.Enough has been sesniof the new, com
pany at tho Varieties during the week just
passed, to convince th patrons Of the L.
gitimate drama that Manager Baker has
made most judicions Selection If artists
for the present season. Consideting the
Varieties has, always niintained' it, eharac-
ter a. . 6rstclass theatrs and that from it's
inception its managemezt he's beeA eenAdei
to men renowned in tleir profession EN-
bracing tho names Of Plscade, Owen, Bouci-
canlt, Baker, Floyd, etc.-tnes psssessed Of
varied talent, good Judgment, long expe-
rience, and an intimate acquaintance with
authors and actors, our people very nasa-
rally felt assured that whoever succeeded
to the management, thu same care would
be observed in the selection of artists that
has heretofore been Observed, az in this
way only could the character Of the theatre
be maintained. ~ '''l, -
On Thursday night laH Baucicault's great
comedy of fashionable Ifs in London, en-
titled London Assurance was produced ct
the Varieties with cast OF much strength.
The play itself has long since passed the
ordeal of public critichm, and, notwith-
standing its faults, is Dw classed among
the standard plays Of or time. We have
seen it rendered somewhat different from
what it is by Manager Blker's company, but
then, upon the whole, i IL a smooth and
pleasing performance, developing at once
the high order of varied talent possessed by
the gentlemen and ladies' composing the
present Varieties company. Tho courtly,
and, at the came time, amorOus Sir Uar-
court C0srtiy, was pers0ated almost to o
dot by Mr.. Lewis Baker. 1'''':...'
Manager Raker ia Eell and favor
ably. known to our people, and there!
fore it is unnecessary to say moro in praise
Of him as an actor. Mis- Augusta Ia Oar
gon's Lady Gay Spanlsr was BY all odds
the best piece Of, acting Of the night; but
this is not said with yhF of disparaging
the merits of others, for tie acting was good
throughout. Miss Da.goh must become q
favorite with our people if we are not very
much mistaken, for ,shepsssesses no faults
that are pslpably visibls and has much to
commend her to popular favor. tThe Grace
Harkauay Of Miss Ella Burns was q fair
performance, but not Of q marked charac-
ter. BY some it mighthave been thought
tame, yet others would h&ejudged it modest;
and as the most Of US an Inclined to admire
modesty in woman, Mis- Burns will not be
without admirers, EVENT. she be not with
out fault in her style Of personating the
graceful and charming Grace Harkacay.
Miss frankie cClellans Pert was clever
and sprightly. The SrCAarles Cossrtly of
Mr.. Frank Evans was rally a clever PER-
formance, and was received with marked
appreciation. Mr.. F. Devar had been cast for
Mark Meddle, but in consequence Of the sud-
den indlsposition of Mr.. shorne, who was to
play Dazzle, there was acAange Of charac-
ters, and Mr.. Dewlri had to take
the part of Dazzle, which he sus-
tanned respectfully, al things consid-
cred. The Dolly Speaker Of Mr.. A. H.
Davenport is not a nw performance to
many of our citizens. /, may be alightly
overdrawn, but a. he is an old favorite it
would be hard to convnse his admirers
that he has any serious fant. The Cool Of
Mr.. George Jordan, Jr, and Mar Harkascay
Of Mr.. T. Hind, were cretihbly performed.
We do not recollect the nae of the gentle
tleman who played Ae'k Meddle, but he
proved remarkably nedllesome7 fellow,
and must have come up b he authors idea
of the character if there il anything in a
o name. E tb1
There was a large and fashionable au-
dience present at the first performance of
this play and it was repe,taa at the Satur-
day matinee rsa' I 7sf
| Last evening the play # Macbeth" was
performed, Miss Dargm playing LAZY
Macbeth to Mr.. j.. B. Sndey's Macbcth.
