THE Phillips TRoUPE.-De1r Eiit0r:-
How shall we explain why Miss Adelaide
Phillips has not succeeded in drawing
larger audiences in the really excellent and
artistic renderings of operas which she has
given here during this week? Those who
were so favored as to be present last night
will unite with me in the assertion that no
equal performance has been heard in Wash
ington for a long time Indeed, so far as re-
specfs the leading parts. it would have been
creditable anywhere. The writer has heard
in Italy itself Yet Miss Kellogg-a keen
business woman and admirable manager
could not find room for the crowds which a
rev months since rushed TO listen to decided
ly inferior casts. Miss Phillips superiority
as an actress will not be Questioned, ana
those who heard her last night I'm the pa
thetic role of LeOnora, In FavOrIta, will not
dispute the effective and rich character of
her singing, and the high art to which she has
ATTAINED. She Is an artist in the true sense of
the word. Without the beauty of feature
of Kellogg she has more grace as an actress,
ana greater dramatic powers. The baritone
(Signor Tagliapietroj is very superior. and
alone should draw full houses, while the
tenor, (Signor Karl,) who, last night, flle1
the roll OF Fernando. was very pleasing and
eHecuVe. is the explanation of this SEEM
ing indifference to be set down to a lack OF
real appreciation OF music, or is il rather TO
be attributed To the want of sufficient her.
aiding and certain other consideration not
so creditable-that the lady who has under
taken this enterprise is not so well known 70
The fashionable world? 1t may be safely
predicted that those who attend tonight
and at the matinee tomorrow, will not be
disappointed Of very pleasing entertain
ment.
