THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBEIt 10, 1809. 5 n n V7-TC o ii it i a ma. Trim Our Own Correspondent. New York, Nov. 10, 18C9. RIIm Klrhtn la ionrt. The cold-voiced prima donna who wan onco Miss Caroline Rlchlngs, but who Is now known as Mrs. IUchlngs-IJcnmrd, Is not no successful In court as on the stage. In tho Marine Court of this city, tho suit Instituted iurnlnt her by Miss Laura Waldron has lately been decided In Miss Waldron's favor. By tho terms of the contract Miss Laura was to receive fifty dol lars per week for singing In one opera, and seventy-five dollars per week when she was sufficiently advanced to sins In three these terms being based upon tho condition that the young lady was successful both In Boston and Phi ladelphia. During the Investigation Mrs. Bernard submitted that Miss Laura had been passably successful in Philadelphia only, and that she had made a total failure of It In Boston. This, of conrse, the budding cantatrice denies, assert ing positively she can show us the place, If we don't believe it that her success in Philadel phia was overwhelming, and that that was the only condition stipulated for In the contract. Mrs. Bernard's ground of defense was that, being a married woman, a judgment could not be urged against her, in personam, having no re lation to her separate estate. It w its -proved, however to the eminent satisfaction of Miss Waldron, who received $100 in consequence of it that Mrs. Bernard owned and "ran" the English opera, and it was considered that this was quite Hufilclcnt to constitute u separate estate. "Man and Wire." The delicate and painful question which Mr. Wilkie Collins has made the key-note of his new novel finds munyeolhitoral instances in American, and especially New York, society. Take, for Instance, the case of Beattlca Bissell, the young girl who became tho victim of young Bisscll's xophlstrics, aud credulously believed him when ho placed the wedding-ring upon her finger, and solemnly told her that that act constituted them man and wife as thoroughly as though the usual ceremony hud been performed by half-a-dozen ministers. Unfortunately for him, Judge Bar nard has taken him at his word, and decided that Beattlca is legally married, and en titled both to divorce and alimony. Neverthe less, this decision is entirely at variance with the popular understanding and belief on that subject. Ninety-nine New Yorkers out of a hundred, on being asked what was necessary to constitute marriage In this State, would say that a ceremony by a clergyman or by some civil officer was essential. But the Bissell case has become a test of this question, and Judge Barnard's decision puts New York on the same status as Pennsylvania in this respect- Miss Beattica's husband was an involuntary bigamist, aving taken for granted that ho could desert her with impunity, and perpetrated marriage with another young lady. The Itronv.e Banquet Corollnry. . I hear that some of the chief newspaper men who have been invited by Captain Dcgroot to honor him with their presence at the Bronze Banquet Corollary to be celebrated at the Astor House this evening, have respectfully but peremptorily declined. They are afraid of en countering some more poundcake and lemon ade. The party, therefore, which will this even ing meet in parlor No. promises to be so select that even a meagre share of delicacies will be more than suflielcnt. You sec journalists have sensitive feelings, and don't like to bo got on a string, unless there is a veritable banquet at the cud of it. The Woman' Council. At the latest meeting of the Organizing Com mittee of the "Woman's Council, Mrs. "Wilbour presented in an essay the consideration of several questions which must occur to thinking women, and which are not very easily answered. Tor instance, it had been stated that the object of the Council was to form an association of all the women of the country. What is meant by all the women, is tho first query that crops out, and how far all the women would be willing to co-operate in a good cause, is another query. Will feminine exclusivism upon Fifth avenue consort with tho less refined mediocrity of un fashionable dwelling-streets? Will not the best endeavors of respectable women of wealth and culture sometimes be crossed and degraded by the ignorance of poorer women and the Impu dence of vicious ones? Will not the immaculate web and woof spun by the nobler spirits of the woman's advance movement be tarnished by the soiled threads interwoven therein by the med dling fingers of lorette and grielte? In short, will not the usefulness of such an association be restricted by the modesty which must character ize the public, as the private, conduct of good women everywhere? Having asked questions like to these, the gentle essayist pauses for a reply. The Instalment Svalern. I believe that oue of tho principles of polltl cal economy Is that if you want an article, and it is cheap, that is a reason why you should buy it; but if you do not want it. its cheap Bess is no reason whatever why you should make the purchase. Something like this in its operation is the Instalment system which forms part of the policy of so many fur niture dealers in this city, and beguiles poor families to their ruin. The hard-working jutter or mater faiu Mas 6ccs an article, a sofa, or a bedstead, or a pretty centro-table, which ho or she ardently desires. The price far exceeds the wntiiri.im nnrebuMcr's means, however, who is reluctantly compelled to loso the opportunity, ;tnd let It go over for another time. At this juncture lu t-leps the complaccut dealer with his sednetlve "you can pay for It by Instalments." This is more than pater or mater can stand. Tho five dollars per week for jo handsome a piece of furniture ca.i be made forthcoming, ana is, uutll noon some uulucky day mother is seized with ' rheumatism over the wa-htub, or father . uv tias his lcfJ smashed by an em Jmnknieut falling upon him. or some other unforeseen accident, and the source where the five dollars came from is dammed up Where is the complacency of the furniture with his infernal Instalment-system then Witness the case of an old French lady and her rfirhtr ruhldiu-r in this city, who had been In duced to buy, upon this system, something tl.rv were too poor to pay for In the , They went on Having so much per week until' fclO l of the claim was settled and a balance of only remained.

That portion of the public which does not love Anna Bishop for old acquaintance sake seems to be In doubt as to why It ought to go to see her because she is a groat traveller, because she was a great toprano tfojnto, or because she onco spent thirteen days In an open boat and twenty one on a desert island. These arc rare claims to popularity, but Madame Anna has them all. Having expended so many years In singing songs and making circuits, she may be said to have made a final ritnrnr-llo In favor of New York city, where she proposes to pass the remainder of her days. In these eases, however,. prinit dnnne propose and theatrical managers and agents too often (impose. "Middle" ftlorann. Itisundcrstoodtlr.it Miss Middle Morgan is prepared to die at the shortest notice, and that, like "Mrs. Fielding," all she now asks is to be buried in a plain but respectable coffin, with a silver plate on the lid. Hhe has ridden in Cen tral Park attired in black velvet, and riding Mrs. August Belmont's saddle horse "Trovatorc." Ai.i Bah v. itii sii'Ar. a.i iMMJiiric. "Dor Freyschntz" nt the Arndrinr of IHiimIp. Mr. (irau could not liave made a worse selection for the opening night with his troupe of liermnn artists than Her Frepschntz, The popularity enjoyed by this production In Europe for nearly half a cen tury has been almost unprecedented, and yet It lacks the great elements of Interest, except under a rare combination of circumstances. Unless It Is placed upon the stage with the greatest care, and the score executed with the utmost precision, it is rather au unattractive entertainment. While the general performance last evening at the Academy of Music was commendable, and even creditable, It lacked that perfect finish which always extorts from a Philadelphia audicuec un stinted applause. The house was well filled last even ing, aud the audience was a good-humored one, but throughout the performance there was nothing which so captivated it as to elicit a deuiaud for a re petition, although the efforts of Madame Pre derlcl as "Agathe," and Madame Hotter as "Ann chen,"were frequently and liberally applauded, ir Martha, Fidelio, or Fount had been upon the boards, we feel confident that tho result would have been measurably different. Madame Fredericl Is cer tainly a charming singer the best upon the German stage, and in some rol fairly without a rival. She gave the music of her part with much sweetness and precision, and altogether maintained the high reputation which she has heretofore achieved in this city; but tb general tameness of the perlormanee appeared t oppress and restrain her, instead of causing her efforts to stand out in bold relief upon a background of dullness. Madame I totters vivacity knows no iKmnds, and her earnest efforts to elevate the part of "Annchcn" to one of the most important in the opera succeeded, as they have always done hereto fore. The male parts, which were allotted in part to Messrs. Wilhelm Formes, Beln inger, and Welnllch, were, as we have already said, creditably given, but without snftlolent eclat to make any of them notice able. The chorus was also qulto good, but not powerful enough to bring out all the striking beauties of the famous Hunters' Song, in the last act. As for the great, incan tation scene, it is only necessary to say that it bore a striking resemblance to a relic of the glories of the lilaek Crook; which have had their day und no longer throw a Philadelphia audience Into eestacies. It Is an indispensable adjunct of the opera, however, and was sufficiently weird and dazzling to be in per fect keeping with the general motive of the plot. Forreat an "Kiwi I.ear." At the head of dramatic literature stand Ave great works, the supreme efforts ol the one great poet whose genius was able to encompass the euttre range of human passions, sympathies, and emotions. Ro.neo and Juliet, Othello, Ilawtrt, Macbeth, and Kitvj Iar may almost be said to cover the whole field of tragedy. At the two ends of the list that embraces Hamlet as the one masterpiece, perfect and unap proachable, of the human intellect, stand Romeo ami Juliet, the tragedy of youth, beauty, and love, and Lear, the tragedy or senility, madness, and de spair. The one glowing with the uncontrolled pas sions of young, fresh, and intoxicating love, colored with the tints of an Italian sunset: and the other sombre, dark, and terrible with the shadows of de throned reason, filial ingratitude, aud the mani fold atrocities of a barbarous age. The characters of all these plays have qualities that battle representation on the stage, but it is Romto ami Joliet and King Lear that most completely set the actor's art at dcliance. Of the hero and heroine of the first there are few adequate representatives belore the public, and of "King Lear" there is but oue artist who has the courage to attempt the per sonation, and to brave the danger of non-success in realizing the ideal of the poet's conception. It is useless at this day to attempt to criticize Mr. Forrest's faults of manner; the public know well what they are, and they have been for years the objects of assault from those who do not care to dis cuss the qualities that make this artist's actlug great despite his mannerisms. It is enough to place Mr. Forrest far above all his contemporaries that he alone has the ability to play "King Lear" in a manner worthy of the warmest commendation. This is undoubtedly his best personation, and not only are his faults of style toned down lu it until they are scarcely appreciable, but he actually grasps all that there Is in the part and presents it with a masterly combination of delicacy aud vigor that is astonishing when we consider the ruggedDess and excessive cuergy of some of his personations, Ills "King Lear'' is a quiet piece or acting, aud It is only in the curse upon "tioneril," In the first act, that he even approaches to rant. The lights and shades of "I.ear'a" character are marked with bold and de cided touches, and there is a massive grandeur about the whole performance that Impresses the spectator as a close approximation, at least, to the ideal conception of the poet. The delicacy with which the amiable side of "Lear's-' character is brought forward is remarkable in view or the vigor and de cision or the outlines, and the profound pathos with whleh Mr. Forrest represents "Lear's" deep-rooted and tender love for "Cordelia" is oue of tho most ad mirable features of his personation. "Lear," in the early scenes of the pluy, is only impressive as a weak and imperious old man, too long accustomed to habits of rule to submit to contradiction, and 'too doatingly fond of his children to survive lll-trcatment at their bands. It is not until he goes mad that he really becomes majestic, ami the figure of the old king out in the storm, with the "Fool" and "Edgar," the pretended mudman.for his companion !s one of the most highly wrought dramatic sltuutions that Shake speare ever imagined. With Mr. Forrest the gradual approach of madness in "Lear" is 11 uely marked, al though there is a final climax when his wits appear to give way altogether in a moment, and he passes from a senility that moves our pity to a majestic madness that touches the height of the sublime. Mr. Forrest's "Lear," as un acted character, is, despite a few blemishes, as near perfection as we ever expect to see anything of the kind. His taste in costume, however, belongs to the pre-Adamlte tiges of the drama, und the straw crown and sword that he assumes In the fourth act are artlHtlc ab- 1 surdities that are perfectly astonishing lu au uctor wi,o inm the genius to emiiody such a character us I . . . , . -lung i.eur. it is m much peiiy c.Miunuons or lu- suivirai.io bad taste as this that Mr. Forrest lays I uunseu open to u ntemptuous criticism, iy showing how ridiculous he can be even ttlieu most sublime. Mr. Forrest's "Lear" must be cuuv..lcred as a thing by Itself, ami entii -ly apart from the drama lu which It ought proper' to be tin-chief' Autre., It is greut, lu piu- of the e-loru of some imbecile "adapter" to nun mm or t.e grandest tragodies ever vvi.tun, for tli i "vsrwou"o( Xinj Lttur that Mr. better than which every great rUk." Forrest nses is undoubtedly one of the very worst mutilations of Shakespeare thBt was ever perpe trated. The character of the "Fool" one of Shake speare's masterpieces, and absolutely essential to the proper development of the poet's idea-is elimi nated altogether, and the great mad scene In the third act, especially, loses much of Its significance through the absence of this Important foil to the tragic rage of the mad old king. The manner In which the scarcely less important part of "Kdgar" was represented, however, last evening by Mr. William Harris, so far from making the "Fool" a matter for excites a wish that the he whs about It had sent loss of the reirret, rather "adapter" iwhile "Edgar" to keep hlra company. Mr. Harris my, by dint of hard study and constant practice, become a moderately good actor In tho courss of half-a-do.en years or so, but at tho present writing he certainly does not understand the first principles or his art. Mr. Forrest may Imagine that by surrounding him self with tneapabtes his own effects are thereby heightened, but this Is a serious mistake, and his "King Lear" would be in every way Improved by Iwlng placed in Juxtaposition with competent repre sentatives of the "Fool" and "Kdgar." It Is ono of the great evils of the star system that a single actor Is obliged to carry tho entire weight of a great drama like Kiun Lear upon his own shoulders, and that he becomes so jealous of his honors r.Xat he is not willing to sharo his applause with a subordinate. It may be difficult to find competent representatives of such characters as the "Fool" ami "Kdgar ;" but tilts diffi culty is in a great measure duo to a vlolous system that crushes out the energies of the stock actors, in stead of Inciting their ambition and encouraging them to put rotth all their powers. It is disgraceful to see suoh a tragedy as Kimj Lear turned into a hideous burlesque, but we are rar more disposed to blame such men as Mr. Forrest, who havo ruled the stage w ith a rod of Iron for their own glorification, rather than the actors, who appear to be afraid to act as well as they can when they ore placed in Jux taposition with a popular "star." Tho best perform ance by the support last night was the "Edmund" of Mr. Lewis Morrison. This gentleman is an intelli gent uctor, and he prooably could do this part in a very satisfactory mauner, but he appeared to be oppressed by the weight of his responsibilities and aTraid to trust himself. Miss Lillie, who assumed the character of "Cor delia," acts just as she did two years ago neither better nor worse and she appears to have reached the limits of her capabilities in a certain sing-song style of declamation and mechanical gesticulation that is certainly not natural, and that cannot be termed artistic, unless we include under that name everything great and little, admirable and abomi nable, thBt natare would scorn to own. If Mr. For rest could give us "King Lear" without any acces sories, it would be satisfactory, to a certain extent, at least; but such a botched performance of a l '"tolled adaptation of the pluy as was given last t at the Walnut is enough to make any admirer ol Shakespeare forswear the theatre altogether, or to limit himself to an occasional representation of ISoucicault's pieces, where tho actors are so much superior to the material they work with that they appear admirable eveu lu their deficiencies, solely by contrast.
