WIsTER GARDEE.-Last night was produced az TINS
house for the first time this sessou the ever favorie
play of Romeo and Juliet with Mise Cush MAJ as
the hapless hero. Romeo has ever been with Miss
Cusbman q favorite charscerit is one to which che
has given much study and in which she appears at her
best. The performance ia smooth, even, and emf
nenty pleasing one and varies little now from what
was five years ago. In the quiet scenes the line eocu-
ton of Miss Cusbman tells with excellent ef-
feet, and her admirable acting brought down
rou1 de Of applause all through the piece. Miss
CuihDan is The one person we have seen who
can no handle aFsword in a stage combat, as not to
make the encounter rdiculousy p,eaTauged, aud
at the came tine give the aAray an appearance Of
reality, without savageness. Her combat s,ene in
Romeo is study.
The Juliet of the evening was Mrs. d. p Bowers OF
Philadelphia, her first appearance here for several
years. She was we'll received, and richly deserves
the calls before the curtain with which she was hon.
ored.
Mrs. Bowers il unrsservedly the best Juliet
the New-York stage has known for many
years. She is lady of fine appearance,
and of exceeding grace. While she gives the love-
scene wi all their tenderness che also renders the
passages of passionate grief aud deapar, with all dds
intensity and power. Her voice Is most pleasing
one, anu dppECdOico hiS"OhO oAOoi-
lenee Being exqustely dressed, she looked the part
as wen as che ac,edit. If Mrs. Bowers could be in
duced to remain here, New.York would gain much,
nor, we surrnise, would the lady loee anything Of
popularity To bis unavoidable physical qualifications
for the part Of Mercutio, Mr. DyOtt superadded the
insxecusable fault of being badly dressed. He may
once have been good Mercuto, but it must have
been many years ago.
The other characters Of the tragedy acceptably
dope, Mr. Davidge and Mr. Couldock being esps-
eally deserving of commendatoD.
