"T TrTBlorj)' at the ArneVmraf lUmslf) The
Fin Appearance la Tbl City ! inor
frown.
Verdi's eper. of II Trotator wu nrst produced at
Rome In the year 18W. Altbongn not the brut of hU
compositions, it has become a universal favorite,
and In accordance with the public twte It has, for
years past, been almost Invariably solccted by
manaftera for the opening night of a Reason. This
traditional custom was followud at our Academy of
Music last evening, at the Inauguration oftheflrit
Instalment of Italian opera that wo have had this
winter, and the houso was fairly filled on the occa
sion. The cast wm, to Philadelphia, almost entirely
new one, as follows: "Manrico," Slgnor C. Le
frano; "Leonora," Madame Carolina Brtol:"Asa
cena," Madame Ktlza Lumley ; the "Count dt Luna,"
Blgnor Reyna; and "Ferrando," Slgnor BarUL Of
this list the last-named alone has been familiar to
ns in the past, and his rolt last evening was com
paratively unimportant The occasion was there
fore one of novelty as far as the singers were con
cerned, If not with respect to the opera.
Blgnor 1 -err auo made his first appearance before
an American audtonce at New York early In No
vember last, and at once achieved a reputation of
the very highest character so high, In fact, that he
came to be talked about as the greatest tonor that
has anneared on the American sUure. The audience.
1 therefore, was prepared last evening for an unusual
display of vocal power, and as the opera progressed
was destined not to suirer disappointment. In the
famous serenado of the first act, before the audlenro
has been favored with a glance at tho hero, he
created a favorable Impression, but still, In a mea
sure, fell short of the expectations which had been
formed of him. In this aria Hrlgnoll has been re
markably successful, giving full expression to the
marvelous clearness and purity of his tones, and
"Slgnor Lefrano's performance was not, In these re
ijspects at least, equal to that of tho former. But It
; J displayed a voice of the robusto order, rare In
i! strength, compass, and sweetness, anil by his
earnest and precise execution be at ence made his
way to the hearts of his audience. When, In re
sponse to generous applause, he presented hlrnnelf
before tho house, :e showed a good presence and a
j manly bearing, which, added to the high degree of
' dramatic nower displayed throughout tile evening.
Y tended greatly to Increase the moasaro of his suc
cess. From tho starting point to the close of the
second act, Slgnor Lefranc fairly maintained his hold
Jupon the audience; but the scene with "Leonora"
In the third act showed, in the early part, a falling
off in sirengin ana ireHaness. this was, nowever,
but a preparation for the finale, and when he touched
the first note of the aria 1H quella pira there was
manifested a power and earnestness which had not
(been exhibited before. The entire morcenu was
executed In admirable style, and terminated with a
feat In vocal gymnastics which has perhaps never
before been equalled, certainly never surpassed,
in this city. At the words O Uco almmin.
lie substituted for the G sharp of the composer's
fcoore the high or chest C, gliding down from this
Kiddy height to the following A, without a flaw or
reak. As his voice was poised for a moment upon
this high note, it had an almost unearthly sound.
The effect npon the audience was miraculous, rnagl-
aL A wild, delirious shout greeted the achieve
ment, and the tempest of applause was continued
1th so much eagerness that the entire contrast and
ull effect of the feat were absolutely marred. When
kho curtain fell Slgnor Lefranc was called to the
jrront, and in response to the enthusiastic ovation
rwhlch he received he motioned the curtain up
Vgaln. The wonderful performance was then re
peated, with fully as much ease and grace as in the
rftirst Instance; but again the impatient eagerness of
t he audience to testify their unbounded approval led
to a repetition of the storm of applause, which
f marred the effect in a greater degree even than
before.
The dating achievement by which Slgnor Lefranc
thus carried his hearers by Btorin is one which but
piew tenure uave ever ubou uuiu is auerapi, ana lue
niHiury oi me art uuuiaiua uu recura ui a more com
plete and satisfactory success. But few of his pre
decessors have been endowed with a vocal organ
which permitted them to make the attempt, and
several who have been reckless enough to venture
it have encountered a failure measured only by their
kudaclty. In Trovatort, the chest C, as every one
amlliar with the opera well knows, Is merely an in-
rpolatlon, brought in by blgnor Lefranc for the
urpose of displaying the rare compass of his voice.
or this reason, there may oe some hypercritical
ersons who will accuse him of vocal trickery, but tho
ccuBation does not detract in the slighest degree
m the fact that he is endowed with a quality of
oice as wonderful as it Is of rare occurrence, and
here are few who witnessed its display last evening
ho would willingly have robbed themselves of the
ectrical effect which it produced. On Wednesday
flvenlng, when Rossini's William Tell will be given,
1th Blgnor Lefranc as "Arnoldo," he will have a
glUmate opportunity to play upon this note. This
pera is one of the very few in which composers
are ventured npon Us Introduction, and Slgnor
efrano last evening demonstrated his entire ability
1) cope with it and all its requirements.
In the fourth act Slgnor Lefranc gave a fresh and
ven execution, but did not achieve in the famous
swer song, Ah, ckt la vutrtt, a success that was
unprecedented, although it was perhaps a more
artistic performance than his chest C, and he con
tinued to display resources of voice and manner
which are at the command of but few of his rivals.
Madame Carolina Briol, who made her first appear
ance before a Philadelphia audience last evening In
the somewhat exacting part of "Leonora," achieved
a creditable success. Her voice takes a high ranire.
and is marked by much evenness and careful
cultivation; bnt it lacks, in a measure, the very de
sirable quality of genuine sympathy. Madame Eliza
Lumley, who essayed the rolt of "Azucena," gave a
satisfactory performance of a part whloh is capa
ble, however, of a much greater degree of elabora
tion both In singing and acting, than she can com
pass. Slgnor Iteyna's "Count dl Luna" was de
cidedly poor. Ills voice Is a baritone of considerable
(tower, but his execution last evening was sadly
marred by his carelessness, the 11 balm, espe
cially, being very Indifferently sung. The chorus
Lwd the orchestra were both a&tlHfnp.t.rirv anri iha
performance, as a wholo, a smooth and even one,
rendered noteworthy, principally, by the wonderful
achievement of Slgnor Lefrano with his chest C
"t'hnnipnne" at the ('beitiiut.
The new play by Miss Laura Keene and Miss Ma
tilda lie ron, .entitled Champagnt; or, Step by Stop,
was produced at the Chesnut Street Theatre last
night to a full bouse. It Is one of the later school of
realistic-sensational dramas, with a great deal less
violent Improbability than some others of the same
class, with a considerable quantity of nonsense In
It, but with some clever dialogue, not a few power
ful situations, and oftentimes with passages which
are filled with genuine pathos.
The story is not particularly novel. A yonng
merchant, upon bis wedding-day, drinks a glass of
champagne for the first time In his life. It becomes
a habit gradually; he requires stronger liquor, makes
a beast of himself, and rushes not only into this
kind of dissipation, but Into wild speculation, which
ruins him. He sinks at last to the very lowest
depths of degradation, from which he Is rescued
anally by his love for his child. "Ten Nights In a
Bar-room" and half-a-dozen temperance tracts
hnlght have furnished this much of the material of
this play ; the rest is an exaggerated satire npon
modern fashionable society. The drama Is full
lot fault, some of which do violence to the
Lcomuion sense of the spectators. Bat this, perhaps,
Is allowable in a play of this kind a play designed
itp present strong effects to audiences not disposed
to be critical, and to excite sympathy, laughter, or
lndgnatlon, regardless of the methods used to se
cure the result. None of the character are new:
the merclumt rushing to rum and ruin is about as
familiar a figure as any la moral novels; the
designing villain differs from his fre
quent counterparts only in name; the
opulent uncle always on hand with cash and good
ul vice and blcuslngs Is met with everywhere but in
lul life; the managing mamma, who Is devoted to
society and to securing husbands for her daughters,
is known In real life and everywhere else; th rural
aunt, with antique bonnet and queer figures of
speech, Is an old friend of the small novelists and
dramatists who want to enliven the misery of their
work by a little fun, while the "Dundreary" fep has
been presented to us so often that we are tired of
him.
Champogn was played very cleverly by the com
pany. Miss Keene's personation of "Mllly" was char
acterized by the grace, elegance, and feeling for
which this actress Is remarkable; Mr. Mordannt'i
personation of the hero was In every respect ad
mirable; Mr. Otis played "Frederick" rather better,
we think, than he has ever played any similar char
acter. As a personator ot a languid swell, Mr. Otis
excels any young actor with whom we are ac
quainted. Miss Laurens appeared as the "Aunt,"
and gave a very vigorous and very amusing per
formance, though we conld not see the propriety of
her adopting the Quaker costumo. Any female
Friend who used the expressions uttered by Miss
Laurens last evening would be subjected to "disci
pline" Immediately. Mr. Wallls, Mr. Htanton, and
Mr. Jack acquitted themselves very cleverly. Miss
Taylor had a rather uninteresting part to play, but
she made the most of it. The piece is placed upon
the stage (n good style, with new and elegant
scenery. We think It la destined to be successful.
It is very muoh more entertaining than many
dramas of the same class, and It Is sufficiently ex
travagant to win popularity with those who admire
realism combined with sensation.
"Not Guilty" at the Wnlnat.
In such a play as that produced last evening at the
Walnut, the most Important consideration Is, of
courso, the opportunities afforded for the band and
the drum corps, to distinguish themselves, tho
marching and countermarching of troops, and the
opposing of hostile forces In battle array, with plenty
of rattle and bang and red fire at the aide scene.
Xot Guilty contains all these elements of popularity
In abundance, for the unfolding of the plot conducts
us Into the midst of the great Sepoy rebellion in
India, and we are treated to tho greatest battlo
sceue that has been a '-tempted on the stage within
tlie memory of the oldest play-goer. If the military
features of the piece were all that was worthy of
notice, however, wc might dismiss It with a few uncri
tical words, as something that rested its claims for
notice on matters outside of genuine dramatic action.
Sot Gvi tii, however, Is In substance a really good play
of Its class, and it has real claims to favorable
consideration. The plot is net as clearly deUned as
it might be, and a great deal Is left to the Imagina
tion of the spectator, but still the thread of the story
is made out with reasonable distinctness, and it
would perhaps be carrying criticism to the verge of
fault finding to expect everyartintlc excellence in
the substance of the play Itself when there are so
many extras thrown iu that are even more attractive
to the publlo than the solid dramatic matters that
support them. The story has the merit of being In
teresting In itself, and the author has managed It so
astoglvo an effective climax to each act, which
leaves the audieuae iu a flutter of excitement to
know what will follow.
The plot hinges upon the remarkable resemblance
between '.'Captain Willoughby," a gallant oillcer of
the British army, and a worthless vagabond named
"Silas Jarrett," ami we are Informed that the Inci
dents of the drama as connected with this last
named character are founded oa facts. "Silas
Jarrett" commits a robbery and contrives that tho
evidences of guilt shall be fastened upon a young
blacksmith named "Robert Arnold," who is found
guilty and sent to Dartmoor prison. "Jarrett," with
a view of keeping his victim in sight for hia own pro
tection, manages to get appointed as a warden of the
prison, where he behaves In a most brutal manner to
"Arnold." The latter, however, accomplishes his
escape In company with another convict named
"Jack Snipe,'" and they conceal themsolves on board
the frigate Dreadnought, and sail for
India In the characters of an officer and
his servant. "Arnold" distinguishes himself in the
campaign against the Sepoy Insurgents, as an officer
In the same regiment as "Captain WUloughby." In
the meantime "Jarrett" has been convicted of the
crime of which "Arnold" was accused, has been
transported, and has made his escape from the penal
settlement to India, "Captain Willeughby" Is killed
by a stray shot in a great battle with the Sepoys, and
"Jarrett," arriving on the scene just as he falls, Is
struck with the likeness of the dead man to himself,
and makes haste to take advantage of tho circum
stance by donning tho uniform of the dead officer.
All of "Wllloughby's" friends are deceived, although
they notice a marked change in the demeanor of
their friend, but they suspect nothing for a number
of yara, when the scene is trans
ferred to England. and the pretended
"Willoughby" aspires to the hand of "Arnold's"
lady-love. Just as matters are coming to an unplea
sant crisis "Jarrett" la recognized by "Jack Snipe"
and two other ex-convicts, who had been the vic
tims of his cruelty la Dartmoor prison, and is taken
in charge by the officer of justice, to the satisfaction
of his victims and all virtuous persons In the audi
ence. There Is some comlo business that relieves in
an agreeable manner the more sombre features of
the piece, and there la a variety of characters that
enable the actors to display their talents to advan
tage. Mr. Walcott personated the ruffian "Silas Jarrett"
and the gentleman "Captain Willoughby" In a highly
artistic manner, and the other leading parts were
very creditably rendered by Mr. Fawcett, Mr.
Brudshaw, Mr. Chapman, Miss Annie Graham, Miss
RoseWood, and Mrs. Walcot
Mnch pains has been bestowed npon the produc
tion ef the pleoe, and the scenery and appointments
are appropriate and elegant The British army Is
represented by a corps of forty young ladles, who go
through with a varloty of military manoeuvres with
much precision, and the great battle soene In the
third act Is managed so as to produce a very excit
ing scene and effective tableau.
