A Dramatic
Failure and
Fight-
Success in
One
Wo saw Shakspeare’s sublime tragedy in
five acts of J/acbeth, at the theatre on
Saturday night. The brown programmes,
printed at the City Advertiser office, an
nounced that it was tragedy night, and so
it literally was. We fegret to say it, but
candor compels us to state that many parts
of this masterpiece were butchered, and
in a shocking manner too. In the first
place, it was a great mistake on the part
of the management to attempt to pro
duce, with their present stock company,
Shakspeare’s tragedies. The play of
Macbeth, abounding as it does in pas
sages of grandeur and the most thrilling
eloquence of the immortal lard, is too
sacred to be mutilated by inhuman
hands. We saw much to condemn and
but little to applaud in Saturday night’s
performance of Macbeth, which really
gave us pain and tortured our senses
until the drop curtain descended, hiding
the prostrate form of Macbeth from our
sight amid -the most vociferous kind of
applause from the galleries. To present
Macbeth as it should always be presented,
or else not at all, requires an array of
first class dramatic talent, such as seldom
ever grace the boards of the first class
Theatres of New York, Boston and Phila
delphia. Few of the leading theatres iu
our country possess stock companies of
sufficient capacity to render Shakspeare’s
tragedies in a respectable manner. The
play of Macbeth and Hamlet "demand
and exhaust all the genius and resources
of a first class metropolitan theatre, task
ing the entire capacity more than the
production of The Tempest or Midsum
mer Night’s Dream. Only a refined and
educated audience will ever greet Shak s-
peare's works properly, and it is in bad
taste to sacrifice the finest passages in
the English language by asking actors
ignorant of the faintest conception, of
the immortal author’s thoughts to em
body Shakspeare who simply strut the
stage like “Sticks” and play the buf
foon because they know no better. Ho w-
ever, these cruel things are done, have
been done, and no doubt will continue to
be done, until a humane public shall rise
in just indignation en masse and demand
the immediate execution of the murder
ers upon the guillotine of public opinion.
We have always protested against the
mockery of Shakspeare upon the stage,
it being in our opinion, a pastime wor
thy of barbarians and a disgrace to the
civilized community that tolerates such
dramatic cannabalism.
We did not enter the theatre, on Satur
day evening, without a great deal of
nervousness and considerable misgiving
when we saw the sumptuous dramatic
feast that was advertised to be given for
the small sum of one dollar, admittance
fee. That our apprehensions were well
founded, all will admit who were present,
for each unfolding scene revealed the
correctness of our suspicions, and in some
portions of the piece the thrusts at the
/‘Bard of Avon” were as heartrending as
the assassination of an innocent man.
Where there was so much to carp at
it might perhaps be wise for us to omit
further criticism, but since we have com
plained so bitterly over this unjustifi
able and needless murder of Macbeth,
we feel it our duty to point out a few
of the many glaring defects that ann oy-
ed us Saturday evening. The performance
was almost unendurable, unless one were
wicked enough to sit idly by and view
the performance of Macbeth as a bur
lesque, and that we could not do, hav
ing too much compassion for the strug.
gling actors, and too deep a veneration
for the memory of the - immortal author
whose chef-doev ire was thus sacreli
giously touched and we unconsciously
whispered frequently during the per
formance, “De inottuis nil hist Soniimt’’
Mrs. A. W. Stuart, may have innate
dramatic talent, but she must excuse our
stupidity and ignorance of the legitimate
drama if we state that as “Lady Mac
beth,” she developed not a solitary sign
of genius, and wo know that she will
prosper better off the stage than on, if
her attempted rendition of “Lady Mac
beth” is a fair sample of her ability.
Mrs. StuiBirt made a most lamentable and
complete failure throughout the whole
tragedy, and we really pitied her, for she
undoubtedly realized the distress she was
inflicting upon her disappointed auditors,
who were amazed that an actress below
mediocrity, in tragic parts at least, (for it
would be unjust in us to pre-judge of her
abilities in the line of low comedy,) should
dare venture to essay such a powerful role
as she signallyfailed to sustain. There were
unpardonable blunders made by Mrs
Stuart, and the exhibition of the bloody
dagger in her hands at the time, in the
murder scene, when the text compels'*
“Macduff” to assert that he saw the
bloody dagger in the chamber of the
murdered “Duncan, ” was slightly ri
diculous. while her apathy or indiffer
ence in the Banquet Scene, was so great,
that “Macbeth" waB obliged to snap his
{iugei's to summon her from *’hat was
intended to represent the royal throne
but which we are pained to say consisted
of two whitewashed steps with two mod
em gothic drawing-room chairs placed
upon them. Mrs. Stewart was not, to use
a theatrical parlance, “upin her parts,”
and she failed in several important scenes
to “give the cue. ” Her exits were wrong
iu several scenes, while with her feeble
voice she stammered out all she knew of
the sublime and lofty character she never
can sustafti. We oftentimes forget to
view all things “with a critic’g eye,” but
seek to pass slight imperfections by, and
and especially is this the case where a lady
exposes herself to criticisffi. In this in
stance, however, we felt it incumbent up
on us to speak candidly of the defects of
Mrs. Stuart’s “Lady Macbeth,” and as
she saw fit to assume so great a responsi
bility, the blame rests with her and not
upon us in criticising.
Mr. Hamilton a good versatile stock
actor, always studious and painstaking
in every character he attempts to por
tray, rendered Macbeth, ;very well, and
in the “ghost scene” acquitted himself
finely, richly deserving the hearty ap
plause he received. Duncan, Macduff,
Rosse, Lennox, Malcolm, 1st Witch He
cate and Miss Cameron as the Gentlewo
man were creditably rendered. We
must express our astonishment at the
even performance of Mr. Hamilton
Macbeth who labo r ed under enough
disadvantages in lacking proper
support to appall an ordinary ac
tor, Another very palpable fact to all
habitues of the theatre, was clearly
demonstrated Saturday night, viz- that
no five act comedy, tragedy or drama,
can be placed upon the stage with
impunity before a refined and ' dis
criminating audience without a suflicent
number of rehearsals and expect to escape
receiving harsh and honest critioism.
The choruses of the witches In the
incantation scene on the heather were
awful in the extreme, a perfect jargon
of sounds, more hideous than ever ac-
cended from Pandemonium or Dante’s
Infernal regions. Iu addition to the ter
rible discord which greted on our ears,
it was painful to witness the abortive ef
forts of Professor Richter and his fran
tic musicians, to either lead, follow, or
accompany the witohes who seemed lost
witch (which) way to sing hut were de
termined evidently to have it anything
but be-witching (no goak intended.)
We must say that these infernal witches
sang every witch (which) way, and we
failed to hear them strike a single chord,
save discord . The machinists apd pro
perty men were painfully remiss in their
duties .Saturday night; ' The indi
viduals entrusted with the grave
responsibility of “hewing a storm”
for Macbeth outside the walls of his
dreary castle, should have come to
some sort of an understanding between
themselves as to the duration, direc
tion, and violence of the storm. An
agreement of this kind would have ob
viated the remarkable atmospherical phe
nomena witnessed Saturday night, where
very rapid thunder resounded on one side
of the rtage, and quite vivid flashes of
lightning entered only through a door on
the opposite side. It would liaye been
wise had the “ storm brewers ” tried to
reconcile, in, a natural way* the warring
elements. We were thankful when the
curtain fell upon the last scene in the last
act of Macbeth, for it was a worried per
formance throughout.
The afterpiece, “Somebody Else,” was
one of those pleasing Comediettas which
are well calculated to please, and it was
the excellent rendition of this sparkling
little dramatic fcuiUeton that redeeme d,
in a great measure, the failure of Mac -
beth. Mr. Raymond as “Hans Moritz”
was inimitable and gave us fresh eviden
ces of his genuine originality as a first
class genteel comedian. It is no flattery
to say that whatever Mr. Raymond does
he invariably succeeds ifa doing well.
Miss M. E. Gordon was irresistibly
charming as “Minnie,” and we were
wafted back to the halcyon days of our
boyhood when with breathless ecstacy we
watched and admired the pet of the stage,
Miss Agnes Robertson, as she tripped
like a sprite over the stage with her mer
ry blithesome voice ringing out its cheer
ful tones and gladdening the hearts o f
all listener!. The naive, piquant style,
the graceful abandon of Miss Gordon in
comedy and farce—her Exquisite taste in
dressing—and above all her modest de
meanor and strict adhesion to the author’s
text, stamp her as a lady of refinement
and an actress of superior talent. There
is an entire absence of that lewdness of
gesture and speech which has too often
disgraced ana degenerated the stage and
in which Mrs. John Wood,8allie St. Clair,
Laura Keene and other comediennes have
indulged for the sake of enjoying an
unhealthy an d fictitious popularity. The
Louise- of ^Miss Isadora” Cameron was
worthy of .this auxtest^ahcl promising
young lady, while handsome Ernest, by
Mr. Loud, Hittermau by Mr. Briggs,
were both capitally done, and the gentle
manly bearing of Mr. Loud, on all occa
sions, deserves recognition at our hands.
CQLLEEN BAWN TO-NIGHT.
A Planter’s Views on tbe manage
men! of Free I<abor.
It affords us ft great deal of pleasure to
invite the careful attention of our* read
ers to the lengthy communication which
appears on the first page, discussing the
great National problem Free Labor, the
success of which is of such vital importance
to our whole-country and especially to the
prosperity of the Southern States. The
practicable suggestions contained in this
letter, are from the pen of a distinguished
Georgia gentlemen,' who invests his
rational ideas with the ripe experience
of slave labor, and his propositions are
singularly free from many of those in
sane theories that we frequently see ad
vocated by both Northern and Southern
Utopians in relation to the colored race,
ideas generally arising from ignorance or
deep-seated prejudice. The views of the
writer are stated very clearly, and ^ire
characterized by candor, deep research,
and patient investigation into all the
different phases which the ‘ ‘new order of
things” has'placed upon the future labor
system of the South.
It is really refreshing to meet with
Southern gentlemen, men of social dis
tinction who wield an influence for good
or evil, enunciating such noble senti
ments, so full of hope for the futnre wel
fare of the South. It makes us feel en
couraged to hear a Southern man, a
former slaveholder, say that the negroes
will work, if properly managed, and that
their presence can be made an agricultu -
ral blessing to the South. Here is an
educated planter counselling wisdom and
moderation, who, like many of his neigh
bors, lias sustained a fearful loss by the
war; a large plantation ruined—invaluable
slave property scattered, and other losses
similar to those the war has inflicted upon
all the Southern States. We cannot
agree with the writer on all the
points he has taken in relation to the
free labor scheme and the negroes, but
on the whole, no more lucid, feasible and
just plans to both whites and blacks, have
yet been proposed, and we there
fore publish the letter entire. We
detect a spirit of humanitarianism in this
document, and an abandonment of many
of the old theories and prejudices, the
natural offspring of slavery, that is omin
ous of the gradual return of calm and
rational judgment upon the gigantic
issues that the war has presented for the
prompt and earnest consideration of the
Southern people. The opinion of one
practical, experienced, honest Southern
man, like the writer of the article on our
first page, is worth more than the views
of twenty experimentalists with nothing
but theoretical ideas to recommend then-
plans.
There are thousands of honest South
ern men who conscientiously believe that
you can no more make a free colored
man work without severe compulsory
rules, something that in its bindings is
equivalent to the old institution of sla
very, than one can stay the tide flood
with a pitchfork. This is not to be won
dered at, and is easily traced to the habits,
associations and superstitions of years.
To expect to root out these deep-seated
prejudices of a century in less than a
year, is asking too much of fallible man,
There is still another class of men who
believe that the two races can never ex
ist together—that the welfare and happi
ness of both races demand the separa
tion or colonization of the blacks. We
do not share in any such gloomy delu
sions. Much of this misapprehension
for the success of the free labor system
is the legitimate fruit of that despondency
and discouragement resulting from the
war.
We believe that Providence will speed
ily prove that the extinction of the bar
barous institution of slavery even though
accomplished by the .terrors of fire and
sword “ is a blessing in disguise.” Fa
vored as we are with the most
fertile lands in the world, the very soi-
we tread rich in treasure, which free
labor alone can properly develop, we
have only to cease lamenting over the
gloomy past and adspting ourselves to
the miraculous change wrought by seces
sion, shape the course of the Empire
State so that Georgia will be the first to
enter the grand arena of freedom and
win the prize of prosperity. Stop this
idle speculation and let practicable activ-
ty assume the place of wild theories, and
the South will soon recuperate her wasted
energies while the desolated spots and
blackened ruins will vanish. Subordi
nate all things to the new condition in
which we are placed, and with nil despe-
randum for our motto we must pro
gress and meet with abundant success.
