THEATRICAL.

novel in the dramatic line. There we're some re-
vivsls fairly done. and tolerably Successful. Tn:s
week We observe there some things promised.
At the BROADWAY, the fine spectacle and opera Of
cinderella has kept the house decsey full, and
promises to do for month, unless sooner with
drawn. II will be repeated every nigst this week.
The actors have greatly improved ty practice,
the chorus is efficient and but one thing detrscts
from the otherwise highly comnendable performance
and that is the chronic dizziness of Mr.. Harrison,
especially in speaking parts. If he would manage to
show come vivaeity, some life, some attempt at least
to suit the action to the word, he would materially
in prove the piece and add infinitely to the delight Of
the audience. II is really provoking, in g passage
where quick, action, and face lighted up
with pleasant surprise the proper adunsts OF the
text to zee hin stand quiet and speak in delibe-
rate measured monotone, az utterly out of place as
the stilltst silence itsef. We opne that Mr.. II. is
not so great az singer that he afford to dispense
with the humber duties of the actor and for his own
sake as well ss for the sake of the audience, we sug
gest the mendment.

At the METRoPoLIrAs, we have Sands & Co.'S Cir
cuts for smother week. The Circus with its wonder
full tricks its highly trained horses comical clowns,
It's tests often reprehensbly coarse Its sawdust and
tDse may very well in its plsse, but to put 1t
into such magnificent hone as the Metropolitan Is a
little too bad The one-horse policy Of the managers
who opered this house damaged it greatly, but their
taking in of an entire Circus has fear done for it
completely. u is an arrangement not set down in the
eternal fitness Of thrgs.'
