April 22,—Miss Anna Dickinsou, as you have Lioard, will mako her firast appearance on tho dramatic stage at the Globe Theatre in Boaton on May 8, in the tragedy of ‘“‘Anno Boloyn," The occaslon will’ be unique in this, that it ls not only the Iady’s debut, but sho haa writtan ber own pisy. Whon I goy that she has written it, I mean that tha entiro tragody ta hers, —the conception, the plot, the situations, and overy word of the text. Hbe has had no aid whatevor, saud no professlonal playwright las even seen it. ¥ I callod on Miss Dickinaon Inat evening at the rosidonce of & frisud with whom she is stopping on Murray Hlll. 8he has rosted this wintor from her Iabor on the platform, and she shows the offoct of lelsurs in tho recavery of s dogteo of healtl which ahe has not enjoyed for yours. Slio Is once wore plump, rosy, young, thorough- ly cheerful, exhuborant and fall of vitality, You kuow well enough tho story of her ro- markable careor. She hos addrassed public au- diouces for soventoon years, and is now i While tosching school, sho was flrst brought ont in & spooch at an Anti-Blavery Conveation in Philadstphia In 1860, which Dr. Garrison hoard, and induced tor (o como (o llomton aud sponk from Parker’s pulpis, Bho was then not 18, and, doubting the wisdom of no early an appoarance, her frionda strove to withdras her and pend hor to school; but sho had tasted of tho intoxicating Lashoesh of applauso, and bad lonrued her power ; poreover, it waa ot n {avor- ablo limo to wait. Great questions were pand- ing. Blio was roceivol evorywhore with enthu- viusm, and for yoars held hor nlace in tho frout rack of populat sponkers. The ordeal was one which no other young womau in the woild ever passad through. Miss Diokiuson'a succesa ne a leaturer resulted from her porsonal earnestnoes. Slie possossod onthusinem, Bho spoko on current topica, al- wayd for a moral parpose, and at critical polots in "hor addroas sho touched tho hoarts of her hosrors to an unueusl dogree. Slo could thrill, Thoro wore splendld passages ulo which sbe seemed to pour her whole soul, Miss Dickingon has for yuara wished to adopt tho dramn a9 ber profession, but has beou ro- sirained by the objsctions of Quakor relativos and affectionate fiends. Bho has doubtless foresoen that dldactlo oratory could mat long be In demaud. Poople canliot aftord always’| to be excited, Both appeal and wivective woar out, At Iast sho found that abe had really nothiug mors to say thiat tho people wished to bear, and with this discovery she resolved to realize tho droam of years by goiug at ouco on the atage, aud there scoking scopa for the dra- matio lmputso that sill moved Lir, ‘This original flvo-act tragedy of ‘*Anus Doleyn * is sn attempt on Muss Dickinson's part to vindicate sho intwgrisy and purity of tho sco- ond wilo of Henry the Kighth. Bhe claina that the truo listory of Lor hfe does not justity the equivecal name which the world has geverslly awarded her, Tha dialogue mud dramatic movemsut of umslly are pinited. It kindles and develops a good deal of intenmity of teeling. ‘Tho points are made with great direct- nees. Althou, lacking the cunciseuses and thythm of pocfry, the spoeclios are remarkably terus, and somotimes almust Shakepearesn in condensed energy and pithinoss. The wunmof the play, #a I Liave suggested, is to rescne Auno Boleyn from the position she has cocuplod in tradition, of belng & wmera tlirt and coquatte, with no motive hifihnr than personal smbition angd trickory—n trifler whose girlish vanity was #o tickled with the idea of being oalled Queen that xhe willingly made hereolf a mistress of the King, Anno is here represeuted ms balng a truo, loving, faithiul womaun, the victim of & foul couspiracy, unwittingly drawa into the not aud coil of aircumstances, dosiriog to msrey ber true lovor, Lercy of Nortunmberland, Lut avercome by the intriguos which Wolsoy and Cromweil employed to forward thelr base de- slgne.
