After an interval of a few minutes, Oxenford's
pretty faros "Only a Halfpenny" was presented, as
follows ;—Mr. Fitzroy Plannet, lair. R. Ebdon ;
Mr. Stanley Jones, Mr. Brooks; Henrietta, Miss L
Jarvis; Bridget, Miss S. Weeks.
The concluding farm, and • most laughable one, by
C. A. Maltby, had the followind cast:—Mr. Botberby
"fibbing, Mr. J. N. Terry; Horatio Gustavus Tattle-
ton, Mr. B. White; Dick Mizzle (boots), Mr. G.
Thorne; Violet, Miss C. Avant; Emma, Miss 8.
Weeks.
In the first farce, "Smoked Miser," Mr. Hertel
was to have taken the character of °MIA. but. eating
under the advice of Dr. Evans, be was obliged to
forego the part allotted him, which was, however,
kindly taken by Mr. Brooks, who sustained the mow
what heavy role in excellent style, drawing forth load
applause and continuous laughter. Mr. Par ly, • oce.
federate of the miser, did hie part most creditably, and
his aged " get up' was simply • marvel. Mr. G.
Terry enacted the difficult and double character of a
gallant captain and an English farmer io the life, and
appeared equally at home in both delineations, and
Mr. C. Powell, as Giles Sowthistle, was the very
essence of provincial simplicity as • "ion of the soli."
Master A. Baker made his first bow to the public, but
be may look back to his Mid, unless his humility
preeents, with satisfaction.
The curtain rose on a pretty acene—s, drawing-room
—for the second faros, "Only a Half-penny." The
ladies did remarkably well, for Miss Jarvis, as Hen.
Hotta (a bride), maintained • wondrous grace and
coolness throughout the piece, equalled only by the
confidence and devotion on the part of Bridget (Mies
Week), to her mistress, Mr. Brooks, all must acknow-
ledge, carried out the difficult and persistent part of
Stanley Jones to perfection, and his mama exits were
marked by repeated applause. The atmosphere of the
footlights appeared to be most congenial to Mr.
Brooks, who marks to become one the best amateurs
in our midst.
The flack, "Borrowed Plumes," was unquestionably
Ms faros of the evening, not only for plot, but for the
comic element diffused through int it. The piece was
in the hands of several, who, evidently, knew how to
manage it. and their efforts were entirely successful.
Mr. J. N. Terry, as Bibbine, was capital, and Mr.
White. as Tsttleton and Captain Blotter, carried
himself through in his usual happy and faithful style.
Miss Avant, as • daughter of Mr. Botberby Bibbins,
was generally liked, and Miss Week,' again se
" Emma" moored another gnomes. The '' low•oomedy
man" was, of course, Mr. G. Thorne, who excited the
rilible faculties of the endears at • somewhat onions
rate, by his broad•farciral essays, and his troubles in
meruming the character of "Horatio."
It may be wifely said that the imolai was the 11204
enjoyable one of the season, indeed, the moms was so
great that, by special roped, the amateurs consented
to give their services again on the Saturday evening
following. On Thursday night,Sergeant-ciajor Watts
acted in the oneious capacity of stagermanaget, and S.
Whethato, Esq., as prompter.
On Saturday night there was • fairly good house,
when the stage-manager was the Rev. F. J. Cheater,
and prompter, Sergeant-Major Watts.
Thanks are due to Sergeant-Major Watts for his
efforts in prompting and directing the rehearsals, and
to Mr. )3rownwlon for various stage fittings, k.c.
