THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPHPHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY JANUARY 2G, 1809." 5 MUSICAL ASP DRaJATIC Twelfth Niffht" t the Arch.' Twelfth Nigra, of all the plays of Shakespeare that may be said to still keep possession of tue 'e, Is one of the least frequently represented, nd, on the whole, this is not a matter for muoh 'egret, for If not well done it had beat not be done at all. Home years ago It was proJuoed t the Arch in very superior stylo, but Biuoa then, to the best of our knowledge, it has not been performed In this city until last evening. Sparkling as It does with some of the brightest 8hakespearlan;wlt and humor, with tueserlous and oomio soenes blended as no dramatist bat Shakespeare could blend tbem, and with an Array of characters scarcely one of whom can be said to be of secondary Importance, the In terest of Twelfth Night, as an noting play, Is so dependent on tho ability of the actors, that In the bands of a good stock company alone can it be made Interesting or attractive. If well acted, however, there are few plays, even In Shakespeare's repertoire, that will affjld bet tcr entertainment. The plot of Twelfth Night Is taken, like most of the comedies and romantic dramas of Shakespeare, from an Italian novel, but, as was his custom, the story Is made merely the baoh ground npon which to display a variety ef Characters and Incidents of his own Invention. Ine plot la Interesting, although Inclining to What in these matter-of-fact days might be called sentimentality, but the story is relieved from triviality by the graceful poetry and Hue humor with which the poet has enriched it. "Viola," the heroine of the play, if heroine there be. Is one of those peculiarly delloale pleoesof female characterization that Shake speare excelled in, and which can be compared nrltn nothing outside of his pages. Viola" reminds us of "Kosallnd," Inasmuch as in the disguise of masculine altlre she woos the man he loves; but the rellued ai t ot the poet Is no where shown so much an iu the distinction Whloh he makes between the two characters Both are essentially feminine, but with "Rosa lind" the masquerade Is much of a Jest, aid the forwardness ot her manner, her fearless demeanor, and the brilliancy of her wit are her best protection In the anomalous position In whloh she is placed. With "Viola," on the con trary, the disguise is a neoeselty: she shrinks from discovery, and her perplexities re Increased by her love for the "Duke," no less than by the amo rous advances of "Olivia." The situation Is further embarrassed by the hostilities of the cowardly "Sir Andrew Aguecaeek," hounded on to the attack by "Sir Toby Belch" and his merry companions. The peculiar grace, deli cacy, and sweetness of this character make It exceedingly difficult to represent npon the stage, and few actresses have succeeded in per forming it in such a manner as to satisfy the highest critical requirements. "Sir Toby Belch" may be described as a "Falstaff" with out a paunch, and as his avoirdupois Is less, so Is bis.humor more sprightly, if not so unctuous as that of the fat knight. Twelfth Night was written, according to the best evidences on the BubJeot, before Ilenry IV, or we might Imagine "Sir Toby" to be the forerunner of "Falstafl." "Sir Andrew Aguecheck'' is a distinctively Shakespearian character, but, with the excep tion of "Malvollo," the individuality of the remaining personages of the comedy is not strongly marked. "Malvolia" is the character Of the play, and, with the exception perhaps of Blight superficial llaenesa to "Don Adrlano da Armado" in Love's Labor Lost, there Is nothing In or out of Shakespeare to resemble him. "Sick of self-love" Is a perfect description of J'MalvoHo;" and while the character Is drawn -With such firm and decided touches that any "lfalr cotuedinn ooald scarcely fall to make It amusing, an actor of first-rate ability could alone give such a personation as would be Worthy of the hearty coin meudut Ion of readers Of Shakbpeare. Twelfth Night is one of the most carefully finished of Shakespeare's lighter oomodles; the purely comic element predominates, and It is devoid of any traglo interest whatever. TheJ title Twelfth Night appears to be purely arbitrary; and tho only explanation that Has been offered with regard to it Is, that the merry 6plrit of the play makes it suitable for Twelfth-night festivities. The second title. fi'hat You Wilt, seems to Indicate that the poet pnrposely designed to be IndeUnile. In a copy of the play which belonged to King Charles I ' and now deposited in the British Museum, the title Is altered, in the handwriting of tue monarch, to Malvolio, ' A large audience was in attendance last even ing at the Aroh, and the performance passed oft With a great deal of spirit. Whatever critical Objections might be urged against the concep tion of some of the otiaraoiers, there was a finish and stylaauout me performance that is too seldom seen when plays of this character are on the boards. Mrs. Drew's "Viola," as a whole, was an ex tremely fine and artist lo personation. In the scenes with "Olivia" and in the duel soetie with "Sir Andrew Aguecheck" she was espe cially good. Mrs. Drew, however, failed to hit the peculiarly graceful and poetical conception of the character which any careful reader of the play would realize. In the segues with "Or lino," in the early stages of the play especially, be drawled loo much. In the scene where she receives "Olivia's" ring by the haud of "Mal vollo," and her suspicions are excited that the lady Is in love with her, Mrs. Drew speaks the words; "I left no ring with her. What means this lady fortune forbid, my outside have not charmed bei! Bhe made good view oHBkp; indeed, so muoh, That, sure, inelhousbi, her ejus had lost her teugue, For she aid speak in starts distractedly; Bhe loves me, sure; the cunning of her pjsslon Invites me lu this ohuriluh lunhHaiijjur. None ol my lord's tux', why, he sout her none. I am tbe man:" si if the whole affair was a capital Joke. This is an Interpretation worthy of a suoond-rate toubrette accidentally cast fur a llrst-rate part, and it is certainly not the correct reading, how ever much it may be authorized by stage tradi tion. Mr. Barton IJ ill's "Malvollo" Is good, put It hardly rises to the dignity of a work of art. Mr. lllll gives way too much to his guttural raglo tones, and his exaggerated grandeur of deportment is too palpably assumed, and is lomethiug different from the magnllloent self- luffioleucy of the real character as Shakespeare drew it. Mr. Hill does not make "Malvollo" the most striking figure In the play, as he ought to be. The scene in the garden, where tho steward Unds the letter, and the subsequent Interview with "Olivia," are very well acted, however, although a trifle heavy. The Key-note to "Malvollo'a" onaracter is the de- lortption of him by "Olivia": - "Ob. you are sick of self-love," Malvollo, and taste wltii a distempered appetite." Bd this should be borne in mind by any actor undertaking tne part. fetter than Mr. unrs "Malvollo" la the "Sir Andrew Aguecueek" of Mr. Craig. This is the more purely cotnlo and less diOloult part of the two, but Mr. Craig's "make up" is artlstlo, and bis acting remarkably good. Mr. Mackay as i'Hlr Toby Beloh" is exoellent, and be very nearly, but not quite, makes as great a bit In hU Prt. as be did a couple of season ago at tUe Chesnut as "Dogberry." Miss Davenport, as the "merry devil" of the play, "Maria," aoqulti her. self well, but her performance would be im proved by a little more animation. Thli young lad has been kept rather In the back ground since her engagement at the Aroh, and we are pleased to see ber In a part in whloh she can do herself Justice anu desire that Bhe will make the most of her opportunities. "Olivia" is a part remarkably well suited to Miss Price, and she plays it with a great deal of grace and refined expression. MIrs Price's performance last evening was one of the best Bhe hai yet given us. Mr. Ilemple made an excellent "Clown," and Mr. Everly acted the minor character of "Sebastian" very well indeed. The character of "Orslno" does not afford much opportunity for acting; but the actor who undertakes it might at least speak his lines bo that the audience can under Bland what be is saying. This Mr. JameB does not do. Mrs. Drew has plaoed Twelfth Night on the stage in excellent style; the costumes are hand some and appropriate, and the scenery is very good. Tho sea-coast scene in the first act is very fine indeed. The colors are brighter and the general tone la better than Is usual in Mr, Hawthorne's works, and it will do muoh to advance the reputation of that gentleman as a scenlo artist. The gardon adjoining "Ollva's" palace Is also good. Thegothlo apartmont in the palaoe of "Orslno" in the first act, and the sea-port in the seoond aot, by Mr. Fetters, are entitled to commendation. There were a few trifling balks last even ing, but the theaudlenoe was pleased, and thsre Is very little doubt but that It will draw paying bouses for the balance ot the week.
