THEATRICALs-ARRlvAL OF Mr.. MAoREADY.-
The arrival OF Mr.. Macready, the great English
tragedian, seems to have created as much excite
ment, in certain circles, and IN the fashionable
| world, as If 1t had been the landing of Louis
Philippe, Louis Blanc, or Prince Louis Napole on
MIR. Macready is prince In theatrcals-he be-
longs to the legitimate dynasty in England
During the last few years, sort of revolution has
taken place in theatrical lfe the proud monarch of
the buskln has been deposed, and now comes, self
banished, to this land of freedom and fine pudding
Mr. Macready Is, no doubt, great man; but
whether he is as great as he himself thinks he is,
or is of larger and more Intellectual dimensions
than Mr. Forrest, remains to be seen, in the cam
palgn of the next six months.
The commotion made among theatrical mana
gers, to capture Macready, has been quite
amusing and interesting. The great managers of
this metropolis are undoubtedly HambIIn, Mann
and Nblo. They the potentates of the stage
in this region. Each Of them, we believe, has
been busy in endeavoring to procure an engage
ment with Mr.. Macready for the theatre under
his control-but Niblo, the well known and Inde-
fatgable Nlblo comes out the Napoleon of the
managers in this contest, at last. How this vic
tory has been secured by Niblo, is more than we
eau teH, Dut Ho uouDl he accomplished his pur-
pose by the exercise of his unnvalled genius and
great tact for managing men and theatres. The
appearance of Macresdy at the Astor Place Thea
tire, will produce great sensation in the upper
part of the city, and raise the reputation of that
establishment far higher than what was conferred
on it by the harmony and dlscord of the Italian
opera last winter The opening of Shakspe ran
characters in the Astor Place Theatre will create
great Juror in that part of the city, particularly
as the town is now crowded with strangers from
all parts OF the country. A new flood OF criticism
will be let loose on the country at once. For
rests great success at the Broadway Theatre mas
brought out some critical inquiries to investigate
the pecuaritles of his style, and the eccentrlcities
OF his school. Macready, with much talent and
genius In his profession has also his eccentrcitles
and northumberland those little points that can
be made the point OF Infinite wit and ridicule, will.
undoubtedly, be well examined and commented
upon, for certain, before his engagement is con.
cluded. Mr.. Forrest has many friends. ardent
burning friends, in this region, and they will not
permit Macready to pass through his approaching
engagement, without most searching criticism
on his style and mode of dealing with Sbaks.
peare We expect great deal of amusement and
interest in theatrical matters for the next month
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1848-10-02

sing character are already aAoat, in al quarters,
concerning the new operate trospe organized I'M
der the auspices, and managed by the sublime
genius, Of Mr.. Fry. If the musical campaign Of
those artists commences n this style, It v-ry
probable that il will end as II did last year-not
much 10 the credit of the managers, in any way in
which II can be contemplated. Some of the ru-
mols recently given out, appear to be more dis
credltable to the artists than to the manager. On
inquiry find there is very little truth in those
representations. TIE attempt to lmpute trouble
some disposition to Truffi, is, we learn, without
the slightest foundation. Indeed, it would appea ar
that If any trouble has broken out among the troupe,
it has principally originated in the lncompetency
of the manager, who is new in his position, and
who cannot be expected to understand the mate
rails which he has undertaken TO manage. Mr..
Fry, who has undertaken the management of this
new company, has very little knowledge of Italian
or OF artists, beyond that Of mere spectator, who
sits in the pit, enjoys the muslc and crcises the
talents OF the respective performers 1t is said
however, that he Is merely an agent OF some par
Ties behind the curtain, who advanced money for
the purpose o! organizing the troupe and that the
whole thing is but speculation the investment of
capital. In the same way Wall street broker
speculates stocks. If this be the case 1t is very
probable that the value of the company and all
sense OF proprIety may be sacrificed to the simple
purpose of graspng after little money, IN order
to make dividend.
We are sorry to hear these things SAID of the new
troupe, but we much fear that there is good deal
of iOundaton for those rumors. The attempt made
last year in this line, ended in an abortion from
similar causes There were nomn al rnan,0aro
and committee men In the back ground, who
managed everything, without rule or order, and
all the mlsmanagement OF whom, the ostensible
managers had to shoulder and be responsible for.
The CO lsequence was, that Sanquirico and Patti
became the scapegoats of clique of would be
managers in dark room behind the curtain, who
knew nothing about artists or art. If Mr. FRY
merely takes the place OF Sanquirco and Patti,
and is under the secret influence of those who
have advanced the funds, we much afraid that
a similar result will take place before the termi-
nation OF the approaching season. 1t is GER
tain that during the last rehearsal great deal
of bad feeling was developed, compounded In equal
quantities with music and harmony. We hope
however, that little prudence and good sense in
all quarters, will prevent the enterprise from falling
to the ground before the regular termination of
the season.
We unde rstand that "Norma :" is now in re-
hearsal, and will be first brought out in Phlla-
delphIa during the engagement of Mr.. Macready
at the Astor Place Theatre. At the termination
of this gentleman's engagement, 1t is probable we
shall have this troupe in New York, and then we
sh all be able see and appreciate the probabilities
of the campaign.
