| Evidence: | ?We saw at Brussels two of the best Paris actors, and Madame Talma. The play was Racine?s Andromache (initiated in England as the Distressed Mother.) Madame Talma played Andromache and her husband Orestes. .. We read the play in the morning, an excellent precaution, otherwise the novelty of the French mode of declamation would have set my comprehension at defiance.? |
