P,pERs' OPERA HousE-" RosxpALE.

flPkkS OrkhA hOOsh"
The beautiful ive.act play Of Crosse
dale" which as a popular fayorite bad
such a long run with the San Francisco
thea,er-goers, was presented last eve
ming at the Opera House for the first
time. The audience was a large one,
every seat being filled, above and be-
low, and the dress circle was brilliant
with the potent charms of ladies' dress
and sparkling eyes. The play is of the
sensational order, like Under the Gas
light" and like it, is also dependent
principally on the startling incidents
and dramatic tableau d~euouements Of
the plot, aud the brilliant scenic effects
developed, for its popularity with the
audience. 1t most certainly took well,
for we have rarely seen n more attentive,
sympathetic, or better pleased audience
than that Of last evening. The grand
tableau sensational scene OF the Gypsy
Dell in the fourth act was encored no
less than three times. Mr.. Barrett's
disguise and appearance among the
Gipsies in this act, as "Coll" the Lon
| don "cracksman," together With his
song aud dance, accompanied in the
| chorus by all the Gipsies, is admirable,
and the grand military quadrille at the
| conclusion Of the fifth act, a Of the
prettiest dances imaginable. Barrett,
as Elliott Gray, Sue Robinson, as Rosa
Leigh, Mrs. Stewart ss Tabitha, john
Woodland as the queer old kooo, Beat
~ US the villainous Mckenna, Buckley
as Matthew Leigh, Robinson as Col.
| Nav, the Rand sisters in parts assumed,
and Fanny Hanks as Sarah, all did we'll,
unless the last mentioned may have
been considered a trifle too e~xtravagant.
Even Baby Hanks, as the little stolen
boy Arthur, succeeded finely. The voice
Of the prompter in many portions OF The
piece was a little too apparent, yet con-
sidering the quick succession OF the
pieces which tho same actors have ap-
peared in of late, it is not strange that
the FIRST rendition Of this new piece by
them should be a little defective in that
respect. "Roscdale" will be repeated
tonight on the occasion Of Mr.. Barrett's
benefit, when Of course there will be a
crowded house.
