Show Marble Beaut. The performance of last evening was one to be loDg remembered. re-membered. Tho beautiful drama of "The Marble Heart" ie quite familiar to cur play-goers, but whsn performed i by such a combination of artistes it , must long be borne in mind as one of j the notable drima-.ic even ta of the! season. The character of Raphael is that 01 ao artist and a sentimentalist, who, though deeply enamored with his art, yet abandons it for the blandishments bland-ishments and fasinations of the beautiful beau-tiful marble-hearted demon Marco. Raphael was finely portrayed by Edwin Ed-win Adams. Volagc, the editor of the "Magic Lantern," was all that the erratic, genial and faithful friend of truth and honor could possibly be, in the hands of the talented John Mc-Cullough. Mc-Cullough. Bat tho chef d'auvre of tho evening was the Marco of Miss Helen Tracy. Her fascinating and winning manners were amply sufficient to captivate the heart of the noblest artist in France, and it did not seem remarkable that the infatuated Raphael Ra-phael should surrender hope and life in obedience to the spell which the heartless coquetto had thrown around htm. Marie was beautifully given by Miss Adams, and the whole performance perform-ance was worthy of high encomiums. To-night, the greatest of Shak-speare's Shak-speare's tragedies, "Hamlet," with Mr. Edwin Adams in the title role. This is considered in New York as Mr. Adams' greatest character, audits announcement should fill the theatre here as it invariably does there. |
