better than ever before.
Mr.. Boniface did much better last night than we
| have ever before seen him. Mr.. Adams also. did
very well. He gives evidence of Improvement, and
may be called promising actor. Mr. Jefferson never
undertakes line but what he makes it an orna-
ment to the piece. he is thought to be good for
nothing but low comedy by some, but, In bis meet
ing with the lost Marie last night his acting drew
tears to many fair eye.
Miss Mary Devlin developes her talents to bet
ter advantage In this than in any former piece.
Her pantomimic action is so expressive her pos
lures 80 graceful, and her conceptions of her part
so good, that attention is concentrated upon her
throughout the continuance of the piece. She has
talents OF high quality and by study may vet at
tain the station she deserves.
