The merits of this company are we'll known,
and their performances have been highly
spoken of by the press of other cities Miss
JEANNE Winston and Miss Amy Gordon, mem
bers of this company, are well known artistes
The Reading Times and Dispatch says /:
ssJeannie Winston and Amy Gordon, both of
whom have hosts of admirers. appeared in
John A. Stevens Twelve Jolly Bachelors
on Saturday evening. The opera has much
to commend itself to favorable notice. The
music. which is pretty throughout, some
times spurts into brilliant aria or duet.
The applause on such occasions was
freely and heartily given. Nothing could sx-
coed the stirring charm of the Tally-Ho song
by JEANNE Winston. Mr.. Morgan's vocal or
gan, whose stops and swells we learned to
admire in Fatinitza, was in fine tone. He
sang and played with his usual spirit Miss
Amy Gordon's Slumber song was pleasingly
rendered. The duett of Misses Winston and
Gordon was one of the gems of the even
ing"
MARY ANDERSON.
The capacity of Carll's Opera House was
put to the test last evening" as it always is
when Miss Anderson is advertised to appear.
1t is safe to say that no one of the large as
sembly could have justly been dissatisfied
with the entertainment and that many came
away fully convinced that the beautiful &C.
tress has fairly won her place as foremost in
the ranks of the popular and talented actress
es of America. There may be faults in Miss
Anderson's acting, and she may lack the
genius and art possessed by others, but she
is endowed with attributes that can be claimed
by no other artist and which are of the most
pleasing and fascinating character. Her glo-
rious voice is pure, round and melodious,
nv nTa WI n liner
sons phrase, is erich as woodland thunder. !"
Her figure is commanding and graceful, and,
though somewhat slight, has grandeur that
does full Justice to the ideal Greek girl. AS
the curtain was drawn last evening from in
front of GNlatea, the statue which Pygma-
lion had created and fallen in love with, the
audience, instead of breaking into applause,
were astonished, and it took them some time
to realize that it was not real statue, but
Miss Anderson who stood before them. She
looked as purely statuesque in her cold white
beauty as it is possible for the solid marble
itself to do. The arrangement of the hair,
the clear cut, classical features, the graceful
folds of the drapery, all had the appearance
of the marble figure released from its stony
bed by the cunning art of the sculptor. And
as she slowly raised her head and
stepped from the pedestal it
seemed as though in reality
statue EAu D6eu euuOWeQ WILL n1S, WdS hcIu-
ally living, breathing and moving. Miss An
derson has not lost any of her art, if she has
not added to it, and the purity of her love,
the embodiment of innocence, which seemed
to possess all her thoughts and movements as
she portray ed the unreal but ingenious char
acter of Galatea, was marked triumph for
her. Her artless alteration of her own beau
ty and her horror at the sight of the dead
fawn were purely natural and in keeping with
the simplicity of her mind. Her tragic pow
or was also clearly shown in her supplication
to Cynisca to spare Pygmalion, and tbs
pathos and tenderness with which her grief
at having to leave him was portrayed.
Her return to the cold marble
from which she had sprung created
a sympathy which brought tears to the eyes
of many of the auditors and as the curtains
were once more Withdrawn, showing her as
again the cold, inanimate figure OF stone,
genuine storm of applause broke forth from
the audience. The Inconsistencies which
seemed prominent in the play, and the fact
of the marble figure endowed with life speak
ing and understanding the language, are ex-
planned away in recognizing that the gods
who had the power to create life could also
enable her to reason and speak so
far as it was necessary to accomplish
their end in Furnishing Pygmalion, whose
punishment eliminated in the stroke of
blindness. The whole of Miss Andersons
performance can be considered as none other
than artistic and beautiful. Every posture
was a statue of itself, not marred but made
more beautiful by the slight coloring of the
lips and eyebrows. Many would enjoy seeing
Miss Anderson in a less heavenly and spiritu-
al condition than that of last evening. A little
more of the earth, earthly and an indication
of real flesh and blood, spirited action, etc,
would awaken more enthusiasm and carry
more delight with it, but a representation
of a classical character her effort was GER
tainly most finished.
This evening Miss Anderson will appear as
Bertha in "The Daughter of Roland"
The play is said to be the only one in English
whose scenes are laid at the court of Charlie
