| .H II. SAIVlNL
The seats for Salviniis engagement are being
rapidly disposed Of and there 10 every Indication
that the eminent Italian tragedlan will be libe-
rally patroniEed by the public. Salvini recently
! played an engagement IN Boston, when the Jour
nal spoke Of him In the following complimentary
terms: '.rhe magnetic power which Salvlni ire
slstibiy exerts bis audience wps displayed in
sSods within ss e se Ss
ings and prescribed condition rs q slave without
home, and the almost demoniac rage which
! TO his desire TO crush the universe A God to
| him whose wife had been murdered before his
very eyes and whose only daughter had been kid
mapped from him in q foreign land is an impossi-
bilty, the expression Of which thrills his listeners
with the apparent righteousness OF his denuncia-
tions. The discovery of his daughter In the per-
| son Of Neodania, whom no was commissioned by
Faustna to kill in the gardens on the Tiber, was
as tender and touching piece Of acting rs we
peryaded the entire audience. His paternal APP
peals to the Romans when subsequently In the
arena arena s,, While being gSaded on BY the prest Of
damia; his revengeful words to Faustina In the
prison scene and the farewell between himself and
save her from infamy and death at the hands Of
fanatieal mob, are parts which call forth all his
energies and unquestionably stamp the tragedian
as pre-eminent In his profession. Slgnor SRlvini
was thrice called before the curtain amid ap
pIause and cheers. in which Signoras Piamonti
(Faustina) and Barranani (Neodamia) and Sig
Goloneilo tFiavian) fully shared. OF Signora Pia-
months assumption Of Faustina nothing but words
Of praise can be said.
MISS CLARA MORRIS.
Miss Morris reappeared In New York on Thurs
day night before of the larges: and most fash
ionable audiences that was ever seen In the Union
Square theatre. Her reception amounted to q
brilliant ovation, the audience applaudIng her
acting in "Camiller to the echo, calling her be-
fore the curtain Eve times during the evening.
The entire city press accord her the highest
praise, and frankly confess that Miss Morris is
destined to reach to the highest pinnacle Of fame
in her profession. The Tribune, in over o column
concourse included SO many persons of marked
talent high station, and local repute, that 1t may
we'll be described as remarkably brilliant The
motive that assembled this crowd was curiosity
to sec Miss Clara Morris in the part that Matilda
Heron made famous nearly twenty years ago,
The incidents Of the occasion, accordingly, com;
several calls before the curtain. Back Of curl;
osity stands interest; and, however much critical
students may differ in estimating the quality or
defining the charm OF Miss Morris talents and
temperament the fact is manifest and incontesti-
BILE that she has deeply interested this public
admire and for this popular lady the occasion was
one OF effective magnetism rewarded with bCun-
teous public recognitlon-and thus m occasion OF
success. Miss Norris is slngularly handsome anu
winning, and in the parting scene In act third Is
as pretty type as ever was seen oi pathetic deso-
lation trying to be merry; and throughout the
:
pleased attention upon her golden youth and
passionate enthusiasm, the delicate intuitions OF
wilduess OF sudden emotion that flashes from her
eyes.
HERMANN.
Ford's will open May IS, for one week only, with
Hermann, the great prestidigitateur, who has
created more excitement in New York than his
elder brother did some i've years ago. The. New
York Herald says: "Many persons witnessed
with astonishment and delight o series Of magical
tricks performed by NJ. Hermann, at the Acad-
emy Of Music, last evening. The name Of this
renowned conjurer is not strange in this country;
nor were all of his deceptions novel. But all
were so deftly and gracefully done that they had
the charm Of novelty; Many things a oil 0i when me ~ u
PLANTATION excited the wonder and called forth the
hearty applause Of the spectators, things which
we have not the space to describe If we would, but
which or their like may bs admired any evening
this week or next Saturday afternoon NJ. Herr
mann has keen sense OF humor, and frequently
since had he lived then and acted as he does now,
this innocent performer would certainly have
passed for dealer in the black art II not for the
gentleman in black himself Now, however, he
caused neither awe nor terror, but was very
kindly and heartily welcomed when he first came
S ss SRS
ments have began very auspielously for himself,
and with excellent promise Of much amusement
for his patrons" ..a.-..
