MUSHHX, AI1 PHAMATIC.
" I'nnMt" nt Ihn Anutamr of lWuaic.
Lftflt evening Miss Kellogg was greeted at the
Academy of MubIc ly an audlnnre which cert ilnly
could not have been lens cnthnslnHtlc than any ln-fore
which 14- was her (rood fortuno to appear abroad,
wWle Its numbers were limited aolely by the rapacity
Of the building. Tho great favor with which the
American prima donna was received In Kurop hat,
as a matter of course, added strength to her old
popularity at home, and then, It should bo remem
bered, "Marguerite' was the rol in which she made
her memorable and successful debvt at Her Majenty's
Theatre In London. Kvery frequenter of the opora
has seen Faut, and nearly all have witnessed MNs
KeUogg'a "Marguerite" before the days of her Kuro
pean fame. In London, according to all the reports
which reached us, her success in this rol was nn
qualified. In fact, she appears to have tiiken tho
British public by storm, especially the so
called critical portion of It. Therefore, while
S large proportion of her audience last evening were
prepared, from experience, to witness a mistor
.. piece of lyrlo and dramatic art, all these, In common
with those who had never' he.fore heard her sing in
this character, hnd been moved, by rumors from be
yond the sea, to anticipate something a little more
artistio than that excellence which satisfies every
reasonable demand of art. In other words, the
Academy of Music was literally packed last evening
by an audience, the great majority of whom expected
to witness an extraordinary and superlatively grand
Impersonation of a role which, perhaps, admits of
of such a rendition In as great degree as any other
in the whole range of lyric art. Nothing short of
such extravagant expectations could have led an ;
one to regard Miss Kellogg's performance as a failure,
and such, it Is safo to say, was the impression left
upon many of her auditors. Doubtless she hat
never sung better or acted better i
' In this city, In the past, but she certainly did not
excel her previous efforts. By dint of hard study and
unceasing practice she has achieved a correct con
cepUon of the character of "Marguerite," has been
enabled to throw into it that thoroughly aympathctl
vein which it imperatively demands; aud althong
there may be some justice In the common criticism
that she Is still unable to consummate her art by it t
concealment, to cast aside entirely all traces of
affectation or straining, she has succeeded in pro
ducing a careful, finished, and artistic portraiture of
one of the most difficult of lyrlo role, achieving a
success which has never been equalled In this conn
try, and we are quite willing to believe has never
been surpassed abroad. Yet all this was possible,
while the audience had still room for disappoint
ment.
With regard to the remainder of tho performance,
we must say that no one in the cast was so success
ful as to detract from the lustre of the central figure.
Madame Cellini, who appeared as "Slebol," is an
artist of no mean pretensions, but her rendition can
not compare favorably with that of Madame Natall
Testa, nor even with that of Mrs. Heguin In Eugllsh.
Uermanns has so thoroughly monopolized "Mephis
tophelea," has framed .upon the role such a masterly
character, both vocally and dramatically, that Hlgnor
Antonucci, who la unrivalled in almost
everything . he attempts, always appears
to poor advantage as the tempter of "Dr. Faustus."
Signer Orlandini rendered the part of "Valentin"
creditably, but he appeared to regard it as somewhat
below his standard, and failed through carelessness
to do himself full Justice. The chorus was strong,
'and sufficiently effective in most of the situations,
.but not altogether in harmony at times, a defect
which marred the opening scene of the second act
more especially.
"School" at the Arrh.
Mr. T. W. Robertson is the Anthony Trollope of
the drama, and with subjects which In no Instance
rise above the commonplace, aud which under onll
nary circumstances would appear even meau and
trivial, he baa contrived to make some of the fresh-
j-et, brightest, and most charming plays of tho day,
His characters are never strongly marked, and yet
they are life-like and clearly outlined sketches,
which the actors have no trouble in filling up. Com
monplace as are Mr. Robertson's themes, there is
always a vein-of genuine poetry in his plays which
the audience is quick to appreciate, and a fund of
quiet, graceful humor which never sinks to coarse
ness, and which never lulls to avruKen pieasaut
smiles and laughter.
The comedy of School, one of Mr. Robertson's
latest productions, was performed at the Arch last
evening Jo a fair audience, and 'it achieved more
than a fair amount of success. The plot is very
slender, and, indeed, there can scarcely be said to be
a plot. The old fairy story of "Cinderella" modern
ized Is all that there is in it; and, as if to mark this
fact, the more distinctly the curtain rises upon the
heroine of the play, relating the story of the fairy
godmother and the prince who wooed the little
cinder wench to her school companions as they are
weaving wreaths of flowers in the grove; and as
the drama progresses, the analogy is even more
pointedly insisted upon. It has been charged that
Mr. Robertson plagiarized this idea from a recent
German play, but whether this be the case or not,
School is as distinctly Impressed with the same style
and characteristics as Oun and Cante that is impossi
ble to believe it is not essentially Mr. Robertson's
own work.
None' of the situations in School are dramatic in the
Strict sense of the word, and many of them would
appear absolutely weak, trivial, and silly, were it not
that Mr. Robertson Is an artist and a poet who knows
bow to dignify the trivial, and to make commonplace
not merely endurable but in a high degree entertain
ing. Such plays as Our, Cate, and School gratify the
modern taste for realism on tho stage, but they
gratify it in a legitimate, manner: the people who
figure in the scenes are real men and women, and not
caricatures or copies of old dramatic figure-heads
that have done duty ever since play-houses were
invented;, the dialogue is clear, crisp, and
often brilliant, and in spite of the slightness of the
plots and the triviality of the incidents, these works
are so evidently the production of a man of taste,
culture, aud poetic feeling, that they can be looked
at and enjoyed by sensible people with a certain
amount of satisfaction. School Is a better work tliau
Our, but it is scarcely equal to Cwite, which was de
cidedly the freshest, most original, and most attrac
tive comedy that has been produced by any English
or American playwright for many a day. Those who
have enjoyed the other works by tho same author
will enjoy School, and if the usual luck of the Robert
son's plays holds in this instance, it will have a good
run.
School Is very nicely plaeod upon the stago, and all
the appointments are elegant and in the best taste.
The characters all require to be well ucted, but none
of them aiford much opportunity for very vigorous
acting. The most striking performance is that of
Mr.Kverly, in the very unpleasant part of "Mr.
Krux," the usher. This personage reminds ns some
what of "Uriah lleep,"and Mr. Kverly's excollent
'make up" and expressive by-play udd much to the
effect of the personation. Miss I'rico as "Bella
Marks," the heroine of the piece, ucts well, but she
is not girlish enough, and her simpering manner aud
Diiucing gait, which would be appropriate enough lu
some cases when a boarding-school miss is to be
represented, are not in character in this Instance.
Mrs. Drew's personation of "Naomi Tlghe," tho
West Indian heiress, is open to the same ob
jection; besides, her dress is not sufficiently
ffiniHh. and is entirely too gorgeous even for an
heiress and a "parlor boarder." Mr. Mackay gives a
capital representation of "Beau Farlntosh," who
turns out to be "Bella's" grandfather, and who In the
it rt is seen restored to grey hairs and common
sense, having abandoned his hair-dye and his other
follies at the same time. The. other parts are well
sustained as follows :-"Lord Beaufoy," Mr. James;
"Jack Poyntz," Mr. Barton Hill ; "Dr. Butcliffe," mas
.... r h f,ir firove Academy. Mr. Hemple; "Mrs.
SutcUffe," Mrs. Thayer, and the pupils of the school
, Mm t'reese and outer memoers 01 iua
The scenery by Mr. Hawthorn!, representing a
rove near the school, the school-room, and the
grounds, is very good. Last evening the orchestra
attempted to give some selections from Rosslnls
Cenerentula, which were appropriate enough if we 1
