ST. CHARLES TuEATER.--AIiss Kate Bateman,
who left us some years ago as juvenile prodigy,
| rosebud, last night made her temperance as
an expanding and gradually ripening rose. To the
Romeo of Charley Pope, she was Juliet sutfi-
ciently sweet. Bless Billy Shakespeare for invent
ing character or pair of characters, in which the
youth and sweetness of the girl may render ac.
ceptable the responsive agony of the young OF
middle aged gentleman who may be cast to play
love to her without being supposed to feel it.
As long as pretty little girls shall be allowed
| to bud into womanhood on the STAGE we may
look for Juliets who will captvate; not by the
| actual merit of their acting, but by that fresh
ness and sweetness, that overwhelming charm
which Nature and Shakespeare have conspired Il
offer-Nature in her neyerending succession o
sweet young grls-Shaksneare in his immorta
/ language of love and other passions.
Kate Bateman's juliet, last night reminded u
of Julia Dean before she pretended to be STAR
We remember Julia's schoolgirl, semi-spasmod
STYLE before she ripened into either the woman o
the actress. Kate, last night, brought up our oil
recollections of Julia; therefore we have som
hope for Kate as an actress.
The theater was crowded. When Romeo died
the whole audience were glad that they lived, 70
,J,liet's sake-not on account of the splendid act
ing, but on account of the youth and freshness q
the actual young lady who died in the character q
the Juliet aforesaid. Tonight the rather pleasan
Miss Kate will be Geraldine, in the play of tina
name.
VARIETIES THEATER.--A full and fash ionabl
auditory as usual luxuriated last night. % Sh
Stoops to Conquer and " Conjugal Lessons
were to speak in quiet way, acceptable. W.
won't attempt to describe seriously the enjoymen
which was actually enjoyed. Our pen shrink
from any attempt at descriptive. The feasts {
merrment and pathos which are nightly produce
at the Varieties cannot be understood in any q
tempted pen description; they must be seen an
heard to be enjoyed and appreciated.
Tonight we are to have the ever glorious "Scho
for Scandal" SO gloriously played at the openn
of the theater; not to mention the farce, danein
etc. Read the advertised bill and reflect upon il
