RISTORI. Second Appearance of the Great Tragedienne, Crowded House and Intense Enthusiasm. ko. &e. ke. Ristori gave last night her second impersonation of ‘Medea toa house crowded quite as fully as tho first. The ‘audience appeared to be entirely new, and altogether as fashionable and intellectual as that which attended the début of the Queon of Tragedy on Thursday evening. Tho appreciation of all the sublime points in the tragedy was perhaps even more marked than on the first representation, the @udience being spparently prepared to distinguish them almost by anticipation, guided, ax they doubtless ‘were, by the intelligent criticism of the first performance. 1t would be difficult to collect in a theatre of such Umited capacity a more brilliant assemblage, whether Judged by the test of inteliectual excellence, or regarded im the light of fashion, Among the audience was the créme de la crime of refined society which is always attracted by the ma:net of genius It illuminated the private doxes; it studded the parquet; it shone in diamonds in the proscenium boxes; it was everywhere; exhibiting 1m the earnestness with which every movement of Ristori was studied and every sublime passage in tho story of the unbappy victim of fate so gloriously depicted was ‘“ppreciated, the close communion which existed between the artiste and the audience, Among thos) prosent were the Russian Miutster, Baron Stoeck!, and the distin- guished looking baroness; Signor Molino, the Minisier from Costa Rica, and other foreign diplomats, besides a generous representation of the literati, tearned profes- sions and artiste, With “bated breath and evident anxicty —and yet, carefully following the introductory rceno of the first act, between Jason, Creon, Orpheus and Creusa, which Jeads us gradvally into the siory—the audience waited the appearance of Medea The entrance of Ristori, descending the bill with one child clasped in her arma and tho other at her side, was the signal for a loud burst of applause, which she scarcely noticed; the fixed expression of despair and agony undergoing no change ‘an she ultored the words of comfort, “Courage! courage! ‘she haven is nearly reached.” From point to point throvglout the whole wonderful performance she carried ‘the audience with her, the intense intersst never for a moment tagging, but increasing with every scone. - We thought that it was almost impossible for the force of acting to go further than that of Ristori in bor firet representation of Medea, but the intensity, the passion, ‘tho majesty with which she invested the character on ‘tho second presentation fur surpassed her first effort, This was not lost on the audience. lhe applause was more constant, and the enthusiasin as Ristori appeared at tho cloeo of each act ran higher, There were many fino passaver, too, which were given with a new fire, For example, in the scene where she resolves upon the 4.ath of Creusa, clutohing the dagger with an appalling expression and attitude at one moment, and at tho next melting into the mood and assuming the posture of a suppliant, The trausition here was the most splendid touch of nature interpreted by art that we have ever wilnessed. Partially, perhaps, from familiarity with a strange audience, and possibly aesured of sympa- thy by the reception at her début and tho verdict of ap- proval which succeeded it, Ristori threw herself Into the part last might with more than ber former sjurit. Sho seemed to throw fresh inspiration in evory scene, It would be impossible to doscrbe in words the electric effect of the appoal to her chiidren fa the lastact. For @ moment the audience was stirred with tearfal emotion and awed into silence. Then, when suddenly romember- ing her wrongs, and tauatiog Crousa with having 05- tranged the affection of her sons, sho casts them back into the arma of her rival, and all the demoniac instincte—the fatal gift of the gods—regalu posseesion of her, all feelings of tendo.ness are trans- formed into those of terror. When the curtain fell upon the terrible denouement the enthusiasm of the audi- ‘ence found vent ins continued burst of applanse and cries of “Bravo, bravo, Ristori |" When th rtain rose again, that she might receive the spoutancous ovation ot the house, bouquets were showered upon ber from all sides, scattering the stage with flowers, Bhe gathered them up eagerly and gratefully, and bowed her acknow- ledgments as modestly as if waconecious that she had achieved a triumph almost without parallel. It ia with some timidity that we revert from the suc- econ of the heroine of the drama to the dotails of the performance; bat there was much in the general repre- sentation of the pleco that invites favorable comment. ; all tue company have improved considerably, There ‘was more vigor in the acting of Signor Giech's Jason, more emphasis in Signor Ristor\’s reading of the inspired part of Orpheus, and in Signor Butt’s Creon. ‘The dim. dence which was observable on the first presentation of ‘the tragedy bad wholly disappeared, The actors appeared to understand their audience better, and exhibited » confidence in the appreciation of their efforts. Signera Glech as Creusa added to her persona! beauty and native qracefuiness all the chartus of an easy yot spirited ren- dition of the part; breathing more soul and life into the character of the youthful and {mpassioned bride, without doiracting from the Innocent and girlish purity which forms so strong @ contrast to the terrific nature of Medea. We observed also Inst night « greater ‘amoothness in the stage business, and a genoral tin- ment in affiaire behind the curtain, There was ‘Yow noize and confusion in shifting the scenes, and « total absence of that vehoment and eminently Italian exclamation which reached the audience on the first night from bebind the scenes, greatly to thelr discom- fort. An acquaintance with the stage and the scenery hnas corrected these disagreeable defects. Mr. Grau, wisely mindful of the desire of the people to eve and study the greatest living actress, bas decided to ‘throw the family circle open to the public at the moderate rate of coventy five conte a seat; and as this portion of the house contains over two handred comfortable seata, a large number of those who cannot afford to pay the prices which the expenses of the management andthe extraordinary excellence of the performances render necessary for other parts of the houso—and this class is numerically very great in New York—may enjoy an ‘evening with Ristori at comparatively little cost. On Monday nicht Ristori will assume her great part of Mary Stuart, which in Europe, and in England especially, created a» superb a sensation. The character of the ill-fated Queen of Scots wil! naturally prove more congenial to an American audience than the terrible Me- doa, clothed in ber mantio of crimes, ber unnatural ven- grance, and ber almo-t incomprehensible passions, which roquirs (he interpretation of a genius as exalied as that Of Ristori to redeem from utter horror and disg ot.

Stadt Thoeatre—Mir- Bogumil Dawison as The story of Narcisse is a living picture of the period immediately preceding the French revolution, The blind, reckless frivolity of the courtier, the regal state and extravagance of the Pompadour, ;'@ craft of the in- triguer, the cynicism and blasphemy of i2® levelling philosopher and the wild, maniacal passion of the wronged husband are photographed with dread Sdelity by the author, Mr. Brachvogel, The character of Narciase a that of a noble soul and a brain of high aspirations, possessed by the furies of betrayed love and deceived trust, At one time he is a mocking Diogenos, not a sneering cynic, however, but a sort of French Hamlet, recking little whom he wounded with his sharp philosophy, and laughing merrily the next moment at the object of hia earcasm, Again, when he speaks of his past Ife, and his humble but happy home, made bright for a short season by her whom he considered the loveliest and dearost of wives, he Decomes @ helpless child, and bursts of passionate grief, emotion and despair, rond every fibre of his heart. But when he discovers that that wife, so loved, ao fair and eo long sought after, has become the most infamous of her sex, the plagne of France, the curse of her people, a byword of shame throughout Europe, it is like the upheaval of an earth- quake or the eruption of a volcano in hiasoul. Mind, brain, feeling, everything, becomes chaos, and ex- hausted naturo soon seeks relief in death, The terrible malediction of au outraged husband and the frightful but prophetic joy of the maniac, with visions of blood, terror and ruin to France before him, cannot be gtven in mere words, None but an actor of power, capable of showing at first suppressed, yet tatense passion, and then that volcanic outburst that snaps asunder the strings of life in the breast of the Unbappy Narcisse, can give even a faint idea of tho last sceno in this remark- able play. Mr, Dawiaon, in the midst of the jeorlirg courtiers amt philosophers, in the interview with the seductive im trigant:, Mademoiselle Quizault, and in the long solilo- quy to the little Chinese figure, fully sustained the high reputation he won in Europe. He related the story of his past life in a most touching manner. There was no false affectation of grief, no violent emot'ou, but the outpourings of a seared and blighted soul, Those broken sentences, so childlike, yet { | of emot! cv, seemed to fall from his lips as Sf each word contained a drop of bis heart's blood. In the last terrible scene where Narcisse meets his long lost wife in the person of the Pompadour, there wasa sensible lack of power display- ed by Mr. Dawison. Tho frenzied words, ‘Ha! ha! yes, the deluge. It rains fire from heaven and gail and tears,” were delivered ag @ finished declaimer or elogutionist would speak them, but thero was no fire in thom. This scene demands more physical as well as mentat power than Mr. Dawison, to judge from last night, is eapable of bringing Into it, Ho elaborates passion ‘too much, and thereby Pei, peda sacrifices nature to art His conception of the heterogeneous elements united in the character of Narcisso may be excellent; but in many instances he fails to illustrate tt. You can, perhapa, cateh a faint idea at times of the impression which he struggies to make; bat it {ails from its very indistinct- ness, Phere is no spontaniety about him. Every minute detail receives such elaboration that the broad, bold out- lines are lost. We should judge that as a comedian he would take a much bigher position than in tragedy. The support given him was in some respects very food. A better impersonator of: the wayward, haughty, aud at length falien Pompadour than Miss Rhode bas rarely been seen on the stage. Thero was a thrilling Import in her passionate appeal to her husband, and in those Inst words—“After me the deluge.’” Madame Steglich Fuchs is better adapted for the part of a sul than that of Mademoiselle Quinault. She too much tn anything of « serious nature, fear, too much in the habit of ‘tearing a passion to pieces.’ The Duke de Choiseu!, Mr. Wagner, made a very falr intriguer, and deserved the suceess which attended his schemes. The Queen, Madame Hubuer, showed too much querulons grief to be compatible with her dignity. The rest of the characters were fair, indifferent and bad. Mr. Dawison will appear In Tho Robbers, of Schil- ler, on Tuesday night. ‘Although bir. Dawison appeals more to the select few than to the masses, ho attracted an overwhelming and miscellancous audience. The enthusiasm which fe ox- cited was equal to that of his d/lut, At the end of every act and nearly every sceue he was repoatedly called be- fore the cartain, and bouquets showered on hira.
