WuLAoKs THEATER.-The plsy at this house on
Tue.dsy c the grest successes of the season,
and wss received with the utmost enthusiasm by au

The piece was written by Moncri' II, and chrstened
"Rochester;" but has been cut down, altered, re-
ysej ard possibly improved, to sui. the more refined
tastes of the present sge, aud presented under
the title of the Fast Men OF the Olden Time." Il
is said tina. the alterations have been accomplished by
Mr. Lester and they are, ior the most part, done with
much Judgment We beg lesve, ho~ever 10 enter

authorities of the city, eta the girls father and aunt,
and with all and sundry of the consables, and with
the entire population of the town, the staple Of the
play. The piece is not pure comedy, but is simply
a string of adventures and irresistible situatons,
which irtrinscally udicrous and are 50 ngeui
ou,y combined to keep the house in perfect roar
of laughter for two hours and half. We never say
more delighted audience, . more unequivocal
success.
The actors in the piece all so good that no room
is left for specifcaton-there is absolutely nothing

& novel aud admirable. The entire company is in
cnded in the cast and the piece 10 better acted thaa
il could be in any other theater in America.
