Tho title-part I8 an ontiot for cmotional acting which fow roles in tho range ot the modern drama afford, ond this s the standing opol- ogy for lis ropresontation nd nausenm. Could a play bo coldly aualyzod a8 & mora work of art, with its drift and teachings unheedod and forgotten, this threadbare story of gulity love and solf-sncrifico would leavo littlo for unfavor- ablo eriticlem, and heroin lies tho vory dangor of tho play, fn thet it insididusly relnxes tint protectivo Inw of soclety without which socioty would conso to oxist. But it will hold tho stage for tho renson wo havo given. It called out last ovomng atb tho Acadomy of Musio an audionco of unususlly critical acumen ; one unusod to patronizo tho small-fry of the stago, and probably as hostilo to tho spirit of * Camille™ a5 could bo found. It is probablo that that audience Jott tho theatro with now improssions of tho pleco, for Mies Mornig' representation of tho principal character was 80 novel, 80 vivid and start.

Such an idealization of the chiaracter becomes tha moro disgusting a4 it is moro artistic, and it is supromely both. 1t is ono of tha pooutiaritics of Miss Morris to roduco a characlor down to tho minutosu parfecs tion of detail, nnd to leave the unimportaut and comMonplaco phases of its exhibition to n mere imitation of ovory-day life, roumving tho full strongth of tho passion for poriods. In no case, Yhorstoro, can sho strain a_porsonstion boyond the bounds of l:rnbubmty‘ Al her crontions stand out paturally therofore upon tho stago. When to this is ndded a marveolous force of pna- sion which sweeps tho sympathios of nu sudionca beforo it, thero is acombination of iutelloct and porsonal’ power which s [rrosistiblo. Buch a forco has full play in Camille, and in tho third and fourth acts tho climaxes aro startling boyond anything upon the modern stage, and abaolutely avorpawering, ‘Tho play of pnssion and resolu- tiou ia littla short of wondorful, and tho epoll upon the audionco is not eurprising, Tho fifth act of tho deawa is in its way a vivid imitation of dissolution, but,being imitativo only, possessce but a secondary dogreo of merit, It 18 in tho third and fourth acts that Miss Mortis is at her grentest hoight.

His most ardent admirers could scarcoly have laoled for such powor a8 ho dm{flu)'od in the passionato scenos of Iast ovoning, and it is gratifying to noto that tho nudieiico, whils it monifested its admiration of tho star, did not overlools the astonishing oxcollonco of Alr, Mur- docln, Tho fourth uct, from its incop- tion to tho flnal tableau, was worked up to such o frenzy of passion that tho audience conld bhardly restrain its im- pationce, and, bofora the cuctain foll, gave way to a storm of ngplnuso which ouly the acknowl- cdgements of the priucipals could gllay.
