Show Theatre. I,st night for the benefit of Mr. Raymond "The Serious Family" and "I'aul Fry" were played, two old, sterling comedies, that aro always popular, and when well played arc always a treat. Mr. Raymond's. Aminidab Sleek was diflerent iu scv- j eral respects from the usual stage ! character made of it, and was rich in every scene. It is no flattery to say , that he is one f the best comedians now on the stage, excellent in everything every-thing he attempts, and stirring the risibilities of his audience by the most legitimate means, without introducing introduc-ing anything unnecessarily brood or employing any adventitious aids. His Fatil Fry was extremely unctions. The periormaucc was Kuniewnai. marrwi by certain members of tbo company not being up in the.ii parts, which caused it to drag in a manner any- thing but satisfactory to the audience. Such carelessness is inexcusable, and Ian injustice alike to the public and the managers of the theatre, and we : trust that the ladies and gentlemen at I fault will not for their own sakes, if! for no other consideration, allow it to ! occur again. Professor O' Iteardim again repealed his wonderful performance on the glasses and piano, between the pieces. For the matinee performance-, U-' day, "Our American Cousin" will be played, and is a most attractive performance, per-formance, Mr. Raymond as Asa, Mr. Crosbic as Lord Dundreary, Miss WalterB as Florence, and Miss Adams as Mary Meredith. The matimo will conclude with Prof. O. tleardon's wonderful performance of the fumb-leronicon, fumb-leronicon, which will afford ladies and children an excellent opportunity opportuni-ty of witnessing his pleasing musical novelty before the Profe8or leaves the e.iiy. In the evening "Only a Jew" will be again . given, teaching one of the holiest lessons that humanity can learn, ami being one of tbo most pleasingly attractive dramas in the language, Ar. H-iyniond an Nathali. "In a Uegnlar Fix" will conclude, Mr. Kayniond as Hugh de Brass. Botli pieces arc cast as before. Between the drama and farce Professor Pro-fessor O'Reardon will make hi 1M appearance nere in nis tumoieronicon 1 performance, and should be seen and heard by all who have not witnessed his performance, or who, having done so. desire to renew the enjoyment. |
