LANGTRY’S ACTING may be ney in few woras. Therg ate two kinds otf actreses— those who are actresses and those who are not; and she belongs to the latter class. When she tries she acts badly; when she does not try she does net act at all. When she appears as a charming and _attrac- tive ladv of high life she appears well, but she does not act at all; she is merely Mrs. Langtry, What are her requisites. her endowments fer success in the drama? None what- ever. Her voice is harsh and un- sympathetic; her face is devoid ot dramatic expression ; her nature and disposition are cold and unmovable ; she has not one spark of that divine flame of genius which makes a great actress,.nor of that human tender- ness which make a winning one. ‘ASH HOUSE AS FOR HER BEAUTY. ca, est autre choose.

The result was that the masterpiece was painted red; there was not a citizen who did not have his own special fault to find with at, So it is with Mrs. Langtry’s beau- and yet she is a physical master- piece, with a most winning presence, shapely, graceful and womanly, She might have come ta St. Louis unheralded and unknown, and she could not have walked down Fourth street without drawing all eyes after her; she could not go inte any com- pany without being the center of-ob- servation and of admiration, = | trom her beauty thin trom that . definable semething or those ae j able manythings that make up the / perfect lady or the social queen. { i trv confirms i photographs, that her beauty is not | of the old Greek type, and has noth- ‘ing classical about it; it of tae i fresh modern Bnitish type—healthy, { hearty.
