IV.ALLACK'S THEATER.

A clever little petite comedy, translated from the
French by William Robertson bearing the title
THE Diary OF Young Wife" was played last even
ing, for the first time in this country, at Wsllacks
This is one of those light amusing pieces, savoring OF
gentty and TIE psror and destitute OF low CON dy
incidents or farcica exeggeration, but Astounding in
witty dialogue and lively acton-one of those pretty
ephemersl productions in the construction of which
the French play.writers excel.
Two romantic schoolgirls bave mutually agreed to
keep record, which they propose to transmit 10
each other of the realities of the married state that
trey may see how far their en'e-nupal ancipatlons
ere realized. One Of them, Mathilde, Mis-, Rosa
Bennett is welded TO Mr.. DumOntel, merchant.
Mr.. Lester and the other TO Mr. Dehgny, MI.
Stewart.) Damantel being of suspicious turn
of mind, unlocks his wife's private drawer dis
covers the diary, and resds it in an incom-
ple,e state. Meanwhile, Delgny comes to vlsi.

her frefd deposits II in the private drawer and des-
ps,cLes her own In return. Delgny perceiylDg this
ast m.sive in the hst de Of the servant s way to
the poet interc, pts IT, and Dumonte going to have
another cok at the Diary in the private drawer, dls
covers that of his wife friend instead. Matters come
to a climax Each husband hiss thus obtained pos
session of the private journal fthe wife of the other
A lavebable scene follows, in which each reads his
manuscript to the other and Deligny discovers that
while he is away from home making love to the vile
of another maD his wife at home receiving the
addresses OF cousin Charles. He starts for home in
cit Of furious jealousy, the love Of the other pair is
cenented more closely than ever, and the curtain
goes down upon perfect paradise OF matrimonial
happiness.
The piece Is ceverly written, aud, although the
plot is very slight it is sufficient TO string together
seouence of amusing scenes, and some sho8y dia-
loeue. 1t will undoubtedly appear in future to much
better advantage than it did last evening. Mr.. Les
ter and Mr.. Stewart both halted wofuy in their parts,
showing thereby that the text had been but csrelessy
studied. The fact that about onehal the play Is read
from the Dines must have been source Of great
cancellation TO them. Although the audience see ned
70 be cop,en: with last evenings representation it
was certainly too aulty in this one respect to de-
serve CON n endation.
