Rose Michel

Rose Michel" is play that requires for Its
proper Interpretation a theatrical company
which has given it long study and which is
made up of actors who have paid particular at
tention to special branches of their profession,
for nearly all its roles are exacting and neces-
states more than ordinary practice. From the
company at Fanny Marsh's Theatre there was
not to be expected the strength in acting and
the finish in detail which comes of constant
representation. Indeed in the opening acts
one was inclined to wish that general mas
sacre might have been substituted for the MUIR
der of "De Bellevue" who was one of the least
offensive in the cast-perhaI because he ap-
peared SO infrequently. But in the last three
acts the interest so deepened that all faults of
haste were readily condoned. The "Pierre" of
Mr.. Gossin was admirably conceived and well
interpreted, and whatever was lacking is to be
attributed to the "heaviness" of the business.
He makes no pretence of ability to play the
william. Mr.. The adores part, that of "Mouli.
net" is unusually exacting and requires COM
bination of humor and pathos only to be found
in the best of our actors. Miss Bailey was an
insufficient Louise Miss Hardy was bad
CUuuleSS, anu Mr. Armstrong deserved 10 Do
led to the block which he SO narrowly escaped.
The other subordinate parts require no partic-
ular mention. So much fo- preliminary.
Miss Eytiuge's "Rose Michel is an mper-
sonation which constantly grows in interest
upon the spectator. In the opening scenes one
is inclined to regard it as neat and finished
impersonation and to give it no further praise.
But from the fourth act Oh, where, in the ex-
animation before the project. she replies to the
preliminary question, Madeleine Rose Michel,
nee Dumont," the true tragedy. the real pathos
OF the play begins to develop itself, and the
spectator recognizes the strength and delicacY
of Characterization which commanded for
whole winter the attention and applause of the
most capricious of publics
This afternoon the last of the Eytipge matt
nees takes place. Camille" should certainly
draw crowded house. This evening there oc-
ours what the posters appropriately announce
as "Tbe dramatic event of the season. 1.-THE
Hunchback'' will be produced. Miss Eytinge
will assume the part of "Julia," Miss Marsh
that of 'Helep," and Mr.. Gossin that of "Mo-
dus." There should be no necessity of be-
speaking packed house.
