Sida 43 - ... first rivets your attention ; this is the great secret of her acting, — is her talent, ay, and her art. Surely naturalness cannot be decried. And yet this is not only her great peculiarity, it is, perhaps, her fault. She is absolutely too natural. She portrays a character exactly as it is, not without one touch of grace not its own, but with every touch of awkwardness belonging to it. She not only adds nothing, but subtracts nothing. She not only idealizes not, refines not, elevates not ; she...
Sida 74 - Plays and Players,' chap. 18. Mr. Davenport played in a gentlemanly, quiet style, with much less elegance than Wallack, and much more feeling. I regard his performance [of Hamlet} as decidedly the superior of the two. It showed deeper thought ; it was less stagey and tricky, more manly and natural ; but still it was tame, and at times uninteresting. It never once excited any real emotion in the audience ; it never made us feel. ADAM BADEAU : the 'Vagabond,
Sida 209 - Her marvelous talent for what is technically called "making up," presents us with the picture that lives so indelibly in our memory ; her exquisite elocution enables her to accommodate her voice to the necessities of the unusual situations of the play, to break it with age, to thicken it with the choking sensation of death, to loosen it in the cry of agony, to repress it in the hollow murmur of despair ; while the genius that makes her feel so acutely the proprieties of the character is only equalled...
Sida 123 - Niagara," perhaps the finest picture yet done by an American; at least, that which is fullest of feeling.
Sida viii - ... blind, and lame, and the diseased person that is judged to be incurable; the second are poor by casualty, as the wounded soldier, the decayed householder, and the sick person visited with grievous and painful diseases; the third consisteth of thriftless poor, as the rioter that hath consumed all...
Sida 353 - Vagabond,' 1859. — Edwin Booth. He got out old wigs — one that Kean had worn in Lear : the very one that was torn from his head in the mad scene, and yet the pit refused to smile ; he found me his father's Othello wig, and put it on to show the look. There was a picture of the Elder Booth hard by on the wall, and the likeness was marvellous. Ibid:
Sida 42 - ... in the orchestra, and was not at all crowded. There came upon the stage a fine woman with an easy manner, and who spoke two or three words in a natural tone. I was surprised at the phenomenon, and attended to what she should do or say next. Of course I was amazed at her daring portrayal of Camille; but when the curtain fell at the end of the first act I acknowledged the spell of genius. As the play went on I became absorbed. By and by, eye and ear were both touched by an electricity that reached...
Sida 44 - Camille is fearful in its faithfulness, but effective as well; the repulsiveness of the sick-bed scene is painfully real. And here Miss Heron differs from any other actress I have seen. All others refine, in some degree, either by throwing a charm around a character that it cannot really claim, or by concealing defects which it absolutely possesses. Here, too, Miss Heron differs especially from the great French actress with whom she has sometimes been compared; for this Western performer has indeed...
Sida 209 - ... accommodate her voice to the necessities of the unusual situations of the play, to break it with age, to thicken it with the choking sensation of death, to loosen it in the cry of agony, to repress it in the hollow murmur of despair ; while the genius that makes her feel so acutely the proprieties of the character is only equalled by the consummate art that dictates and accomplishes such touches as her sliding, sidelong gait ; her frantic but significant gestures ; her attitudes, so ungainly,...
