ABSTRACT
WE have been at all the Theatres, and I am charmed with the comic actors. The tragic performers afforded me much less pleasure. Before we can admire Madame Vestris, the first tragic actress of Paris, we must have lost the impression (a thing impossible) of Mrs. Siddons’s performance; who, instead of “tearing a passion to rage,” like Madame Vestris, only tears the hearts of the audience with sympathy.
