artists play part most admirably The Stranger
was in the hands Of Hambn, most spenddly perform
and the vehement cheering and repeated outburss
Of applause, which bestowed his acting were
we'll merted. Mrs. Shaw, as the unfortunate Mrs.
Hailer by admirable elocution appropriate acting
and Hne defamation was really great; and never ha We
this part more perfectly filled. Mr. Ryder
played the Baron with his usual good taste he looked
the soldier WELL and his scenes both with the Stranger
and Mrs. Haller admirably performed. In this
play it is not much the .acting in any of the

BRoApwAY THEArRE.-At an early hour last evening,
this beautiful and spacious theatre filled in almost
every department to witness the performance the
