s'Lucia."
This remarkable brawra singer, who unites the
electric qualities OF the voices OF Bosio and Frezzo-
and Lucca made her first appearance since her
return from Havana, before the New York
public last night Notwithstanding the abun-
dant least OF opera which the public are being
RECALLED with this season and the meagre announce
ments made OF this extremely short season-two
nights and q matlnee-there was a very good audi
ence present to welcome back the prima donna.
Her impersonatOn OF Lucia resembles TO q great
extent that OF Bosio with q greater wealth Of
even the famous cotordturd singer gave 1t.
Her extraordinary vOice-extraOrdiDary on &C
and electri cal effect In Its very tone-was in It's
best condition. and from the opening aria, ''He-
gnava mel Slenzio;m to the close OF the mad scene
In the third act, Mile. ID Murska enchanted the
attention Of the audience In every aria she intro
duced variations and cadenzas Of the most dilfcut
and yet appropriate character the execution OF
which In the hands OF any other prima donna
would be anything but successful. Ease OF execu-
ton. brillancv OF tone and absolute correctness
mark the voice OF Di Murska above that of her con-
temp0raries, Nilsson and Patti alone excepted.
S only y, to be regretted That an artss Of

commercially, and seems to have gained to GER

this city as being the fortunate possessors Of
voices OF the most terrific kind In regard to guam
uty OF tone. Their numerous admirers may be
assured Of the fact that their voices have lost moth

ssMedea' ut Booths Theatre.
The representation Of "Medea" brought TO this
house an unusually large audience. This pas
sionate story OF love, despair and revenge will
always exercise powerful influence on the human
heart because of the terrible vlvdness with which
1t paints the mos: intense emotions Of the human
breast Medea Is one OF those roles in which there
can be for the actress no medium between sue
the most touching scenes would lose their magic
power. Special difficulties lie in the way Of Nine.
Janauscheck's success She is foreigner, with
only limited knowledge OF the English language,
and her enunciaton, though distinct, is tinged
with foreign accent, which mars the beauty Of
the text. But so great Is the effect of the natural
ness, simplicity and force with which every
varying emotion Is shown, that the auditor
almost ~, the
help regretting that the genius OF the actress
should be lettered even in slight degree by want
OF thorough mastery OF our language In all the
stronger passages, where love or hate had to be
simulated, the triumph OF Mme Janauscnek was
complete. There was terrinc power and inten-
sity expressed IN tone, glance and gesture, yet
In the sJOrmiest scenes there was never even an
approach to rant The passions painted were real
human passi0ns-deep fierce, bur ming, but
seli-cOntained ana concentrated as Is all
real passion, until their mere portrayal
strong emotions must last night have left Booths
cOntented, and no doubt many impressionable per-
sons had their hearts torn BY the grand mimic
pictures OF all-absoroing sorrow presented to them
by the gifted actress MIR. Levick appeared In the
role OF Jason. The orchestra, under the direction
OF MIR. MOlenhauer, came to the relief OF the har-
rOwed feelings Of the audience with varied Selec-
ton oil popular music.
