Analysing this art from another and a more technical point of view, we aro struck above all by its quietudo-and concentration, by the difficulty experienced in ascertaining the means through which this great, simple, moving impression is conveyed. Acting (we shrink somewhat from the use of the term) of this kind is in its very simplicity, in the classic breadth of its plastic and dramatic effects, n*w to tho English public cf today. It is essentially tragic, and we have too much forgotten over here that tragedy docs not mean mere noise cr even dramatic fervour and demonstrativeness; that it means quietude, intensity, climax, rhythmic beauty of speech and action, generalised truth, nobility, and grandeur in the presentment of tho great passions, the higher Dnd the lewer. Maria Carrai might piny the moro womanly among tho Greek heroines: tho patienv, dauntless virgin, Antigone, the mournful Andromache, the Iphigenia, tho prophetic Cassandra. Sho might _ represent, as none has hitherto, the snint-Jiko St. Elizabeth of Hungary, so incomparably Tealised by AVagntfr in "Tannhaiiser"; she might stand forth the embodiment of that great figure of the Middle Ages, St. Catherine of Siena; she might givo to the world a Joan c-f Arc as touching in humility as heroic in .fervour.' Wo shall follow with the greatest interest, and with confident hope of her speedy return to us, the career of this greatly gifted artist, to whom already we owe so much.
