But where feel- ing and parsion come into play, sic is not a succesa; an_instimce of which is hes last performance in * Faust,” in which_she is a vory clever copy of her grest rivals, but czmmot deceive practiced ees, The secret of hor failure in_such roles s Hurouerite is this: The woman who has uever loved, who hasnever kmown what it is to b loved, such a woman can never torm a truo conreption of Goetlie's heroine, can never hope to enter inta its spirit, This is the old. old story. Applying.it to Miss Rellogg, wa bave the sight to assumo that she canuot play Martha, because sha never hired out 28 2 faym-servant ; that she cannot plsy Voletta, because sho bLss nover beeu o consumptive coquette; that she cannot play Lucia, becausa she has naver thrown Lerself away 0a a man she aid not love. owing to her brothec’s importunity ; that she cannot play Zeriina, in * Fra Diavolo,” because she has nover had tandits in ber toom at improper hoars of the night; sad that she capnot plav Zerling, in “Don Jusn,” becauss she bas never beon harassed by & gay Lothario, and 8o on, 2nd 50 on. If the woman who has never loved and bas naver knowa whas it is to beloved can nover play Marguerile, how is it that Nils- 00, and Lnces, and Patti, and Carvalao, great- ecut of ail Margueriles, played the part 3o well duning years in which tbey knew no more about lova than they did about Sanserit ? ‘WOLFSOHN'S SCHUMANN'S RECITALS.

There is u growing dissausfaction smongman- sgera 28 weil as the public with the present form of the drams. Somo of the thougits here sug- gested were derived from & conversation with an ezperienced and thoughtful theatrical catorer, the subject whereof was the change that had come over tho modorn echool. That thera is sneh a change: can be beut seen by comparing one of the faxontes of to-day with those which held the stage without in{eriuption oven s ferw years ago. The earlier comedies of Bjrcu, Tom Taglor. and others, 1ro 5o manifestly dif- fereat from picces of the present style that 2fter a run of TFrench trauslations, or tho Amer- ican imitstion thereof, tho good pieces of even a decade ago appesr heavy and old- fashioned. We eveu expect to see the ladtes in tho drama dressed lhike the fashion- plates of 1845, with a score of narrow flounces on their dresses, large straw bonnets, and & cir- cumference of skirt like nothing so much as a parachate. But more thap all dows finds diffarence in the disposition of TEOD COMEDY ELEMENT of a piece. Since Robertsou wiote his Iast play, 3 comedy to which all the characters ministered in a degrec has not been put upon the stage. “Tho dramatiat of to-day makes his pieces pre- cisely a8 & cook Taakes an apple-pie,—so much flour, so much brtter, so mncu apple, 8o much sngar, spice, and lemov-poel. Plays are mads by rccipe, and mot by ingenui Plots mugt vary a iittle, hat apparently even the plot itself is_begioning to zssume the same futed mold. If thingecontinuo as they &re now pro- guessing, diamatists will soon begin to write identical picces. and then race for the first pro- duction. We luve THE ALLOTTED LIST OF CHARACTERS, —the faithless wife of the leading man seduced by tho heavy man, whoso villawics are partially atoued for Ly the comedian, while the old man uttors proper moral maxims, and the old lady porsopates tho disagreeable mother-in-law, aud 80 on through the cast. Duels— long since absudoued in civilized eoun- trics—are introduced to intonsify the ivterest_aad quicken the action. Dialogue must differ according to tho tempersment and personality of the suthor, but after studying the same models winch have supplied Smith, Jones, snd Brown with convereation for their plays, it 18 mot to be wondered at that Robiuson's idea of dislogue would psss for that of any of hu triends. There is now but one soverely original dram- atist writing for the English and Ataerican stage, and that ono is W. 8. GILDERT. His fancy is frosh, ana his wit keon and pungent. As & role s dramatic construction i3 weak. The techaical featuros of lus plays are inferior to thoso of other English dramatists, whils the lterary ment s far beyond thewm. 1t will bonoticed that the comedian in all modern plays has about the eame part to fulfill, Hauwalet's caution to tho player, * Letnot your cetor speak more than is set dowa for lum,” imust be observed of necessity, for the poor fol- low speaks almost the sams lives in every mod- ern comedy. He is deganerating into an automa- ton, with the same opportunities that the clown hiasin pantomime. ho consoquenco ia that hia “ busmess” is becoming as steicutyped as that of the clown. Week aiter week he piays thesame tricks over mud over egain, and bores Limself and bis sudience with ropetiuons of what bas long since bacome & wearincss. He is chuined to tho stake which the drawatist of the present uninteresting era first drove into tho ground, and on which each succeeding play- wright has dealt a blow to make him more sc- caro. His captivity is accomplisued. His littlo circle is & narrow one, and_ho covers it nightly. Ho reminds us of the dancing bear of the menag- erie, who has long sgo became reconciled to his base circamscription, and cares not a particle ‘whetber in bis monotonous circuit he ontangles bimselfin his chun and becomes inert sud stupid or not. The comedian must break his chain. There is but one way to doit. Tne old system which made comed:ans must be restorad. WE MUST HAVE THE FARCE, or wo shall lose our comedians. Playwrights in the old time made the actors; actors in our day make the plays aod thoir authors. The 0D tion is_on tho wiong eide, aad the soonor the ‘wrong is righted the better. Tho causes which have hrought abont thI: was customary in the last era of respectablo dramatic representation to open or conclude each piece with a farcs. ILven a Bhakspearcan tragedy was precoded or followed by ome of these brilliant bits of humor, and the con- trast was grestly to tho benefit of audi- ences. Tho orator who desires to movo hs hearers to tears, and stir their sympnthies to tho utmost, will first tickle their fancy with bumor, and then catching themat the rebound carry them with him. O this prio- ciple the farce was s feeder to the tragedy. Again, after a dismal, dreary play, the manage- ment invariably flung in 2 rattling farce to clear awzy the melancholy improssion, and send the bhearors out in the sunshine of mirth. It wasa protty idea, but it took time. Dramaticperform. ances commenced then at an hour which woald pow be unfashionsble. The curtain rose gen- erally at 7 o'clock upon the farce. By tho time the prelimivary performancs was over, the last tardy play-goer had takoo his seat, andthe majestic movament of the tragedy was not in- {errupted by the rush and rustleof silk and heavy boots, of chatter and remonstrance, of confusion and vulgar display, Such a perform- ance was a loug ope, and thoae who paid for their geats got the worth of their money. It frequently happened toat it ran beyond 11 o'clock. ‘This made a performance of fonr hours. Eleven is not s lato hour. Four-act French pieces run 28 long nowadays, and longer. But the public is_dilatory, and our customs have changed. Audiences could sssemble at 7 as easily 2s at balf-past 8 o'clock, if there were any inducement for 80 doini; Bat the hour for leav~ ing the theaire haaits disadvantsges. It isthe parsimony 20d want of judzment of our STREET-BAILEOAD MANAGEMENT, which makes that hour unfavorable for sesking home. And from canss to affect it is this very mismsnagement which has eliminated _the farce from the tboatrical entertainment. It 'is this which givea tLoe oaly shadow of excuse for the vulgar scarry to the door before the curtain has bezan to descend. It shortens tho per- formauce, and robs it of one of its beat features. Thore are other causes, however. THE MODERY 80CIETY DEAM Iscking the elemont of legitimate interest, relies upoa the wealth of its setting, the idea beiog to ministor to the oye. Toset snch scenes 3 wo aro accustomod to dewmand takes time, and a great deal of it is wasied in tho entr'acte. This is lamentable, because it stretches the dra:na out beyond anv reasoanable nocessity. The four-act condonsation of adultery occupies as loug a time for represcotation as the five-act tragedy. This roacts upon the maoager again in anoiber way. The entr'acte of 2C minutes must bo filled in by hook or by crook. Somebody rust do it. Tho orchentra must, unless a ballet is iutroducad. There must bs omothing to keop the mind em- ploved, and an orchetrs wonld be more gencrelly 1ccepizablo to plar-goers. Consequently THE ORCHESTRA, Lies become of necessily a featora of theatrical economy. Compotition han driven the manager of to-da¥ to make the orcliestra & very expousive addition to his forces. We heve one manager boasting that he pays his orchestra $400, zud tie critics, justly praisiog thia feature, the rival manager will not be outdone. Ho must have the best orchestra a3 well 23 tho best company, and thers it is. With in- creased expense thers is no corresponding income. What he pays the orchestra must bs dedacted from some other branch of his busi- uess, or there must come a smash. We hava expensive companies in town—thers aro few in the country which cost more to maintain. Busi- ness fortanately bas hold up this reason with astonishing persoverance, but the high-pressura system is dangerons, to speak mildly. Things are being overdone. Alusic 18 & very charming adlition to the dramatic stage. Could it be maintained witbout sacnficing tae other features of the drama it would be desirable. But there is too much of it. The drama is sacrificed to it. THERE 1S AXOTHER POINT which maunagers 2ad even stars overlook in the long leap between the acis. The isterest of the drams ig apt to flag very decidedly. The curtsin falls on & thrilliog tablesa. Before the next sceno follows, thaitapression has been, in a great measure, effaced by events outside the drama. The orchestra has dona its bast to interrnpt, by charming but iungpmpn:ne music, the trait of emotions wkich the drams has sct in metion, and by the tims the fumss of alcobol from the adjoining saloon bein to circulzse through the bouse, the last tablean is as indistiuct before the menta! vision a3 the photographer's proof of a last year's portrait. AS 20 1nstance of this, let us meption the experionze of Joo Jefarson with “Rip Van Winkle.” Botween the second snd third acts twenty years are supposed to elapse. A great deal of clsnge has to be mado in the appearanca of the artist. It took Mr. Jefferson some eighteen or tweaty minutes to arrango the siage, dress, and prepars every- thing for the opeainz sceno. Even with tha ausziliary efforts of the orchestra, he found the imprassion lett by the tablean of the sccond act £0 evaneacent that it faded before the curtain was yung up. He was compelled, therefore, to hasten ms movements, snd by dint of the utmost ondeavor reduced the entr'acta here to nine minutes. The conirast between the R of the two later acts was shmp and powerful, and is 0o ous of the marvols of the dramatic What is truo of Rip is trus of say picco of = acting. A long tr'acto i8 ez sbomination. Ir must be rolazstion, it must not be hurled into tho currect of the drama. Onr fathera were not the doits wo appear to thivk them. Their metirods were not all de- serving of contempt. They loved pwity sud art more than we do ; they loved ostentation snd dieplay less. Their relaxation in the theatrs was wisely chosen and legitimate, and wo should do well to imitale them. Our modera comedies are dismal enoagh to tako the placo of the tragodies aud molodramas of a by-gono aze. Let us ameliorato our condition with a restoration of .the farce. Abbreviato Shnkepearo, if neces- sary, and give us a farce afterwards; improve our modern gocioty drema to the eitent of omit- ting balf of 1t, but give us back tho farce. We do ot want the coxrse znd vulgar members of chat glittering family; there are huadreds which aro unaxceptionable. Let our managers give them & trinl. Let thom raise the curtain half an hour earlier, and cut down the entr'acte. It will bs money added to their store, and plessure to that of their patrons.

We ars to have two of the bost artists on tho stago as stars at McVicker's and the Academy, Carlotta LeClercq and Misa K. Rogers Randolph, formerly Kathar- ine Rogers. At the comedy theatrs we shall seo for the first time Partloy Camobell's Iast efort, “The Virginian,” which will first see the light whoro 5o many others of Mr. Campbell's have appoared.

Bartley Campbell's new piece, “ The Virgin- ian,” will be presented to-morrow evening with a good case. Tho story is based upon an incident of the War, and its characters are of humble tspe. The story is a sad one, aud is told in tive acts. We append the folluwing synopsis of the drama : Act First—A wayside inn in the heart of tho Allegho- nies, {atroducing Cromwell Calvers and Annaniaa Ginale, tho former proprietar of tha tavern, and the latter an intimate, much given to oratory sud love- making, the object of Lis devoirs belng Mims Jenking, & waiting-maid, who secms a little unwilling to share affection with the buttle, Richard Culvert, the son of the Doniface, has joined the Federal agmy operating under McDowell “on the Potomac, leating his wife, Kale, eze the honaymoon has waned, in_ the charge of bis father. As the curlain rises tho news of the fight at ¥airfax has jus: resched the youug wife, and she 15 devoured with anxioty Jest her husband should be in- cluded among the alsin. At this moment, Vandyke Vernon, a refuges from the Old Dominion, puts in 3n ppearance, and {3 at onco smitten by the beanty of Kale, but, Tearning that she i 3 wife, conceals his feelings, 30d »ita down to the enjosment of creature comforts, in_the shapo of provender and atimalating Dbeverages. The act closes with the arrival of Jehn Pennington from the front, who brings intelligence of Richard Calrert's death at Frirfaz, and of the fac: that tho body ot the dead man fell into the bands of the ensmy. " Pandyke Vernon is on hand, of course, to sympathize with the bereaved widow, and as tus curfain closes in the picture the straing of bass music and thetread of & martial hoct are heard without, giring color to the exclamation of Mias Jenkins, “Hurrah! AMore troops for the front!” Act Second—This gives us a view of Van Vernon's ouse 3¢ the close of the war. In the period which i3 supposed to hiave elapsed Van Lus married the widow, and thoy are in ion of a great deal of haphi- ness, inclusive of & golden-haired child of 3. A con- siderabla portion of this act i3 given up to some freal comedy business, and closes with the arrival of Thehard Calrert, whom it is now discovered did not full ot Fairfax, but, on the contrary, has been a oner of war for four years. Ha cisims his wife, 23 might be expected, and_ ¥an, after extracting a prom- isa that abie should no be txken away until tae follow- ing day, yields her up. Act” Thani—Van and Kate, supremely wretched, settle up their accounts, divide their —eavings, aud say farewell. Oa arrival of Rithard Culvert to take Kate to his home, Fun en- counters tho pair on the threshold, and eceing that his child ka3 also boen made readsfor de— parture, seizos the liitle cae, with the exclumation, “This woman may be yonr wile, sir; but this little ono ia my chld.” An avrsmgement ‘mude that the niotlier shiall e Llre privil ing her offapriag twice s year; but mudcess by jealousy, refunes, w. semi-annnal visit comet sroand, to lot Kate go, 20d 3 terrible acene of crimination follows, which i about to end in viclence, wien Van's opportune arrival brings e Tow 10 an end, and tho act 10 8 close.
