Mr. John Griffith, the eminent tragedian who is to appear here on Saturday evening, is beyond any doubt the very best legitimate actor at present before the American public. He is tall, angular, with a clean cut figure, a mobile, strongly featured face, and a rich and powerful voice. In these essentials he is, perhaps, without a living peer, and his youth is not the least valuable of his possessions. Before him lies a straight path to the highest professional honors that any actor could desire, for it leads through the fields of legitimacy to a goal of fame that shall be as enduring as that won by Forrest, Booth, McCullough, Barrett, Keene and the other mighty masters of stagecraft who have gone before.
