Logan personated Eirra in Kotzebuss tragedy Of Pr
sarro - but not think with the same success which
has marked many Of her other delineations II
that her conceptions Of the character incorrect but
that she once or twice introduced style not in harmony
with the general outlines. Elrra Of the
whose deep feelings. like the Of a deep river flow
calmly and evenly and at their height not moved
TO the foam and fury oflesser She woman
with nothing boisterous deelsmatory sbont her e
woman whose passions svnced Themselves in deeds not
words; who argued calmly and who calmly though
1t might b the calmness Of desperation There was
therefore particular mpropriety ascribing to her
manscal rage in the last in which she appears She
might be angry-undoubtedly was but sbe could not
have been shaken by such feeling s the product
an unexpected and undoservsd doom forestaling her
plans Of vengeance Her parting with Psarro should
have exhibited strong deep pas,sn but in order to
be deepest and most effective it should been calm
and not noisy.
Mr. Naddocks improved very materially in seme re-
specs upon the part Of P-aro from his former
tson He ruled his tongue with greater severity and
left much Of the extravaganza style Of enunciaton
hind the scenes His delivery in fact very good
he stradded around after the Dinorns manner Of
progression before and knitted his brows like man in
the last stages of cholie.
Mr. Janison played RORa exceedingly well and very
truthfuly-not only acting but looking the character
The address to the army was not given effectively
before, although it finely pronounced Mr. Mark
Smiths Orozeabo also well performed It Is promi-
nent part and demands much care as some others
which are more lengthy though not more impressive
The tragedy was followed by Tobin's comedy Of the
Honey Moon,n which well cast we'll played and re.
0eved with great applause There very comedies
upon the stage received with general and sp
probation than this one Of the Honey Moon ~ but if we
may be pardoned the the expression of opinion that
seems to US possessed Of some foundation it is ent
tied to all the appreciation which it has received The
fact of its success does not establish its artistic merit
cause Jack Sheppard" and The Drunkard have en-
oyed still greater The fact that it has been
lavishy praised and commended does not confirm its
excellence because the Sorrows of werter and Uncle
Tom" and the dramas flowing from it have been extra
vsganty auded also and by journals and writers whose
opinions orthodox.
We do not complain that the 9 Honey Moon Ia un-
natura-although it is markedly sofor the that
play or poem like the Fairy Queen the Tempest
may be untrue to nature and yet ariseay
they are true 10 emseesiu harmony with the supposed
condition of things upon which they based whereas
the Honey Moon - is untrue to its plot as well as
untrue to nature and to daily life 1t describes woman
proud and high spirited to fast excessively yan and
ambitious marrying for the sake OF station alone 1t
then describes her deceived cozzsned the most
absolute manner and without the slightest justification
so far as her own knowledge is concerned She is
She condemns the baseness Of her husband
and threatened for her She
and Is locked up for her roube She is stripped of her
fnery she is despoled Of her She tutored
leetured locked up and Threatened She the most high
spirited OF women in her imagination and by the
promise Of her love duchess and cynosure Of all eyes
is converted into dull domestic drudge made to come
and 60 at his beck and bidding to fetch and carry like
whipped spaniel and when dsobedient and refractory is
ed hv n
Aud this course of treatment is by fiction the drama
tst made the parent Of such affection and consuming
love as Dido never felt for Eeas Helose for q5eard
We know it for an axiom that Glove produces love" but
have yet to learn that love grows of hate or is
aged by abuse and it most evidently hate that Judi
ana felt for 4ran-d and most positive abuse that reclaimed
her.
The story of "Pstruchio and Katarine has nothing
in its composition that will defence for the
Honey Moon' and it certainly needs an authority as
orthodox and reverenta Shakespeare to vndicate it,
Ths character of Roando is another transparent asy
although not so much of Jiia.a But despite
its fault the comedy popular and attractive and always
will be while well played that evening The cast
was exceedingly good and the entered into
Mr. Davis and Mr. Nage deserve particular credit
for the merit of their We have rarely
either Of them appear to better advantage Mr. DsBars
Mock Duke was very rich and humorous thing, and in
the parts of poan and Tdaora Mrs Bernard and Davis
made an exceedingly favorable impression
The audience on Saturday evening not large as
usual but respectable in point of numbers
The swelling and somewhat inflated old play Damon
and Pythias performed last evening with the mimi
tably classic, moral and vrtuous little dramatic gem
called Jack sheppard for the benefit of Mr. Nagle
The house was led-the second and third tiers partcu
arly-wh audience that enthusiastically cheered
the grand parts Of the play and the interesting scenes
OF the aterpece Owing to the serious ndspostion
of Mrs Potter Mrs Booth took hsr place Csianhe with
Mrs Dufield He'mon. Mr. Jamison personated Damon
and Mr. Nage Pphids At the close of the piece Mr. Ja
mison and Mr. Nsgle called before the curtain and
the latter gentleman in few very sentences returned
thanks to the audience for their and spproba
ton.
The Lady of Lyons" production somewhat more
modern than Damon and Pythias," if more excel
lent and somewhat more moral than Jack Sheppard
if not more attractive, will be played this evening
DAN RrcEs AMrHrrHrarRE.-This new place Of amuse-
ment opened to the public Saturday evening and
was filled by one of the most crowded asemblages in
which it was ever fortune to be squeezed 1t is ad
miraby adapted to the purposes for which is intended
and will doubtless draw great many who would sI
pose themselves under The performances
evening very able and attractive and some of the
ess of equestranism exhibited really astonishing
The company is good one aud well trained. We shall
be disappointed If it does not with marked success
The performances Sunday evening closed nearly as
well on the evening previous.
