QUA AcrREssEs.--Those of our citizens who
have attended the Peoples Theatre could hardly
have helped noticing the constant though quiet ef-
forts of the actresses composing the stock TO make
the play pass on smoothly and sgrecaby to the
public and We fear that they have been for
gotten In the Iaudations which are showered down
upon the star Of the evening, who deserved as
much and no more than did these worthy helpers.
Misses @. Howard, and j. Tyson, as they are
announced on the bills, are two Of the most prom
Using young actresses we have ever seen. The hat
ter, though but novice, is very proficient in the
business intrusted to her, and though she hardly
possesses the points OF an actress who Is to be
great she certainly has it within her power 10 be-
como pleasing and popular acquisition 10 amy
company. There is in her acting an apparent con-
Hc0usness of her inability, which we ght to
see, which promises much for the future, and is
peoally noticeable now-a-days, when bold cffront-
cry and assurance are natural or assumed by those
very much her interiors She has made many
friends in this city.
How shall we describe Miss Howard Perfectly
an fait in everything she undertakes, low or high
comedy, burlesquc, are.all so nimitably performed
that we scarcely know what line" to class her
in. She makes the most charming chambermaid
and jealous little wife in good society," toolooks
the country hostess for all the world, and nearly
breaks the hearts of some by her gay Widow
Ormsby Delmane. And what capital Lady Gay
Spanker she might be We would really like to
see her In the Jealous Wife as Mrs. Oakly if she
would only attempt 1t.
The only drawback is that her voice has not
yet obtained that fullness which it will in time
and we would suggest to her that study of some
good work upon vocal culture will benefit her,
while few lessons from an adept in the profession
would impart polish to her style, by which she
would be gamer.
Miss Howard is a most admirable dresser her
taste being the very best, and invariably correct
Her demeanor is very modest and unobtrusive, and
her virtues, VIC believe once melted the heart of
Harry Eytnge, capital actor, and lately stage
manager for Wizards Metropolitan, New York |;
but the match was broken Off Suffice it to say,
that her youth, grace, and vvacity, together with
her efforts to perform acceptable whatever charac-
ter she may be up for, will render her an uniyer-
sal iavorite in any theatre, and under any crcum-
stances.
We have headed this article sour Actresses
because they have commenced their novicate here,
and as our Washington people appear to have
taken liking to them, will probably adopt them
as representatives of the Metropolis in the hstr
onic line and we also desire to call the attention
of those who have neglected to notice the merto-
rous and deserving stock ARTISTS, in their over
whelming applause for the principal card of the
evening, that quite as much depends upon the f.
deity Of the inferior parts as upon the primary
characters. et Asf
sWANrED--A WIFE.n-An advertisement under
this head appeared in the Baltimore Sun, few
DAYS ago. and was answered under fictitious female
name, in feminine handwriting, by young gentle
man in Georgetown, stating the supposed circum-
stances and Accomplishments of an imaginary fe-
male, who was DESTROYS Of entering the holy bonds
Z Of matrimony. ata S43
A correspondence ensued and the advertiser
sent his daguerrotype likeness to his apparent fe-
male correspondent and desired TO know when
ana where an interview might be had which was
answered by stating her residence to be at a GER
tain number Bridge street, which is unoccupied,
and inviting him to the place. This letter was sent
some days ago, and II is no more than probable,
that the simpeton is by this time aware of the
trick which has been played upon him. His like
ness is circulating through Georgetown very ex-
tensively, and is picture of rather good looking
man.
