Tho management Of tbls popular theatre deserves
much credit for presenting 70 Its patrons Of tho best

sad clever actress, Miss Kate Regnolds to support Mr.
Charles Dillon In the fourth week OF his successful
engagement The vlvacious comedy Of Ths Wonder was

Miss Reynolds volantc, 70 very fair house, and
was warmly received. Mr. James e. Murdoch OBJ

country well as abroad; and though Mr..

Characterization Of that gentleman, very

supposed and no gave Us ssnses comedy imperona,

Park Theatre. Brooklyn.
Mr.. ID. +. Bowers and Mr.. J. G. McCollom commenced
engagement at this pretty theatre last evening, and
their appearance greeted by crowded house. Bull
wers favorite play the Lady Of Lyons was the piece
produced Tho character Of Claude Melnotte well
nned by Mr.. McCollom; IN some parts Of the rem.
dering, however the effect OF otherwise careful acting
was spoiled by too STACEY manner and delivery Mrs.
D. r. Bowers was Of course excellent In the part OF
Pauline Deschappeles, this being her fnvorite rjh,
and Ia equally favoritc with her admirers. Her
acting In the third act when she discovers sho is
the vito Of tho gardeners instead OF nm
Italian prince, was a nne dencotlon OF the conflict
In womans breast between the feelings Of pride and
love- she carried the sympathy and appreciation OF the
audience with her throughout the performance and was
twice called before the curtain. Mr.. Chppendso was
particularly happy in his rendition OF the part OF Colonel
Dainss Mr. q. Wrcn's unpleasant IDannerism alto
gether spot the part Of Monsieur Deschappeles and
Mrs DAVIS was equally unsuccessful Ia her representa-
corded BY Mrs. Conway company fair and II may
safely affirmed that the piece has seldom boon better
put on the stage or more ably acted ia Brooklyn than
was last evening.
