A DRAMATIC CRITIC
" out of the bill," repaired, with much
curiosity, to the Museum to see Adri-
enne the Actress, cast with Miss Eliza
Logan as the heroine, and Mr. Keach as
Maurice de Saxe, He found the perform-
ance, as a whole, anything but to his taste,
and expressed his displeasure with un-
sparing frankness. But of Mr. Warren
he said : " Mr. W. Warren, who played
the role of Michonnet, has seemed to me
exceedingly remarkable. [Italics in the
original.] He acted the part of the old
stage manager with versatile talent, and I
have applauded him with the whole
house." And after a sweeping expression
of disgust concerning the various anachro-
nisms in dress, he was careful to add, " I
do not allude to Mr. Warren, who was
irreproachably costumed."
My contemporaries will heartily commend
my insistence upon the greatness of
this artist and the greatness of his product,
and the readers of the younger generation
