NEw THKATRE-RE e. aAIEMEET OF
Mss AvoETA JOEEs.-Th,se who have
3 taste for the legitimate drams-whO
sre not quite prepared TO surrender 1t for
equestrian and other sensatiOns--snd
who are able to discriminate between
the correct rendering of 3 character,
and mere Ianting-wIll be highly graft
Ted 70 learn that the accomplished &C
fress, Miss Avonia Jones, has been re-
engaged at the New Theatre, and that
while there she viii play in many of
her best parts-ineluding Lady Mac
beth.
She viii appear some evening during
the week, in the character Of Rosalind,
IN 'As You Like t." Il has been long
time since . Nashville audience has had
en- opportunity TO witness this delight
fol comedy, which contains that grea'
conception Of its authorize Sven
Ares of Man-whioh has become SO ia
nous, having called forth the highest ar
tistio talent of the world, in It's illuslrs-
ton on canvass. The character Of Rosa
lind is q peculiar and difficult one and
II Miss Jones succeeds ia rendering il
perfectly. il will be what few Of her pre-
decessors have done. We are convinced
Tat she viii succeed, IS she possessus =
versatility that Is extremely rare among
those Of her profession.
We shall await with considerable i'm
patience her appearances as Lady Mac
beth. The predOminating characteristic
Of the female mind, IS deep feeling
and they are therefore peculiarly adapted
60 represent parts in which love, hatred,
despair, or any of the passions to which
1he race are subject, are 20 be delinested.
Bat there is none Of either Of these in
Lady Macbeth; for though she keenly
felt remOrse, yet she never allowed it TO
appesz to the outside world. Her whole
being i made up Of cold, calculating am
bition, aud unmitigEted cruelty; in
the onset, she unsexes herself and be-
Genes more masculine than her husband,
whom she Eeproaches, more than once,
for his tenderness and lack Of determin-
alton.
On Tuesday evening, new play,
called Merinm's Crime" viii be pre-
8 sented; Of its character, we know moth
ing, and We therefore forbesr 10 speak,
bat hope that on that occasion, NOS an
empty seat viii be found in the house.
We learn that Dir. Allen has arranged
Tor some additions 70 bis stock company,
IN order that ehs leading actors may Be
more sbly suppostsd.
