At the Theatre.
MINISTRIES


Cleveland's consolidated minstrels
gave satisfactory entertainment
to large audience at Harper's theatre
last night. The frat part was new and
elaborate, about $4,000 worth of rich
hangings and gorgeous Venetian cos>
tunes being displayed. The jokes and
songs were new:aud enjoyable. Hughey
Daugherty was inimitably funny; Billy
Emerson sang as he alone can. and the
Egyptian phalsnx displayed series of nils
itary manoenvers revealing novel pre-
cislon in the war implements of the past
century. but there was not enough of it
There were other features which served
their purpose. and the concluding feats
of the imperial Japanese troupe were the
most remarkable and daring that have
been seen here before. the bamboo lad
der act being particularly thrilling.
The great Mime Janauschek, who is
the greatest living tragic actress of the
day, has been secured for representa-
ton here of her great romantic drama,
Meg Merrilies," on Saturday evening
The superlative greatness of this most
| wonderfully gifted woman is so far above
criticism that language is bankrupt in
| words TO express the subtle grandeur of
her finished art-so marvelously natural
in every detail that the pen but weakly
essays description of her performances
Her many and prolonged engagements in
Boston. Philadelphia, San Francisco,
Chicago. New York ami Detroit have
risen To tue rank of unhisputod triumph 3
and ovations never yet equaed in the
annals of the profession. During her re-
cent remarkably successful engagement
at the Grand opera house in New York,
the conservative Tribune said
In her portrayal of character she trans
lates the audience from reality To the
ideal One does not seem to see the
character as piece of acting but To see
the character itself. Her acting is An in
| spiration-a revelation. She moulds her
characters as potter would a vessel OF
clay. She seems to hold the character in
her hands and So fully to dominate it. 50
completely to permeate it. that it be-
comes an inspired creation. In all the
conflicting emotions of part she is true
to lofty ideal. She does not convey the
sense OF deep passion by incoherent gusts
of words; but rather by curbed volcano
of feeling which permeates her through
and through, and by some subtle magnet-
ism is impaired in tingllng sensations to
those who see and hear her. She dis
plays sublimity of dramatic power such
as is rarely seen on any stage completely
and entirely filling and embodying all the
roles she assumes. She is indeed the
greatest living actress of the age.
