last evening, the comedietta of "Who Speaks
First" which was so well received on Tuesday
night, was repeated in an eminently satisfacto-
~ manner. We can only say that Miss Bry-
ant, Miss Peters, Mr.. Neal, Mr.. Chase and Mr..
Bryant omparison would be invidious where
all did so well-acted their respective parts as
skillfully as if they were professional drama

expected on or about A. D., 1876. To say that
Mrs. Curtis farce-yes, we must positively call

of the manner in which its anachronisms, its
social paradoxes and its broadcast of broad hui

notions of the beatific condition of things on
the great anniversary of American indepen-
dence. The play is open, perhaps, 10 unfavor-
able CRITICISM so far as it attempts to be an ar

Evans, as Wolverine Griffin, gave the audience
some very attractive comic oratory-in which
her remarkably fine voice was of great service
energetic acting and misunderstanding love-
making, but failed to make herself in the
slightest degree repulsive, as Mrs. Curtis VOL
VERNE certainly should be. Miss Peters, as
Mrs. Badger, the tax-collector, would collect
the whiskey tax and save the government $780,
100000 per annum. We recommend her cor
daily for the vacant Commissionership of the
Internal Revenue. Miss McCobb was charm
ing as Victorine, leader of the rebellion against
the new gospel according to Anna Dickinson.
Miss Wade wears the judicial ermine with o
gravity and solemn impressiveness that would
have done infinite credit to the bar of England
in the days of Mansfield. Mr.. G. E. Emerson
in assuming the part of the afflicted Tom Can.
