Raphael Foiix, Hanioux snd Cheri, aing, (a thé privetpa) parts. Woe think that this is the first Sye act French comedy of society that has ever been prvented in Ghia ity in i gira? language. It is th work of Madame de dip, 2 gifted emi brilliant at Parks. The wathorers hay taken Moliere’s “Tar. tuffe’’ for Ber svtwtratum, and’ has changed the time to the nineteenth century. The T¥rtulle of this piece is a woman, Mme. de Blosine (M’lle Ru hel) who is mo better than a loretir, but whe strives by aleis of deuevolence, such a6 making juckets for Sayoyurds’ : Vonkeys and by be- fog particularly plows, ts induce poop Ye to think her « paragon of virtue and piety, She ia in loWe with Hector de Renneyille (11. Raphael Welix), who bat vs her because she has been the caune of the death of a friend of his, who jumped out of « window, imerder to sawe M'lle de Blowsac’s reputation and thereby broke his newk. Lady ‘Tar tulle is endeavoring to catalan old man, the Marsha! a’Fetigny (M. Cher?), when a marriage de converance ix arranged between Heetor and the Marshal's niece Jeanne (Ve Binah Felix), a younghJady, who is what the French call ingénue, and who has no definite idea of the awful responsibilities of married Ife, except that it involves the@J expenditure of a grent deal of money for new clothes, bonneta and bijouterie, with which rhe is intensely delighted, M’lle do artfully cir- culates @ story to ruin the reputation of thix litte girl, in order that Hector may not marry her, and tant many hove the Marshal all to herself. Circumstances favor de Blorwac, and she is on the poiut of wuccess when her love for Hector, and some disclosures made by the Baron des Tourbiéres, (M. Randoux,) who has beon im her conti dence, cause Ler to throw off the mask, and confess that she was the gutlty party in the intrigue, and was mis taken for Jeanne. “Lady Tartuffe’’ ix not, to our idea, n perfect comedy. The plot is incomplete, and the dialogues, though often witty, are altogether too long. The heroine does not represent a class in foeiety; indeed, she would not hum- bug any one of ordinary penetration. This last was the principal diMeulty which Mle Rachel inl under In playing the part. In addition, she # from the circumstance that the house is unsuited for elegant comedy, which ix much Detter appreetated in small theatres than in vast eatablishments like the Aca demy. Itin not too much te say, that she triumphed over everything, and carried the play through anccess- fully by her consummate acting. Nothing could be tiner than her scenes with the old Marshal or the air of injured innocence with which she received the repronches of Jeanpe’s mother. We have never seon an actress who covld approach Rachel in that department of the art teebnically called “repose.” ‘This was one of the groat features in her performance Inst night, As we have said before, we do not think she ix so great in the modern plays ax in Corneille and Racine, but we think that she is much better in “Lady Tartuffe’’ than in “Angelo” and “La Tisbe.’’ M’lle Dinah was capital as the artless Jeanne, ond M. Felix was very good in Hector. M. Cheri, aine, was clever, as usual, in the rile of the old Marshal. The house was very fair—much better than on Tuesday. The play was rether slow until the third act, after which M’tle Rachel was called oat. She will not act again at the Academy, but will go to Niblo’s, where she appears on Monday next.
