THE GIEry.-AnOther fashionable and highly
sppreciatiye audience greeted Mr.. and Mrs. CRISP
last night. Mrs C. in the part of the Duchess de
Torrsuuera, in FpGt Heart Never Won Far LAZY,
played with her usual spirit and taste, and was
warmly applauled. She is beyond question a most
accomplished and versatile artsts. Her conception
Of the various parts in which she has appeared du-
ring the week is entirely chaste and correct; and
we do but speak the unanimous voice Of those who
have seen her, when declare, that 10 actress has
afforded more general satisfaction to, or been re-
ceived with warmer applause by the Nashville pub
lie Time has dealt most kindly with Mrs. CRISP.
While he has added TO her mental grsoss, he has
also failed to rob her Of those rare personal charms
which are Of 80 much advantage to the actress, and
which are vouchsafed to so few. Mrs c. is no less
q charming lady than al accomplished actress, and
richly merits the good opinion which she is nightly
gsiniug.
LOUIS Come was well sustained by Mr.. HAMLToN
lie generally performs his part oretitGbly, and if
he does not always play with the spirit which com
lnGuds applause, he never falls below mediocri'y-
His playing is always creditsble The same nay
be said Of AIRS BERyABD, who did the young King
in herEonted good yis Mr.. ALLEN, who playedfbe
mart Of the Nu-gui, Of SI-.F Cruz very veil, as he
never fails to DO whatever he undertakes, and Mrs
DrKE, who is a csPi,sl "sPeCiment Of the fat old
woman. This is certainly very good stock com
many TO say the least Of IT, and although We cannot
subscribe to the exaggerated bypeTbOle Of the
"smsll bills" We yet pronounce it the best We have
sver seen in Nashville.
Mr.. CRrsP IS Don Cr-1r d. BfsEn, in the melo-
drama Of that name, played ezoeleutly we'll, as he
does every part he undertakes. lie is 8 finished
actor, end never fails TO bring do the house. He
was frequently and loudly apPlauded st night.
Mrs. MESKES played H1-j,gHa beautifully. She
is handsome sprighry, and intelligent, and is grow
ing TO be q great fsv5rite with The public. Her
voice is sweet and her el0cutOn pleasing. We thing
she has gifts which need only the proper direction,
under judicious instruction, 10 make her bright
armament to the profession. She rarely fails 10 &C
unit herself with decided credit E1-sslul though
7srbaps not up 10 the standard Of her ambition or
abilities is an interesting character, and in lts pro-
Der rendition, affords opportunity for the display Of
considerable talent Mrs MENKEE's Nar.tana vas
su that We had expected Of her fne conception snd
happy rendering Of saa-sC.ors--a HIT most psi
psble hit.
Don Cesar was well sustained throughout. Miss
MAR1E DucEwopTB, sidsd greatly to the interest q
che evenings entertainment, by introducing one oil
her favorIle songs She sings with great taste anc
skill. Mr. Fl1z5LR,Ln as Don J0ss, and Mr.. Mono
rry. as Afag a. Spain. acquitted themselves in frs
rate STYLE. They both seem TO exert themselves Il
plssss, sud we sre glad to see that they arc meet
ing with success.
Between the pieces, Mr.. BEssos, the leading Low
comedian, sang one Of his original songs:
Never despise man
Because he wears q ragged cost
The words and music both his own composition
Il Was finely executed sud contains excellent esnu
nent. Mr. BEysoy aIvsys receives sn encore in III
