HENRY RUSSELL AT THE LYCE[3I'

his
Mr. Russell bas been giving a farewell series of
American entertainment at the Lyceum
the most extraordinary success. The house has 0.
/post
crowded to overflowing night after night, by
thusiastic and delighted audiences. We are pleasedr.
see that notwithstanding the multiplicity of the an
dates for public favour with which this vast inetropolv
abounds, Mr. Russell retains his well-earned and ills%
deserved popularity unimpaired. And this no one
begrudge him, for the tendency of all his entertainnieet,,,.
Theatre
iv:lieeltnA
since the period when he first launched his bark on.tn;
tide of public opinion, has been not only unexcePtifeto
able but most laudable. The remark bas been often
made, that no one can hear Mr. Russell without b
ial
made a better man—without having the more
sympathies of his nature amused—the remark 1° ct„
true one, for while Russell aims to delight and instrififet
he also aims to excite a sympathy for human sn the
ing and an admiration of the noble and ill
good. Mr. Russell's entertainment is °ne
ess
every respect worthy of the decided suc
which he has met. The views are well paint° g
description is given in Russell's own Fue-",.1%
style, the anecdotes are related as Russell only
er
relate them, the songs are sung with the utmost P° he
and pathos—for Russell is in excellent voice, an' 'ls
piano "speaks" the language of melody, as it never f‘ra
to do when guided by Russell's genius. We are jii
to observe that Kirkman's piano used at the eutert
ment is a splendid instrument, and when at ipterTl:
it was combined with the pianoire, the effect of its
ing notes on the vast audience was most surf Be.
We can safely say that we have never seen any la rge,leil
semblages of people more enraptured. To all our r"'"-the
and to the public generally we say, " pay a visit to
Lyceum beiore Mr. Russell's series is concluded."
