If rhlladatpblana ara not prepared to believe
tbat Mr. Boott-Hiddone U very wondarfa
otreM, it la not because professional pnffr
have not apent an extraordinary quantity o
breath In her behalf.
8ne la a ahlnlng exemplification of the pro
Terb ibat where tbere Is so moon smoke there
must be some Ore; hat the smoke bai oeeu
very great Indeed, aud the Are has been Tery
little.
Phlladelphlana appreciate good acting a
moon as the Inhabitants of any other ureal
oitydo, but I shall be surprised If I hey run
wild over Mrs. SoiiU-Slldons.as the BomonUu
have done, or if thy fill the theatre at waloii
ahe may be forluaata enough to effect an eu
f agement, aa the New Yorkers have done.
Last Friday evening Mrs. Blddoua gave her
fifth performance In this elty. 8 tie concluded
ber week with a Saturday raaliuee aud ove
nlng performances, and Is re engaged for tola
week.
A distinguished photographer has exerolael
fell nla alilll and art In placing her before too
publlo, in mualo and book.-ai.ore windows, lu
the inoHt charnalog altitude aadann toe
simplest yet most enbanclug aurrouudin.
Jler theaitloal manager has buDg up in the
Vestibule of the New York; Theatre a picture
Of Baruu Siddoua of wuoua the preheat llltl

nave bnu left untried to remind tne forgetful
public tbat a lineal dtacendant of lUegien
Blddoua Is btfore tbetn, aud thai If tuey U
not adualie her, they ought to far her uuoet
tress' sake.
But let ua approach the tragedienne (as she is
called), and see foi ourselves what sue la.
During the week, commencing last Monday
Bbe has appeared as Jo.llet," "11 jsailud," aud
"Lady Tcar.le." I choose the character of "Ldy
Teaale," in which to invite the reader to aee
ber, because the vast majority of readers are
more familiar with the character of "Ldy
Teazle" than with the Bhafceapeurlau onea o1
Rosalind" and Juliet."
Latil Thursday evenlcg the School for Scandal
was presented at the New York, belter k no ru
As the Worrell Bisters', Theatre. Tue oast was a
follows:

Five or six of these names may be familiar t
Phlladelphlana. These are Mr 8. Biddons, Mr
Davldge, Mr. J. K. Mortlmor, Mr. O. T. Para
Bloe, Mrs. WUklna, and (through the notoriety
Of the Broadway Theatre homicide) Mr. D. U.
Barklna. Of these six Mrs. Biddons, Mr.
Davit ge, Mr. Mortimer, and Mrs. Wllklna
Hone showed any merit. Of the remaining
nine of the oast, all were equal failnres. With
ti e exception of the four that we have men
tloned none of the actors gave evidence of belug
familiar with their parts. The flashes of silence
Wereaa frequent as sheet lightning; some o(
the most brilliant points were quite lost; hisses
prevailed for a short time, aud I would be
ready to swear that by the time the second act
Wi a over Mrs. Biddons could have wept those
lovely eyes of hers out with vexation.
Aa one instance of the several good points
that were utterly lost, owing to the stupidity of
the support , the reader will be pleased to re
collect the brilliant siring of repartees which
'Lady Teazle," "Sir .Peter," "Mrs. Candor,"
"Lady Sneerwell," "Sir Beojamln," and "Crab
tree" bang their tongues on In the aeooud
acene of the second act. "Lady Baeerwell" re
marks to "Blr Peter" that he 1h too phlegmatic
for a jest and too peevish to allow wit In others,
and the conversation continues thus:
tnrP Abl madam, true wit Is more nearly allied
to good nature tbau your It dytulu Is aware tit.
Zad.y 8 -True, Sir Peter. I believe they are 80
near til kin tbat ibey cau nuver be united.
At this point the reader will remember that
It Is "Blr Benjamin BackbiteV" to step In
With
"Or, rather, anppose them man and wire, be
cauhe one ao seldom sees them together."
Tblscaps the climax of the witticisms that
save been uttered, but the lnoompetent "Sir
"Benjamin" of Thursday evening, who, how
ever dull his memory .ought to have rememoered
Buch a reply from Us very point and elegance
suddenly collapsed. In vain Mrs. Biddons whls
pered the words, in vain hisses were heard
from the uppermost circle, "Sir Benjamin" re
mained In his slate of collapse, and how the
rest of the act waa proceeded with nobody
knows.
But bere have I been beating about the bush
of Mrs. Biddons' perlormauue wnnout ouoe
making at her.
Is she a good "Lady Teale"T
No.
Why not? Come, let ua have reasons, not
Vague and general dispraise.
Listen. True, "Lady leuuie" la represente 1 an
having been, previous to iter marriage wlm
"Blr Peter," a country girl. But luerw are oouu
try girls of reh'ieiueui. and my "Ldy Tort
ile," previous to ner marriage, waa uo more a
great slrapplug weucU thau re luoe eleguul
young ladies of to-day who reside at Qcriuau
town or at Chesnut 11 ill. aud are Indialiauuiau
ablelrom other elegautyouug ladies wuo nave
homes on Piue or Walnut or Hpruoe streets.
Tue more primitive aud simple hauiu of
tbat period enabled her to transact uuiieo
which have loug passed out of tue curricu
lumof the well-bred youDg women of io-dny.
Bbe was used, according to "Hir PeierV Ue
aorlption, to silting at her tamnour in a pretty
figured linen gown, with a dudgq of keys ai
ber side, her hair combed smootn over a roll,
and her apartment bun- round with fruits in
worsted of her own uiakiL'ir. Her dully ouou
nation, acoordlng to her own words, wai to
inspect the dairy, superintend tue poultry,
make exiraota Irom the lamily receipt-book,
and oomb btr aunt "Deborah's" lap uog. Hoi
evening amufcements were to draw pattern lor
ruflles. to play I'ope Joan witu the curate, ti.
read a novel to her aunt, aud to be stuox dovu
to an old spinet to strum ber falser to sleep
after a fox-ohase. From iheae tame pursuit
she was suddenly transferred into a oen'rai
position among rank, wealth, and (aablon. For
thla position she was naturally adapted, and
aix months' aoboollng In It perfected her in all
the acquirements wuion dieiioguisa the aaa
Kllng woman ot fashion.
This Idea of "Lady lenele" la what Mrs. Bid
dons did not Drtseut. If her ebaraoieriaulon
lacked many of the old traditional points, ii
presented no new oues worth meutloniuir. Her
voice 1 lined too monotonously to express all
we graceful and varying railleries wniou bei
relationship with "Blr Peier" calls forth. Hue

MLSKAL AM) DRAMATIC.
"t'Auat."
A very good performance of Oonno.'a opera
of fau( w8 alveu on Hatarday evening, and
it Is worthy of remark that tbe UeruaanM, what
ever comparisons may be made ns to their
vocal accomplishment, are Infinitely better
actors ttian the 1'nlUna. Jhe Italian opera Is
too often a mere maiter ot lunga, but the Oer
man opera generally ba brtlns la It aa well.
If Blugltjg were all ibat we attend the opera
lor, a concert performance, It seems to us, would
answer aa well. If not better; but In
tbe opera we have a right to expeot dramatlo as
well as vocal effects, and it will be unsatisfac
tory If tbe artists are not aotora aa well as
singera. Good operatlo aotiog la not ao oommon
but that we are glad to see It, even if It should
be a trifle overdone; and 11 is al ways a pleasure
for us to bear and see such performers as
Madame Rotter and Uerren Habelmann and
Hermanns, not merely on account of tnelr
trills and quavers and Intricacies of vocaliza
tion, but because Ibey endeavor to express all
that there Is In the music as an Illustration of
the characters and theme of the drama.
Madame Rotter Is not the best singer that has
appeered In I he roie of "Margaret" during the
pant two or time seasons, although ber vocal
i Sorts on Saturday entitle her to hearty corn
njtndatlou; but her perlormance, as a whole,
whs lu a high degree artistic. We might take
exception to her noting, that It was at times too
energetic; but then she really did act, did ex
press, with fidelity and Intelligence, what there
was In tbe character of "Margaret," and, like
tbe "Met hltopbeles"of Hermanns, her person
ation was not M udied merely, from the soore-
book, but from Goethe. Hermanns' "MepQls
lopl eles" was great, of course. This part he has
mt.de his own, and In ll he la unapproachable.
While ackuowltdlug the truth of the com
monly arued cbjuoUou to Hermanns that he
curries "MephUtopheles" Into everything he
does, we would not have him leis
perfect In this lor tbe sake of a possible lm.
provemtntln other roif Habelmann'a "Faust''
wuRgood, and Wllbelm F rmes appeared to
advuulage aa "Valentine." His dying soene
was fluely done, allhouga we did wonder when
he wuh goli g It make the last gasp. But, as
we before ri marked, a little too muoh acting
cau ba excused in an operatic performance.
when the singers know what they are about'
und are evidently doing tnelr best. Madame
Cellini, who undertook the part of "Slebel," was
lather overshadowed by lha Gorman singers.
Borne passages she executed creditably'
allhongh her vocalization waa rather uncertain,
and she acted not at all.
In many instances tbat which cannot be well
done bad best not be attempted. In the case
under consideration this remark will apply to
tbe tableau representing the apotheosis o
"Maigaret," with which the opera of Faus
concludes. The dirty -looking clouds painted
on tbe back or a flat, with all the framework in
sight, aie not calculated to leave a favorable
imprtBtlon on the minds of an Intelligent au
oience at the conclusion of a performance
Bnch a shabby affair as the tableau exhibited
on fcaturday night would bring discredit
on a third-class theatre, aud It was
dlegracelul at such an establishment as the
Academy of Music. We have also to take ex
ception to the dungeon scenes exhibited last
week. In Jl Trovatore and Vidclio the fiats set
for tbe dungeons were' painted to represent the
corridors of a castle with a court-yard attached.
where tbe prisoners might step out aid get the
fiei-h air whenever they ft.lt Inclined; and In
ITtiust we were treated with tbe upeotaole of
"Margaret" Immured In a dlsmal-looklng
place enough, but with a gallery adjolulng It
wbere she could xofim at ber own sweet
will, with no one to interfere In case ahe
should conclude to climb over tha railing and
tukke her escape.
We bave no disposition to be hypercritical,
but such matters us tnese are not trivial or
unimportant. As we have more than ouoa
remarked, the success of tbe Opera liouffe was
In a great measure due to the care and good
luste displayed lu putting tbe pieces on tbe
stage. Every detail or hceuery, costume, and
appt'iulment was attended to; aud the mana"
gers of the grand opera might take a number o
hints from these much abused burlesques
which would be of advantage to Ihemselvea and
the public.
A rcpos of matters to be raeoded, tbe follow
ing, from tbe Prtxtot thla morning, ao entirely
coincides with our own Ideas, tbat we quote It
at length In preference to giving remarks of
our own:
"We bave been several times requested to
call attention to tbe great annoyance oauicd by
hoys selling librettos in the opera. Not oal
lire ihtlr shrill orlea dtsagreeab e and distract

seated by us, who held a libretto In his band,
a 8 Importuned five several limes to pa roll ana
another, and on remarking that he had a oopv.
was told, 'You halnl got this oue, tnouh.'
We know by experience that Ibey often charge
blaher thau tbe fixed price, and seldom have
cbaiiue. The whole system isadisrace toevt ry
uiauBaement, and could Mr. Maretzek realize
tbe coinnlalut to whUfti it gives rise, he
would do away with ll. A stand outside

really wan'ed them, where ch tnije could be given
