TPallaeks Theoter.--0n Saturday night two pieces
were produced at this house. both of which have the
merit of present novelty being entirely fresh and
the other one not having been acted for q number
years. The comedy is an English piece, entitled
"Lesdipg Strings" and Ia said TO have achieved q
notable success In London. 1t was received with
much favor on its first appearance here, which was
owing quite much to the excellence of the a,ng as
TO any intrinsic merit Of the play 1t Is comedy not
fths cbeerest and gayess SORT being rather heavy for
the first tw scs though the third goes far to atone for
the tskiness Of what has gone before If Mr. Lester
Walsck or some ether competent person, would cut
out three quarters Of the first act half of the second
blend them together and play the piece in two acts
would be much better.
The plot is simple, and runs in this wise" Mrs.
Levison rs. Hoey) lie devotedy attached to her step
sor, Frank Levson" Orr. Lester, and Is anxious TO
have him marry Flora Mackenzie, his cousin but he
has fallen In love with Edith" MRS. Sloan, schem
ing besrtless poor relation member of Mrs. Lsvsons
family. Frank knowing that his mother would never
coDseDt to his marriage with Edith plans eopement
with her. which is Uncovered by his mother through
the instrumentslity of Bionngs" Mr.. Bake an old
servant of the family. Mrs Leyson fading that Frank
lie determined TO marry Edith gives her consent to the
union condition that they go with her to her country
house, and spend few weeks together exclusively
each others society. Dung tais time, Mrs LsSison,
by seeming to yied everything, manages matters TO
her entire Satisfaction She continues enc no
to Frank the perfect selfshpess Of E5h who goes off
and Kindly marrieo somebody else, ard at the sane
time brings about an irterview between Frank and
FoTs, who fall mutual, N love and married hap
ply ETC to the great y, delight, e, etc., OF Mrs.
Leyison snd the delectaioo Of oil tcheminy,
making step-mothers, etc etc, etc.
The comedy Is very badly constructed the first act
being entirely devoted to rssome explorations Of the
past history and present relative positions Of the va
rious characters all of which could be well done By
skul band 10 five minutes of carefully written dia-
logue Then, 10 the second ACT we have thu anomaly,
inexoussble the stage, of grand ball begin
npe and terminating 10 Ten minutes without change OF
presumed lapse of further time. But the play
though weak plot and very deficient ia incident Is
mace enbeny acceptable to the aadience by the capt
tai acting Of all the parties interested, among whom
let not rg.t TO specify Mr. Youug who has asn all
part of which he makes mnch. And eve o~e the au-
thor something for introducing TO the pablo chsrae-
ter entirely in the theler-a ftep-mother, who,
instead Of being the Objectionable auiml that we'll
abused person generally represented, is kind good
hearted, snd altogether lovabls. The comedy was
ceived with much favor, and in answer to CALL Mr.
Lester snnou ced its repetition iii, fcrher notice Mr.
Blale gas also cal I'd before the curtain, aud spoks
