NV THrArRE.-The rainy westher pieys
havoc with theatricals; nevertheless q m, me
audience was in attendance as tuS r- nee
Theatre last evening, 70 witness alss y ~, -
plsncbard's rendition Of the very dlincqli
- ~ Cspitols Black, in the drama q the
Ei5den Hsnd. We remained only during
Re sTst three acts but in these We io11d
efiss Z. fully I'D % our expectations which
we-s bieb. She made q capital appearance
a. a neEsboy, though she hsd scarcely 50
rnssv rags swinging about her, Is usually
s-e sttached to the garments Of initiated
members Of that fraternily.
We presume that there are few who wit
messed her, in this character, who suppose
that il is drawn from real life, or that u
has e palallel in real life but those who
thus s0nclude are seriously mistaken. We
know Of an instance in which little girl,
driven By want. did do precisely what Cap
itola Is represented 70 have d0nei and YVES
only detected after she had Practiced the
imposition for three years; but in her esse,
the Judge hiu1telf, Detroit magistrate, be-
came her professor and guardian and nov,
she is not unknown in the literary world,
though but twenty-five years Of age.
But enough Of this depression. Miss Blan-
ehard appears 20 possess q vivid conception
Of the character Of Capitola, and is equal to
sll the eccentFicities which attach ihem-
selves 70 Il.
Tonight, the celebrated Irish drama Of
Colleen BaWn viii be put upon the sage.
This is 8 melo-dlama Of iuteese interest
one which mas never yet failed 70 Ill the
most commodi0us theaters in She large
cities Of the East frequently iQF weeks N
succession: and we nave no doubt, but, II
the weather is anything like pleasant, every
seat in the new theater will be filed, and
the sisles crowded. Miss Blanchard takes
the part Of Ely O'Conner, Ed wight that
Of Miles no Coppaleen--the same which has
been made classic by COilins-While Carrie
Wight assumes the role Of Ann Chute, and
Mr.. Boswortt that Of Father Tom.
on Friday night, Miss Blanchard takes a
benefit, and We shall expect it to be one
worthy 50 charming an actress.
ORB THRArRE.-The Old Theatre, ike al
the other places Of amusement, suffered
through the inelemeney Of the westher,Iat
night, but not 30 much as il was reasonable
70 expect. People can well siord TO defy
wind and weather, when Miss Thompson
is the star Of the evening. ''Ihe Belle Of
the Fauburg" is q deservedly popular play,
and with Miss Thompson as Msdalaine, It's
attractions are enhanced. She has pecu-
liza talent for pathOs, and in few characters
display, than in that Of Madelaine.
As Remiug, Harry Everett was excellent;
while we are not prepared 70 prononnce any
very high eneoniums upon some others who
played important parts.
The performance concluded with the
Happy Man, /" which Wss well played, and
kept the house in roar Of laughter, from
beginning TO end.
Tonight, Fanchon will be played, with
Miss Thompson as the Cricket; and as we
have seen heT several times in this charac-
ter, We know that those who witness her,
will be delighted.
PoLAND's VARIETY THEATRE The rain
last evening had the effect Of somewhat re-
ducing Che number that ordinarily attend
this place Of amusement; but those that
were preseB, manifested their pleasure By
hearty applause. There is no discount On
the company. let the weather be ss 1t may
Encourage them 10 their Efforts, as you
the eby lend an incentive 10 the propretors
whose enterprise have secured their services.
Miss Agnes Sutherland took her leave Of the
patrons Of the Variety" last evening
During her stay here she has inside many
friends, who would like 10 have her visit
Nashville again At as early day as possi-
bic. This even ng will be looked forward
TO with more than usual interest as il IS
expected 10 be the event Of the season. Il
is Poland's benefit night, and bill Of rare
exeHlience viii be offered, embracing the
names Of many gentlemen not unknown to
fame in their line. Among them, Mr.. Ben.
Wheeler, celebrated as an Irish comedian
and vocalist. In addition to songs, dances,
ballads, etc, etc, will be presented that
deeply interesting and sterling drama, emit
It'd ''The Irish Emigrsnt," with Sam.
IS O'Rryan, and L. P. Roys as
Robolink. Let not the friends Of Mr. Poland |
and Of the establishment fail to make this
an occasion long 10 be remembered by the
worthy beneficiary by filling his pockets |
with greenbacks.
