The Eastern Lewspapers not long sgoreported Mr. Sullivan as baving said that he kaew he #tood at the head of s profession. He may never have eaid eo, but the speech seems per- fectly characteristic. Mr. Bullivan has conveyod the impression everywhers, dunog hie present tonr in America, of solf-consciousness and self~ satisfaction. He has many traits of character pot un.ike those of tha great Richelieu whom he attempts so unsuccessfully to portray. He uas inordinate sambition, unfailing confidence iu humeelf. and no great capacity for fesling. The quahities with which he 8 endowed aze of a bigh nrder, but ther 2rs not eudicient in themselves so comjlete his artistic oxsicuce. An actor without an emotional temperament 1s made, not born ; and euch we conceive to be the case with Mr. Bunlivap. As 2o artiet Le is tho producs of ha:d study and some physical quali- fications for thé profession. Eech of the i~ persopations which he gave in” this city last week was deficient in feeling; and it was for this rea-on, no doult, that the Richelieu aud Rickard were 80 much more eatisfactory than the Beverly ané Hamlet. The former two parta requure less feeting than the others. Alr. Suili~ van is what 18 tachulcally termed an atellectust actor. He koowes his part through aad through, ~the lines, the meaning of each separats word, tho character =s a whole. If his concaption is ot miways correct, at least 1t has some color of reason, and recommends itself {0 acveptance on some grounds, even though they be msufficiont. But Afr. Sullivan rarely feels bis part. Hs does not forget. His selt-coosciousness is ever-abia~ mg. This general criticism might be applied to sach ome of Mr. Sullvan's impeisonations in detail, if it wers worth the while: bt the idea foes not requixs particuisr spplication. RICIABD L1 was one of the eariiest and most magnificent patroos of the eisge. Posierity bas damped him for bis paimi. The dram:tists and actors who owed hum sums gratitude for his eariy favors drew lum, for the amusement, ot the instruc- sion, of mankind tn the biackest colors. He nas been maxie the ossencs of baseness, the type of inpratitode, the persovification of marder and Ml monpwous cnmss. We had thoughbt it im- possible for any new artist to painc Richard blacker tun b has been portrayed for centuries past; but: Mr. Sullivan seems to accomplish oven thin. His Richard, in the early acts of [ tho pisy, wss a leering estyr—s grinning embodiment of all that is horrible in mau. Later oo, the character was enuobied, mn » slight degree, by the addition of brate couraoe, —3 quality wluch there bad not previoucly been spportunity to» dispiay. Mr. Sullvan’s concep- tion of thus i 18 Nut, fike his Richelieu, surik- ingly original. 1t is merely an intenmfication of what has beem given before. Iuis carefully elsborated, anct its outlives are sbarply draw.. Tuus the dark .Gaces of the characier are made to etand ot in stroug relief. The impersonation is highly sstisfactory. 1t fails of pe:fec.ion, whers Mr. SaBan aeed Bot Taih, 1 e expres. #ion of an infinte vane:y of feclng by aifferent intonations. 'Hes Richard is oot marvelvus, 25 tradion tells us the older Kesn's-was, for sug- den 20d marsed transitions. The reason for his level delivery zdmis of » doutls explsna. tion. Itseoms 10 him to expressthe characier of Richard coirsctly ; moteover, Mr. Suliyan dcea not repre.ient a great variety of feeling, be- canse he haxn't, it 10 represent. He acts Richard, und 88 Richard was generally acting s part hum. solf Mr. Suiiviin in” eome mensure succeeds m bringing outthe salient features of the charsc ter. It 1s when Richard 1s stirred bevond boands sad forgets humsalf that A(r. Sullivan sncceeds least. Mr. Bullvam does not forge: himmerf, As to the quaiity of Mr. Sulivan's voice, we swero partially misiead, eatly in the week, by its stua- ed barshness and infiexibility in the part of Richard. It did not then eem possibls tnas he should intentionally mar the beauties of the lines by s monotosous delivery; he wonld not orely have done so If bad entered ‘fally’ im0 the piit of the piay. M. Sullivan’s Ruchard must still be conceded a high degree of merit. 50'far as the conception and general business of tue part are concerned, there bas not been a Sner rendering of the play in Chicago for years, if ever beforo. The seeny with Lady Anne m the first act was admirably Fiven, though with jerbaps a trsco too much of low-comedy acting. The soliloyuy so well fized in every achool-boy's memory—-* Now is the win- ter of oar diecouteut,” ete.—was full o1 points, most of whica showed the pecunisiities of the actor ta good advantsge. It afforded a fair field for ali the posturiug and_by-play that Mr. Salli- ¥an's long experionce has zuggested to hum, The scene with Lady Anne 1m the third act and the speech on ** Cousciencs * wore finely rendor- ed. The crowning pioce of tho play was, as it should be, the tent acene, which would bave beon as perfect as art could sucgest if it haq 20t been for the defects of elocation already no- ticod. ** Give meanother Liorse, ete., was prelude-d a series of most intense and punful gaspa, which bioke for.h at last with » supreme effort And impressive force in the word *Give.” Tho effect was very strong. The fighting scens be. iweca Richimond and Richard was performed by Mr. Cathe and Mr. Suliivan wita unosaal epirit and skull, It is the moo: remariable stage ombas that bas beso seen in Americs for maoy sears, and already famod as such all over the tountry,. On the whole, Mr. Sullivan's Richard may be summed up eomething in the samo terma s his Richeliew,—perfect 1n conception. less than foct in execulion ; thoroughly aitistic In acuing, often disappointing 1u resding; falt of Interest from evers puint, but Dot &lways a com- wauding work of geuius. HAMLET. 's Hamlet has iready boen treated 1o detail. Afl tuat remains to be »aid of it is to call attention o some of his orig- Ipal readings, which have stirred up many old controversies in this country. They are Tot, af- terall. of much importance: sand brief refer- 3006 10 thew will guffice. Mr. Ben Pitman, of Cincinoati, au old frend and sdmiror of Mr, Ballivan, has placed on record some of his most striking emendations, ana we acknowledge in- gebtedness to this source for informetion on the sabject. The Ghost, in Act I, Scene 5, 16 ‘mado to read *canined fast in firea," instead of ** con. ofin:d nl:’ :’-:t‘.;nhfixu;u ‘Tha line @ hormulo! orrible!

These readings are chiefly interesting as giving an ides of Afr. Sullivan's method,—showing iifl careful sttention to de talls, his aoxious scrutiny of words, hie fond- pess for strained constructions. It is quite pos- sible that oos who hss been 80 studions over litle things has missed greater ones. Ac least it is trae that 3 listener ordinarily impressible may ait through Mr. Bullivan's Hamlet and not ooce be stirred out of himeelf. His conception ©of the character is not withont merit, but he plays it something as Vandenboff, tho elocution- ist. does. Mr. Sullivan's Richelieu isconsistent, carefully wronght out, but deficient 1n elasticitr, and especially in the representation of tho varving rhages of trumph and defeat. His Bererly is 20 even performance, not penstrated with feol- ing. TOW MR, SULLIVAN WAS WELCOMED. The public seems just naw to demand a little more thao it is willing to pay for. 1t asks to sce great actors, cr none at ail; and when it gets great actors it givea them only tolerable enconr- agement. The attendauce at McVicker's Theatre the last thres davs of the week would have been very satisfactory bad the performauce been an ordinary one, but it was not more than sufficient to pay the expenses of Messrs. Jarrett & Palm- er. who have Mr. Sullivan under engagement, after providing for their losses on the firat throe nights. 1f it is true, as commbonly reported, that Mr. Sutlivan is paid £300 1n gold for esch per- formancs, it is Docersary 1n order to clear bars expenses that €L.0v) be talien in at the door. Now this 15 a pretty large sum to obtsin by a T8jresantazion of a familiar tragedv; sud the fact that it was exceded every night toward the closs of the wosk speaks well for the merits of the porformances. It may be eaid, on the' ome hand, thar dramatic representa- tions should not cost, eo much, but, on the other, it is a notorious fact that managers most Iiboral in tnewr expenditures obtain the graatest rewards in kind. All the plavs given by Mr. Sullivan were splendidly mounted, and the atock support was at least much better than is gen- erally afforded west of New York. In ** Richard L™ Mr. Waldron and Miss Carrol did good work, and in “ [{amiet" Mrs. Murdoch, Mr. Rai fmd. and Mr. Seymonr were above the standard of stock-actors. * 7uE rouruxes or rar aveemr are again about to change. During the thres weeks that the Kirzlfys have occupied it some of the best people in town have been made acquainted with its interior. The Kiralfys, it must be ssid, have kopt good [mth with tne Chicago public, having prasented the best pisce, forits ecevio aud mechanical effects, that lias been eeen in Chicago since the palmy dass of the old Opera-House. In judgiog of the performance, 1t should be rememoered that the play is Hot intended to be & baller-piece. The baliet is very good 50 1ar as it goes, but 1t is not meant to be che feature of the entortainment. A grand charity performznce of * Around the World” is offered for this evening. The pretext snd dis- guige are very thin. The *charity” is doubt- feas for the benelit of Messrs, Grover & Cole, and the Luralfys. Whvnot say 8o, then? It 18 no credit to avy of the persuns concerned that they should use the name of caarity to cover up their purposes. If the policy of the Adelphi maoagers is. 88 wo have rcasdn 1o believs, to give & performaace in Eugish every Sunday night, let them say 50 boldly ; uothing czn be gained in the Lng run by deceit. This week the Adolphi wil! return tv its old system of becr a-d tobacco every might but oae, aud the peconisry roturns will doubtless be corres: ondingly large, NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.

In 1807, then being 9 years of age, Pauline-Virginie played leading juvenile parts at the Theatredes Jennes Eleves, wiich was suppressed by the decree of 1807. Shbe was then given a succession of child- parts at the Vaudevillo, and achieved a distin- guished euccess in * The Sleeving Beanty,” She ieft the Vaudeville in 1817, and went to play in the provinces, being recaved with much favor &t Lyons and Bordesux. In 1821, ber yonthful charms of person then beiog at their hoight, she accepted Aa engagement at the Gymusse, and appeared in_a number of plays Dow Littlo known, assumiog what have come to bo termed *‘sympathetic” parts. In 1323 ehe passed over to the Theatre des Nogvesutes, and created a number of characters there. She was particalarly comphmented for her impersonation of Napoieon al Drienve, which was at the time considered a very happy represcotation of the adolescent bero. In 1331 Mile. Dejazet went to the Paluia Iioyal, where her acting in the - Pbilire,” *Judib aod Dolofernss,” etc., bronght immense popalarity to her and to the theatre. She left the Palais Royslin 1844, and for five years played averylucrative engagoment at the Varietics. For the next ton vears she played alternptol?hn the provinces and at varl- ous Pansian’thestres wilh never-failing sno- cess. In 1809 sho leased the Folies-Noavellus, which then assumed her nams, Here she made a Ia1ge number of new oreationa aud play- ed her oid parts wich ber usual geod fortune. In 1868 the world learned with matonishment that Mlle. Dejazet had become a conver:, and was then sboutto take her first communion. She was then 70 years of age. It was £aid, at the same time, that sho was about to quit the tage; but her tardy repentance did not have this resuit. Io March, 1869, she was allowed an anoual pension of 2,000 francs. Mile.

She died in poverty. BUSAN DESIN. The death of Susan Denin is anneunced. It resulted probably from injuries sustained by the fall of a stage-bndge st Indiznapolia about two weens ago. Miss Depin was thrown on the boards with grest violence, but it was supposed 2t the time that she would suffer no seriona con- sequences. She sank gradually, however, and early yesterday morning she breathed her last at Bluflton, Ind. Miss Denin was well known to the Chicago public, both 388 stock sod as a star actress. Kste and Susan Denin made their de- bat at the Ola Centre Street Theatre in Cleve- land in 1852. They appeared ia ‘* Romeo and Juliet,” Kate taking the male and Sosan the fe- maie part.

Susan Denin was abous 40 vears of age. She was sev- eral times married, the last time fo Mr. T. E. Morris, of Chicago. Susan sppeared as the Marquise in *Caste™ at Hooley's Theatrs _two vears ago. Her most succeesful parts were Lady 1sabel, Leah, elc., and she was fond of stiempl~ ing more ambitious things. TLONDON THEATRICALS. " The following extracts from a private letter will give a far btter ides of the theatrical situs- tioo in London than can be obtained from the newspapers : Geargo Clark, late of Daly's, ia unfortunate, “ Proof Posltive,” a new comedy by Burnand, having proved a falure.’ [We learn from oiher sources that Clark waa Iaughed off thestsge.] Boucicault is still at Drury Lane; Tho Staughraus » has falion off ousidaraby, “ Married 1n Haste,” by Byron, at the Haymarket, is a great succoss. +* Our Boya " is close upon its 300th representation, and, to all appearance, may rur_for- ever, A mnew piece, by Palgrave Simpson and Meri- ale, called * All For Her," s the card at the * Mirror.” 1tbink it a good piece down to the lastact.

In Italy he made enemies of the whole world by his brntal remarks ou Verdt (who haa miors pleasiug meiody in bia little finger than Bulow and Liszt in their entire bodies, heads in- cluded), and {n America he began his courss in a simi- Lir manner. He comes herato make money. That he thinks only himself, his txo-her-in-ia, Richard Wag- ner, and Liszt the only musfcians, and the Americans —Germana and Engiish—all savages, wis known in musical circles before he began. Bat not even bis warmest sdmirers surmised that he wauld no sooner armva in New York than he would begin his coarse and brutal expoctorations. LOCAL MISCELLARY. Mr, 8. N.
