Show DICKEX'S AS AX ACTOR. I he fuicc of "Mr. N igtitinga'e 9 Diary," the joint prodiictiun ui Dictei s and Murk Lclloii, which t'ollovred W'ilkie Collins' play at Tavistoc-k Iluu.-e, was wull calculated to cxhihit the versatility of the principal actor. Mr. Dickens played one Mr. GuO'jIl-icitj, GuO'jIl-icitj, in which character he a:-suu)ed four or five different disguises, changing chang-ing his dress, voice, and louk with a rapidity and completeness which a iiiust practiced "entertainer' ' uiit-'lu envy. This whim.-ieal pieje of extravagance extrav-agance had been before played by the same actors in the performances for the benefit of the Guild of Literature and Art, but lias never been printed, except ex-cept privately for the use of the original origi-nal actois. What portions were contributed con-tributed by the joint authors respectively respect-ively can only be surmised, but there were certain characters and speeches ' which bore vciy clearly siamped upon them the mark uf their authorship. One of the characters played by Mr. I'ickens was an old lady, in great trouble and perplexity about a missing child; ol which character (being nameless name-less in the drama) lie always spoke, when he had occasion to refer to her oil the stage, as Mrs. Gamp, some of whose speeches were as weii worthy of preservation lor droll extravagance of ineongiu.ty as the best ot her famous prototype in "Martin Chuzzlewit. " lu addition to her perplexiiy about the missing intant, she is lurther embarrassed embar-rassed as to the exact surname of Mr. Nightingale, whose name she remembers remem-bers to be that of a bird, but cauuot always refer to the correct species of that, order. A quotation from memory will leave no Uoubt as to the ferdle and singular fancy from whose mint it came: "No, I will not leave the house 1 I will not leave the establishment without with-out my child, my boy. My boy, sir. which he was his mother's hope and his father's pride, and no one as I am aweer ou's joy.
