MIMICAL AM) BKAMATIU
ftrn. D. P. Dower tin' Donna Dlnnn.'
Mr. Westland Marston's adaptation of the old
classical Spanish comedy which was performed
lMt evening at the Walnut, under the title of
Love' Masquerade, call to miod HUakespoare's
Much Ado About Nothing, at least no far as the
leading obaraoters are conoerned. And It Is not
ULilnterestlog to note bow two. nearly contem
porary dramatists have elaborated the same
Idea. In ftbakespeare's comedy the plot tnrns
on the Intrigue of "Don John," and his false
accusation of "Hero;" but "Beatrice" and
"Benedick," who are merely secondary, so fir
as the plot is concerned, are made the prluclpal
personages In the play, and Shakespeare, after
bis usual manner, ha subordinated his
plot te his characters. In the Spanish comedy,
however, the plot is an essential, and there
are no characters, In the Shakespearian sense
of tbe word. "Donna Dlaua" end "Don CiHar"
are conventional types rather than Individuals,
and tbe Spanish princess boar only so much
resemblance to Shakenpeare's witty heroine
that she rails at marriage aud lives to repent of
It, Bbakespeare's poverty of Invention is
shown by his employing the same somewhat
transparent device to entrap both the hero and
heroine, bnt with the .Spanish dramatist the
Intrigue is all-important, and the interest of
the play is maintained by the plots and coun
terplots by which the principal personages seek
to circumvent each other.
"Donna Diana," is not a gay.laughter lovln?
and sharp tongned woman llko "Beatrice," but
she Is a haughty Spanish beauty, who, bavin
been deceived by suitors who aspired to posses
her wealth and her principality rattier than her
self, disdains all mankind, esteems love a cheat
and delusion, and determines to keep her fa'.e
and fortune In her own hands, by living a life
of single blessedness. "Don Cieiar," ardent m
a lover, Is advised by "Perln" her oonQdeullal
socrelary, to asyjme a disdain supreme to her
own, and thns oonquer her pride and win her
love. The shifts and tnrns by whtoh this resnl
Is brought about make the substance of the
play; and the lady's struggles between pride
and love, and the gentleman's almost InefToo
tuallefTorts toaflect an air of philosophical In
difference which he does not feel, give rise to
a number of exceedingly effective Js'iua.
lions. A scene in the second act, where
'Dlana" betrays "Don Ccosar" Into a declara
tion, of love only to repudiate him, and then
almost tlnUs with rage and mortification when
be remembers 'Perin's" admonitions, and
estlngly declares he In only aotlug tbe part of
a lover at her own request; Is admirable. We
consider Lovt's Masquerade as one of the best
and most entertaining comedies that has been
given to the English-speaking strge of late
years, ani we only wonder that It Is not oftener
represented, as we never yet saw an audience
that did not enjoy It heartily. The burden of
the acting rests upon the representatives ot the
three leading characters, and if these are rea
sonably competent a satisfactory performance
Is assured. The half dozen subordinate charac
ters serve merely to nil up tbe scene, and do
not make any great demands In the way of
acting, so that it does not materially damage
the play as a whole If thoy are not given In first
rate style.
"Donna Diana" Is one of Mrs. Bowers' very
best personations. The part Is admirably
suited to her style of acting; It calls for the ex
pression of very varied emotions, and it affords
ample opportunity for the display ot the high
est order of talent. Mrs. Bowers' performance
last evening was exceedingly good, and the
many telllcg points of the comedy were glvou
In a style that ezoited the heartiest applause
and ensured a call before the curtain at the end
of the play. In this and other rolci for which
She Is particularly adapted. Mrs. Bowers
appears to much more advantage than in those
Which she sometimes attempts, such as "Eliza
beth," "Marie Antoinette," "Jane Shore," and
some others, and in her own particular line
she Is almost without a rival.
Bo far as we are aware, Mw. Bowers has never
played "Elsie Venner" In this city. We saw
her some four or five years ago appear In a
dramatization of Dr. Holmes' curious story. In
another city, and although the play Itself pos
sessed no remarkable merit, we rem eta oar Mrs.
Bowers' conception and acting of the character
as being singularly effective. Why she does not
perform the part oftener of course she knows
better than we do.
Mr. McColloui made a very lair represents
tlve of "Don Cinsar." This gentleman has
Improved considerably since we last saw iilui
but be did not equal Mr. Walout, who gave a
really superior personation of "Don Uieiar'
when we last saw this play two years ao
Mr. McCoIIolq declaimed his way through the
piece, and made the obvious points in good
style, but be had no particular id ja of the ear
