Bleak House.
Last night Nine. Jauauschek appeared
at Leubrie's Theater in the double role OF
"Lsdy Dedlock" and "Hortense," her French
maid, in the play OF Bleak House. The
weirduess of the story, the mysterious
gloom pervadiDg it, and the opportunities
for concentrated passion, all combined to
suit the talents of the actress. Nine.
Janauschek's excellence as the chief ex-
ponenent of the tragic school finds no
better demonstr alton than in this play. In
Marie Antoinette, while her acting is always
marked by intelligence and care, she does
not entirely consort with ones ideas OF the
part. In Bleak House no such accusation
could b; brought against her. The chsrac-
ter Of Lady d -dlock" is that Of strong in
telleciual woman, who his once erred
from sentiment, and who has resolved to
throttle the memories OF other days.
J anauschek, as might b, anticipated, was
great in this part. The admirable self control
of LADY Dedlock" when self control is
needed; her infinite tenderness to her child
when she reveals to the latter the fact that
she is her mother; her rigorous determina-
ton that they must part, and that no stain
shall be cast upon her husbands name, were
memorsbly pictured. II would be hard TO
Fl nd any flaws IN Janauschek's conception OF
ihisparI. As "Hortense," the maid, the ac-
tress was no less satisfactory. She had The
French indifference and chic to the life. The
marked contrast between the Two characters
was finely drawn. The support was 80 ex-
cellent that a decided interest clustered
about the play, without regard es-
pecially 10 the fact of Jansuschek's
prominence in it. Mr.. A. H. Stuart
was an excellent Inspector Bucket. MIR.
Giles Shine met all the requirements of the
part of "Sir Leicester Dedfock." Mr.. Ferd
Hight appeared 10 more advantage in the
part of "Tulkingh than in any previously
assumed character. Mr.. Harry Hawk was a
very comical ''Gupps" and looked as if fresh
from Dickens's novel. Miss Anna Locke did
as "Peor Jo." Miss Virginia
Brooks was very winning ESTHER" and
Miss Henrietta Irving was a very good
'sMrs. Rouncewell." To BUNCH it's merits,
the play was given with a completion rarely
seen on the Stage to day. Tonight Nine.
Janauschek appears "a "Mary Stuart" in
which part she has gained more reputation
n an in anv other
