J".e P,fty with which Ming Lnara Kc.-ho Inmiffu
raiea the second week of her managemont had much
w contend against last evening In the way of rival
attractions. At one f the theatres the most popu
h KU,,llin ot tbedayls crowding the house with
the class of playgoers who are best dlsposod to pa
tronize dramatic art of an olevated type, and at the
other establishment a new and skilfully advertised
drama by Houcloault, with a suggestion of Impro
priety about It, attracted a crowd of another kind.
In spite of which, the Chesnut was well filled with
an audience of Intelligent ladles and gentlemen,
Who assembled to witness a pla.y which Is lamenta
bly denclent In the sensational clement upon which
the great Bouclcault relies for success, and
Which hedcelurcs, with an Impudent solf-suffltueney,
has relegated Shakspoare to the closet, and ren
dered obsolete the standard dramas which, before
his time, were the delight of many generations of
playgoers u play which has little to recommend It
fcut its refined and elevated tone. Its poetical feel
ing, Its touching picture of honest poverty and true
love struggling against despair, and Us glimpses of
homely English rural life. It Is gratifying to know
that there are playgoors who can appreciate a simple
Idyllic drama like this, and its production
at the commencement of the season is a pleasant
augnry of the good taste and intelligence which
will characterize the new management of the
Chesnut. A succession of plays of as pure and noblo
a type as Rachel the Reaper will give the Chesnut au
enviable reputation as a houso where men can take
their families at all times, without fear that they
Will have occasion to repent so doing, and It will
attract to It walls a class of persons who rarely visit
theatrical entertainments of any kind. If Miss Keene
continues as she has begun, she will deserve and un
doubtedly will receive the support of those who look
upon the drama as a high and noble art, and as a
means of culture more powerful In Its influences
than almost any other.
Charles Kcado is undoubtedly one of the mos1;
Vigorous dramatic writers of the day, and wit
his great genius for that class of work, and
In the dearth of good playwrights, it is almost a
matter for regret that he did not devote himself ex
clusively to dramatic of literature. As it is, he U
either the author or part author of some of the very
best works that have been produced lu our day.
Masks and, Face and The King's Rival are both plays
that will hold the stage so long as there are actresses
to be found capable of representing 'Teg Welling
ton" and "Nell Gwynne," and his dramatization of
Tennyson's idyl of "Dora" will bo remembered
When the performances of Bouclcault have been
consigned to the dirt heap. Whatever else
may be said of Charles Kcado, he Ib at least honest
and sincere, and even in those works which have
been most fiercely attacked, the purity of his Inten
tions cannot be disputed. In both Hanks and Face
and The King's Rival he has given us portraits of
Women of dubious reputation, but in neitherof these
pieces is there any pandering to a vitiated taste or a
prurient curiosity ; and it cannot be disputed that
the tendency of these pieces is pure and elevating,
and they are undisligured by any of the false and
perverted sentiment which makes nuch dramas as
Camille offensive. The interview of "Peg Welling
ton" with the injured wire of her lover, and the sceue
where "Nell Owynne" watches from behind the folds
of the cnrtaln the marriago of '-Rochester" and "La
Belle Stuart," are profoundly pathetic, and while
they excite the deepest pity for the heroine, they also
teach a lesson that is the more impressive from the
entire absence of all coarseness iu the conception of
the characters and the language of the drama. Of a
different style from these are the pastoral plays of
Dora and Rachel the Reaper. The llrst named achieved
a partial success lu this city two seasons ago, and a
very decided success more recently when pro
duced under better auspices In New York and
Boston. Those of our readers who saw it when it
was performed at the Chesnut will remember it as
one of the most delightful pieces brought out that
season; and If Miss Keene were to put it upon the
Btage of the Chesnut at this time, it would probably
receive the meed of praise that is due it from an in
telligent public.
Rachel the Reaper is the simple Btory of a poor
girl who is beguiled into marriage by a man who has
another wife. Her child is boru and dies, and then
she Is forced to conceal her story for fear it will not
be credited, and that it will prevent her from ob
taining work at the hands of the honest but hard
headed and prejudiced rustics. Witli her old grand
father she wanders about the country reaping in the
fields, the two asking to be paid as one. "Robert
Hathorne," the son of a bluff old farmer, is attracted
by her beauty and modest demeanor, and falls la
love with her. His father, however, wishes him to
marry his cousin, "Rose Mayfleld," a rich and pretty
widow, who is also courted by "Dick
Hickman," the pretended husband of
X "Kacuel," wnose wire, is now ueau, anu lie a weaitny
j landowner. The interest of the play turns upon the
I constant love of "Robert Hathorne" for "Rachel ;"
v her crowing affection for him. combined with her
dread that the bitter story of her life will be told in
fi such a manner as to ruin her in his estimation ; the
efforts of the old farmer to bring about a match be
tween "Rose" and "Robert," and the attempts of
several other suitors, Including "Dick Hickman," to
gain the hand of the pretty widow. The piece Is a
gem in its way, and it only wants a little more dra
matic force and energy to make It a most beautiful
and fascinating performance.
Miss Keene's personation of "Rachel" was in keep
ing with the Idyllic character of the piece, and she
gave a refined and delicate portrait of the poor girl
suffering under a great and unmerited wrong, but
whose troubles are finally brought to a close, and her
happiness restored by the love of a high-minded and
honest man. Mr. J. H. Jack, who made his first ap
pearance, was admirable as the bluff, hearty, good
humored, and imperious old farmer ; and Mr. Wallis
was equally as good as "Daidy Patrick," the grand
father of "Rachel," an old Waterloo campaigner of
fourscore years. Mr. Sheridan represented "Robert
Hathorne" in accordance with the spirit of the text.
The character scarcely permits of much acting,
but Mr. Sheridan would Improve his personation by
infusing a little more energy into his
manner. As "Dick Hickman" Mr. Mor
daunt had a part exactly suited
to him, and he did It very well; and Miss
Jennie Anderson, who appeared for the first time,
made a favorable Impression as "Rose Mayfleld."
Mr. Vlning Bowers made a good representative of
the comic character of the piece, "Mr. Casenower,"
a scientific agriculturist and butterfly collector, who
is numbered among the suitors of the pretty widow.
The part of "Dame Hathorne" was creditably filled
by Miss Mary Carr; and Messrs. W.J. Stanton and
B. F. McNulty were amusing as the representatives
r a couple of comical Irishmen.
The piece Is put upon the stago with care and good
taste, although it gives but little opportunity for
scenic display, and it is well acted throughout.
"Formosa or, The Railroad to Kuln,'
at the
Arcu.
When a dramatist desires to force a stupid or Inde
cent play upon the public, and to reuelve for it a run
which Its intrinsic merits could never possibly
achieve, he picks a quarrel with the press, If such a
auarrel be possible. Aud if any argument were
needed to convince dramatists and managers that
theatrical success is a mere creature of public
fininlon, as manipulated by the press, the success
which attends a play against which its thunders
have been profusely directed on the Bcore of inde
cency should be suillcient. The yellow-haired Blondes
have left ns, aud now that they are gone, we do not
contribute to the success of their attempt at per-
vprtlnir the tastes and perchance contaminating
the morals of our play-goers, by again expressing
cur belief that the crowded houses which they drew
every night of their stay were out of all proportion
to their merits, even when they were viewed from
b Ktandnolnt of indecency. Their advent upon
, hoards of the Arch was heralded by a grand

choice extracts from which crept into the
Journals here, and ensured an overwhelm
ing house on the opening night The Blondes did
their best to transfer their quarrels, along with their
pink legs and their yellow hair, to Philadelphia. By
dint of unparalleled exertions of the most undignified
kind, they succeeded In a measure, and, as a conse
quence, the house was crammed every night. It can
n Jt be denied that their audiences were made np of
the most enthusiastic material, of men and must
we not add, of women? who professed, with a
show of sincerity, to believe that the legs
of Miss Lydla Thompson wore wonderful to
behold ; that they were more shapely, more nimble,
more dazzling than tho ordinary run of legs; and
that Miss Lydla Thompson, by virtue of the posses
sion of these legs, was entitled to a front rank in the
profession with which she claimed to be allied. The
fact that Miss Lydla Thompson leaves behind her a
host of friends in tears is or no more slgnlllcance,
however, than the fact that the return of Jimmy
Haggertyto the Eastern Penitentiary will be fol
lowed by a scene equally as lachrymose. It Is abso
lutely true, beyond all cavil, that there Is no account
ing for some people's tastes.
And now "Jenny Boker," alias "Formosa," enters
the arena, and is greeted by a crowded house, sim
ply and solely because Dion Bouclcault, whose crea
tion she is, has contrived to get into a grand row
with the virtuous London press. Bouoicault has
made a bold stroke. "I have broken down," says he'
in his letter to the London Times, "a barrier which
prejudice had established. I have proclaimed a
literary thoroughfare, with the full approbation of
the public. And," he adds, in concluslon,"I mean to
keep It open." So he rakes "Formosa" out of her
glided slums, and parades her upon the Btage, sur
rounded by all the accessories of her Ignoble life.
He touches up her vices from the virtuous
standpoint, drags her through the mire again
and again, in all her dazzling splendor, and
brings her to grief, In a measure, at
the end, by not rewarding her lack of virtue with
the prize which Justice and decency award to its
possession ; and having so done, Imagines that he
has contributed something towards making vloe ob
noxious and virtue attractive; that ho has strength
ened "the proprieties and delicate sentiments which
form the bases of society," and which, aocordlng to
his claim, "are engendered by a knowledge of wrong
as much as by a sense of right ;" that he has im
parted "a true knowledge of the world" to the young
and pure, and thereby "purged" them of "much of
perilous stuff, the growth of curiosity and Igno
rance;" and finally, in case all these apologies and
excuses avail not, asserts that "Jenny Boker," alias
"Formosa," Is no worse than, if as bud as "Norma,"
"Don Gtovanul," "Rlgoletto," "Vloletta," "Lucre
zia Borgia," "Marguerita," "Amlna," and sundry
other heroes and heroines of the Italian
stage. But the newspapers an; not appeased ;
the quarrel Is transferred to the United
StatcB ; "Formosa" is cried down by the press as
"unsavory," in the New World as well as in the Old ;
the public demand a sight of her In every
leading city, in order that they may Judije
of her for themselves; and In the
highly virtuous town of Chicago, espe
cially, she drives even the Blondes from the
stage and monopolizes the three theatres at one and
the same time. It is not surprising that she draws
and pays. But it is surprising that Bouclcault should
cluim, in the letter from which we have already
quoted, that "the great public differ in opinion" from
the critics, simply because she does draw aud pay.
The people whoso curiosity or perverted tastes lead
them to crowd tho theatres where "Formosa" reigns
supreme during her ephemeral career, which will be
limited at best to one or two seasons, are one thing ;
"the great public," which has decreed immortality
to Shakespeare's masterly creations, and whose
approving voice has kept The School for Scandal, The
Rivals, She Stoops to Conquer, The Ilnneymoon, The
Hunchback, and works of this class, upon the stage
for a half century and more, is quite another. But
to this "great public" Bouoicault has seldom
appealed.
As to the plot cf Mr. Bouolcault's effusion, it may
bo summarized thus, with the cast of characters ou
its first presentation at the Arch Street Theatre
last night: 'Formosa," alias "Jenny Boker"
(Mrs. John Drew), Is the daughter of "Sam Boter"
(Mr. Hcmple), a retired pugilist, who is acting as
"coach" to the Oxford crow, in their training for tho
approaching University race. She has saved up
some money how she did it is made quite apparent
has set her father up in business, and is in love
with "Tom Burroughs" (Mr. J. F. Cathcart), the cap
tain and stroke-oar of the Oxford crew. "Comptoa
Kerr" and "Major Jorum" (Messrs. L. L. James and
D. E. Ralston), two heavy villains, who wish to get
"Tom" into their clutches, encounter "Jenny" at the
Old Swan" boat-house, which is kept by her mother
(Mrs. Thayer), penetrate her disguise, and recognize
in
her the notorious "Formosa" of Ltiidon.
'hreatenlng to expose her evil ways to
her parents, who yet regard her as
beitg something very different from what
she is, they secure iu her an ally in the conspiracy
gainst "Tom," Into which she enters with some
zeal, which has its source in the Jealousy entertained
of "Nellie" (Miss Lizzie Price), the ward of the old
college tutor, with whom "Tom" thinks himself in
love, and against whom "Bob Saunders" (Mr. Craig),
a professional vagabond, puts in a claim to pater
nity, just as the curtain descends for the first time.
n the second act "Tom," led on by the two heavy
villains and "Formosa," plunges headlong into the
gay and festive sports of which the latter's London
villa Is the scene. The "Earl of Kden" (Mr. (K W.
Stoadart), the coxswain of the Oxford crew, endea
vors to divert him from the "railroad to ruin," but is
frustrated by the wiles of the enchantress. Iu the
third act "Nellie," who has now become the com
panion of her vagabond ancestor, discovers
that "Tom's" affections are centred upon
'Formosa," ascertains the danger in which he
is Involved, aud makes known the state or the
case to old "Mrs. Boker." But vice is again
triumphant over virtue, and the unhappy "stroke"
of the Oxfords, on the very evening before the race,
is arrested for debt and placed in the durance vile or
a 6ponglng-house, and "Formosa," at last repentant,
but unable to avert this calamity, returns to ner pa
rents in deep distress of mind. But in tho fourth
and last act virtue gets the advantage in a measure.
The sponglng-house is stormed by the magnanimous
Cambridge crew, "Tom" is reieasou irom ins impri
sonment, the University race transpires and Oxford
wins the day, the two neavy villains are naoDea Dy
the police on the charge of forgery, and, by way of
making the account square with virtue, "Tom" Is
supposed to marry "Nellie ' aeBpite ner aisreputaoie
parentage.
Into this outline is crammed a vast amount of
detail, a labored effort belug made to bring out In
the boldest relief the character of "Formosa" and
her associates. But in tins respect sir. Bouclcault
has made a signal failure. Taken as a whole,
Formosa Is weak, flimsy, aud trashy ; but when we
view it from the Immoral standpoint, it dwindles
into a downright fizzle. If the author had drawn
more liberally on Offenbach's vile medley, I Vie
Parisienne, if he had thrown asiae nis gloves ana
handled iniquity with nis uare nanus, 11 ne nau so
far forgotten his manhood and overcome his whole
some fear Of public Opinion ana mo yima ua iu
make his stage "Formosa" a true copy of the living
and breathing "Formosa" of Hyde Park and Ful
ham, the fuHs and fume of the London papers would
have been, In a measure, Justified, and the opening
of this new literary thoroughfare would have marked
an epoch in the history of the English stage. But as
the thing stands, it U scarcely worth the
attention which it has received, and such
of our readers as take the trouble to see it, In the
expectation of beholding something glaringly inde
cent, will leave the theatre with a feeling of disap
pointment. If any doting parent desires to "purge"
the minds of his daughters of the "perilous stun"
which "curiosity and ignorance" have implanted in
them, it will be well for him to bide his time and
wait till something better or worse oomes along.
The play wasnroduced at the Arch Street Theatre
last evening, fuT the first time In tills city. The
Darts, as noted above, were all creditably renuureu,
but we would prefer to wait until the new members
of the company appear la roles of more exatv re
qulrement and more intrinsic merit before entering
upon their comparative merits more at length than
we have already done. It Is necessary, however, to
notice in passing the rare unction with which Mr. 1).
E. Ralston personated the seedy "Major Jorum," a
sort of degenerated "De Boots." Mr. Bouclcault
has thrown more individuality into this part than
into all tho others, and Mr. Ralston Is fully
equal to the' task of bringing out all
its characteristic points. The piece is mounted
in the careful and elaborate style for which tho Arch
Street Theatro has obtained a well-desorved reputa
tion. The villa scene In the second act is quite
attractive, and the rescue of "Tom" from the Sponglng-house
In the fourth act Is exhilarating In the
extreme, although It savors rather strongly of the
Bowery style. As for the culmination of the whole
affair the great University Boat Race, which claim
to divide the Interest of the piece with the wayward
ness or "Formosa" we cannot say much In com
mendation, if last night's performance is to be con
sidered a test of its mechanical merit The rowing of
both crews was rather wild, but perhaps their mem
bers will be able in time to tug away at their oars
without bumping their heads together so violently.
