TALK WITH OTKELLO.
A Chat With John Mccullough Between
Apfs.

Look out, old fellow, you will get your hands
diScolored," said John Mccullough to q representa-
tive of THE REPUBLICAN, who accompanied Ed
Price and Captain Common to the dressing room Of
the tragedIan after the first act of "Othello last
night, as he extended his hand to take the scrib-
blers extended pencil.
"Never mind" said the scribe In the various
duties that newspaper man is called upon to per-
form if he don't discolor anything more than his
hands he'll get along all right
THE REPUBLICAN dropped into chair, and while
Robert the actors dresser, was busily engaged in
putting on his amor, Mr.. McCull0ch chatted
freely and continuously.

Early in April; l shall open in 'yirginius.'

In some cities il is my most successful part
''Wait until Friday night" observed the RE?UB-
LICASs man. referring to his first sentence and
think you viii have no cause for complaint b;
the way, what OF the many parts that you play do
That which l am playing tonight OabcTo." re-
piled the trGgedian, and also that which | shall
attempt tomorrow, King Leqr. l think would
rather play KING Lar perfectly than any othcrp part
that l know Of
'Do you think that the taste for the classic or
ie5ltlllldte drama mas improved ana increased
since you have been upon the stage"
Certainly: it is improving and increasing con-
SANITY. Classic plays are always well patron!zcd
when well presented 1t is not sufficient to pre-
sent a single part well rendered and surrounded
by lot of sticks: but there should be company
competent 10 properly perform each character, 50
that the whole performance may be symmetrical
When legitimate plays are 50 presented they are
always well patronized, and the public will sup
port them in preference to any other class of
drama"
"WiIl you play Jack Cade' next week.
- hardly think SO. It is of course very popular
in Philadelphia. where Judge Conrad, who wrote
it, lived bu. it has not the same interest in other
cities"
How long will you stay abroad"
Oh, not more than three or four months.
shall probably act five weeks only in London and
then / may play in some Of the smaller cities.
Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh &c; but shall
be back here next September"
Second act" shouted the Call-bOy, and as the
faithful Bob gave 0thc'O his grapevine sword the
scribe babe the genial Mccullough good night. ex
pressing the hope that he would play Jack CaIe -
next week and that the BritiShers would give him
as cordial and hearty welcome as his eminent tai!
cnts justly deserve.

"Daniei KOchRf."

SardOU's new drama made solid fDothold upon
public attention in New York. As play it ranks
high, as all intellectual production it does not i'll
amy sense belong to the vapid, puny efforts that
are honored with the rank of plays lately profse
in numberand advertising. The best thing that can
be said of Daniel Rochat' as a drama was
said by the Home Journal as follows: d" It gives the
impression of a highly intellectual play because,
in the first place lis motive is which requires
for its development natures of high order, and,
in the second place, because this motive is held
up clearly before the mind Of the spectators and
followed out to its legitimate issues with logic
simple and severe. The subject is one which, in
the hands of genius, readily lends itself to dra-
heroine OF the piece two natures with many ele-
ments of affinity.
BOTH ARE SINCERE,
earnest, devoted to their ideals high pTinciplcd
conscientious, selfsacriicing. But the ideal of the
one is limited tc the perfection of humanity on
this earth he refuses to accept what cannot be
brought within the exact determinations of the
life beyond the grave for the fultillment of
its best hopes, its ,yearnings,- its aspirations ;
hers is the religious ideal, the ideal
of the heart. Bring two such natures
into contact, make them i'll love with one an
other and il is evident that, if they remain true
TO their ideals there is for profoundly tragic
denouement. OF course, it is only art OF q high
order which could develop tie dramatic clpabil-
tiles of so high theme: but this exquisite art Sar
don has known how 10 employ, and the result is
work which will aSSuredly take its place among
the more permanent contributions TO the dramatic
literature Ofthe age"
The play Of Daniel ROchat is to be given at

title role
