The manner Of the address, in its departure from
the old conventonalisin OF gh-hown poetry hitherto
deemed necessary such occasions, was unexpected
and most welcome its matter seemed to us an out-of-
place obtruson Of private grievances upon the public
However strongly the sympathies Of the public may be
enlisted in Miss Keene's behalf, partc statement
of her case at time when opportunity was offered
to the accused party for hearing, could not aid her
cause. OF all her friends who had congegated there
TO welcome her in her new dramatic home and bid her
God speed from her startingpont there were few
who did not truly regret that she had been betrayed
of her new found friend was less offensive than her
implied condemn itiOn of those she deems her
enemies The speech was in very bad
taste throughout and cannot but conceive that IN
this matter her own good sense overruled by the
i'll advice of injudious friends. We sincerely hope
that this is the last time we may hear of these
disgracefu chickering's, and that very short
time will convince Miss Keene that her professional
bara nh a m
and actress, rather than her bitter sharpness dis
putant.
OF the twenty five hundred people in the theater
last night there were very few ladies' their presence
may have been prevented by anticpations of the
crush. Tie house is really gem Of q theater, well
lighted and ventilated and seemingly properly adapted
in every way to the purpose for which it was designed
The new scenery elegant and appropriate, reflect
ing great credit upon the artists
The performance Of the comedy last night was but
indifferent we'll" although, as il was given under
peculiar and exciting circumstances, and as many OF
the people arc new to each other and unaceustomcd to
playing together, decided improvement in this re-
spect may be confidently predicted. In the early part
of the evening the house disturbed for full halt an
hour by vociferous yels for Jordan" i'll which the
rabbe Of the upper galleries was led on by few wei
dressed backguards who had copgregated in the vicn
ity of the stage boxes All attempts TO still the tunult
were for long time vailing. Mr.. Baker, the leader
of the orchestra rose and attempted to explain that
Mr. jordan was dressing and could not appear, but
he was instantly hooted down. Three times he es-
saved to proceed with the musc, but each time the
orchestra was drowned in fury Of yolls and Kisses.
MI Tlimble finally made his appearance on the stage,
and said few words after which quiet was partially
stored, ind the performance went on. This was the
only interruption to the peasantness of the evening;
otherwise everything passed off smoothly; and
"Laura Keene's Theater started in the race for pub
Lie favor amid most enthusiastic chorus Of cheers
from her weI-wisbers.
