-
son-a splendid speciality. The Chicago
Times has this to say OF Mr.. Adams g
recent debUt in that city: "hIr. Adams's
rendition has not notably changed
since his last engagement at M'Vicker's
theater. Il is marked by the same re-
strained energy, breadth and finish
which have given him so enviable q
name in this role. The strength and
dignity OF the character, than which
TennysOn never wrought out q more
manly and noble idea, are conceived
and embodied with a wreath of fine
touches in the hands OF the artist, which
are worthy of close study on the part Of
the dramatic student. Il is one Of the
representations which, though they may
not startle and subjugate the attention
with tyTannical force, are yet so thor
Oughly human and sympathetic as
to grow on the admiration, and leave
behind them memories most fattering
to the power that produced them. The
fourth and fifth acts bring out all the
genius Of the actor in its ripest degree,
and the arrival of the sailors who release
him from his island Imprisonment, as
also the terrible revelation of the last
act displays MIR. Adams's command
over the most subtle forces Of human
feeling to a mastery extent.
1.-THE greeting that Edwin Adams re-
ceived on such a stormy night as last
evening was grateful and well-de-
served tribute Of admiration for superb
actor, and the pathetic and beautiful
play with which he has become so init
mately associated. The poem of EnOch
ATdea, though simple in Its eonstrUc-
ton and limited in the number Of its
personages, contains g. and dramatic eff
fects that have been skillfully utilized
by Miss Marguerites, the playwright.
The language OF the original has been
retained in most respects,
and the general complexion OF the
TennysOnian story followed. There
are few modern dramas with so few
elements Of improbability, so careful a
preservation OF the unities, such true
and tender strokes of Bathos, and so
artistic development and working I'D
OF the climax. Yet the den0uenaent,
though intensely sympathetic in its
tax on the sorrows of the audience, is so
tenderiy relieved that the prevalent
feeling left is one of gentle melancholy,
which Is rather pleasing than other
wise. so much for the drama itself; and
even this need not have been said, for
almost everyone is familiar with the
outline OF the story whether from the
original poem, or from seeing Mr.. Adams
n the title role of the play in which he
1as frequently before made his bow to
Chicago audiences"
