PUBLIC ADJUSTMENTS.

"The Clandestinc Marriage" will DO represented
tonight at WaIlacks for the second time this season.
II for no other reason, it will DO worth witnessing
for the admirable performance of Mr.. John Gilbert
in the part of Lord Ogleby which, on Monday night,
was recoonized as the chief attraction of the piece
The other characters are vastly inferior that no
amount of clever acting could lit them to import
ance. All that might be done for those OF Mrs.
Heidelberg, Mr. Sterling, Miss Sterling, Fanny,
Brush. and Betty, was certainly fulfilled by their
respective representatives. The minor parts were
also unusually well provided for. That of servant
who las simply twO-line business in the fret act
was very neatly presented by Miss Carman. Mr.
Gilbert. hcwoyer has the best Of the play to him
self and he Offers in Lord Ogeby, the most artistic
and most delicate performance he has shown us
this season. Whatever success 1.-THE Clandesiine
Marriage" may secure on this revival will be due
TO tie artists who are engaged in its representation,
and not 10 it's own merits as n comedy. Like the
great msioriiy of the dramatic works Of is time IT is
respectable for it, age and pable for It's nhrmiles.
The plot which is fragile, is YEARLY worked to-
qether, and the material incidents, which have the
sembhnce Of being Lurredly collected and imperfect
" stirred weigh heavily upon the action thoughout.
The LANGUAGE il nowhere brilliant, and the situations
are all trite including even those Of Lord Ogleby,
which are ouly repeiitions Of what had been made
popular ANA familiar long before the day Of Coman
and Garrck-lor whoever may have becnthe writer
for it is by no means thoroughly settled point that
these gentlemen have tie right TO the entire repuia
ton Of is authorship. For the cake Of the acting
we repeat, there should be large attendance at Wal
lacks this evening.
