Mrs. D. P. Bowers has earned the right to be es-
teemed with the best OF tragic actresses. TO an
actress selecting to walk on the highest plane OF
her art the way Is made arduous and severe by
the necessity to array her performances in line
with those OF all her compeers, as the popular
tragic roles so few. Mrs. Bowers perform
ances have never suffered by the numerous COM
parsons thus compelled. In all her imper-
in idea and considerable culture. In
the latter regard Mrs. Bowers TAILS below
several OF her compeers. Last evening she APP
peared IN the character oil Amy Robsart that uIl.
fortunate wife OF Leicester and Involuntary rival
in his affections with Queen Elizabeth. Her per-
torrance OF this part has several times before been
noticed in these columns. Last evening she showed
that she had lost ne OF her former power, though
1t was equally apparent that she had added nothing
to 1t. Her best scene was in the denunciatOn OF Sir
Richard Varney before FL za0eth at the fete at
Keniiworth, after she had beiied ner own acts by
eXculpating Leicester from any crime.
