I tanned some mi-giFings Is 10 her AFFINITY %
{ seQuit herself 90 as to render enAie sstis-
/ faction, in 3 character N when Mcgee
i N .tcheI has 50 often appeared before
! N..bv ne audience, after having made it
the study Of many years but never were
We more disappoint d. Her rencItion Of
Fauehon, was equal 70 am we have ever
seen-equal 10 that Of Miss Mitchell, who
/ has long since been pronounced perfect.
Her size, her from, her beauty, ana her
voice, emnenty qualify her for such pleas
ing parts as that Of Fancbon, harton, aad
other popular characters. Miss B. Is enc O.
that class Of actresses that never tires the
public the longer she remains, and the
more the public fee Of her, the more en-
deared sshe becomes and while she drew
good house last night, we have no doubt
but her audiences will continue to increase
during her entire stay.
That which aided her, aud rendered her

TACT that she was ably supported Ed.
Wight, as Didier, was inimitaole and all
the others sustained themselves with great
credit
Tonight Miss Blanchard viii appear as
Marion, in the play Of the "Pride Of the
Market" and also as Paul, ia the "Pet q
the Pc ticoats."
Oh TaEaTRE.-"Little Barefoot" is a ia
vorite play with Miss Charlotte Thompson,
and her rendition Of the character Is, per
haps, as perfect as can be made. II is also
popular with the people, and whenever It IS
announced, is certain 20 draw q crowded
house. Miss 7. is well known in this ei y
as an &C ress, and the announcement that
she would appe r last night, in a character
which she has made peculiarly hSf own,
was all that was required to MI every seat.
She repeats her rendition tonight, and
we shall expect her greeting to be as hearty
as ever; and especially 60 AFTER the public
have had an opportunity 10 witness the able
manner in which she was supported By the
company; for we have seldom seen 3 play
in which every one taking part was 90 per-
fectly up 10 the standard Of exc, Hence re-
CURED.
The performance tonight will conclude
wi "My Brother Bill" one Of the best
farces ever put upon the stage.
