THE LYCEUM THEATRE.

Mr. Fechter last evening again opened this
theatre for the season, reviving at the same time the
old, though ever-attractive, play of the ci Lady of
Lyons." Though produced nearly thirty years ago,
its popularity seems still undiminished, and large
audiences still assemble to see it. Last evening this
enthusiasm was enhanced by the fact that it had
been announced that Mr. Fechter would take the
part of Claude Melnotte. Some slight alterations
had been made in placing the play upon the stage,
but these were trivial, and the chief desire on the
part of the audience was to ascertain how Dlr.
Fechter would delineate a character which he 35-
smiled for the first time, and which there was
every reason to believe he was admirably adapted
to sustain. Nor were these anticipations unrealised,
for Mr Fechter's rendering of the character was
complete success. His reading was " realistic.
He endeavoured to be as natural in the character as
the language of the author would permit, and as
free from the customary staginess as possible. 13f
adopting this style he gained a great advantage in
the more rapid and melodramatic parts of the drams"
In the fourth act, where his wife is torn from him
after her pride leaves her, and is replaced by love
for Claude, he rises to his utmost height, and dis-
plays his passion with great spirit and pathos, but
with the slightest of ranting. In this see"
also Miss Carlotta Leclercq, who played Pauline,
was very effective, and both performers were en-
thusiastically applauded by the audience. In the
last act Mr. Fechter exhibited a very choice mode
of acting, when Claude tears the documents and
rushes into Pauline's arms. This brought the plaid
to the highly successful conclusion, and a crowded
and distinguished company left the theatre a little
before 12 o'clock.
