THE DAIL1 EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OOTO.BEIjO, 1868. 5 MUSICAL AM) DRAMATIC Iolta n Flre-lly." It is scarcely to bo wondered at that the lvely little actress now performing at the Aroh should be popular. She Is so pretty and childish ooklnp, so vivacious, so kittenish In all her ways, that she carries the sympathies of her audience with her, in spite of the fact thit her capers cannot properly be con'i irred as acting in any acknowledge ! sense of the word. Lotta's trong point is kicking her hecli, and when she kicks her heels sue always brings down the house. What would be vulgar iu another actress is in her case laughublo and amusing; she can smoke a clear, play on the banjo, beat the drum, dance a breakdown, sine a little, and is proficient in divers other accomplishments too numerous to mention, but when it conies to stamping one of herrM-laced boots on the stage with an air of command or deflnc, or caMlng a pigeon wing. Which she dm: 9 sotiiC dozen or two times, more or less, iu every act, she In in her glory, nn I her audience is happy. The question nilnht reasonably be asked, Why should this ay, dashing little woman trouble herclf about art, when she is sure of pleasing tbo public and fill ing the thectre night alter night with the uon scnsical antics she Is such a pert' 'ct mistress of And yet wo would like to see Lotta seriously attempt come good part, and play it a weil as she is able, for we believe that she has ctipublll ties which as jet ate undeveloped, and we do not believe that ber popularity would be dimin ished in the least if the would endeavor to do soruetblng really artistic. Mr. Edmund Falconer's drama of Firefly which was produced last night, is an adaptation of "Oulda's" novel of ' Under Two Flags," anl wo have sufficiently characterized it when wo any that the play Is every way as absurd as the story. The dramatist, however, has accom plished his object in giving Lotta a part ia which sho has ample opportunities to show off her peculiar fascinations and which kecpiher almost constantly before the audience. The plot is very slight, aud not very important, although the dramatUt has managed to stretch out to five sets what might easily have been told in three i at the most. An English gentleman of noble family, "Harold Cecil," is unjustly suspected of the crime of forsrery. aud to escape from disgrace he leaves bis own country and goes to Algiers, where he enlists as a private in the French army. For some reason, not clearly explained, he Manages to incur the hatred of the colonel of hia regiment, and he also wlus the affections of "Fire fly," the vlrandiere. 'Harold," however, loves a noble English lady, who discovers him in his disguise, and as the reciprocates his affection, the poor little Tivandiere, ol course, la in a very bad way about it. "Harold" falls into a trap set for him by the "Colonel," and is sentenced to bs shot for a breach of discipline: and "Fire-fly" exerts himself to save him and obtains a pardon, fehe arrives with the lmportaut document just as "Harold" is about to be executed, and throw8 herself between him and the muskets levelled at his breast, (she rec?ives the bullets in her own heart, and dies at his feet. This tragic ending, to our mind, spoils the picco, and we think it would be more satisfactory, and every way as effective, if "Fire-fly" could be permitted to save her own life and her friend's, too, by a very light alteration In the denouement of the piece. The play, in spite of its faults, is lively, with plenty of action and any amount of broadsword combats, musketry discharges, aud other ex citing incidents of like character. Some of the tableaux are very effective, and as it is wel acted and well placed upon the stage it goes off With much spirit and amid the heartiest applause. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity last evening, and the performance was a decided (success, Inasmuch as everybody teemed pleased, lotta's performance did not present any new features, and as "Fire-fly" she was essentially the same as she is in everything else. In the sentimental passages she did not appear to the tame advantage as she did in those where she could give a free rein to her spirit of fun and frolic, fust as her "Little Hell" ia Inferior to her "M archloness." The last named she could make a really fine part if she would study Dickens, try to act it, and try to forget Lotta. That she will do this, and endeavor to made an artist of herself, we doubt; but we do not doubt that she would advance her reputation thereby, and make her performances every way more worthy of applause. The elfish creation of Dickens is in every way suited to her abilities, and it is worthy of ber best efforts. Mr. Brougham's dramatization, however, is not the best that might be made, and not the least of its faults it that it encourages, rather than restrains, Lotla't extravagances. We feel a sincere interest in this little actress, and we say thus much because we would like to have her make ber mark in a way that would entitle her to the best praises we have to bestow. K. I Davenport as "Hamlet." Mr. E. L. Davenport received a very cordial welcome at the Walnut Street Theatre last evening, and he gave an unusually fine person ation oi "Hamlet." Mr. Davenport is certainly one ol the most versatile and accom plished actors on the American stage. In tragedy, comedy, and melo-drama he is eqvally at home, and whatever character he undertakes he glve3 it an individuality which marks it as a work of refined and intellectual art. We have been astonished at times to see how Mr. Davenport will sink his owu individu ality, and tecome absorbed In the character he undertakes to represent, and appearing as he does sometimes in two entirely different roles in 1 the same evening, he contrives to chinga hit A whole personal appearance and facial expres. sion so as to sink the actor completely, mere are some performers on the 6tage who have this power in a limited degree, and in one or two narts thev are pre-eminent; but with Mr. liMTBnoort every role is elaborated with the same conscientious fidelity, and in the particular point we have named we think tnat lie is wttn nut a rival. Mr. Davenport's "namlet" we have seen many times, and always with pleasure, and, without un.rftoinfr the merits of other actors who have rained celebrity in the same role, we have hppn Inclined to give it a very high tdace in our regards as an artistic, scholarly, Jnd satisfactory representation of the most subtle and difficult rolt that can be taken up by .MAr. There is a sustained excel- enVe 7about Mr. Davenport's "Hamlet" that Amends It to the dramatic connoisseur as well .rt c,..v.rPrlan student, and at an inter- reta ion o lhe hidden meaning of the tragedy re" . M.u inilcht which is as rare as it ; (f V liiucv m w commendable. at the Cliesunt. Tue IUaloM certainly get up a very attractive exhibition, and In their particular line theyaro nnrlvalled by any performers now before the Amc erican public. The case and grace with which their feats of skill and daring are executed obviate the idea of danger in the minds of the audience, and even in the most perilous acts we feel certain tbat the performers will come safely to their feet again. The Kussiatt athlete Pfau's trapeze performances are won derful, and ' the boys Victor, Julian, and Francois are aho interesting. One of the new features of the entertainment Is the veloci pede evolutions of William and Frederic Hanlon. These vehicles are all tho rage now In Paris, and there is some talk about introducing them iu this country. The Hanlons show how they are managed, but we aro afraid that umiteur ventures in the samo way would result In numerous overturns before the same skill could be acquired. The entertainment is agreeably varied by the musical performances cf Miss Emily Thome, bttlladiHt, Mr. Jame Bluoiphin, harpUt, and Mr. A. II. ibedgwick, concertina player. The City Ainincmonli.
