Almost every personal characteristic of tlita great actress in optxwed to the qualities which are the component parti) of tho' lovely anil bewitching Cmnille, and yet, with tho disadvantage of ago, and lacking in beauty, Clara Morris, who at HrHt repulses, gradually wIiih the favor of the audience, and llnally achieves a triumph that in complete. KOlIiewT Thcro is no other voice on tho stage or anywhero olso in this wido world that in quito like Clara Morris". It is hnish, Hat, und but it detles discription. It is almost impossible to imagine anyone falling in love, particularly mi exten sively as did Armmul, with a woman with a voice like Clara Morris'; but this same voice that 1b at first repellent is capablo of such intlection under tho re markable control of tho actress, that it becomes at times almost dulcet in its tones, and whispers to Arnuind an invitation that is bo sweet, so gentle, that it is all but irresistible. Miss Morris is not beautiful, but she cannot help that. She has a disagree able voice, but she cannot help that. She has defective teeth, and this she can help, or rather remedy. Love, the sages tell us, is blind, and Avmunil might not observe the absence of beauty in his Camilla but he could not avoid seeing tho black teeth of tho mistress of his heart, and who could love a woman with a black tooth? These things, howovor, are suporlleial, and porhaps should not bo considered. Clara Morris in her chosen Held has no serious m-nlB among English speak ing actresses. Wo have had tears, and breaking hearts; but wo have had no tears and no breaking hearts like hers. Her favorite parts are thof-o in which there is u constant play of conflicting nmntinnp. mid luir traiiHitions from one ...nn.1 l.t .itwiMw.e .ficallur ti'llll tlw.Wfltldf, ' swiftness from tho reckless gajety of tho dotni-mondaino to tho tender sweet ness of truo womanly love, jr from tho tenderness of lovo to tho abandon of the heartless woman of tho world, are truly remarkable The ompt) laugh of tho coquotto and tho sigh of love, tho ex presBion of inelTable contempt and the manifestation of tho most abject humility follow each, other with startling rapidity, and her powor in each of the varying moods is tho same. If she brings sympathetic teais when sho dies in tho arms of Armand, lighted in the eyes of hor lover when it is too late, she compels admiration when she quails before 31. Ditval,um llnally disarms her accuser by hoioiu Half sacrifice. Many plays have been written that have attempted to make manifest tho almost insurmountable dilllculties that besot tho path of tho woman who has sinned, and who would rise f una herself and hor surroundings into an ntmos phoro of purity and tho companionship and love of those who are untainted; but tho atory is nowhere told with more tolling efTcct than in Camilla, and as this unfortunate woman speaks through Clara Morris, tho effect of the Btory can not bo otherwise than moial. Tho audience at the Lansing theatie Wednesday was large, and gratifyinglj appreciative. Tho company supporting Miss Morris contains some capable peo ple, and some who could veiy easily lie improved upon. Mr. CJlondonning is not a conspicuously effective .lrMw. History gives us tho impression that Richelieu was a man in whom tho cur rents of human emotion ran swift and deep, but seldom, if ever, disturbed the serenity of an outward demeanor that 9(x?iflHHHI'-'i' ll was at once the admiration and do pair of tho enemies of the great cardinal who wan greater oven than tho king. Hleh' , elieu wan no ordinary man to blush at soino unexpected thrust, or Htart at somu Hiidden denouement; ho lieard and 1 paw what was paid and done around him, lie listened to revelations, Issued decrees, without losing that equipoise that Ih the concomitant of gicntness. Tho cardinal wIioho boast it was that he re created Franco, wuh a auperb actor, masterful in sclf-eontiol. He did not give way to purely emotional manifesta tions in the manner represented by Walker Whiteside, the brilliant joung tragedian, who made Ida Hint appearance IJOWNINO, in Lincoln at the Lansing theatre Tues day evening, in one of the most difllcult roles in the realm of the legitimate drama. Hut it seems to ub that the joung actor gave a most intelligent and forceful interpretation of this great character. At times his articulation was not distinct, and his Itiehelieu to some critical minds may have been on one or two occasions a little too enthu siastic. Hut these uro minor defects. Ho is unquestionably an actor of much strength and versatile talent. Hooth's Iticltclien was a much feebler man, physically, and in Ins supreme moments, when confionted by tho murderer, and humiliated by Aoijj'k, the contrast be tween his phjsical weakness and his incomparable self-possession and will power, made tho cardinal more majestic than Mr. Whiteside's rojnesentation. The latter is original in some of his methods; his slight form lends effective ness to the part; he shows with great power tho craftiness and subtlety or Richelieu's character, and in tho softer passages with Julie ho is admirable. The scene in tho chamber of tho cardi nal, and tho one in the gardens of tho Louvre, where calling to Ids aid tho pent up energy of yeais, he rises to the supreme effort of a life almost spent, and throws around Julie tho protection of tho church, and makes De Baradas quail before tho curse of Rome, are vivid siago pictures, in wnieli tlio young tragedian is distinctly powerful. Mr. Whitctiido wss supported by an evenly balanced company. Charles A. Loder's "Oh, What a Night!" drew a faiily good house at tho Lansing theatre Thursday night. The show is a farce of the most farcical sort. Tho state bund gave its third sacred concert at tho Lansing theatre Sunday evening. An inteiesting program had been arranged, and the selections were given with tho brilliance that almost invariable characterizes the peifor mimces of this: highly creditable institu tion. Miss Emma Moffitt sang, and Mr. W. S. Fulton gave ntuhn solo, and re sponded to an encore.

Ilobert Downing the popular Ameri can tragedian will appear at the Lans ing on next Wednesday evening in a grand production of Sheridan Kuowles tragedy "Virglnius." Graduating from John T. Ford's Washington Stock company and supplementing that schooling witli an experience of several years in the support of John MoCul lough, Mary Anderson and Josoph Jef ferson, Mr. Downing's stage career has fitted him well for careful endeavor in tho higher forms of (lie drama and developed his art in the direction in dicated by his pcisouallty and (lie bent of his genius. Since he began his stalling touis in tho legitimate drama half a doeu jenrs ago Mr. Downing lias giowu steadily in the estimation of the public. Ilin (lltidiutw is legal (led as one or lite stiougest eharacteis on the stage. Eugenie llltiii a handsome and talented lichens who has suppoited neat l all of the tragedians or of teeent veins is the leading woman in Mr. Downing's company, and her pei pollu tions of the jouthful heroines of the classical drama lend no small charm to Mr. Downing's pioduclions. The com piin in mi) port is without doubt one of the stiougest orgauiatiousof legitimate plajcrsnow befoie Hie public, and in cludes such artists as that sterling and well known actor Edmund Collier for mum eius tho leading man for the late lamented John McCulloiigh.

Tho l other membeis are artists of well known , ability having been engaged especially for the pur's iipHigued to them. The Thanksgiving day attraction at tho Lansing theatre matinee and even ing, will bo "The Silver King." It has been several years since this popular play has been seen in this city. Mr. Carl A. Haswin, will assume the leading role., his characterization of the part of Wilfiml tie Vcre, the conscience stricken hero, is said to bo a piece of iiowerf id acting. He will bo supported by a thoroughly competent company. Tho scenic effects are on an especially elaborate scale, and the play will be presented with careful attention to detail. Tliero will bo two performances of "The Silver King," afternoon and evening. "The Span of Life" is duo at the Lans ing eriday, Uccombcr 1, and I'll nine Rice, Saturday tho 2d.

Next to tho world's fair, all our foieign friends want to seo Niagaru Falls, and in the minds of mffhy, Niagara Falls is placed flwt. One of tho first questions thoy ask an Ameri can either at home or aboard is about Niagara, but to many of us Niagara Falls is too near. Wero it on tho other sideof tho world, thousandsof American globe trottois would hasten theio, who pass it by now because they can go there any time. The Michigan Central has made it, perhaps, too easy of accesB, for ita through trains from Chicago to Now York and Boston run directly by and in full view of the great cataract, and those passing by daylight stop five minutes for passongeiB to viow tho Falls. The wise traveller however will stop over there as long as his time will por mlt to view the bounties and tho gran dour of tho falls under different aspects and from different points of viow. Tho longer ho stops tho more ho will llnd to repay him for whatever expenditure of time and money he incurs.
