MoDJEsKA.
An immense audience greeted Modieska at
Carll's Opera House last evening. Nearly
every seat in the parquette and parquette
circle was taken and all the best seats in the
dress circle were occupied Modieska in
Gas You Like IT, makes an admirable Rosa
lind. That she is 'intuitively an artist is
amply evident in her rendering of the charae-
ter. Ease, grace, animation, vivacity and an
exquisite portrayal of the finer shades of
emotion characterized her acting and won
the admiration of the most critical. Where
is there nicer adaptation of means to end,
where more faultless tact in carrying out
the dictates of taste, where more ease and
grace, more dizziness, delicacy and eloquence
of every active pose and expression than in
Modjeska, and where in her various poctrayals
more than in Resalind? She shows both the
true artist and capicity to execute the imper-
sonation she has in hand. In each of her
roles she is original and her personality and !
individuality permeate her impersonation, |
whether in the lighter, or the more heroic |
and tragic characters. Modjeska held the |
close attention of her large audience by the |
potency of her talents last evening and won |
frequent tributes to her powers. Four times |
she was called before the curtain. Nodes |
ka's Rosalind was one of the most enjoyable |
events of the entertainment season. Her |
support was good.
