PARK THEATRE.-Mr. Forrest appeared to full house
last evening in Hamlet-Mrs Hunt playing ophela, and
Mr. Dyott Laertes We judged from Mr. Forests voice,
that he laboring under cold, and therefore could
not act with his accustomed energy. However saw
enough to impress with the conviction that Hamlet is
a part in which Mr.. Forrest will excel Indeed
do not think him fitted either by nature by study
to sustain the part of Hamlet. 1t is not in his line
mans sensbflies must be tuned by nature to Ham,
let-and that subtle sensbity-hat plancy of thought
and gesture and information and features which must be
tempered to the elasticity and the of fine Da
mascus blade, to bend to every phase Of that most
chargeable and eccentric Of shaksgeares characters
the story told in the "Tslisman of the different qualities
of the swords of Richard and of Ssladin The by
its ponderous size and stout edge welded by the brawny
Of Richard could divide bar Of iron the other, by
intense sharpness Of edge and directed by the dexter
pieces piece of Persian silk floating on the air. Such
is the difference between Mr.. Forests intellect and
such could master this most difficult conception
of Shakespeare The intellect of Mr. Forrest is too pom
derous and unwiedy and be does not possess sufficient
:ubtlety versatility or plisncy Of features gestures or
fine piece acting Basis Polonius almost faultess
tits scarcely necessary to say that Fishers Gravedgger
was excellent; Mrs Abbott's Queen was remarkably
we'll played Tonight, Mr. Forrest appears Macbeth,
Mrs. Hunt playing Lady Macbeth, and MIR. Dyott,
Macdun.
BowERr THEArRE.-The play Of Loves Sacrifice"
and the farce of Petticoat Government" per-
formed at this theatre last evening very large and
fashionable audience. Miss Deans Margaret Gilmore
was fine piece of acting; audit apparent that she
understood the character thoroughly Fir. Neafe per-
formed his part in his usual good manner In fact this
gentleman possessed of great amount Of talent which
he exercises most judciously He gives effect to all
the points in true artistical way Mr. Clarke played
as well as on any former occasion. Mr Adams success
Black Eyed Sussn will form the after piece 1t is to
be hoped that the worthy manager Of this establishment
will be sufficiently remunerated for the expense he has
put himself in procuring the services Of two such
emire emit and talented performers Mr. Adams and Miss
Dean With these and Neafe, Clarke, Booth. &c Sc,
n
fail OF being performed in the first style At present
os o czens We look for the fullest house
the season tonight
GREKrwicH-The performances at this popular thea
tire this evening, with the burlesque of Bonn
bastes Furioso in which Messrs Caldwell Montague and
Ryder, and Miss Julia Drake appear This is TO be
ceeded by the drema Of the Evil Eye in which Messrs
Drummond Caldwell and Chapman, and Miss Craa ford
appear The burotta of the College Boy" and the
extravaganza of the Savage and the Maiden" will wind
up the performances Ihere VIII DC besides singing ana
dancing.
CASTLE GARDES.-The Ethiopian singers give their
peculiar and popular melodies this evening, and those
who want to laugh away dull care should visit the saloon
The entertainments Of the most attractive character
The Ethopans sing eighteen songs and chorusses. Mr.
Goodwin appears in two dances and the performances
close with exhibition of dissolvng views and Chinese
and those who happen to be troubled with the blue
Devils" should visit the saloon get rid Of them There
|
Ethiopans, half hours intermission for promenade
and for viewing the Cosmoramas, which, by the way
well worth seeing.
| NIBLo's GAnprS--We do not often have opportu.
nifty enjoy the luxury Of visit to this splendid ess
bhment, but the public do, and that shows that good
taste reigns triumphant The Merry Wives of Wind
sor" was elegantly produced Tuesday evening, and
Billy Shakespeare himself would have tired his ribs in
laughing at his own conceits. By the way, Master
Slender" looked very fat unusually savage withal
Had he have been specially appointed doorkeeper for
bad beneftn he could not have tangled out OF
tune. Somewhat" must have been wrong Amiabili-
ty was at discount but the play trumphed, and the
audience were delighted.
BowERY CiRcus.--A highly respectable audience were
present last evening, to witness the athletic perform
snces of the Acrobat Family. This attraction together
with the equestrian performances and negro extrava-
ganzas render the amphitheare delightful resort for
those who admire herculean feats, w.t. fun AMI music
! To those whose minds require exhlaraton, we advise a
visit to a location of rational amusement, such as is
every night presented by the proprietor at the Bowery
| Circus w. o. Dale, the distinguished equestrian who
received with such applause in England for his So
merset feats, will also shortly appear.
