METROPOLITAN THEATRE. = Miss Elite
Henderson appeared at the theatre las,
night for the first time, and was greeted ~
. large and fashionable audience. The play
selected was an original drama, written ex.
pressly for Miss Henderson, entitled .Lina,
the Street Singer" Her beautiful concep-
ton and artistic rendition of the title role,
proved her to be an actress Of rare merit,
and the pathos and feeling with which she
sang the two songs, "Good-bye At the door,
and Rock me to sleep mother" were never
equalled on the Metropolitan stage. In her
singing and acting, she forgot herself en-
tirely. and abandoned her whole soul to the
character she presonated.
Mr.. Brace never appeared to such id.
vantage as he did last night. His "Au-
thony Perriwinkle" was the perfection oi
comic acting, and no actor could render the
character better than he did. Insuch parts
be shows himself to be man Of genius in
his Yankee character he is only repeater
Of the most absurd nonsense tolerated on
the stage. .a's
Messfs. Wildmsn, Clinton and Cook, Mrs.
