A RACY CRITIQUE.
Wfe Iarn-Mfnken-nnftii.?rw
UDnB.IlrowB m Maaeppa, or tfaa
Wild Ilorao of Tartar."
From the Tribune.
To announca that Ml?s Adah Isaac MonKon
would appear at tho Broadway Theatre in the
character of "Mazeppa," was to anuounce that a
woniaD would exhibit herself, in public, in a
condition closely bordering upon nudity: and
ucn an announcement, ot course, waa calcu
lated to draw together an immense concourse of
spectators. Such a concourse jrrccted Miss
Menken's first fappearance last evening. The
Broadway Thoatro it as densely crowded. The
audience, composed chlcflv of malos, waa tho
coarsest and most brutal assembly that we have
ever chanced to see at a theatre on Broadway.
Every variety of dissolute life was represented
In it. The purplo nos, the 6corbutio counte
nance, the glassy eye. the bull-head, the heavy
lower (aw, the aspect of mingled lewdness and
lerocity all was there.
Youths whoso attire exhibited an eruptive
tendency towards cheap iewelry, lolled upon
their seats, champlnp tobacco, and audibly ut
tering their filthy minds. Old sports were abun
dant. Tne atmosphere fairly reeked with vul
garity. Long before the curtain rose, the gal
leries resounded with the clumor of the pods.
Kemarks of a character complimentary to Tony
Pastor were frequently audible. Siwb whs the
audience to whom tho stalwart proportions of
Miss Menken were duly exhibited. It is un
necessary to say that tho spectacle was cor
dially applauded. To spctik ot Miss M. nken as
an actress would be to waxto words. She has
not the taintest idea of what aotinrr is. She
moves about the ataire with no motive, and
tticreiore, in a kind of accidental manner: as
sumes attitudes that are sometimes Hue
and sometimes ridiculous; speaks in a
thin, weak voico, and with bnd elocu
tion; exclaims "death I" and "vengeance!"
very much as a mild and hunirry temale
might ordertea and toast; uud. in short, invites
critical attention, not to her emotional capabili
ties, her intellectual uilts, or her culture as an
artist, but solely to her physical proportions.
These, we may as well say, at once to have
done wiih a trilling topic-are, in many respects,
beautiful. That any purpose connected with dra
matic art is served by their public exhibition,
however, wo fail to perceive. That such an ex
hibition is ollcnsivo to good tunto. we
are distinctly certain. Miss Menken's praises
as an actress have been loudly sounded; but if
artistic greatness is to be acquired by such
means as Miss Menken has chosen tor its pur
suit, thero would stein to be no ood reason
why the majority of females extant should not
acquire it, if so disposed. To be a f.odiva, at
least, in external attributes, requires only effron
tery on the part of handsome women-ot whom
there appears to be no dearth in any community.
Yet we do not, quite yet, look to see the stae
swarming with Maztppas. If Miss Menken serves
no other useful purpose, she will at least warn
hor professional observers what to avoid It
would be unjust to leave this topic without
temarkiug that Miss Menken evinced not a little
daring tn what we may describe as the horse
scene.
The horse, liist evening, was remarkably
spirited, and, as he dashed up the circuitous de
file, with the woman bound upon his back pre
sented a lively spectacle of energy, courage, and
danger. In reitrence to the piece-which is
styled "Mazeppa; or, The Wild Horse of Tar
tary" we must be content briefly to say that it
is unmitigated trash. Byron's poem-by no
means one ot that poet's happiest inspirations
is its basis; but through the mass of silliness aud
verbiage with which it is overlaid, one catches
but a laint glimpse of the Byronic original. The
characters subsidiary to that of Mazeppa were
represented in that uniformly unpleasant man
ner for which the theatrical company at the
Broadway Theatre has long been distinguished.
ilazeppa will be performed every night until
iurther notice. If we have succeeded in sug
gesting the character of the performance, our
readers will not need to be informed that we
cannot and do not commend it. Tho appearance
of Miss Menken's "Mazeppa" at a theatre on
Broadway is nothing less than a grievous discre
dit to the acted drama in this metropolis.
The Menken ns "Mazeppa."
From the N. Y, Wtn-ld of yesterday.
The Broadway Theatre was on Monday even
ing filled to an extent that ought not to be
allowed by the authorities in whom the indi
vidual citizen places his hopes of comfort and
protection. Tne audience was composed almost
entirely ot men who came singly, in pairs, and
in squads, and lit in the auditorium like bo
many thousand crows on a circumscribed corn
field. The rural districts were well represented
in the dusky throng. The sporting world lent
its lights, and the eround-swell heaved up its
quota, "i-'ast life" was represented by parties
who aj vet have not "died voung," and there
fore have lost their only golden opportunity of
lining so. "Knights of the Green Cloth" occu
pied reserved places, and attracted attention.
Youth edged in beside old age aud its varied
elephantine experience. The army, the navy
the CuLtom House, tne Police Department, and,
for aught that we can say to the contrary, the
Board of Good Health were severally, colleo
tively, and largely represented. The gathering
was at the bidding ot Miss Adah Isaacs Menken
lately returned from the London Circus,
where her nightly career ae "Mazeppa" has
given to her name a notoriety second
only, perhaps, to that of Lord Byron's fabled
equestrian hero. The gelding drama of Mazeppa
ought, proneily, to be criticized by the turf
editors of the daily press, whose knowiedije of
thorongh-breds would be valuable on certain
prominent points in the action. We shall not
refer to a topic so foreign to our province. Of
Miss Menken it behooves us to report briefly.
fche 1. oks well, is superbly iormed, and knows
how to defeat a valiant supernumerary in a san
guinary broadsword combat. Her spring
iashions are simple and inexpensive consisting
of a suit of flesh-tinted tights, an infantine un
dergarment, many, very many sizes too small
for her majestic form, about twenty cents' worth
of fringe and, nothing else. For summer wear
uch a toilette Is probably not without its a I
vantaaes. The insulliclcncy of the infant garb
referred to was made conspicuously manifest
during the second act- and the accident (?) (we
are bound to report the truth, though the
copper-laced type blushes at the statement),
created undue mirth Joined with applause. So,
too, did certain atrociously vulgar double en
tendre. As an exhibition of physical beauty, the
spectacle of Mazejipa is a success. As a drama
well, there is no danger of its being mistaken
for one. The horses Introduced are worthy of
compliment the company, of the hearty cou
tempt of every lover ef "English and mauueis
undefined.
Miss Menken is to appear for twenty-three
consecutive nights, and at a matinee every
Saturday. J
Inhabitants of "the Pink Region" as En
CCBeb. A Mobile (Ala.) reporter has the fol
lowing account of two countrymen from the
pine reaioii, who recently visited that citv:
"Stopping in front of Jenkins restaurant, and
eyeing the green turtle shell at ttie door pretly
sharply one of them roinarked to the other:
" 'lull, wasn't that a whoppin' big gopher T
' 'We i it was ; but I don't oelieve it was a gopher.'
replied Bill. r
" 'What do you think it was, then?' inquired the
first speaker.
" -I thin, it was a tarrapin,' answered the second.
"At this stage of the conversation we thought we
would enlighten 'the gentleman fiom the interior,
and told bun that it was a green turtle. Our kind
Bees waa met by another question :
" Well, stranger, tell me, do tbey ketch them sort
about here with a hook and line? ' "
Half a Million of Artists in Italy. By the
recent statistics of the Kingdom of Italy, it has
been proved that no less than 634,485 of its in
habitant are artists, of whom 407,722 are men
and UU.763 women. In explanation of this Im
mense number, it must be remembered that all
tradespeople whose occupations tend to the
adomiug and embeilisniujj of either a house or
an individual, do not scruple to class their trade
with this comprehensive title thus, gilders and
Jeweller call themselves artists.

The lsrge working capital reserved will enable the
