Show AA REPLY <br><br> Editor Leader:-In your last issue there appeared and article entitled: An Amateur Critic," which reflected very forcibly on some parties who claim to be respectable people, and in reply the " ‘supe‘ in a dramatic association in an adjoining town" wishes to make a few explanations. "An Amateur Critic" will treat Mr. "Observer" with better respect than to give him such an appellation as "supe," Mr. "Supe," in company with a lady and a gentleman friend repaired to the theatre to witness the performance of the "Skeleton Witness." The article states that "Amateur Critic" entertained the audience for ten feet around. This ten feet circle consisted of three persons, and they feel proud of being able to fill so large a space. Mr. G. I. Bywater is an intimate friend of Mr. "Supe" & Co., and they were praising his acting above all others. The friend of Mr. "Supe" quoted the first paragraph of "Hamlet's ? to the players," and from this Mr. "Annoyed Party" having heard some names mentioned, constructed the expressions given in the above named article. Mr. "Supe" remarked that "It would relieve his nervous system very much if some parties on the stage would stand still a minute." The "Amateur Critic" remarked that "Mr. Angell is a natural genius and can make a success of everything;" at this juncture "the fair one at his side" observed that Mr. Angell's wife sat in front of them.<br><br> We don't think any attention should have been paid to Mr. "Supe" & Co., as they are only country "Jakes" and are not much used to the elegant accomplishment to city life, so the next time they attend the theatre they will sit mute and immovable and take it all in as first-class acting, so that they will not have to bear and more insults from Mr. "Observer,"<br><br> ‘AN AMATEUR CRITIC.'
