TheatricaIs.

ST. CHARLEs.-The inclement weather of last
evening kept theeter gOers indoors, and even the
rare attractions offered by Mr.. Forests imper-
sonstion Of Spdrtdcus, the Thracisn Gladiator,
were, it would seem, eclipsed by the genial
warmth of the glowing CRATE at home. Still,
there was present an audience sufficiently large
10 prevent any individual member of it feeling
uncOmtOrtsbly isolated, and we are inclined 70
believe that those who did go were heartily glad
Of it, in spite of wind and weather. Mr.. Forrest
was supported by Barton Hill as PhdrSdriIS Mr.
Guion as CrGSsUS tie PTGetOr, Miss Lille as
Julia, and Mrs. Perrin az SeHORd. Tonight
Hamlet is the attraction. As Mr.. Forests en-
gsgement terminates on Friday evening, these re-
naming opportunities of seeing and hearing him
should be taken advantage of.
