A'VICKER'S THEATRE, _ “A dramatio performance quite out of the ordinary range of stage productions " was thean- xnouncoment and semi-prediction made in Tor Tawuxs of Suudey in roforence to the forthcom- ing prosoutation of **1he Woman 1 Waite" at MoVicker's Monday evening, with Mr., Wybert Reeve ar Count Fosco. The announcement aud the prediction wero bssed, chiefly, upon tie probabihities in tho caso, arising from the fact that the vorsion of the play to be presented by Mr. Reovo was writton exprossly for him by Wilkio Colliny, the aathor of the story, who not merely dramatizod it, but, in many important particulars rowrote and rocoustrucied it, Given, then, o play from the pon of tha greatest plot-wriler of the century, and grounded upon tho stiongest of all hia plots, together with an actor of tried ability and proved reputation upon the London boards, wheto ho enactad tho pari ot Fosco 500 vonsccutive nightv,—and it was reasonablo to anticipate something out of the common., It \ras an oxpectation not geuerally sharod, for the sttendance last nighc was quite small—absardly 60, in tho faco of the fact that dramatic por- formauces of equul intorost aud eric are not frequently mer with in Clucago or else- whore, Our publis {8 slow to accopt a socond-hand verdict upon tho question of merit, and it will probably Lo discovered, for the firat time, about Saturday night that one of the finost acturs on_tho stago has appomsod all the | woel in one of the most powerful nnd intereat- iug dramna over produced hore. Thuo who Lavo read **The Woman in White” need not Lo, fold what an iutensity of intorest a.teuds the dovelorment of cho siory, The drama is uo ox- copticn i this respoct. It is put together by tho samo mastar-hand, whose capacity dor culmin- adon and climax amounts almoss to genius in that direction, From ilie timoe the curtam rises, tho motive and moaving of the plot are plaily d sclosed, and the progress is uniuterrupted and unmurred, it would soom, by o Einge lime or incidont ‘that could well be spared, A: times the strain upon the suditor is something nearly paiuful in its intensmty, and one undd ot forgetting that Le is witnossing more nmic seeues ana events. This is peculiail; true of the sceno betwcon Count Fosco su Waller Hartwrright, in the former’s spartmont, which 1u 80 atrikingly effective in the hands of Alr, Reove and Alr, U'Neil that the most burdon- ‘od pluy-goor shudders with _approhension that the daa&ume aud enraged Italian, pistol in band, will actuslly cariy ouc his threns to ** seat. ter th, sa clever brains juat ju front of tha flre- place.” It s difficult to bolieve, for the moment, that the frightful gloam of the eye und the ncrvous cluteh of tho weapon do mot menn 4 cioar cate of murder in tho frst_degree. This I8 fine scting ; not Llood-and-thunder raut, and forocious motace, but: quiot, supproased, taribly intonso acting, of & schoof all too rare awmoug actors who are estcemed groat. Indeed, this aubtle power, without the aid of ordinary stage clap-trap, is displayed throughout tho pieco by Mr. Reovein s manncr which stamps him a thorough artist in the art by which art is con- cenled. “His flist outrance i8 quiet, unpretend- ing, and incking tue grand fourish in which the “giar " usually claims the priviloge of indulging, and it i8 nit uitil wo hear: “l'm Couut Fogco,” spoken 8o utterly unliko the traditioual siyle of gelf-mtroduction, that we begin to recognize, in the portly figure, koen eyo, dark skin, and slight foreign accent, oue of the most contradiotory and diflicult oharacters that ever fell 1o aw actor's lot to impersonate. Mr. Reove hos wads a study of it, and he Lias mastored it to 8 degreo of perfection which should scoure for him unusual distinction as a #Hne arcdst. A pressure of time and space prevents & more ex- tended notice of his remarkable performance of Count Foaco. Enough has boen already said to indicats the o'tnracter of tno entertainmant, and to indoree it m the strongost terms, Alr, Reove's support by McVicker's company s _really excollont throughout. Mia, Allen, a8 Marion Halcombe, givos o faithful and finished picture of that warm-hearted, couragoous, encrgotio girl. Mrs. Htoneall and Mra, Ayers are both geon to good advaninge, the former as Madame Fosco and tho latter in tho dual role of Anne Catherick and Laura Fairlie. Mr. Bock seldom doos himsol? so much credit as in Sir Percival Glyde, aud Mr, Seymour gives an_admirable rop- resentation of Prof, Pesca. Mr. O'Neil, as Waller Hartwright, is at bis vory best. 'Thopart brings out what i esrnest and manly in ) snd ho fllls ite requirements well, Completo commondation can be passed upon tho performe ance of “Tho Woman ln White,” with but ono excaption, and fhat a nooaless one—the wretehed ottempt at music made by the vory poor or- chostra. If peoplo's eara inuss ba tortured bo- twoen acts, in moercy lat Mr. McVicker procure a houd-organ. It would bo vastly more harmoni- ous, and much less expensive. ACADEDIY OF MUSIO, Mrs, James A.
