CITY WTELLIGENCE

THEATRICAL NEWS.-For the first summer season
for several years the doors of "0d Drury'
have been closed. The boards have not sounded
to the tired of Hamlet, Macbeth, Paul PRIV nor Too
dies for nearly three months and silence has
reigned supreme. This, however is not ALWAYS to
remain so, as is the intention of Manager Ford to
open Holiday Street Theatre about the middle of
August with much improved stock company, and
an Entertaining autumn season may be expected
Inc stock company will consist in part of G. Bar
ton Hill, (here last tseason;) G. D. Chaplain (of the
northern theatres, young man of line capacity
dian, an lrishman by birth, and OF considerable
reputation in his line of characters;) p G. Ring

acceptance;) VIM. Ii. Leake, (here last season and
a fair actor.) Among the actresses are Miss Alice
Gray, as leading woman. She is from the northern
and western theatres, where she has been starring
1t the past season-sad to be young and beaut-
full, and possessed of more than ordinary profes-
sional TALENT Miss Henri, Connected with Hoi
day Street Company two years ago, and great

singing;) Miss Osbourn, Miss Mary Carr, and a
number OF others.
By these additions the company has been much
improved, and Manager Ford is determined to pre-
sent an unusual series of attractions. number of
the most distinguished stars are already engaged,
and the community may confidently expect to have
the pleasure of witnessing Edwin Booth james L.
Murdoch, Mr.. and Mrs. Barney Williams, the Flo
rences Joseph Jefferson, John Sleeper Clarke, Mrs.
John Wood, the Ravels, and the Italian Opera
Besides these, negotiations now pending be-
tween the manager and other eminent actors and
actresses, to secure them for short engagements,
and thus present theatrical performances worthy
OF the liberal support of the citizens. The theatre
as rearranged, is one of the most comfortable plea
sure resorts IN the city. The system of ventilla-
tion is admirable, the seats soft and pleasa nt and
the means of ingress and egress ample. Baltimore
should generously support first class theatre and
II Manager Ford is seconded by good patronage in

to give the citizens of Baltimore theatrical enter
tainmens equal to any offered by any other cities

the past season. Mr.. Booth gives promise of future
eminence in his profession, and has been engaged
as leading man at one of the New Orleans theatres
for the ensuing fall and winter seasons.
