HAVEERLY'S. ‘‘Lemons” drew well until Friday night, when **Blue Glass ™ was suostituted. New York critics seem to have labored under 2 grave misconception a4 to the originof ** Blue Glass." - Great credit has been awarded Mr. Angustin Daly fora very bad adaptation of Julins Rosen's play, **O, Diese Maenner ™ (**0, These Men "), when the first act shows that it is mercly a mechanical translation of avery old and very well-known German comedy entitled **Epidemisch™ (**Epidemic™), with no attempt at adaptation save the introduction of the words ** Blue Glass * and a few jokes worn thread- bure on the minstrel staze. Inthe translation Mr. Daly hus adbered etrictly to even the stage direc- tions, without giving a thouglit to the demands of modern plays, and as an eseentlal result he has reproduced faithfully thut peculiarity of German authors, the presentat:on of bat iwo char- acters at once, leaving un alwost barren staze, and Tosing all the advantages of situation which the in troduction of a namber of actors invariably affords. ‘The pinywrights of this day-éecm 10 have studied the benefits accruing to & representation from a xtaves: but_Mr..

Mr. Daly’s compuny is well adapted to Mr. Daly's tranglationas it 16, and itis not impossible that Mr. Daly had more of an eye to the artistic exeel- lence of nis tronpe than he had to the pruduction of & first-class piece. it is often charitable to a dramatic organization to redace the play below therr capacity, lest great disappomtment follow upon the unfortunate illastration of a_clever con- ceit.. Mr. Daly appears to kave trampled upon his siterary vanity, in his effort not to strain his com- pany, and such thorvughly generous seif-abnezs tion entitles Mr. Daly o the sympathy of sl right- meaning people, whocan only regret that he can- not find the talent to faithfully represent the swell- ing idcas of some author whom Mr. Daly might immortalize by his system of translation. Under the arcumstances it is proper to attributo all the defects of luxt night's performance to'the German playright and his New York agent. M18$ ELIZABETIL VON STAMMWITZ.
