MRS. LAXGTRY.

As was expected, there was q large and
fashionable audience at the Crawford
Grand last night TO see Mr.. Langry. To
see her rather than TO see Lena Despard IN
AS in Looking Glass" appeared from
the many comments made her personal
appearance aud the comparatively few
upon her artistic powers, was what drew
the people That Mrs. Langtry IS a
charming woman who displays IN an en-
aently successful manner most gorgeous
and elegant costumes every one will Ger
tainly admit, but to maintain that she Is a
great actress her most ardent admirers
would hardly attempt In the first three
acts of the play she appeared 10 the best
advantage, for TO do the beautiful woman
of the world Is much better suited TO her
ability than anything else. In the last two
acts, to portray the Lena Despard OF
Mr., Phillips novel, a wayward gIrl who Is
torn with passion and remorse, requires
woman OF a far different type than Mrs.
Langtry-a Nine Bernhardt or a Clara
Morris. Her company, though not large,
was very good Mr.. Coghlau played Cap
tain Fortinbras exceedingly well, and
Mr. Frederick Everill deserves commenda-
ton for his superior Interpretation of the
character of Count Drominoff.
EMMA JUCH.
\ recent review of one of her successes is
evidence OF her popularity. The Rutland,
Vt, Herald says: Miss Emma Juch made
her first appearance before a Vermont au-
dience in that beautiful scene and aria
from Der Freischutz" VIE Nahte Mir
der Schlummer" The audience was at
first inclined to be cold, but scarcely had

full voice died out before her auditors were
her willing slaves, enthralled by the
charm of voice whose fascination can be
felt but not described one of those rare
voices that move the soul. Round, full
and majestic, powerful, warm and reSOn-
ant, of great compass, sweet, rich aud

gence. pure method, a thorough knOwl-
edge of her own powers, 3 superb tech

graceful and queenly stage presence, and
1t IS not surprising that Miss juch last
evening scored the greatest musical trI-
umph ever made in Vermont Her render
ing of the Won Weber selection was SUI
perb in every detail and three times she
returned 70 the stage TO acknOw ledge the
enthusiastic ourbursts OF applause and
braves it invoked. A fourth time she ap-

can know what exquisite sweetness, SIM

OF her singing Of the beautiful air, and no
words could do &c justice,

1t must be admitted that Ia Fri Adele

moment one OF the most surprisingly tai
euted and skillfuI piauis.s that has been
heard here for years. She surprised and
delighted her audience with her splendid
impetuosity. her wonderful strength. her
marvellous technique, her bright, easy con
fidence and safety, and she was declared
victress before she had played the first
number OF LISTS eapricious- fantastic
