WOMEN 8 Rl OHT8 AND BARBARISM.
It la a significant ciroumstanoe that while the
advocates of women's rights make but slow
progress in civilized communities, they win
brilliant triumphs in the rude and barbarous
seotions of the country. The right of suf
frage for which gentle Anna Diokinson vainly
pleads in Pennsylvania has been freely ex
tended to the women of benighted Utah,
where polygamy prevails, and where a de
graded people willingly submit to the des
potic authority of that prince of impostors,
Brigham Young. In Wyoming, the wildest
of the new Territories, a woman was recently
appointed a justice of the peaoe, and yester
day the claaaio ground of Laramie, near
which grizzly bears still prowl and savage
Indians lie in wait for soalps, immortalized
itsolf by swearing in "the first panel of lady
grand jurors in the world." Among some
tribes of the merciless aborigines similar
triumphs of women's rights have been
achieved. It is not uncommon for Indian
Women to turn warriors, and to hack and hew
at the enemies of their tribe as vigorously as
their male associates. Indeed, in some of the
assaults of our soldiers on Indian camps they
have found the "squaw" fighters more dan
gerous than the "bucks." In return for
such military service, or for other
reasons, the right to participate in important
councils or to exeroise a positive influence on
tribal policy haa occasionally been granted to
the Indian woman-, and thus various portions
of America have, from time to time, enjoyed
the delights of the system which mischievous
modern agitators are vainly endeavoring to
establish in oivilized States. They do not
seem to be oonsoioos that the project is anti
quated and savage rather than modern and
refined. The fishsromeu of Paris became
as powerful politicians as Susan
'Anthony wishes to be, when that city was oon-
vulsed by the bloody soenes of the French
Eevolution; but when order was restored the
nation gladly dispensed with their partisan
services. So, too, queens have ruled from
'time to time, but so rarely with mercy, wis-
dom, or impartiality, that experience has de-
, monstrated the necessity of the Salio law.
To repeal it and to create myriads of female
sovereigns in this country would be retro-
eradation instead of advancement. Let the
' women reign forever as queens of our hearts
and homos; but it will be better for all con
cerned to permit the men to fight out as best
they may the battle of the ballot-boxes.
NEW INDIAN 0 UTBREAK3.
As spbino Approaches the old story of a pro
bable renewal of Indian hostilities on the
plains is repeated. In winter, when the
,' savages are forced to seek refuge in their vil
lages, and when they cannot make
marauding forays without running great
risk of being frozen or starved,
they are always willing to buy the
hatchet. But as soon as the elements permit
them to attaok white men with comparative
safety they are sure to dig it up again. They
break the most solemn treaties on trivial pre-
. texts, and one renegade white murderer, by a
f ew artful misrepresentations, can quickly undo
' the work of half-a-dozen peaoe commissions.
! .' They have been taught from their youth to
regard robbery and murder as the great ends
. of their existence, and nothing but the pre-
- senoe of a superior restraining force will pre
vent a renewal of the scenes of rapine aad
l. slaughter which have made the Plains and
contiguous settlements the dark and bloody
' ground of our modern history. General
Sheridan says that "the problem to be solved
is, who shall be killed, the whites or In
dians?" and this is substantially true of
all the tribes which have not been thoroughly
' humbled by a succession of defeats. In
"' spite of all that the Quaker agents can do
' among the Bemi-civilized bands, and all that
diDlomaov can effect among their wilder
brethren, the savage instincts of the red-
handed marauders of the West can only be
held in check by a consciousness that swift
and terrible retribution will follow every
attempt upon westward-bound emigrants or
frontier settlements.
Thb investigation of the sale of cadetships,
and the accompanying excuses, have disolosed
the remarkable faot that some of the innooent
and unsophisticated Congressmen were not
aware that it was wrong to sell these appoint
ments. The plea is also Bet up that when
their feet wandered from the paths of reoti
tude it was only because they were misled by
the lores of wicked newspaper correspondents.
IIow much these theories will tend to heighten
the popular appreciation of the standard of
Congressional reotitude remains to be seen;
but a man who does not know that bribery is
sinful, or one whose virtne is not proof
against the advance i of an office broker, ooou-
piea but a low position among incorruptible
statesmen.
In thk State Legislature yesterday, "Mr,
Davis presented forty petitions in favor of
keeping Independence square sacred as a
public green forever." If a vigorous effort
were made, we have no doubt that the signa
tures of at least three-fourths of the citizens
of Philadelphia could easily be obtained to
petitions of this character, and the country
members must bo fully aware that scaroely a
man in ton thousand of the people thoy repre
sent would voluntarily consent to the pro
posed desecration of the birthplaoe of Ameri
can liberty.
91UHICAL. ATO IHtAMATIC.
Mr. Feebier a. "Hamlet."
"Hamlet" is at once one of the easiest and
the most difficult of all the great Shakespearian
characters to present effectively upon the staire.
Almost any reasonably good actor, who would
fall altogether In such parts as "Macbeth,"
"King Lear," "Shylock," "Richard III," or
'Othollo, might give a ploaslng and popular
personation of "Hamlet," If his audience would
bo content to forgot the metaphysical subtleties
f the character, and accept a plain, straight
forward, and unpoctical representation of au
Interesting young prince who puts an "antic
disposition on" for the accomplishment of a
certain purpose, who plays the fool before those
whom he wishos to deceive, who never forgets
to be a gontloman, and who is at all times in
terestingly melancholy. Such a performance as
this ought not to be very difficult In comparison
with the pocullar and strongly-marked
features of the other characters mentioned that
imperatively demand elaborate treatment if even
a measurable success is to be achieved. The
play of Hamlet Itself is intensely interesting; it
is eminently picturesque, and is full of fine
stage effects that appeal in tbe strongest manner
to the popular fancy. It is owing to those char
acteristics that the most profoundly intellectual
and wonderfully subtle drama in the whole range
of literature is one of thocaost popular. Hamlet
would probably keep its placo on the stage as a
first-rate melodrama if thore was not a philoso
phical or metaphysical idea connected with it;
and it would be even more popular than it is if
any pains were taken as a general rule to pre
sent it as a drama, and not merely for sake of
the background and accessories it affords for
heightening the effect of a single figure. Upon
this single figure, however, Shakespeare has
exhausted all the resources of his
art. In "Hamlet" he has dolineated a man, and
ho has analyzed the soul of a man. The hero
of this play is to a very large extent a type, but
he is also au individual, in whom every man
can to a greater or loss degree detect his own
likeness, but In whom every man finds some
thing that docs not belong to himself. The
suggestion in a barbarous old Norse tale the
outlines of which Shakespeare has adhered to
with even unnecessary fidelity in which the
horo affects madness for tbe purpose of deceiv
ing his enemies and accomplishing a revenge
upon which his heart was sot, furnished the
poet with the Idea of delineating a man of pecu
liarly susceptible temperament, strong in his
affections but weak in will, who while making a
pretense of insanity should be so unbalanced in
his mind that even his most Intimate friends
could net decide with any d-gree of accuracy
how far his madness was a pretense
or a reality. This peculiar condition
of a mind trembling on , tho verge of
insanity is comparatively easy to understand
but almost impossible to describe. It can only
bo described accurately by a poet in tho delinea
tion of such a character as that of "Hamlet," or
by an actor in tho embodiment of such a char
acter upon the stage. If the actor is a thorough
artist the representation upon the stage ought
to throw a light upon tho written word and
reveal to tbe audience much that is inexpressible
in language. That the representations of "Ham
let" Invariably full so far short of the ideal thit
the student of the play guius from its perusal
shows bow difficult It is to realize all that is in
the part and all that ought to be expressed.
Indeed, so difficult is it that most playgoers are
satisfied, after frequent disappointments, to sot
it down as an impossibility. And yet there
have been and are actors upon the stage
who approximate very nearly to the true
ideal. The representations of "Hamlet"
of late years by such men as Edwin Forrest,
James E. Murdoch, E.L. Davenport, and Edwin
Booth all present large claims upon the con
sideration of the public. Mr. Forrest's "Ham
let" la a magnificent piece of reading, and If we
could be satisfied with it merely as a reading, it
would be an eminently successful performance.
Mr. Murdoch, allhougti his talents are best
shown in tbe line of high comedy, is an oloqueut
and scholarly "Hamlet," and Mr. Davenport
plays tbe part with au intellectual power and
a poetical feeling that, In our estimation, enti
tle him to tbe first rank among tbe representa
tives of the character at tbe present day. Mr.
Booth, by entirely reinodolllug the business,
has presented the public with a "Hamlet" taut
has the claim of novelty, and that Is intrinsi
cally a very beautiful aud artistic representa
tion, at lea 1 so fur as its outward characteristics U
concerned. We do not allude now to Mr. Booth's
presumed personal fituvss for tbe part, upon
which his admirers dwell so particularly, but
to his manuer of performing it. Mr. Booth if
not a man of much intellectual depth, but he I
a thoughtful and studious artist. Ills ''Hamlet"
has the very great merit of belug picturesque
and poetical, lie does not bring out the grace
and beauty of Shakespeare's poetry iu a manner
equal to Mr. Forrest or Mr. Davenport, but he
does give a poetical personation that Is in every
way worthy of all the applause it has received
from the most judicious critics. Simply as u
piece of mechanism, it is superior to the effort-,
of the other five actors we have named; aud
although it is within the range of pixwlblllty
tnat we may see a greater --riauiiet wueu u
greater actor than Mr. Booth arises, it Ib doubt
ful whether we tthull see a representation of the
character that will afford so much real pleasure
to so large a number of Iiilt-lllgeut people, or
that will in every respect, except the very high
est, be eutllled to such betrty couiineudatioii.
That Mr. Fechter will succeed iu unsettling the
popular estimate of Mr. Booth Is extremely
doubtful, aud it Is even more doubtful whether
be will make as favorable au Impression ou the
more critical and thoughtful lovers of the
drama.
The aeoui oi an actor wuo promises to give a
new conception of "Hamlet" is au event of great
interest, and Mr. Fecbter was complimented last
evening by an audience that represented la au
emineut degree tbe culture aud artUttlc Usto of
Philadelphia. This artiot comes to us with a
dUtiuguisbed reputation that eutltles him to a
respectful bearing aud a careful estimate of his
merits and defects. If be can thro a new light
on such a complex and difficult creation as
"Hamlet," he may be set dowu without hesita
tion as a great artist, but If he
merely attempts to be original by play
ing it differently from everybody else,
then we may well doubt whether bo is likely
to improve noon the traditional uiiuner of
representing tbe part. If we have rei l Mr.
FechUr's record aright, his chief European
celebrity is as a graceful and picturesque melt
dramatic actor. He was tbe firat representa
tive of the "Corsican Brothers," and he ha
both In Europe and In this conntry received the
heartiest commendation for his "Ruy Bias" and
his "Lcgardero." In all these parts tbe pictur
esque element predominates, while poetry and
Intellect are unknown quantities, we Btated
above that Hamlet might probably be playod as
a melodrama merely for the sake oi Hi plc-
tureequenos and Its fine stage effects, and it is
Justin this manner that Mr. Fechtor doos play
it. A person who had nover road Hamlet, and
who bad never heard tbat the loading
role was one of the most profound and
Intricate croatlons of the human Intellect, would
probably esteem Mr. Fechter's "Hamlet" a very
interesting and entertaining periortnance,
although If he possessed a reasonable amouut
of good taste he would object to tbe shoutings
and bellowinirs and furious gesticulations that
disfigure every scone, and tbat turn some of the
most impressive and poetical passages ot the
sublime tragedy Into a mlsorable burlosque. Mr.
Fechter is a portly, woll-eonditionea gentleman,
with a rathor unpleasantly expressive face. He
dresses the part with great good tasto, aud his
blond wig, which has been the subject of so
much controversy, we consider an attractive
Innovation. Tbe utterance of the first line of
his part
"A little more than kin, and less than kind,"
grates unpleasantly on the ear on account of
tbe foreign accent and tho habit tho actor has of
running his words togothor without any attempt
at emphasis. This unpleasant improsslon is in
creased by tho soliloquy which follows tho exit
of tho "King" and ' Queen," when Mr. Fecbter
shouts until he is hoarse, and gesticulates like a
Bedlamite. Tltese characteristics of his actlnjr
are continued through tho entire play, and are
only abandoned at times for a jaunty, semi-facetious
stylo that is even more disagreeable. Oc
casionally there is a touch of genuine pathos
or a gleam of humor tbat is the more
gratoful as they are unexpected, but for
tho most part Mr. Fechter's blusterous manner
is the very opposite not only of the popular
ideal of "Hamlet, but of the character which
Shakespeare has outlined with sufficient dis
tinctness that it is impossible for any artist to
mistake it as Mr. Fechter does except wilfully
and for the deliberate purpose of doing some
thing tbat will create a sensation on account of
its singularity and strangeness. After the play
scene "Hamlet" is worked up to a high pitch of
excitement, and be raves with hysterical en
ergy, and this 1b the point in the drama that
makes the largest demands upon tbe physical
powers of the actor. Hero Mr. Fechtor out
berods Herod; he bellows not merely until ho is
hoarse, but until he absolutely loses all com
mand of bis voice and becomes incapable of
uttering an iutclllclble sound. We doubt
whether a tingle person in tho
audience could distinguish a dozen words
in this whole scene, and yet in the very same
act Mr. Fecbter speaks "Hamlets advice
to the player in a charming manner, that seems
to indicate that he knows und has weighed the
value of tbe words ho is uttering. It must
have struck every thoughtful person in the audi
ence as astonishing that the actor could not
apply to himself the finest criticism on the art
of acting ever written. In this advice of "Ham
let" to the player is contained tho most exact
and perfect description of Mr. Fechter s style
that we can offer. If Shakespeare had seen this
actor play "Hamlet," he could have said with
even-more propriety than he did, "O, it offonds
me to tbe soul to hear a robustious perlwlg
pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very
rugs, to split tbe ears of tho groundlings; who,
for tbe moht part, are capable of nothing but in
explicable dumb shows and noise," or further
on in the same speech, "O there be players,
tbat I have seen play and heard others praise
and tbat highly not to speak it profanely,
that, neither having tbe accent of Christians, nor
the gait of Christian, Pagan, nor man, have so
strutted and bellowed, that I have thought Some
of nature's journeymen had made men and not
made them well they imitated nature so abomi
nably." These words are a criticism and a con
demnation of Mr. Fechter's "Hamlet" more
emphatic than any we are able to pronounce.
It would be uujust to this actor, however, to
leave the impression that his personation of this
part is wholly bad, or that there is nothing in it
that cannot be praised iu the warmest terms.
In portions of tbe play he marks tho peculiar
mental condition of "Hamlet" with fine art that
we have never seen equalled, apart from some
of the uuplcasant peculiarities of style that are
apparent in even the best portions of tbe per-
fonnauce. The scene whh "Ophelia" in tho
third act, which most actors find so difficult, is
exquisitely played by Mr. Fechter, and the same
may bu said of his interview with the "Queen,"
although here there is too evident a striving for
mere pli-turesqueness and stage effect. The
scene with "Ophelia" has never been bettor
played upon the Philadelphia stage within the
memory of the present generation of playgoers;
but the closet scene with the "Queeu" has been
done, aud much better done, in all esseutial
particulars, by all the four great American
actors vi hose names we have mentioned in this
article.
As a work of art, Mr. Fechter's "namlot"
may be compared to tbe wonderful productions
of the pre-Kapbaelite artists who, some fifteen
years ago, kicked against the conventionalities
of the academies, and excited mingled feellugs
of ninusenicct aud disgust in the minds of
all beholders. The works of the leading pre
Kuphaelltcs possessed merit, very great merit,
and some of them genius of no common order,
They were so overladen, however, with pal
pable absurdities and unnecessary extrava
gancies that many persons were unable to see
any good Iu them at all. It Is thus with Mr.
Fechter's "Hamlet." Our best actors can learn
something from It, for the man is a true artist,
if he does lay on bis colors with a whitewash
brush, and cover up the metaphysical subtleties
of a most exquisite poetical creation with the
broad daubs of tbe scene painter.
Mr. Fechter is a French melodrnmatlo actor,
and the school in which he was educated is a
school of melodrama, light, superficial comedy,
and burlesque. It has never shown auy affinity
f r genulue tragedy, aud tbe production of
great tragic actress like Rachel was only one of
those exceptional occurrences that serve to
prove the rule. It may be set down as an no
deniable fact tbat a Frenchman, no matter how
cultivated he may be, cannot play Shakespearian
tragedy. Tbe vigorous character painting
and the sublime terror i of the English
dramatist aro beyond thi range of the
French imagination. The imagination of
Gcrome can reproduce with photographlo ac
curacy the deuth of Caesar or tho gladiators of
the arena, but be can no more depict upon his
canvas the metaphysical refinement of "Ham
let," the supernatural atmosphere of that sur
rounds "Macbeth," or tbe imperial grandeur
of "Lear's" madness, than Mr. Fechter can upon
the stage, la doallng with Shakespeare
Frenchman's only resource is to fall back upon
melodrama, and to make melodramas of
Shakespeare's tragodles cannot hut be offensive
to any cultivated Englishman or American.
(Mr. Fechter's peculiar accent, or accents, for
he has two, one picked up in Tarls and the other In
London, produce a somewhat ludicrous effect
at tlmos, and are very unpleasant at first. The
audience soon gets accustomed to this defect,
however, and It only morlts n passing notice, as
It has nothing whatever to do with the real
excellencies or defects of tbe performance.
! Mr. Fechter Is supported by Miss CarlotU
Lcclercq, a lady of prepossessing appearance,
who act somo portions of tbe part of "Ophe
lia" very mnch in Mr. Fechter's manner. Some
of her attitudos, gesticulations, and grimaces
are utterly beyond comprehension. Miss Lo
clercq, however, plays the mad scones finely,
and proves herself thereby to be an actress of
real ability.
i Mr. F. C- Bangs, another supporter of the
Vstar," gave a spirited performance of "Laertes,"
and the loading members of the company ren
dered the principal remaining characters in an
acceptable style, the "Claudius" of Mr. Morri
son and the "Polonlus" of Mr. Bailey, being
particularly entitled to commondation.
