Anderson, the leading role could not
fail to find a splendid Interpretation
One of her finest passages and when
her action seemed full of both pathos
and poetry was that wherein she gave
utterance to amazement and horror at
the discovery of the kings picture in
place of Vicentio's. The second act
also gave opportunity for the display
of her extraordinary powers in de-
clamation, as well as in the softer and
more natural touches Of nature, and
in the hall Of the statues, the closing
act, she was more than usually effect
i've and classical. The audience was
quite enthusiastic, and called the fair
lady before the curtain several times.
The support was not of the best, and
deserves neither special praise or con-
demnation. This afternoon Miss An
derson appears as Julia in the beauti-
full play Of the "Hunchback," and to-
night she closes the dramatic season
and her engagement here as Parthenia
in "Ingomar, the Barbarian"
