WALLACK' 5 THEATFR.-The managers OF this house
on Monday night presented the play of London As
s,uance under circumstances which made 1t more than
ordinarily noticeable The distribution Of all the char
acters was excellent; and with this general commenda-
ton We dismiss those of the company with whose per-
sonations of the various peons of this piece the pubic
are already acquainted 10 give few words of special
notice to thoee who appeared in ii for the first time
Mr. Blake has too often played Mark NEEDLE and Mr..
Lester, Charles County, NOT to be thoroughly kao"n
and appreciated.
The author of the Comedy, Mr.. Dion Bourcicau!t
plays Dazzle in a manner to provoke comparisons
very unfavorablc to himself. 1t is but fair to suppose
that dramatist has toerably correct idea OF the
character he means to draw but the fact here de-
monstrat.d that man who can write an excellent
play may when no attempts TO perform 1t IN person.
prove himself singularly Inefficient rs an actor Mr..
Bourccaults Dazzle not only lacks that fascinating
bnliaDcy with which it is invested by the elder
Wallack and by John Brougham, but is so ungenial
and smieless that We cannot nd ourselves OF the i'm
preston that il is a second edition Of the Phantom,
Gervase lockwood, with another wig and new pair
of whskers.
The easy, dashirg impudence which are Dszze's
sole stock in trade sro not present in Mr.. Boupcsults
pesonation, and the gres, wonder how uninereSt
ing personage can 50 long successfully impose upon
his ood-natured acquainances, Charles Courtly and
Max Harkaway. II is almost too much to assert that
the writer Of the play does not know what kind Of a
man be intended Dazzle to be; but it is not too much
10 say that many another actor renders him much
mo- fascinating parsonage than the gim individual he
Is when PLAYED BY the author. Mr.. Charles Walcot
plays Sir Hsrcour County in truly admirable man
ncr The little points ar. finely brought ut, especially
the contrast between the unmpsssioned manner OF his
dealing with the rudcr sex. and the howery, bonn
bastic compliments with which he overwhelms the
ladies' His dreee and makeup are excellent the
real cd age being constantly percepbe through the
assumed juyeniLty; the artificial youthfuness deeeiv
ing no one but himself- being to every else per-
fectly evident that in spite of his rouge he is only
yhalized human fcosa Of past age, in remarkably
gvcd state Of preservation
Mr. G.. Stuart, as Cool is the true Enghsh valet to
the life; quiet, smooth, sepossessed and unobsr.'ve
il is capital little bit Of character snd in this instance
IS excellenuy rendered
The Max Hathaway and Dolly Spanker Of Mr. Bur
nett and Mr.. Peters are up to the standard.
Mn. Hocy. who is the Lady Coy Spsnker, u efec-
tive and makes thai exceedingly disagreesble and TO-
prlsive woman ~ acceptable she ever il. A slight
tendency to o,eract viii be toned down she becomes
accustomed TO tie part
Miss A,ues Robertso0 az Graoe Hsrkawsy, Is very
charming, and make the character unusually potics-
able ard intetesting.
The comedy is received with gres, deal OF favor
which i. vel deserves
