There is talk of a testimonial to that
great actress, Francesca Romano Mag
oalena Janauschek. who was prominent
on the English-speaking stage in America
from the fall of 1870 until a few years
ago; who in her prime swayed thousands
by the force of her genius, and ranked in
the esteem of the great multitude of &C.
casional playgoers in American cities.
those good folks who never visit the play-
houses except to see some famous star
whose influence they believe to be edu-
cational as well as aesthetic, with Booth.
Charlotte Cushman and Joseph Jefferson.
Mime. ~Janauschek will finish her seyentv-
fourth year next May. She has long been
out OF the sight of influential ~aygoe
and to be out Of sight with an amateur
is to be out Of mind. She is poor and
feeble. Certainly the American ueop,e
owe some tribute to her, and as certainly
they will pay it with enthusiasm If the
opportunity is properly offered to them.
In an editorial in the Arena for Febru-
ary. entitled The Stage OF Yesterday and
To-day" b. O.. Flower holds that the
American stage now boasts as large a
number of promising young actors and
actresses as at any time in its history,
/ while he claims that the general charac-
ter of dramatic performances as to uni
form excellence of the actors. etc, shows
a great advance over the performances OF
a generation ago. Nor is our stage as
weak as those who mourn the poverty OF
dramatic genius in these degenerate days
