NATIONAL THEATRE--Another crowded house
assembled last night at the National TO witness the
inimitable delineations of Irish and Yankee char
acter by Mr.. and Mrs Florence.
Mr.. Florence is one of the best delineators OF
Irish character now on the stage, and what is a
great merit in these days Of extravaganza and car
feature, he never overdoes anything he atte npts
Mrs. Florence, as most of our readers are aware,
is perfectly at home as the genuine unadulterated
/" Yankee Gal" character seldom found at the
present day, except in the remotest villages Of
Maine and New Hampshire
If the hearty and unrestrained laughter OF an
audience is any test of the merit of comedians, Mr.
and Mrs Florence must be regarded as standing
at the very head of their profession. We never
saw thousand people so universally convulsed as
was the audience at the National last evening.
