PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
Mrs. Butler (late Miss, Fanny Kemble) made her first
appearance on the stage since her retirement, at this theatre
last evening. The part chosen for her debit was that of
Julia, in the .Hunchback, a character which she herself bad
created originally, and in which the majority of her suc-
cessors have taken I.er as their model. On her first appear-
ance she was greeted with most enthusiastic applause—so
enthusiastic that her reception apparently unnerved her for
the time, and prevented her doing full justice to the
earlier scenes. She warmed, however, as she proceeded, and
the celebrated "Do it," produced the same electrical effect
as ever. She was called for at the conclusion, and received
with cheers, which laAted several minutes. She was ad-
mirably supported by Mrs. Stirling, whose Helen was quite
equal to the Julia of Mrs. Butler, and by Mr. Cresswick, who
acted Master Walter, and by humanizing the Hunchback,
made him more interesting than any of his predecessors have
done. Compton's Modus was exceedingly quaint. The
house was very well attended.
