Ma. COUEDOoK As PRrEs PRoBITY.-The
following compIiment to the fine acting Of
the part of 'PotOr Probity," in Chimney
Corner" by Mr. Coaidock, is from a gentle
man sminohtly qualified to appreciate it.
The notice Of the admirable portrayal Of the
old man Of 90, by Mr.. Ellsler, is well de-
served:
ain the days Of the Booth who did Lear
as Lear has never been done since his death,
we were wont to bs'Of the Park pit frequent
ers. For VIC love to sec the mirror so held up
to nature, that old age may see his form and
feature, and all the antagOnisms which shock
the hoart Of eOn6ding parental love and faith,
fully pictured. So may we judge how crime
or its sembianee, Whsn enacted by a child,
viii wound the true soul of doting father.
Since the representations Of the Lear Of
the elder Booth, w0 have witnessed no acting
which told US with such powerful emphasis
how dearly the senilo heart-strings clung to
the honor and good name of young manhood,
as that which in Mr. COuldOek's representa-
ton Of the father in his home drama Of the
Chimney Corner. It is Mr.. COuldOck's in
tsntiOi, says rumOr, to produce this piece IN
New York. The audiences which gathered
to see the acting Of veteran players, viii
greet him with their plaudits.
q The piece was we'll played throughout.
Mr.. EIlsler's old msn-Ve,y old man-was
done as II he '0as 81 years Of age, and ne de-
served the call with which he was honored
It is brutal thing, this calling out an actor
when the piece is done. But it is inteHasa as
a compliment, and actors have % consider it
as such. We beg, in orr quiet way, to ap-
prise Mr.. Couldoek that everybody said he
was excellent at 90. years Of age, and Mr..
Ellslsr that we hope he may live to be 90,
and at that age aet the grandfather with as
much acceptance to sll who know him, as he
now initiates the dOings of patriarch
