season almost unherslded. His fsther once
managed theatre here. A theatre was built
for the elder Warren Ia Baltimore during the
youthful period ofthe present William war
ren's existence. But for several years, Mr..
Warren, the actor, has been monopolized In
Boston. Moses Kimball, a manager, a Load
ing politician, an able fnsncler, and, in short,
shrewd add energetic citizen Of the thriving
town Of Boston, discovered that Warren pos
sessed talent which would make the fortune OF
the establishment TO which his own fortunes
were allied-the Boston Museum. Consequept.
ly, he secured the services OF Warren. BE
kept him. He always supported him with n
good company. Both of them thriyed. Mr..
Kimbsll retired from the business with for
tune, and Warren has laid up something for a
rainy day.
At last Warren has been persuaded 10 under
take the pleasing task Of making for himself
a national reputation. He had acted so long
In that Boston Museum, which was always q
mint of money to the manager, that many Of
main there forever, or at least until he " dried
up" and made his fusl exit from sublunsry
scenes. And, a. he said In his nice little
speech at his reception here, It was thought
that when he left Boston he was going away
from home. He has, however, overcome the
natural desire he felt to remain among his old
friends, and has taken the chances Of making
new friends. He has wisely and benenc Gently
determined TO shed the sunshine of his genial
countenance upon the rest of mankind, instead
of shutting himself M in New England and
leaving the rest Of the world out In the cold.
| Accordingly a theatrical slate was made up.
Mr.. jarrett associated himself with Mr.. Ben.
jsmln Lowell In the enterprise Of bringing Mr..
Warren before the public generally, supported
| by a combin alton Of stars.
Mr.. Lowell favored Washington with the
first performances Of the Warren Comedy
Combination at Mr.. groyer,s theatre. The
combination includes, besides Mr.. Warren, Mr..
Charles Barron, Miss Josephine Orton and
Miss Emily Mestsyer. This combination Is a
most admirable one, and, when supported by
even decent stock company, IL will be able TO
give the public In all the principal cities such
comedy and farce as few people have witnessed
during the present day and generation.
We have noticed but briefly the respective
performances Of the Warren Combination here,
because we have had too much Of war news
and political matters to attend TO, but we have
seen that, although these were their initial per-
form ances, they were eminently successful.
Mr.. Warren can play more characters we'll
most OF them excellentIy well-(so to speak)
than any other living actor. Gentlemen of his
profession generally acknowledge the truth Of
this assertion. High comedy and low comedy,
dialect parts, eccentric parts, etc., are all with
In the wide range Of his acting.
