Lawrence Barrett's Farewell.
New York Sun. March Is.

As the season of the Booth Barrett Company
at the Broadway approaches its end there il
better evidence that the public do not intend to
neglect these performances-the last in may be,
wherein Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett
shall appear jointly. Next year will find them
journeying apart Booth for . tour of only i've
months duration, and Barrett with his own
company on . much longer trip. The Broad
ways audiences last week had gain in size, no
less than in enthusiasm. The familiar plays
were acted with vigor by both stars. and the
general representation was artistic, careful and
effective. The engagement has now only two
weeks to run, and the advance signs are such as
make certain brilliant finish of this notable
visit

THE RACE OF TRAGEDIANs DYING
OUT.

The death of Lawrence Barrett is really
. national loss since is leaves on the
American stage but single man of the
first rank. While Barrett never attained
the first place in his art, remaining always
second to Edwin Booth, he was easily in
the same class. And in this position these
two have long been far removed from
rivalries. To the next rank of actors it
has been q long step and even in this class
the names are few, limited in fact to two
Frederick Warde and Thomas Keene.
While both are notable, neither has the
combination of native gifts and fine
scholarship essential to histrionic great
ness. OF the two, Warde is unquestion-
ably the more talented man. He has the
appearance, the voice and the physical force
of fine actor, as he certainly is,
but he is neither by temperament nor habit
= studious man and is lacking in scholar
ship and in its refinements Naturally
much better endowed than Barrett, he
might have surpassed him but has been
content to adopt the robust" style and
neglect the artistic subtilty for which that
style provides an easier substitute. Warde
is still young, in the neighborhood of
forty, and since the first place on the
American stage is easily in his grasp, if he
chooses to work for it, he may settle HIM
self down to work and make what he has
the ability to make, really great actor.
Keene, by far more devoted to the
studies of his profession than Warde, has
far less native capability and has unques-
tionably attained his highest possible
merit. He will always rank IS thrilling
actor, but not as great one. Below them
are host of third-rate men, like Robert
Downing, but in the list there is not q
man who gives promise of more than q
commonplace career.
The death of Barrett leaves Booth pitt
fully alone. For many years his only pro-
fessional associate has been Barrett, and
of late they have appeared only in COM
pany with each other. Without Bar
rett. Booth will be without his
other and lesser half. He is now
fifty-eight, and prematurely old. Within a
year he has twice suffered from nervous
pIOSbi0tAOA anu tACIC has OcSfl SuCu q uc-
cline in his work as shows him to be the
victim of gradual physical degeneration.
1t is not probable that he will for great
whileremain regular worker in the pro-
fession.
The failure Of the American theater to
produce worthy successors to the great
men who in the past have trodden its
boards, and whose race seems about to die
out, is easily explained. High-class acting
is no longer the fashion. In the most
cultivated of our cities '.farce-comedy''
with a pair of trick dogs and a
trained jackass will draw bigger ''busi-
ness" than Hamlet" or ''She Stoops to
Conquer" The drama has come to be
merely the amusement business" and it
has no higher aim than to make fun.
There are few actors and a few theaters
which keep up the old standard. but they
are very few. 1t is fighting against fate to
hold out for the legitimate drama at a
time when dancing Spanish courtesan
will attract more people than Edwin
Booth in Shakespeare's great play.

followed to its ultimates would exclude
pious male no less than female Nethodists,
and would abolish the conferences. For
it is neither shown nor intimated that
either Nn. Stanton. or the skeptical critics
OF biblical lore, or any Of the scofers were
or pretended to be pious Methodist women.
It Is presumable, however, that mono but
pious Methodist women, such 8 partake
of the sacraments, and compose the larger
part Of the congregations, and of attend
ants at prayer meetings and class meet
ings, and are the more numerous, conspic-
nous and jealous participants in the Sum
day-school, missionary and charitable
work of the church, are of the class who
alone aspire to membership in the confer
enccs.
But by the above learned argument Of
reverend gentlemen, presumably trained
in the arts of ratiocinations, these good
women are to be judged and ostracised be-
cause of utterances for which they were in
no wise responsible, and no doubt heartily
condemn. Are these logicians not aware
that there is an Ingersoll Of their own sex,
with q multitudous following of male
disciples, who habitually breaches sermons
with no Christ IN them" except it be by
way of derision, and who habitually attack
the Scriptures and dispute the biblical ac-
count of creation? If it be logical to ex-
clude pious Methodist women because Of
Mrs. Stanton and her followers, why not
exclude pious Methodist men because OF
Ingersoll and his followers?
But on this subject the Ch-istian Aduo-
cate, national organ Of the church, is no
less illogical and far more rabid 1t cites
the recognition of slavery in the federal
constitution. and the licensing of liquor
selling, as illustrations of the effects to be
apprehended from admitting holy women
into the conferences. That these have no
relevancy whatever is obvious to the COM
monest understanding. The one and only
pertinent illustration would have been to
show evil effects from admitting woman
where she has been admitted, to equal
membership in the church and its auxil-
liary agencies, and to equal participation
in its educational, missionary and charit-
able work.
When the Advocate declares that their adj
mission to the conferences would .'disinte-
crate" the church, it conveys the impress
sion to illogical mind, not otherwise i'm
formed in the premises, that in the
branches of church work to which they
have been admitted the effects have been
male6ceht. OF course these are questions
for the Methodists to settle among them
selves. but American love of fair play can
not resist an impulse to claim that if the
women are to be beaten it shall be result
OF arguments that will bear analysis; not
by Furnishing pious women for the deeds
or utterances Of the impious, nor by plac-
ing devoted religious women on q plane
with slavery and intemperance.
