De'Mille THE CREEDS OF THE BELLS, -.....-.-. G. W. Bungay A SCENE FROM "THE SCHOOL FOR SCAND.iL,'' Sheridan Opinions of the Press. Mrs. Scott-Sidflons hiis physictil advantiifjies of a rare i>rJer — a graceful figure, a face of uncounnon beauty and singular brilliancy and refinement of expresaion, and a clear full voice of equal power and flexibility — combining with these precious gifts histrionic talent ;ind elocutionary skill. She excels in passionate grief and profound terror. — Moniiug Pout. On Monday night last a veritable meteor appealed among the fixed stars of the Sliaksperian hemisphere. * * * The lady stepped from one triumph to an- other throughout the evening, and created, beyond a doubt, a most profound impression. Mrs. Scott-Sid- dons, by the sheer force of iiborn genius, carries everything before her. She is an actress of all intents and purposes, and, more than this, she is one of na- ture's own actresses. — Era. We may confidently assert that Mrs. Scott-Siddons is one of the greatest acquisitions of which the modern stage can boast. * * * — Standard. Mrs. Scott-Siddons in face bears a remarkable re- semblance to Mrs. Siddons in Gainsborough's painting. Her talent is most strongly exhibited in'c(miedy, her manner and delivery being piquant and engaging. —Daily News. > Her whole performance, indeed, showH that she has not entered carelessly upon her career, but is deter- mined to give the highest finish to every part she undei^^es. * * * There is no doubt with so many t»!lvantages, intrinsic and extrinsic, in her favor, Mrs. Scott-Siddons will make a good figure during the London Season. — Tirmx. [WRItTEN BY LORD WM. LENNOX. ] There are few playgoers left who renieniber the glories of the Siddons, the impassioned strains of O'Neil, or the elegant and finished perfoimance of Charles Kemble. Those, then, who did n >t live in what are termed the palmy days of the drar , may witness in Mrs. Scott-Siddons' readings of "As you like it," "Henry V," "The Bridge of Sighs, " "The Death of Queen Elizabeth," all the best qualities of the al)ove artistes, while in a chai)ter from Mark Twain, and in a story of Samuel Lover's, they will have brought to mind the elder Matthews and Tyrone Power. As Rosalind Mrs. Scott-Siddons was faultless. Her gaiety is artless, natural, and unforced, and she presents all the nice shades and features of this nutsterly produc- tion iu the glowing in life imagined by the author without exaggeration or (>ver-c(jloring. Her versatile powers arc marvellous, for she is equally happy in the delicate humour and in the light points as she is in the excpiisite pathos of the serious passages. Of her it may be truly said, as it was of Mrs. Jordon, ' 'Her ap- pearance is loveliness personified her voice is the perfection of melody, her smile has the effect of sun- shine, and her laugh does one good to hear it. Her attitudes, too, and action are so expressive uf the (Missions she delineates, that even had she not spoken, her story would have been perfectly intelligible to the audience. In the scene from "Henry V," when that Monarch sues for the hand of Katharine Mrs. Scott- Siddons produced the greatest effect; lier delineation of the "warlike Harry," her broken English, her per- fect French, as th^ .fair daughter of Charles VI. and Isabel, drew down rounds of applause, as did her representation of the love-devoted Orlando. For tenderness, and natural pathos, the delivery of Hood's poem has never been equalled. — Cmirt Journal, Lon- don, July 4th, 1874. MHIGHTON. We can, however, t<= 11 the public that for once the laudation of the metropolitan critics has not been more than deserved. All yet written of Mrs. Scott-Siddons falls short of the praise to which she is entitled. She has the true dramatic genius ; and if her physical power will uphold her mental excellence, she is sure to prolong and advance the fame of her family. — BrighUm Guardian. " SIDDONS TO THE RESCUE ! '—Lmvdmi Punch. Mrs. Scott Siddons.— Previous to the departure of this great actress from South Australia, we were favor- ed with one more intellectual treat in the shape of another of her enjoyable readings. On Thursday afternoon there was a large and fashionable audience at White's Rooms, at which the dite of Adelaide were to the fore, embracing the crein« de la creme of society (His Lordship the Bishop of Adelaide being amongst the number), and a varied programme wab presented, embracing most of the features with which we are Opinions of the Press. ulroiidy ucquaintud, and including noiiie novelties. The sleep walking scene from Macbeth, was given in Mrs. Siddons' masterly style, and her ex<|uisite pathos was well shown in the scene from King John, " Hubert and Arthur." Tlie c(jmetly portirms were as usual, highly successful, and the "Greeds of the Bells" was as wonderful as ever. Mrs. Riddons leaves for Mel- bourne this day (Saturday), leaving behind extremely pleasant recollections, which will be treasured by her many admirers.— 77ie Lauffiii, AtMniile, Smith Au»- tndia. Mrs. ScioTT-SiDPONH. — We observe that the inhabi- tants of this district are to have the distinguished honor of a visit from Mrs, Scott-Siddona. The fact of i the talented and graceful descendant nf the great Sarah { Siddons visiting the interior of Australia will give i some food for thought, the nu)re so when it is remeni- i bered that the ablest critics in the world accord to her i pniise almost equal to that given to the great SanvMl herself. The visit of Mrs. Scott-Siddons will be \ devoted to recitals and readings, and will afford a treat ! the extent of which can only be estimated by those i whose great privilege it hiis been to appreciate the j efforts of great actresses and actors on the stage, I although none can attend such recitals without bein^; | enraptured. Students of suftioient age to understand i what they read, should certainly he permitted by their I parents and guardians to be present. None can listen to Mrs. Scott-Siddons without being l)enefitted. Mm. Scott-Siddons' rendering of RomiUnd and JirlUtt were such vi' 'd and pow«nrful pieces of dramatic illustrations as are rarely seen. — Birmhtgham Daily Gazette. Another great triumph did Mrs. ^ddtms achieve in the second piec&— " King Rent's Daughter"— and in' a very diffinent walk of acting. The pranksonie sallies itt Roanlind were exohaiigod for the inward calm of blindness, )>ut still the actress exercised her witchery over the house. Contrast of style and manner were com] )lete, but success was the sante. Tlie spectators who hud laughed the laugh of heartiest appreciaticm at hkr wit-combats, with Orhuulo and Tinirhxtimr, and had relished with infinite gusto her exquisite reading of Shakespeare's Jests, listened with breathless atten- tion to the subdued girl bereft of sight. Those who have partly attributed Mrs. Siddons' power over an aiidieilce to the artillery of her liistrous eyes had their theory upset entirely by this representation of Jtiimxthr. Without any aid from looks of entreaty or flashes of indignation, with her eyes upturned as if they were sightless, the accomplishetl lady held the audience spell-biuind. She never raise OuloiiiRt Htauii PrcMHuii.
