SIGNOR SALVINI.
LAST NIGHT HIS FIRST APPEARANCE
IN RICHMOND.
otheiio the Pert Played by Him. and the
Academy of Music the
Place.

The performance at the Academy last
night was in many respects one OF the
most notable Of the winter-a great TRACE
dian played his greatest role.
The play was Othello, and Of all of the
thirty-six plays of the great Bard of Avon
there is no one that is more powerful than
this tragedy. II is a magnificent picture
of Jealousy and love, envy and intrigue.
The dramatic plot is framed in rich and
beautiful word-setting, and the entire
work sparkles with incisive and powerful
epigTains.
The two great characters of the play,
Othello and Iago, are contrasted IN way
that marks the hand of the master. SO
powerfully Is each character drawn that
Shakspearlan critics have never been able
TO determine which is the stronger part,
and that great actors are also divided In
opinion as to their merits is evident from
the fact that Of the two colossi Of the mo-
dern stage one edwin BOOTH plays Iago,
the other (Tomaso Salvini). plays Othello.
sALvrYi's oTHELLo.
Salvini is unquestionably the greatest
Othello of this day, and his Othello Is his
greatest character. His Othello is yell
low-skinned Moor, luxuriant of gesture
and expression. brave as alion, yet timid as
q woman in his love, an enemy to fear, a
friend to admire-in short type OF the
grand race that built the Alhambra
and gave to Southern Europe much ex-
quisite literature. As Othello the great
Italian displays a tragic quickness and
grasp, an intensity and force of expression,
that mark the presence of great genius.
The earnestness with which each syllable
is uttered impress those who listen with
the belief that. for the time, he is Othello.
In the speech TO the DOge, the rebuke OF
Cassie, and the death-scene, he developed
all the majesty Of the character. While in
the scene with Iago, where jealousy. is
awakened, and the last scenes with Desde-
mona and Emilia, his dramatic and pathetic
voicing affected the listeners to tears. lie
masteriul, faithful depicture of one
that lov'd not wisely, but too WELL"
SPEAKS IN ITALIAN.
Signor Salvini speaks his lines in the
italian language. But even this cannot
obscure MS genius 10 the most ignorant,
and to those familiar with the play is q
matter of small moment. His intOnation,
his expression, his gesticulation. are 80 IN
dicative of the text that his speaking in q
| foreign tongue is in a manner lost sight OF.
Sgnor Salyini is supported by an excel
lent company. Mr.. Malone as 1ago, Miss
BROOKLYN as Desdemona, and Mr.. Hender-
son as Cassie delineated their respective
r6les admirably.
CHILD OF NAPLES.
Tonight Mr.. Alexander Salvini the
worthy son Of his illustrous father, will
