NASHVILLE THEATRE-Miss MARION MACARTHY and
Mr. +. A. VINCENT have been the attractions at the
theatre during the last week. They were very I'M
fortunate in the date of their arrival having had to
compete with the Presidential election at first, and
afterwards to suffer from the Enthusiastically
November weather which we have been enjoying
the last few days. Under all disadvantages they
have been growing in popularity ever since their
arrival, and should they play another week viii
doubtlessly receive the patronage they deserve.
Miss MCCARTHY is a comedienne Of the parts more
adapted to farce than to comedy her acting abounds
in broad hearty humor, and joyous hilarity rather
than in refined graces of high comedy. She is more
at home in Judy O'Trot than in Lady Gay Spanker,
but whatever she undertakes she carries off with
dash and spirit which keeps the audience in good
humOr.
Mr. VINCENT is irresistibly comic in all the parts
he has assumed, keeping the audience in a roar as
long as he Is on the stage and making them wish
for him as long he is of with Black Re
publican President and hard times in the money
market we wanted just such recreation as tie
Theatre now affords, and we can only wish that
these pleasant comedians could be keeping the peo-
pie IN good humour by playing in the North and
South at the same time, we would then defy dis
uion and let of our splenetc humOrs in loud guf-
fsw.
We forgot to mention that Miss MCCARTHY adds to
comic powers very considerable musical faculty,
having fine voice and considerable executions
the bits of opera she introduces into the farce of
Jenny Lind would do no discredit to opera in
earnest.
The new drama of nine points of the law will be
performed for the first time, Monday night
