In Victor hiK' drama of liny Mas, Mr.
Feehtcr is on lila own proiincl, and ho can pro
duce his effect without fear that the expecta
tions of his ntulience will reqnlro something of
him outside of the limits of his particular lino
of art. In this, as in all tho rest of Victor Hugo's
works, there in a fine humanitarian ldoa that ap
peals in the strotigoBt manner to tho Bympathlos
of any audience, although the points upon
which tho dramatiot Insists mod decldodly are
appreciated more heartily in Europe than in this
country. Tho wrougs against which such plays
as this protest have scarcoly a shadow of an exist
ence hero, and to a theatro full of Americans
Jiuy lilas depends for success quite as much
upon its romantic story and strong stago effects
as npon tho fact that it Is tho glorification of a
man above tho spirit of caste, and the pride, In
solence, and rapacious cruelty of that rotten
system of social organization that culminated
In the bloody protest of the French Revolution.
It is the humanltarlanism of Victor Hugo's plays,
however, that gives them their vitality and
elevates them above the level of mere romance.
They never rise to the dignity of tragedy, as we
are able to define tragedy from the
study of tho works of the great mastors of the
art, but they are melodramas of the
highest class, and under ordinary circumstances
they are more satisfactory in presentation npon
the ftaco than bettor works. The reason for
this it is not difficult to determine. In Shake
speare's tragedies many of the audience go to
the theatre with preconceived Ideas of their own,
derived from attentive and critical study of tho
poet, and they find that very few actors are
capable of expressing a modicum of the moaning
that there is in the piece they are performing.
Actors, too, stan d in a certain awe of Shake
speare, which embarrasses their efforts and pre
vents them from moving with the same froedom
that they do under ordinary circumstances. It
is well that this is so, and that there is a high
ideal in dramatic art that can at all times be
considered as a crucial test of merit. In the
melodramas of the French romantic school of
which Victor lingo is the head, there Is none of
the fine character painting that we have in
Shakespeare, and none ot the lofty and impas
sioned poetry, but there is usually an interesting
plot, broad, obvious, and picturesque stage
effects, and characters that represent certain
types of men sketched in bold and vigorous
outline. There is something left for the actor
to create, and he is able to give form and color
to the sketches of the dramatist without being
perplexed by metaphysical subtleties and the
superabundance of material. Works of this
class appeal strongly to the emotions, and they
make but slight demands upon the intellectual
resources of cither actor or audience.
In Ituy Bias Victor Hugo has made a pictur
esque contrast with the "Queen," the noble, the
vagabond, and the lackey. The noble has the
soul of a lackey beneath his gold-laced doublet,
and the lackey, ennobled by love, shows himself
to be a man and a gentleman worthy of the
affections of a queen. The vagabond "Don
Caesar" is the bettor element of feudal no
bility perverted and made an outcast from so
ciety by the evils of a false and cruel system;
and in the ''Queen" we see a warm-hearted, true,
and loving woman crushed beneath the elabo
rate artificial ties and the burdensome eitquette
of tho Spanish, court. With such material as
this all the best qualities of Mr. Fechtcr's stylo
have ample opportunities for free play. His
earnest and impasslonate manner secures
the attention of his audience and
carries them with him through the developments
of the play with unabated interest. The over
powering but respectful , love for a woman
beyond his reach is vividly pictured to the
audience, and in the two interviews with the
"Queen" Mr. Fechter plays the lover in a
manner that we have never seen surpassed. The
striving for mere picturesque stage effect that
was so objectionable in some portions of his
"Hamlet" is not only not offensive but It appears
both appropriate and natural in "Ruy Bias." In
the great scene with which the play concludes,
Mr. Fechter reaches the climax of melodramatic
art, and nothing can be finer in its way than the
manner in which he turns upon "Don Salluste"
when tho latter thinks he has both the "Queen"
and her valet lover in his power. The attitude
of the actor when he exclaims, 'I was
your lackey, now I am your exe
cutioner," is superb. Mr. Fechter's personation
of "Ruy Bias" is in many respects superior to
any that has ever been given in this city, but
even in this, one of his fiuest, if not his very
finest part, be does not so far excel the Ameri
can actors who perform this character that he
can be ranked as eminently their superior. Mr.
Fechter Is undoubtedly a very fine actor, but
he is not the successor of Oarrlck, Eean, or the
elder Booth; and we do not understand that any
such prominence has been claimed for him in
Europe, except perhaps by a few enthusiastic
admirers whose enthusiasm is not tempered by
judgment. The majority of the criticisms he
has received in this country agree in all essen
tial points with the opinions of the most thought-
f ul English judges, aud it is evident that we will
have to wait still longer for the coming man
an actor who will be to the playgoers of to-day
what we understand Garrlck and Kean to have
been to those of the past, or what we have our
selves seen Ristorl and Janauschek to be.
Mr. Fechter was well supported last evening
by Miss Leclercq, who acted admirably as the
"Queen" in all the emotional scenes, although
in other portions of the play her style is open
to criticism that can scarcely be otherwise than
dlsDaraerlnK; and by Mr. Bangs, who gave a
epirlted personation of "Don Ballusto." Mr.
Walcot as "Don Cti'sar de Bazan" was perfectly
bis element, and he showed what he can do
when put upon his mettle and when fitted with a
part that suits him in all respects. Mr. Wolcot's
was a very superior performance in all respects,
and it is to be regretted that the actor lost an
opportunity, and the audience a real grutitlca
tWn, by the total disappearance of "Don Cassar"
after the first scene, owing to the omission of
the whole ot the fourth act of the play, where
ha returns to complicate the plans of both "Don
Salluste" and "Ruy Bias." This act is neces
eary to a clear understanding; of the purport of
the latter part ol the play, ana wun s gooa an
actor as Mr. Walcot in the part of "Don Ctfsar,"
It oucht to be restored, even at the rltsk of
obscuring In some degree the brilliancy ot the
"star." t

artistic merit that commouds them to tho notice
