''Arrah-na-Poaue,, nj the Walnut.

"Arrnh-Da-rOHueo at the Walnut.
Boucicaults Irish drama OF Arrdh-na- Pogue was
brought out at the Walnut last evening" with Miss
Josie Orton as the heroine OF the piece The terrific
thunderstorm which set in early in the evening had
the effect OF materially diminishing the size OF the
audience, but Miss Orton was welcomed back to the
Philadelphia stage with heartiness that testified to
the high estimation in which she is held by the
public
Arrdh-na-Pog1e is a good specimen OF Boucicaut's
best STYLE and If not the best it is OF the best OF
what In these latter days. might be called the "Fe-
MAN. drama. The old stock characters and incidents
are presented to us in all their native glory without
any serious attempt to depart from the well-beaten
track, but Boucicault has shown his skill as play
wright by weaving them into story OF considerable
interest, which presents number OF highly effective
dramatic situations, and which afford some oppor-
tunities for powerful acting.
"Arrah Meelish" is not one OF Miss Ortons best
parts, for she can appear to much better advantage
in much higher grade OF dramatic characters, but
in it she has few If any superors. Her acting last
evening was up TO a high standard Of merit, and
those scenes which call for the expression OF strong
natural emotions were very finely rendered. Some
OF Miss Orton's attitudes had an apparently unstu-
died grace which remarkably effective and artis-
tic. There is quality in Miss Orton's acting for
which she has not always received full credlt-her
poses are frequently full Of fine expression, which
are graceful and natural to conceal the art by
which the effect is produced. We hope again to see
Miss orton permanently attached to OF thea
tres, where she will have opportunity to appear
in line Of characters worthy of her, and not be
obliged to waste her fine abilities on such worthless
pieces were too often presented during her last
season at the Chestnut.
