Madame Ristori's performance of Goldoni's La Locandiera supplies proof, if it were still needed, of the reality of her genius for tragedy. It is inevitable that whoever has the qualities essential to the genuine presentment of a tragic part should be able to present also true comedy ; the greater contains the less. Mere keenness of every-day observation may make a comedian, but the quick percep- tion, the rare power of depicting all emotion, which belongs to the best tragic acting, must belong ...to comedy as well, and the tragedian is also in the best sense a comedian if his art be not merely a trick. July 26. — Mdlle. Wagner takes leave of the London public as Tancredi. She does not act the part, and, con- sidered as impersonation of a character, the errors are so manifest that probably no impersonation was intended. But the part is brilliantly dressed, after the child's beau ideal of a knight, the posturing is graceful and not once extravagant ; and the singing is her best. August 9.
