Holborn Theatre.

On Saturday evening a new and original three-
act drama, by Mr. Tom Taylor, entitled "
he
Antipodes, or the Ups and Downs of Life," was
produced at this theatre, and from the favour with
which it was received a long and successful career
is thereby insured for it. About the originality of
the play we need say but little, especially as in the
firstact:one of the leading incidents in the plot is made
to turn upon the hocussing of a Derby favourite,
an idea which Mr. Boucicault had previously
used up iu his very successful drama " Flying Scud.
Towards the conclusion of the play we bate
a dash of the drama " Never Too Late t°
Mend," namely, the discovery of the gold
nug-
gets in Australia, the consequent excitement
the
and the dangers and perils of 'placing
treasure in a place of safety. However,
without
being over particular as to the remaining incidents
of the play, a fair sensation drama has been produced,
and one which will maintain its name in " the bill"
for some months. Several new engagements have
been made for the piece, amongst which we notice
Mr. S. Emery, Mr. E. Price, and miss Ellen
Terry replace Mr. Belmore, Mr. G. Neville, and
Miss Josephs; but, in our judgment, nothing better
is accomplished by the alteration in the cenaPallY%-
The acting power is not strengthened, be
cause it would be absolutely unfair and untrue to
say the abilities of the seceders were not up to the
requirements of the new play. But dramatists
nowadays have a fancy for particular artistes sus-
taining certain parts in their new plays, and th,ll:
both manager and actor are, to an extent, witt
the power of a successful author, an arrangetnen
that sometimes wcrks very unfavourably in th,::
case of those who have not the good fortune te
the friend of either an author or critic, or both.
In brief, the plot of the new drama
as follows :—lt commences with a part;;i;
given in the grounds of Mrs. Murray SeY1110—;
situated on the banks of the Thames. Among th
company are Air. Murray Seymour, lately arrive d
from Australia, where he had amassed a tolerable
fortune ; Mr. Hugh De Rose, Captain Mewbrai
Darcus, General Sir Marmaduke Monthertner!
enera;
K.C.8., and the Hon. Sam Strangeways.
Monthermer is the owner of the favourite f?4:3
the Derby, which race is to be run on the
morrow. Sam Strangeways and Captain Pare.ti,
are making their books together, laying heavw
against the favourite. Darcus, unknown to Joe,
has bribed a poor tout, called Duck-fingered inTht
to get hold of the horse, and when settled to °le%
him at these grounds to square accounts. Pare,Ll
having hinted as much to Sam he immediatelY
makes it known to the general. Seymour Ileari%g
from Sam that two follows are' locked up

to be his illegitimate son, and suffers him to escaPe.
Seymour having heard from De Rose that his sPectl;
tious had all failed, expresses his determination
starting at once for Australia, much to the joy °
his daughter Madeline, and the curtain descends on
the first act.
Thl; next act is in Canvas-town, near Melbourne:,
where Moore (alias Seymour) and his wife keep
drinking booth. Joe has also found his way ner°,sio
the water, and is living with Moore, the eePtss
also being one of the party. Sam Strangeviqu'.
who was broken over the Derby, gets himself of
tua
gaged as groom to Joe, but finding what Bur
character he had to deal with, cuts him,tlnd
meeting Nelly (alias Madeline) is recognised' ,e'a,a

now appears and makes the discovery that Nell):rai
not Moore's daughter, but the daughter of Gene
Monthermer. Clinch, having come over to

the persons suspected of tampering with the i,r
Joe and the captain are obliged to make Drs un for
it. Sam then betakes himself to the digg'. ~,s.
In the last act Sam is discovered at the digginbon'
where he has the good fortune to hit up

several weighty nuggets, so thinks it time t°
off. The old general and his newly-found datitg'4_l

The detective secures Joe—vice is punished, vir;
rewarded, and of course the conclusion of the I°'
is the marriage of Sam and Nelly.
Mr. Emery sustained the part of Joe with
ill
usual vigour, Mr. Price made a good " swell,"
Miss Terry was as interesting as could be well as-
sired. Miss C. Saunders has changed from a jeeVilo
to a tiger, and Mr. Vollair maintains a smack of

The house was crowded, and the loud and grye
applause at the conclusion of the drama was
ratification of its great and complete success'
