...Globe.All who had the pleasure of seeing Miss Ethel during her brief two weeks of performance were heartily sorry to hear of her sudden illness. Miss Ethel has won the Boston heart, and we trust that she will soon return and complete her too short engagement. The part of Agnes has been assumed by Mrs. Barry this week with great success, considering how short was the time given her for preparation...
...diminished favor, as yet. Charles Reade's "Clouds and Sunshine" affords the plot and incidents to the longer play, and the story is interesting. The acting of all who took part in the piece was uniformly good. The character of the proud but loving Rachel was particularly suited to Miss Clarke, and her impersonation was in her best manner. In Patrick, the old veteran who "fought against Bonaparte," Mr. Warren gave another example of the versatility of his talent. Mr. Barron, as Robert, was subdued and natural without being tame...
...Globe.At this theatre, Miss Agnes Ethel has been acting in M. Sardou's drama of her own name, to large and appreciative audiences. Of the play little need be said. The plot is decidedly old, but none the less interesting. The impersonation of Agnes demands the beauty and grace of person, the purity and loftiness of bearing, which Miss Ethel so easily gives to it. Although unequal to the passages of tragic emotion, these are so few that the lady's weakness in those parts leaves but little impression on the mind. Her greatest success is achieved in the first...
Boston Theatre.Miss Neilson made her first appearance in Boston, on Monday night, in Romeo and Juliet. We have never before seen this part performed by an actress of great ability, and thus we lack anything with which to compare Miss Neilson's impersonation; but, judging it by itself, we think that it proves the lady to possess, not great genius, surely, but the highest talent. This, combined with her undeniable beauty of person, renders us loath to criticise. Her comedy in the first three acts was brilliant, but not wonderful; her tragedy in the last two acts simply magnificent...
...Chilton. This part was assumed by Mr. Barron, and we regard it as one of the best efforts ever made by that gentleman in comedy. Although forced, from the necessities of the part, to imitate Mr. Sothern, this imitation was moderate and spiced with much originality. His support by Miss Clarke and the rest of the company, that of Mr. McClannin in particular, was excellent. Mr. C. H. Frye, a recent arrival at this theatre, has rather more talent than we generally recognize in the Museum's "walking gentlemen...
