PARK THEArRE.-Nir Anderson appeared last evening
as Charles de Moor in schers play of 1.-THE Robbers
character which admits Of the display of Of sir
Andersons peculiar merits but which think, the
whole, unworthy OF him In word, this play, although
full Of incident and remarkable for many passages
great beauty does not please 1t has great mber
of faults II il too melodramac the dialogue is te
diousy long and there too many scenes of harrow
ing intensity to leave any but unpleasant impression
on the minds of the audience. The author was entirely
unacquaned with stage business for he leaves nothing
to be inferred, and there is, throughout wearisome
prolxty OF German sentimentaity The chief part Is
the hands OF De Moor to raise him in the scale of rob
bers There also many discrepancies in the sketch
OF this outlaw For instance, he banishes man from
the band for numbering child and yet he confesses
himself TO several murders but there are many pas
sages occurring in the part characterized by that
eoquence that Mr.. Anderson so capable OF
giving effect and the in which he devoes his
brother to DEATH is sublime in its intensity Of hsrror
We believe that the part OF De Moor was played last
night as other actor the boards play it, and
yet was unworthy of MIR Andersons powers The part
of Francis do Moor made the most of in the hands of
Mr. Dyot II of the best parts in the play, and
rendered by Mr. Dyot really very respectable The
part OF Amelia is tissue of senme The other
of Count de Moor which Barry gave great effect
The Lady OF Lyons" is again to be presented this eve
ming Though not stamped with the same intellectual
character Bulwers other plays and marked with the
faults it has proved the stage the most popular
and attractive of them all No modern play has been
more SO The high spirited, mpas stoned and aspiring
Claude morally degraded for time by act Of decep
ton and of fraud yet redeeming his character by his
native virtues The lovely Pauline-the proud and
naughty beauty, admired, battered and caresscd and
with her moral nature spoiled by aduation becoming
by tho influence Of mighty passion subdued and gentle
tender and devoted, all consistency and all feeling love
and disappointment penng into rich harvest the latent
constitute the great charm and interest of the play The
scenes possess touching Interestingly pouray in Ian
guage natural and expressive the hearts dearest afec
tons its springs are opened and its fountains OF feeling
gush forth The first stages Of growing passion the
fervor and the depth of its maturity its bouDtul devc
ton AMI constsncy its remorse its pangs its trials its
joys and its rewards all find their way o.the heart, and
delight the audience. We have before expressed our
opinion OF Slr Andersons acting II is marked by great
excelleDcies and some faults its great charm is its
freshness, its impulsveness He carries the feelings
along with him. We do stop to criticise or admire
only listen to feel and have presented before the
reality which his genius has invested with life and
truth He is admirably adapted to produce effect in the
character of Claude Melnoe. His love have all
the warmth OF passion His looks his tones his acting
are carnations from the SOUL and with all this ardor
to your teengyou feel that he In earnest and that
his is an appeal to woman's heart not easily resisted
this is SO conrased with the love the stage generally
it being tame and spiress artificial and without soul
In this character add in that of Charles in the Elder
Brother" Mr.. Anderson has deservedly high rep
uation, and as stamped these two characters
his The latter piece is udicious ate ration from
Beaumont and Fletcher, and was played by Mr.. Ander
son last week with great sfectit very spirited
performance throughout and listened by the audience
with intense interest 1t displayed the excelencies of
acting above suggested Actors generally perform if
they thought the stage required an actor be yond that of
real life-that certain exaggeraton was required to
produce efectwhereas i. designed to be but repre-
sentaon Of LIES real and characters and they
to appear and act like the creatures of the world around
In this respect Mr. Anderson is in these characters
entirely successul-they are pictured with warm and
fresh cooring full of nature feeling chaste and real
We have not to enter into discussion Of the merits
passing nor to anaiy the acting as to his higher
ers in the drama, Of Mr.. Anderson to institute
parison with other actors Suffice to saw for the pres
ent that these two parts in his hands evidently
chaste, spirited, effective, and true to nature
BowERY THEArnE.-shakspeare's tragedy of "Ham.
let," will be repeated this evening Mr. Adams, Of
course, taking the principal part Mr. Addams in his
personation of this difficult character proves that he
derands nicely the conception of the immortal bard
and carries it out with air of truthfuness and reality
peculiarly his own. We have Mr.. Adams in all
his principal tragic characters and agree with tie
majority h his in ranking
ma, maintains its popularity and attractveness,
and will, no doubt draw for many nights to come.
The house last evening full the mana
ger could DESIRE and the immense audience seemed de-
lighted with the performances
