man, whose genius and brilliancy at once
commanded attention. Although at the

mark and became the dramatic lion of the
hour. Narcisse" was the play i'll which
he first appeared in California, and in that
he had his greatest triumph. Since then
he has all but obliterated the accent from
his speech, has broadened his art, enlarged
his capacity, and has played upon the chief
stages of Europe and America, and attained
enviable rank in his profession. Mr. Daniel
