ADELPHI THEATRE.

---
Madame Celeste has returned, and made her rod, ee
here last evening, in Boyle Bernard's most interesting
drama of Mat is Ducange. Taken as a whole this is,
perhaps, Celeste's greatest character, and never did she
act it with greater power and pathos than she did last
evening. It is a character of contrasts, of brilliant lights
and of deep shades, and in the delineation of these
Rembrandtesque characters, if we may be allowed the
expre,sion, Celeste exce's any actress that ever trod the
boards. From the moment of her appearance sbe'creates
an interest which increases in intensity in every
scene, until, at last, it becomes absolutely painful,
and he drama ends, as very few modern dramas
do end, in a climax. The last scene, in which the
poor insane Merle recovers her senses and is restored to

her friends and her husband, is, as given by Celeste, the
chef d'ccurre of melodramatic acting. In this scene she
shows herself a true poetess, and elevates melodrama
to the rank of legitimate tragedy. She was enthusias-
tically applauded throughout, and was called for at the
falling of the curtain. The house was crammed to suf-
focation within ten minutes after the door was opened.

pianoforte, Mr. L. Silderberg was the violinist, and the

the guitar. Mr. J. Catkin gave, for the first time,,, a
amiothst beautiful
