Mbani THE DRAMA. ROSE ETTINGE AT M'VICEER'S. e secret of Rose Eytinge’s power lies in the Doroughness of her methods. She is to-day the post Snished actress on the American fiage. All tatart can do for her; all that assiduous applica- gom cando; all that can be accomplished by atten- pon snd fidelity in the special embodiment of in brief, everything snort of the Jottiest genins—she possesses. Norare her nataral compared with those of her contemporaries, tivial or mean. She has an imposing stage athrillinz and melodious voice, —which * n tsels might make the fortune of & Iees intelli- gent actress, —and 2 quick, instinctive apprecia- tien of situation. Her tact is fine and accurate. Her fmellectas] comprehension of character is wide apd far-reaching. Mer temperament is adest and passionate. She bas nesrly every _ qualification for the highest place evr swarded in the dramatic profeseion; and yet ebe lIacks, in some degree, the most im- partazt of all, for the want of which no traininz or good intention will suffice—she has“not a vivid imagination. ~ She assumes character, but does not decomeit. We cap never think of Rose Eytinge wswallowed np in a character, or 2s carried away byafine, poetic frenzy. The mimic scene will al- wazs be the place for mimicry while she occupies the stage: mo wave of passion will overwhelm her befare she has measured its height, and calcnlated i1s momentam; she will nut go down into the ocean-depths of sorrow without & groan, if a groan will atall add to the horror of the spectators. We donot speak of the want of imagination 183 fatal &ebiciency. 1tis one that famous actors have been convicted of ; bat it has never becn associated With thefew imperishable namesin dramatic history. Theoffice of the imagination asa quality of act- fagis o endow the character with reality. By memsof itthe artist enters intoand possesses, for the time being, the character chosen for repre- wanton. The possession "of it, jowmed wth such dramatic traiping as Miss Estage bas, precludes the impression of hardness of fmeh. waich is the only faalt that has hitherto been fornd with her acting. The differcnce can e {liostratd in a breath by a comparison of Rose Ertinge with Clara Morris. Tae former is all art, inthe eense, 10 ber finger tips; the bes: tescaerof acting in Amer.ca: the most careful and consclentions actress on the stace, aud in mere poymcal expres=ion the trongest. Clara Morrie, onthe otber band, has many cruaitles; she is feeble inbody, 2nd 1n mind far the inferlor of Mise Esunge. \etin imagination sho is superior.

AN OLD FRIEND COMING BACE. The success of **Our Boarding-House, ™ Mr. Grover's comedy, firat produced 1n, Chicago Aug. 15, 1876, has becn nnequivocal in all parts of the conntry. It has ot only bad a long run in every city since it left here, but it has received the com- pliment of a revival in nearly every ome. After Chicago the first city to sec it was San Francisco, where It had a run of several weeks. It bas since been reproduced there. Next came Philadelphia, where it held the boards for many wecks, and where it was again acted last week. New York saw it at the Park Theatre for 100 nights, and it is at the present writing in the ful} tide of success at the Boston Museum. A traveling company brought t out at Cincinnatithree wecks ago, andis announced o retarn there—a most ununsual thing—to-morrow. It had great success in St Lonis for the two weeks ending last night. . Crane and Robson played it first in Baltimore, ana then in Washington, and ‘were glad to retarn 1o both places for second engagements as soon as they could make srrangements. They are now repre- senting the_play throngh provinial cities of New England. 1t has been lnccmfml{ produced both in Toronto and Montreal. Now it is to complete the circait by returnine o the city whence it start- cd. The annoancement is made that it will be put upon the stage at McVicker's a_week from to-mor- row with Crane, Robson, and McKee Rankin in the cast. Tus TRiBUNE takes pleusure in making this announcement, and in chronicling the large suc- cess of the piece, which is no more than was pre dicted in these columns when the first representa- tion of it was reviewed. . OPERA-BOUFFE. ‘The Aimee season closes twith the performance of tu-night. Duringthe two weeks, cleven dif- ferent operas bave been presented,—threo en- tirely new, Lecocy's ** La Petite Mariee,” Offen- bach’s *‘La Boulangere & des Ecvs," and Vas- senr’s **La Timbale d'Argent; ™ one that had been given here previonsly in English only, Herve's ¢La Belle Poule:™ and, for the frst time, the new versfon of Offenbach’s **La Perichole,” The other six works were Offenbach's ‘‘La Belle Helene,” *‘La Jolie Parfumcuse,” ‘‘La Vie Parisienne,” and *‘La Grande Duchesse,' and Lecocq's ‘‘La Fille de Madame' Angot™ and ** Girofle-Girofla.” During_ the first weck the houses were generally large; but the last week ex- hibited o considerable falling-off in attendance, owing to counter-attractions, to hot and rain weather, and to the fact that we have had so muc of opers-bonffe during the winter and spring,— first, a week of Oates, then a week of Soldenc, then two weeks more of Oates, and mow two weeks of Aimee: and Soldene is agamin the West, and way a second time descend upon us. The Aimee company isa 00d one,—better than any ‘she has ever brought erc before. There are three Tair remale singers, —Afmee herself, Gueymard, and Duparc; ani Mme. Desiree, thon h not muchof a ginger, isa zood burlesque actress. The men are not strong vocally, Haoult being the only one with Ini pre- tensions in that respect: and he is a moch better actor than singer. —the best acling tenor, indeed, fhat the Frencliopera has evergiven ue. The come- dians proper—Reine, Duplan, and Mezieres—are all capital, and have done first-class work. The chorus is large, well-trained, and efective. picces bave been presented in good shape, and the costumings are deserving of mo-small degree of commendation.

Three hundred doliare were paid for a prosceninm box on Monday night,—the highest price since Jenny Lind,—and ihe Grand Duke Alexis, whe came late, found himself unable to obtain 2 seat. When John McCullough acted a small part in one of Boucicault's plays a great many years ago, the auther was obliged to remind hinithiat he was not playing Othello. **1 know I ain't, " he replied, “+but I will come day,"” and then walked off mut- fering something about punching somebody's head.

This ie a feat which but one man, - and no.other woman, bas yet accomplished.” - FOREIGN NOTES. Sarah Bernhardt has returned to Paris from Nice but Jittle benetited by repose nnd change of air. It is more than probable that they will never see this great actress on the ‘boards again. . The .dramatic version of the *‘Mauprat,” of George Sand, first given at the Parls Odeon, has ‘been. revived at -the same house. The: principal parts are sustained by M. Marais and Git Naza. The next aonual professionsl tour of Mr. Buck- £tone in Engiand is-ofiicidlly described as a serics of farewell appearances. Mr. Buckstone will benc- companied as usual by the ilaymarket tronpe, re- inforced by the return of Mr. Chippendale, who ‘has some time been absent from the stage. The comedictta entitled **A Cosy Couple™ was revived at the London Oflem Comlque two weeks 8go, when Mr. Charles Mathcws appeared in original part of Russelfon. The following Monday “The Game of Speculation " was revived there— in accordance with the advertised fntention of Mr. ollmgsnead to give Mr. Mathews an _opportunity of appearing successively in some of his most cele- brated impersonations.

As it will end the ecason of 1876-'77 {or the Society (except the supple- mentary piano recitale of Mr. Wolfsohn), it will undoubtedly cail out & large attendance of the associate members. The prominent feature of this concert will be the production for the first time in this city, if notjin this country, of Henrich Hof- mann's beaatiful composition for solo volces and chorus, the- ‘‘Fable of the Fair Melusina,™ of which Mr. C. E. R. Mueller, the -exccllent musi- clan and orzanist of this city, kindly furnishes us with the following careful analysis which will be of interest to our musical readers, and of value 10 those who purpose going to the concert: : *¢The tale of ‘The Fair Melnsina® has been a source of inspiration to & namoer of artists. Men- delszohn wrote one of his best overtures in il tration of 1t; Julius Zellnor, of Vienna, composed some_orchestral tone-pictures; and Moritz von Schwind, the ralnur. made a great repuiation by his cycle of ilinstrations. Hofmann is doubtless one ¢f the most promising composers that Ger- many can boast of at_present. Theodore Thomas has ucflummcd us Witk two of his orcaestral works, nis *Hunzarian Suite’ and the Scherzo from his * Frithjof Symphony.’ Of his piano-composi- tions 1 \\'nuldyespcch{ly mention eome duets which will be esnl.\ly welcome to teachers and pupils, viz.: Op. 3, thres genre-pictures; op. 23, *Land- or 2 ntry-dances’); op. 28, five composi- tions illnstrative of texts taken from Ruckert's “Spring of Laove,’ and (witnont opus numher{ the Hungarian Dances; of his numerous songs ‘mention but the boesutifal op. 27, in which he identifics himself with the school of Robert Franz. In all of ‘these works we recognize a composer who has carcfully studied Schumann, and in the work before us the influence of Wagner cannot be denled. Hoflmann, however, is far from being an imitator. Schumann and Wagner are composers of such importance. that every com- poser of the present must consciously or uncon- sciously be iufinenced by them. Hofmano s mel- odies are simple and “beaatiful, his harmonies flowing, natnral, and strikang, but nowhere forced, his rhythms piquant, his instrumentation rich and brilliant, yetnever ‘barocque,’as that of Saint- Saens sometimes is. The English version of Os- terwald’s poem i by Prof. oyle. Excelient in finenl, jtsuffers from the defects that, .besides _ng somewhat impractical to sing, it frequently destroys the doclamatory sccent and the sigoii- cance of chords. —defects which show the trans- 1ator to be more of a scholar than o musician. “The story runs briefiy as follows: delusina, the nymph of a Leautifal fountsin in the Bressilian Forest, and Count Kaymond have fallen in love with each other, declsre their paesion, and in presence of hor nymphs become engaged, Jelusing romsing to be Kaymond's faubful ' wife the rst _six days of . the week, but mak- ing bim promise mever to ask or find out Ler doings on the seventh day, whica she sseures um ‘shall never sce her stray from the path of duty.'

The latter 1n o sprigatly chorus praise thelr watery abode: “*For the flood is hie-giving, death comes with the glow.” JMelusina, deeply in love with Raymond, would foreverstayon the ea er companions warn her, and now she confésses to them who is her beloved. In No. 2 Melusing de- scribes the bliss ehe feels in thinking of Raymond. The whole number is a Iyric gem. How ftly does the eyncopated uccompaniment portray the fitting of Raymond's image befose Helusing's vyes! ‘Ihe horn signals indicate the approach of Kaymond with his hunting trin. The bunters sing a short and very fresh hanting song, and are then ordered by Jtlaymond to disperse. No. 4 is a fit counterpart to No.:2.

In No. 5 they exchange vows of love. 1t1# an excecdingly beautiful and passio ate duct. Noe, 2,4, and5 bave been puolished separately, which many of vur singers will be giad to learn.

In this number Ilofmsznn ehows thut he is well 3t howe in coun- terpoint, which he uses to increase the dramatic interest. 1n No. 9 (tno with chorus) Clotilda tells her son what wo _he hua introduced into his house by Melusina, and_with Sintram urges him to find ont the secret of Alelusina’s descent nod her mys- terious doings on the seventhi day of the week.

Melusing in reply to the warning of her nympls, 3 ‘Jove i3 sreighted with sorrow snd cire,’ sing *Ocould | with a word express the blizs Ifcel; bliss without measare.'

Tt l’«:nlmhmss in the sentenc o 'nfet death be his lot!' She .cries out: ‘' *ohspare him!" The King spares his life, bat adds that she must return to the tloods. The choroa fells her to flee from the unholy enot. Raymond asks her forgiveness and one final embrace. And here, likc o sweet reminiscence of bliss now for ever "ended, - is introduced a part of ‘ the love-duet. The embrace was fatal to Raymond, - who, *blest and undaunted,’ dies in her arms. The chorus repeats, -*For the flood is life-siving,’ etc., and #he, lamenting that she cannot die with him, bids him farewell. The water-epirits and nymphs retire to the ocean, asking her *to forget with the dwellers on earth ail earthly wo.' The eptlogue je substantiallv the repetition of the pro- Jogue. *We hear the lindons whisper and the fountain flow, but as its waters glide by Raymond's tomb, a sighing is heard, as if Melusing said: 4Q.

THE APOLLO CLUB FESTIVAL. . . There is little that need be #aid for the forthcom- ing Apollo Club festival. From the work tht has already been accomplished, we have no hesitation in saying that theé conductor will place upon the Tavernacle stage one of titelargest, mast imposing, and most perfect choruses ever heard in this coun- try, notw thetanding forty years of driiling in Bos- ton and four years in Cincinnati. Jt willbe an or- ganization that Chicago will be prond of, and will Eme this city upon her musical feetagain. We clieve that these resnltd will be of a character that will reach far beyond local bounds, and give Chi- cago singers a place by the side of those of Cintin- nati and Boston. if not at tke head of the class, for tne Boston scholars did not acquit themselves as well a usual last week.

EDDY'S TWELFTH RECITAL. Mr. Eddy gave the twelfth of his delightful or- gnn recitals yesterday noon at Hershey Hall, with & programme full of iutercst. His richand varied repertoire scems to bealmost endless, as ench Satar- day brings fresh surpriscs of rare and beautiful things. The programme yesterday included a wide range of ancient and modern organ music. as witl be seen by the following examples: The Mendel- sohn Sonata in F minor, No. 1, in fonr move- ments; the Larghetto from the Mozart Quartet in B fiat, No. 9, transcribed by Best; the Lem- mens’ **Marche Trinmphale™; Thiele's trioin G minor (for two manaals and pedal), thelast work of the author, and now ziven for the first time and~it is to hoped for the last time in this country; the *‘Chromatic Fantasie'’ and a canzone of Bach's; Best's ‘*Airand Variations™ in A; and Guilmant's **Denxieme Offertire sur des Noels,” op. 33, No. 2. The vocal numbers of the programme were in keeping with the instru- mental, and it was fortunate that they were given by 50 excellent a vocalist as Mrs. Clara D. Stacy. They included two of Franz's best songs,—the “‘Request” and ‘‘The Skies Arc Getting Brighter,” and Relnecke's great dramatic aria, **Mirim’s Song of Trinmph, " a stirring, jubilant pean, which has never been sung here before. The fwo franz sonzs were sung with exquisito taste.

The fifth of those pleasent soirecs at Hershey ‘Hall, so happily denominated *‘Musical Even- ings, " took place last Friddy evening. and notwith- standing the melting character of the weather, a very good andience was in attendance. The in- strumental features of the programme were the Mendelssobn Sonats in D, op. 58, for piano and cello, (Messre. Eddy and Eicheim); Romance and Saltarello for cello, by Goltermann, (Mr. Eic- heim); and the Beethoven Sonata in D, op. 102, No. 2, pisno and cello, (Messre. Eddy and Eichelm). Some allowances must be made for the effect of temperature, not only upon the strings, ‘but also apon the moods of players. One must be in a pecaliarly happy, if not jolly, frame of mind 1o play the Mendelssohn Sonata, which' is fresh, breezy, exuberant, sometimes even trifling in ita nature, and 1n a pecaharly serious frame of mind todo the Beethoven Soonts, Wwith its somewhat massive adaglo and fugued finale. It is due to Mr. Eady and Mr. Eicheim to eay that they struggled” nobly with the inevitable drawbacks, and gave a very conscientions and ex- pressive reading of both Sonatas, the most perfect work being in the snperb Heethoven Ada- io. The vocal nombers were a ncw song cf ‘ours, **A Little Bird's Story,” which was very pleasantly sang by Miss Hiltz, who already shows that she has & very sure and well-lnd foundation upon which to build for future excellence; and a Tittle cyclua of trios by Reinecke, consisting of five numbers, grouped together under the general title of **Maftag" (*‘May-day”). The first and fifth, “‘Early Morn” and *‘Return Home," are very pretty und effectivo. The others have little to say. ‘Jhe music sa a whole, however, was better thun the performance of it. The perfect unity which shonld characterize such & group of songs was ‘wanting. the wate: PUPILS' MATINEE.

The orchestra will consist of 100 of tlie best players of the city, who will be led by the old condnctors of days gone by, among them Mr. Le Bras, the first condtctor In Rice’s Theatre: Mr, Dyhren{urth, the father of instramental music in Chicago: Mr. Vans, Mr. Romanus, Mr. Molter, and Mr. Balatka, who will arrive here {rom St. Louis in time to take part. Arrangements for eolo work have also been con- cluded with Mr. Creswold; Mrs. Kloss, the pianist; Mr. Scare, the new tenor, and Mr. Holm, the piccolo player. The scheme is 8 very attractive &nd_promising one, and s the prices have been fived at the low fizure of 25 cents, there will un- doubtedly be a crowd 1 attendance both of thc old and new eettlers to greet the old-time condactors, IN MEMORIAM. Another of our old musicians has gone to his reat. To late comers in Chicazo the name of Henrl De Clerque does not signify mach. To those, how- ever, who have grown up with music in Chicago it signitles a great deal. As a violinist he stood at the head of his profession for many years, and led the strings all throngh the palmy years of the old Philbarmonic orchestra, besides holding an honored position, not only m_Chicago but " throughout the West,as a soldiat. He was posscssed of excep- tional talent and with the proper application of that talent mizht have held his positionto this day; ‘but after the fire_he lost his hold upon music, an it was very rare that he appeared upon the legiti- mate concert-stage. Ho had the faults of some o:hier musicians, that kept him back from the posi- tion to which he was entitled by his talent; bat he had 50 many more exceliencies than faults that no ope will think of the Iatter. His name is too inti- mately associated with music in Chicago to be toat, and there are many who wili pay a quict tributc to his memory, in sincere regret at his loss and In the kindest sympathy with tnose whom he has left be- ind.
