Dramatic Notes.

| "EMhhWhhc NoeOos
The largest house of the season wa
that of Saturday evening, greeting the
appearance Of that eminent artis!e
Miss Mary Anderson. The play was
that Of "Evadne," in which she was
supported by Atkins Lawrence, Mines
Levick, and s. X. Chester. When the
graceful figure of the lady came upon
the stage it was the signal for pro-
longed and enth usiastic burst of ap
plauss. Her rendition Of the character
was faultless--so true to the spirit OF
the author, that in verify as the devel-
opments proceeded, a rough awakening
would have been necessary ere you
could have believed you were not living
in another era. The graceful move
ments Of the willowy form, the pure
Grecian caste Of the exquisite face, and
the highly souled purity 50 manifestly
expressed upon her very countenance,
all combined to make worthy repre-
sentation of a virtuous daughter, in
whose veins coursed the pure blood OF
proud Italian ancestry. The pathetic
utteranoes whick every now and then
would burst into deep and sweeping
storms of passion, were entirely the re-
fex of a woman's despair, bowing be-
meath false accusation. 1t was most
admirably done. In repose the express
sion of the face was beautiful, and, be-
ing animated by the expressive glance
of her eyes, sxerted almost ths same
magnetic influence over her audience
as did her voice, toned in rich melody,
in the more intense portions of the
play.
She was ably supported by Mines
Levick az "Colonna" and Atkins Law
renee as "Vicentio," s. K. Chester as
"Ludovico" was fair bnt H. Custer
Kennedy as The King" was inexcus-
ably deficient even in the minor details.
Had he remained in repose his tine fig
ure would have aided him passably in
his character but when he arose, his
arms seem to have a tendency to flop
around rather awkwardly and his whole
bearing was hardly that which one
would imagine belonged to majesty.
His utterances were thick and a portion
of the lines sounded as though they
were being masticated.
RIcEs EvANGELlNE-On Wednesday
evening, Mr.. 4. Rice, who intro
duced Horrors" in our city, at the
hegining Of the season will be- present
with the Evangeline combination with
all the original music. There will be
a superb male and female chorus and
the following extravagant creations
"The lone fisherman" " The Lively
Whales" +" 'The balloon trip to Arizona
sand the heifer dance" In addition
to these which are the most absurd com
bination of refined nonsense there will
be ludicrous effects, splendid costumes
and a good cast Of characters.
