Speaking Of Mark Smith and the present aspect
Of the new tlteater-the New York-under the
mana cement of that gentleman and Mr.. Baker, the
New York Tribune says:
Mr.. Mark Smith is one Of the abIest and most
popular actors on the local;stage We call to
mind his DEBUT at Walackfs theater, several years
ago. when, Gs-Sir William FOndloye, in "The Love
Chase, he quite carried of the honors ola bril-
liant occasion. His subsequent career, too, and
his many successes, are fresh in cur recollection
successes that have been won by genuine talent
aud culture, animated by sincere love for the dra
matte art and intelligent respect for its lofty char
| acter and capablites-and it is therefore mpos-
tsibe to doubt the prestige under which this new
| enterprise las been inaugurated. AS to its local
t hab!tation, changes lave been made without and
| within. The grim old tower il nearly swallowed
| up already, and may be expected ultimately to
| disappear altogether The floor Of the parquette
has been properly graded, and the seats have been
so arranged that clear view of the stage may be
obtained from all parts Of the house. The 0rna-
mentation Of the l0bbes has been renewed,
| after neat device, and a commodious promenade
/ has been constructed in the rear of the gallery.
At various points within the walls the hand Of til
skilltul decorator is pleasantly visible. The house
is lighted from above before, and the ventilla-
| tion is amply sufficient.
