Show Nell soil. The theatre was crowded in every part lat night, many people being unable to nod soul, which is another and striking evideuce that real merit on the stage will "draw" here as elsewhere, regardless of the complaint com-plaint about dull times. Of the per lormanco we have nothing but words of praise. We doubt if the gn;at tragedy of "Romeo and Juliot," i a whole, was ever bolter played in Silt Lake; certain tbe cLmnnH'ir of Juliet was never so well enacted hero as last ovening. Whercvi Miss Neilsou has appeared in Europe and Aru&ric. the press critics h bean leud in praise of her acting, mid especially es-pecially of her impersonation of Juliet; an after witneuing lior in the character we cannot futur ex press our aduiira'.iou, than by sayiug the warm encomiums bestowed upon ner were fully merited. Besides being one ol the greatmt acireaae of tbe day. Miss Neilsou is one of tbe most beautiful ladies on the stage. The local company gave excellent dupport. Although Romeo is not Mr. Lindsay's style of character, that gentleman gen-tleman made a very fair lover. Mr. Porster made a decided hit as Mor-cutio. Mor-cutio. Wo do not recollect to have seen him to better advantage than in tne pan. air. inorne csmyeu hia old character of the Friar, which he played with bid usual truthfuludi to nature, and care. Mrs. Bo wring wbo has been absent from the stage here for a number of years, reappeared reap-peared as tbe nurse, which she looked and enacted in good style. Miss Neilson was called before the curtain on two or three occasions, and was the recipient of frequent applause. This evening she appears as Rosa-lind Rosa-lind in that charming comedy "As 1 You Like It." This ii one of Shakespeare's Shake-speare's prettiest comedies, and Rosalind Rosa-lind one ef his moat attractive and entertaining characters. |
