OF Juliet in which part she was very successful indeed
The other entertainments passed of well: and all
were pleased with the evenings amusements. To
morrow his theatre will present to its patrons the
greatest attraction that has been offered for the
edifcation and amusement Of the play going folk Of
that district The play announced Is that Of Macbeth
which will be produced with the strongest cast of cha
racters. MIR Hamblin, the Oldest theatrical manager
in this city, and whose hisronc powers have always
been held in the highest estimation will sustain the
part Of Macbeth Mr. Ryder, the associate actor Of
Macready while performing in this country and whose
tragedian is too well known to require any
euogy from us will personate the part of Macdu and
Mrs Shaw decidedly tho best tragic actress in this
country, and question much II there be better any
where win play the heavy but important character of
traction Mr. Hambn has engaged Mr. II. Ryan, the
celebrated Irish comedian and vocalist, lately arrived
from London who will make his first appearance in the
character of Doctor OToole The boxes will be fifty
cents and the second tier twenty-five cents To our
mind considering this great effort OF the manager not
to be behind any establishment in this city in attrac
tive features, persuaded the Bowery Theatre,
tomorrow evening will present the most brilliant
sembage ever congregated within it's walls in order
show Mr. Hambln that discerning public duly appre-
ciate his efforts refine the taste and movements of
the theatrical world by the introduction of the leg
mate drama.
BRoApwAY TmrArnE.-Last night Mr.. Forrest played
the famous and trying part Of Richard the Third
This is with Justice regarded the most difficult Of
all Shakspeares characters and the test of actors
talent. OF the performance, as witnessed it last
night would say that though MIR Forrest is beyond
doubt, man of great talent, yet he is not great
Richard. Though there are in his performance of
Richard occasional bursts which bring down the house.
and certainly exhibit astonishing power and energy,
yet upon the whole there seemed to to be lacking
in MIR Forrest on this OCCASION careful study and
reading Of the part There was every now and then
burst of vehement passion admirably given yet these
bursts seemed to be too much prepared and waited or
to be too uniform when they occurred and to be saved
and boarded up, as it were, to bring out the telling
parts, while all the rest of the character was played
carelessly and negligenty. We make these remarks
N WI la We nd i'm
beyond all other actors but meant thereby that
he was beyond Improvement. Nor do we mean to say,
by these remarks, that Mr.. Forests Richard is not
great performance for to it played well
by any ordinary actor should say it excellent;
but expect great deal more from MIR. Forrest. -
Mrs Abbott deserves favorable mention for her able
performance of Queen Elizabeth. 1t beautiful
representation and by beautiful woman Mrs Dyott,
as Duchess OF York. drew down loud applause for her
enactment of the railing scene. Here Mr. Forrest
great though thought, above, that he was even
here hurried and furried and in much too great
haste to make of his sudden, striking, dashing,
roaring ebulitons. MIR. Moorhouse Buckingham
and Mr. Dyott as Richmond, both deserve great com
mendaton. Altogether, Richard the Third, per-
formed at the Broadway last night was great treat,
and hope it will be repeated next week when
happy to learn Mr. Forrest will appear each evening in
some of his great characters; in any Of which
he is great except in that miserable abortion of play
the poor, wretched Broker of Bogota.
NIBLos THEATRE, AsToR PLAcE.-To-morrow eve
ming the lovers of the legitimate drama will be pleased
to learn this beautiful theatre will open with Shaks
peares tragedy of Macbeth" Mr.. Macready the
great tagedian will sustain the character of the noble
Thane, and Mrs. Colman Pope that of Lady Macbeth
Mr.. c. w Clarke actor of considerable celebrity,
and great fayorite will personatc the character of
WSmyss, good actor All the other characters by
excellent stock company, among whom may mention
the names of A. Andrews, as Hecate and Messrs Chip
pendalc and Seton the principal witches This in
deed will be rich treat and we have little doubt but
that the theatre at carly hour will be filled in every
department Captain Nibo knows how to cater well
a ri ca
manager proves and hence arises the high opinion
terained by our citizens in regard to his managerial
abilities.
