ST. JAMEs'S THP_ATRE.
FRENCH PLAYS.

A new petite comedie, by Scribe—a new vaudeville, by
Bayard and Charles Lafont—and the first appearance in
England of Mademoiselle Rose Cheri, were the attractions
which last night drew a crowded and fasbionable audience
to this delightful theatre. gademoiselle Rose Cheri is an
actress of very versatile powers—young, pretty, and an
artiste, in the best sense of the word ; and, popular as she is
in Paris, her popularity in London will quite equal it. She
appeared, first of all, in Scribe's one act petite comedie of
Genevieve, ou, La Jalousie Paternelle, in which she sustained
the part of Genevie6e, a young girl of seventeen, the only
daughter of Clerambourgh (admirably acted by M. Cartigny ),
a rich merchant of Marseilles, who is so devotedly at-
tached to his daughter that he is even jealous of her lover
and although seemingly desirous that she should marry,
yet he makes strenuous objections to every suitor whom he
thinks she loves. She loves Adrian (M. Ulric) her premiere
commis, but pretends to be perfectly indifferent towards him.
The consequence is, the father presses the match with
Adrian, and presses it the more vehemently because he will not
be in that case deprived of the society of his daughter on
her marriage. Of course, all three are eventually made happy.
This character was most artistically delineated by
Madlle. Rose Cheri. There was a great deal of naiveté in
her affected simplicity, and her professions of implicit
obedience to her father's will, while she was at the same time
bending her father to her own wishes; and she gave the
beautiful little touches of parental love—for she rea
thelly lovespart,
her father—which occur here and there throughout
•
with the most touching pathos. The applause was en

been frequently repeated during the present season
at the London theatres, under the title of the
Lioness of the North. The acting of Mademoiselle
Rose Cheri as Elizabeth was superb—it was de la
haute Comedze. in the very highest sense of the phrase. She
was admirably supported by Rhozevil, as Alexis, the young
captive who eventually subdues the heart of the Empress,
Dumery, as the red-tape minister of police, and Lemadre, as
the stiff old martinet of a major, the governor of the fortress
in which Alexis has been confined. Mademoiselle Heloise, as
Fedora, the Major's daughter, looked very well, and acted
very archly. The piece altogether was very strongly cast.

THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI.—The Green Bushes, a
new drama, written by Mr. Buckstone, for the Adelphi, London,
where it ran a whole seam, was produced here on Monday even-
ing, Madame Celeste taking her original part of Miami, the plot
being managed
expressly for the purpose of developing the peculiar
powers of this clever lady. Madame Celeste's Miami was, as might
be expected, graceful and impressive. Her fine figure and agile
movements suited the wild child of the woods ; and, availing herself
of studied situations, her every attitude was a beautiful picture. Her
imperfect English also suited the circumstances ; but we have long
been of opinion-that the play writers have totally mistaken her forte,
which is not melo-dramatic posturing, but deep passion and intense
feeling. lit Marie Ducange she exhibits powers, in the legitimate
drama, not to he equalled, except by Mrs. Kean and Miss Faucit.—
Liverpool Journal.
ADELPHI THEATRE ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.—Madame
Celeste, who looks young and is as fascinating as ever, has been
the pre,sidlag star during the past week. Her inimitable personation
of Miami, in the Green Bushes, was most exciting. The piece was
exceedingly well ga up, and placed upon the stage in a manner
highly creditableto the management, with appropriate scenery and
dresses.—Liverpool Journal and Chronicle.
Ricca ACTRESSES.—Mrs. Kean, Madlle. Taglioni,
Fanny Kemble, Fanny Elisler, Miss Stephens (now Dowager
Countess of Essex), Miss Sheriff, and many others, have accumulated
large fortunes by their profession. We believe the richest actress on
the stage at present is Madame Celeste, who, independent of pos-
sessing a handsome revenue, the produce of her past and present
exertions, has just taken possession (sifter much litigation) of hoer la. te
husband's property, which is said to amount to upwards of 10i:ran
