Show Mas. Landeh as Elizabeth. A full house greeted the Grst appearance of this great actress iu her favorite role last night. It is not too much to say that her impersonation has rarely been surpassed on the American stage. Helen Fawcett iu her palmiest days perhaps evinced greater power, but our land was never permitted to witness the marvellous ability of that consummate consum-mate artiste. Mrs. Hinder is a great actress, and with great good- judgment makes tho best possible use of all accessories at her command. Her absolute fidelity to history in tho matter of dress and all the parajdicrn ilia of the stage, extouds to the minutest dc- j tails, and the effect of this care is to essentially heighten the satisfaction and enjoyment of tho spectator. The lady looked every inch a Queen, and has lost none of that firo aud strength which bave for many years given her a leading place upon tho American stage. She was supported with great ability abil-ity by Mr. McKenzio as the Earl of j Essex, whose scene on tho occasion of his return from Spain was an exceedingly exceed-ingly effective piece of acting. The other members of the company acquitted acquit-ted themselves successfully, and the ; wholo performance gavo great gratification gratifi-cation to one of tho most intelligent and critical audiences of the season. Tho piece is admirably placed on the stago and reflects great credit upon tho management, To-night "Elizabeth" again. |
