Mcfropolifan Ihcdtcr.--A number of attractive
PLAYS have been produced at this house during the
past week, the best of which, is Tom. Taylors drama
of Masks and Faces" As we anticipated, this play,
which is one of the very best of its STYLE was WELL
and in some respects exqusitcly acted. The james
Triplet" of Mr.. Charles Fisher is excellent in
every particular, the funny hits Enthusiastically
oomical the pathetic portions really touching, and
the whole so thorou ghy natural that the single per-
sonaion would stamp him actor Of first abilities.
His mastery of the violin also gives him an opportu-
nity of producing effects that another actor woudm miss
The Peg Wellington OF Miss Davenport is one
Of her very best efforts, and the Mrs. Bracegrde
episode gives her opportunity OF doing some won
derful things the way of limitations The introduce
tion of several Others Of the actors whose fame has
passed into history gives the play another special
interest. Cooley Cibber," james Qun,' and the
others Of the cast, are all well acted by the pick of
the stock company and the play has been so success
fu that il is to be repeated this week. On Saturday
night Miss Davenport took a benefit, on which occa-
sion she produced a melo-drama called Charlotte
CorJay" In the course Of the piece Miss Davenport
chants the Marseilase and thus conrives to infusc
certain decree of life into drama which IL otherwise
destitute of interest and which calls for no further
notice.
