The delicaces of the Summer theatrical season,
which usually come in with the earliest green veg
etsbles, and which, likewise, present themselves at
high prices and without any particular flavor,
have this year awaited period of msturer
growth and of promise more tempting to
dramatic appetite The experience of the past
few seasons has brought the Summer DAM
ties Of the stage into such dangerous disreputs
that nothing but the souudest and most Trustworthy
names would DOW stand the slightest chance OF wiz
ming public faith in any offerings Of the charac
ter. Last year probably the most calsmtons of
all that New-York has undergone. Summer seasons
were introduced with premature zeal, and were
cruelty prolonged TO term toward which their lives
had never before been known to lnger. Some
of these were promptly ridculed into oblivion within
fortv-eight hours after their birth. Some angushed
through week or Of unpatroniled agony. So
many desperate enterprises were never before at
tempted in 70 short time. One thea,er alone wit
messed nearly Q score Of Summer complaints, suf-
fered by as many different managers Nearly
twenty Summer seasons at single tbsater all Of
which failed, and all Of which deserved to fail The
painful error under which all seemed to labor was
that Of Indifference to quality and profound reliance
upon quantity. Bad buresques four hours in length
were among the g fantastic freaks Of that strange
eventful season. Red-hot aud swollen tragedies
were among the joyous offerings of July. A dozen
or more of incompetent managers were justly ruined
and fought unmertei relief in complimentary ben
efts Compliments for their bad taste and benefits
.or endeavoring to bamboozle the public So it was
that Summer theatrical began to be regarded
l;..l, hv bis nd
long forbearipg community; and so it happens that
greater caution is this year displayed in venuring
upon ground 80 doubtful and precarous.
Miss Emily Thorne and Mr.. Mark Smith took the
frat step last evening at the Winter Garden. Their
preparatous have been carefully made, and the COM
position OF their company is such US TO justify hopes
Of better things than any suddenly extemporized
uoupe would afford. Their opening bill consisted
OF three familiar pieces, Nine Points Of the Law,
"Wanted, 1000 Milliners," and "Sketches in
India" in which the principal characters were sus-
tanned by Miss Emily Thorne, Mrs. Mark Smith,
Mr.. Setclel, and the two brothers, Mark and Sol
Smith, with very great spirit and success. Their
performances were highly snd worthiIy compli
mented by tie audience, and the Representations
altogether, which gave evidence OF extreme care
and good taste in preparation, were received with
unusually cordial tokens OF appreciation. Greater
satisfaction than that which the charming perform
ance Of "Nlne Points of Law created is Lot
often witnessed in any place of public entertain
ment. Tie same bill viii DO repeated every even
