BURros's TnEATER.-Mr. John Broughsm', rsap-
pearspce was hailed last night by large audience
with the moet enthusiastic applause. The play was
production of his ovn four ded upon Mr.. Thsokerays
rovel, "vsnty Fair The leading incident alone is
used, and the whole play is based upon tue heter-
akelter race by the Crswieys the Ssd eys ard Miss
Becky Sharpe after the fortune Of Miss Crawley. Mr..
Brougbsm has not attempted dramszation of the
VIII, lie novel and Consequently many Of the characters
in the hook DO not appear at in the play, and those
hat DO work out their several destines by
italy ering from ibose adopted by their namesakes,
as described by Mr. Thackersy. Many are the hbsr-
ties Mr.. Broughsm has taken With the story, they
are nothing compared with those taken with Mr..
Brous hams text by the various actors. This version
of Vanity Fair was played at the Chambsrsstreet
Thester eight years ago. ard in those days Mr. Burton
did not 6sdsin TO study part he intended 10 play,
little pre- fminsry evidently entirely neglected by him
in the present instance for he was wofully, wretch
edly ard fatally imperfect. The other ohsrac-
ter worthy of the most pss'icuar notice was
the Becky Sharpe Of Miss S1san Denim, who
was admirably dressed, and seemed 10 have
caught the spirit Of the character The play, as rep
resented sst everDg, is certainly dull and uninerest
rg, and Mr. Broughsm seemed entirely out Of his ele
mept. He at home in the farce, in which he
made o sensation and was vehemeptly applsuied
Being called out, he inside hsppy and appropriate
spec 3D. and was followed by Mr.. Burton who also ad
dressed the house. Mr.. Brougham's welcome back to
the New.York boards was on the whole most hearty.
