HEAVY TRAGEDY T THE BALDWIN Modjeska Not Strong Enough for an Ideal Lady Macbeth. A Vandévil!e Farce - Comedy Holds the Boards at the Columbia. Continued Success of “Alaidin” at the Tiveli—*‘A Serious Tangle” at the Alcezar. Lady Macbeth, which Modjeska played at the Baldwin last night, is a compara- tively recent ad.ition to her repertory, though she has apveared here in the part before. There was a good deal of curios- ity among her admirers, however, to see her in the heavy Shakespearean role, and the audience was consequently a large one. 1t was almost a foregone conclusion, even among those who had not seen her as Lady Macbeth before, that the finished, | refined Modjeska could not appear to such | advantage as in parts like Marie Stuart or Rosaiind. Si:e had some splendidly felicitous mo- ments, in which she gave proof if further proof were required, that she is a great artist at all times, and her conception of Lady Macbeth was a fascinating study, but Modjeska is not tragic enough, nor is she vocally and physically robusi enough 10 rise to the heights -of tragedy required for a strong interpretution of the part. The great Lady Macbeths of tragedy have played the woman as the better man of the two, and Macbeth himseli bas been the weaker vessel. Modjeska's Lady Mac- beth gave glimpaes of u womaniy heart and a clinging, tender nature, which were null in accordance with the virility of her role. In the scene where she urges Macbeth to slay the King Modjeska was clever and commanding, but she was not the product of the rude age which produced the Thane of Glamis’ terrible wife, and ! in the banquet scene- she was a loving, sustaining he!pmate to the tortured Mac- beth, but she did not strike the keynote of the tragedy which Haworth reached. The sleep-walking scene was a remarka- ble and aruistic study, but the distraugit | woman made one think more of gentle | Ophelia than of Lady Macbeth, with her sinful, tortured conscience. The finish and the arl of the actress, however, brought her frequent and hearty applause, | and even 1 Mocjeska be not & great Lady Macbeth, her coiception of the role is weil | worth seeing as an interesting Shakes- pearean study. Haworth’s Macbeth was a very excel- lent piece of acting. The high pitch of tragedy which be struck in the dasger scene was evenly and splendidly sustained throughout the rest of the play. He never tore the passien (0 iatiers, but on the other hand he never descended to the commonplace. In the trying bauquet scene : is horror and despair were very realistically depicted, ard bis final duel brought his wo'k to an excellent climax. As Macduff, Lonerean added 10 his suc-.| cesses this season. Like Haworth, ne rose to the heights of iragedy without o’er- stepping the modesty of nature. Stevens, who played the role of Malcolm, did good work in his great sceme with Macduff Maxwell made a kingly Duncan, and the witches and their ca.dron were satisfac- | tory features of the performances. Columbia Theater. “The Prodigal Father,” which opened s week’s season at the Colambia last night, sounds better in advance notices than it ap- efere scene from “Il Trovatore” with one of Dodge’s daughters. Miss Melvill as the serio-comic actress was ¢clever, but none of the specialties in ‘‘The Prodizal Father” are especiaily worth mentioning except the dance _executed by Titenia. This young -woman -has acquired the art of going sbout on her.toes as easily as otier people go on their Leel . Her performance is temarkable for its difficulty—in fact it almost makes the nerves twitch to see her jig, do step -dancing and other intricate work. all on her toes. Next Monday a treat is promised at the Columbia in the shape of “Chimmie Fadden,” under Charles Hopper, who made & hit in New York in the title role. At the Alc:zar, The stock compeny presented for their twenty-third week William Gillette’s comeds- drama, “A Legal Wreck.”” The miece has & strong meiodramatic flavor about it, and being well played, takes with the audience. Miss Bertha Foltz assumed Miss Buckley’s part on less than a half day's notice, and plsyed it exiremely well, too, for the part is & long and dfficult one, and the maungement is tobe congraculated on securing the services of so clever an actre: Mrs. F. M. Bates as Nancy Aun Dunks did a very good picce of character work. Miss Kittle Behnom and M ss Gertrude Tidball completed the feminine part of the cast. J. B. Polk made the hitof tne performance as Captain Edward Smith, the hearty old ses captain. Hugo Toland, Francis Powers, Gor- don Foster and Mr. Armstreng did good work, The piece was beautifully staged, the chiel scene being particularly good. At the Tivoll. ““Aladdin” was the bill presented, and hay- ing received the necessary pruning is now ia smooth running order. Miss Seabrooke plays the dashing young hero and sings the role with hef usual euccess. Anne Schnabel makes a lovely prince ing herself into high or.
