Miss Maildern melts into an embrace and hang on to a kiss in a way that sets one to wondering wby people ever talk aboiit the Abbott kiss when eomething po mii'-h morescientifio is illustrated by Miss Maddern. Abbott's kiss is a mere nuisy splinter, that might be henrd a block off. It arre8ts attention with its effusion and demonstrativenees, but it is neveriheless flat, stale and empty, and the marvel is that, as a progressive woman, Abbott basn't got on tb something different. Her osculatory fireworks Bink into insignifieancecompared with the linked and long drawnout Bweetness of Miss Maddern's kiss-a kiss that merges a man's very soul into a single caress. At the opera house, Feb IQt.h. One of the best performances in town this week is that given by Miss Maddern and her excellent company. Miss Maddern appears in roles which she created in New York and played at the Lyceum Theatre. She is a unique and, in several senses of the word, a surprising actress. Her wonderful sincerity, her exemption from all the tramraels of theatrical traditions, her artistic comprehen8ion of pathos and womanliness, and her exceptional means of natural execution, entitles her to the most critical attention. Mies Maddern has all that inward comprehension for which one looks in vain in the ranks of other American actresses, and a face and voice that reflect feeling along the entire compass of sweet and lovable womanhood. There are points in this younsactres8' work we can think of no other actress whn could excel. - Boston Home Journal.
