Her impersonation of Ophelia, to Mr. Edwin Booth's "Hamlet," for one hundred nights, at Winter Garden, New York, and of Eater Ecoles, in "Caste," and Dora, in tho exquisito idyl of that name, both originally performed by her in this oountry, aro quolcd and approved as among the most vuluable treasures of thd contemporaneous Btage. Her Julia in "The Hunchback" recalls, in its rquisito dolioaoy and tremulous sensibility, the charming excellence of Julia Dean in tha same part. Mrs. Chanfrau' s eugagement here is for six nights only, ; commencing on Thursday ovening. Her opening piece is "Tho Wife's Ordeal." . |
