20 GROWERS THEATRE--Grs.t suc-
cess OF the Rom ence Of . Poor Young Man.
The great success Of the season IL without question
The Rlsy PRODUCED last evening At Groyers thsstre
s%ps story very esaitns aP Ps,s ssr S S
scribe IT for the benefit Of those readers who may
BY some means be precuded from witnessing Its
performance We are confident the piece merits
such attention, The cast Of characters as first
announced struck us forcibly with their admirable
arrangement, but the really grand effect produced
ating the parts can hardly be described. The
music by Koppitz Is really superb, the scenery is
worthy the master who executed Il; the ma
In effect; the work OF Mr.. r, Putnam; the ap
pointments are elegant, and no one seems TO have
left undone anything entrusted TO their exeeu-
ton. The members Of the company are afforded
In this piece more than ordinary occasion to dis
play their ability and professional address. Mr..
In every scene We deem II the first time he has
been entrusted with or assigned, (which ever II may
genius From rst 10 last ws lcst sisSt " & p ns
rett, and only saw either the poor steward else the
Marquis de Champcy. IN the scene with Msrgue-
rite, In the tower apartment, he was excitngly
earnest and he II said TO his credit that as high
pitched and wild as his tones were, he ranted
or jumbled his words or sentences, and read with
an eloquence thriingly earnest and admirably cor
rect. In the "Leap for Honor" his action was
novel, grand and elegant, and as he jumped from
the fearful height a shudder was discernibie In
every portion Of the audience which was succeed
ed by such an avalanche of involuntary applause
asis seldom heard In theatre in this city. We
applaud Mr.. Barrett heartily, and more earnestly
than ever commend him to those of the public who
have yet to see him act. Miss Lofty Hough was
welcomed again TO the theatre of her former Wash
ington triumphs by house full OF friends. As Mad
anne Aubrey she was Madame Aubrey. The audi
ence appreciated this fine acting, and clapped their
hands for joy many times during the evening. Miss
Kate Denim played the heroine Marguerite. Miss
Kate IL sweet at all times, but more charming than
ever last evening: Everybody knows her great ca.
pability ss an actress and everybody present last
night acknowledged the fact publicly. Miss Free
man played the part Of Helouin very prettily. Mrs.
GermOn thoroughly understands the character of
Madame Laroque, and her acting was fully appre-
ciated. Miss Climber had not great deal to do rs
Christine, but did IL excelently. Miss Sophie is
fine vocalist, and although not perfect In voice,
| sang with much sweetness, and was several times
applauded, particularly In the last act. The quar-
tettes and choruses were delivered very artistical
". Mr. Grover may pride himself with great jus
psny and those he has secured for auxiiaries. The
De Bevannes OF MIR. Setchell was beautifully con-
ceived and very efficiently acted MIR. setchell is a
comedian who may be said to be assimilated in his
only, we opine, be said Of him In those characters
In which Mr., Burton was popular We think that
Mr. Setchell Is the head Of new school of comedy
and that his rendition Of NJ De Bevannes is an un.
questionable proof Of what we assert. Mr.. Rogers
impersonatcs very truthfully the old French gen.
tleman, Dr. Desmarets. The character Is very skill.
fully drawn by the dramatist, and is one OF the
principal personages Of the drama. Mr.. Bokee IL
at all times an excellent actor, and the pirate
Lsroque, was thoroughly appreciated. The charac
ter well BELTS him. The piece throughout is su
every department of the fashionable theatre. Il
will be performed again this evening, when every
one who has not seen II should embrace the oppor
tunity offered Of seeing 1t, for such Is known to b,
that no one can tell how soon II may disappear
from the public.
