is name that has filed large place in
modern dramatic history The lady has
served many years upon the stage but to
these latest days preserves the chief ele-
ments of her power and possesses the abil-
lty to enchaIn the attention of the auditor
by direct appeals to the intellectual sense
The freshness of youth is no longer hers,
TO be sure, but the ripeness of years has not
lessened the cunning of her art, though it
may have diminished her vivacitv.
1t stands undenied that. despite SOME
mannerisms and some faults of stvle,
Janauschek is a mistress in the realm OF
the drama. She stands to the forefront as
one of the leading opponents of the ORA
matte art, and as a striking example of the
devotion of genius to it. The best years OF
her life has been laid upon its altar. and
the sacrifice has not been without its
| reward. Janauschek may or may not have
laid up store of worldly treasure, but she
has an imperishable treasure in the history
OF the stage, in the making of which she
has played so conspicuous part. She is
one of the few conscientious actresses who
have upheld and done honor to an art
that has been the victim of so many efforts
to degrade it, to reduce it to the level OF
mere spectacle, and 10 make it panderer
| to vulgar tastes. The play last night-ad-
mlrably presented-was the comedy drama
My Life" and was witnessed by large
| and intelligent audience. Madame Janau-
schek was ably supported by the
finished actors, George D. Chaplin, James
Garden and A. H. Stuart, gentlemen thor
| oughly competent. The two former are
| well known here B. w. Turner. a new
| face, proved to be competent support as
also Miss Leigh and Miss Lyster, both new
people. Miss Nelson and Messrs. Conner
| and Fisher completed the list of the thor
| oughly good support. Janauschek had a
| dual part. In these she has achieved some
OF her chief successes, and appears to pre-
fer them. She was called before the
| curtain last evening and given the
| cordial Endorsement of sincere applause
The play of last evening, which is as
| thoroughly sensational as could be desired,
will be given at the matinee this afternoon.
| 1t involves very intricate story, relieved
| by touches OF humor and flashes of wit,
| and with enough of the tragic in it to
afford Madame Janauschek broad oppor-
tunltv, while it presents her at her best in
| dialect part. Tonight Janauschek will
appear in the great historical character OF
Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots" and to-
| morrow night in the Venetian tragic drama
of g Zillah, the Fortune-T Teller" 1t NAV

each occasion will be well filed, as il
should be in recognition of eminent talent
