ELLsLER's sATHENEUM-MR. WARDS BEN
EFIT.--There was good house at the Athe-
neum last night. The comedies set down
in the bill, were well performed, and kept
the audience awake, delighted and amused.
The rapid changes of scene, and the variety
of incidents, comic and serious, with Mr..
Ward, as the versatile and ever ready rep
resentative of the true Irish character
whether in its grave or humorous mood,
made q fine entertainment, in which the
principal aim was more to charm by variety
oflaughable and unexpected incidents than
to interest by the development of an intri-
cate plot. As such it was quite a success.
Mr.. Ward, as already announced, takes a
benefit tonight. 1t is his last appearance
but one on our boards. His merits as an
actor and his contribution to dramatic en-
tertainment, while he has been at the Athe-
neum, which have made him decidedly apop-
ular favorite here, entitle him to rousipg
benefit. We trust the house will be filled Ia
overfowing. Two splendid and popular
Irish dramas, in which Mr.. Ward will ol
course play the principal characters-"Tht
Rose of Killarney" and "Rorey O'More"-
have been selected for tonight. Nobody
who has any dramatic taste will easily con-
sent to forego seeing Mr.. Ward in these two
beautiful Irish plays.
