No THOROCCIFIFARE."—CharIes Dickens's drama
'No Thoroughfare," under the French title of" L'Abime,'s
in five acts, had a tremendous success on Wednesday night; •
:At the Vaudeville, where the great writer was as enthu,
siastically applauded as he ever was in London Or at Neat
York. The mise-en-scene was admirable, and Mdlle.
Collier's beauty and talent contributed not a little to the
triumph of the evening. The part played by Fechter it
London was acted on the 3d by Berton. Fechter, who is
now in Paris himself, superintended the rehearsals. The
house was tremendously crowded, and a number of Esg
lish were present.
