Last night in Steinway Hall Mr.. FarjeOn
made his second public appearance in this country giving
hs first reading in Now-York. He repeated the con-
story of BLADE o. Grass" which read last
Tuesday in Brooklyn; and to his inter
probation of which this journal has already
adverted. He excellent voice last night and the
reading was marked by more vigor, elaboration and
dramatic light and shade than it possessed on the earlier

OF her particular presentations tells these truths,
It nsrucs the Judgment and tine feelings TO dwell rather
upon what she is than UPON what she accompishcs
Mental discipline and artistic method may be taught
but no educational source yield magnetic lire ana

the schools; there are others that come from
Heaven. Certain human beings-most fortunate ana
rare-arise now and then in the world, accredited
with the vague power and the nameess grace to move
and to charm They take place OF gentle sovereignty
az once and uncOntescd not by virtue of their deeds
but by virtue Of their existence They made pocn-
tia TO help the human by power which Is above
earthly influence, and Independent OF human ca

suusng heart with beauty by the spontaneous in
voluntary suggestion of its divine possibilities; and by
the elevation Of its soul Mary Anderson is OF these
fortunate persOns and that fact far important
to profession which she has adopted and to her own

the acting of part although indispensable merit, Is
never, IN a large sense, important TO the world and
much public talk about such matters is t1e siren

lovely personality and ennobling spirit, on
the stage as elsewhere, is always a blessing TO
be welcomed aud cherished. Mary Anderson is a
young healthfu handsome artes' girl, remarkable for
pOmp Of figure and music Of voice. singular in her large,
broad sumptuOus natural action, and fascinating with
mysterious charm As actress she has almost every
thing to learn. AS a woman, she is paragon.
