Under the direction OF Rosenfeld Bros.
Adele Sandrock. q German actress Of the So
called emotional school. made her first APP
pearance before an American audience at the
Academy OF Music last night A very
large audience was present and testified its
appreciation OF her at times powerful acting
by generous applause and numerous floral
gifts. Fri Sandrock was somewhat ham
pered by lack Of good and oven support, but
more especially by tho utter unntness Of tho
house for tho representation Of a domestic
drama. The immense stage interfercd with
the action OF tho play. and the actress
| and her company. unused to such a
vast auditorium. failed to make themselve
heard beyond the immediate vicinity of the
stage whenever they ceased decaiming: in
other words tho quiet passages were entirely
shorn OF their effect. The drama entitled
Eva" which this actress male choice OF Tor
her debut. belongs to the ill-tasting and
unwholesome French school. and Fri
Sandrock. though she makes valiant ef-
fort, Is unable to draw the sympathy
OF her audience upon her. Az Era she is the
daughter Of Count Uiiren Herr Weiser,. who
