Orleans Dramatic Relief Association.

The second subscription performance of
the Orleans Dramatic Relief Association,
took place at the Varieties Theatre on Fri
day evening, when Shakspeare's Merchant
of Venice" was performed The house was
filed to its utmost capacity by fashiona-
BILE and appreciative audience, nOtwith-
standing the great heat of the weather.
As the ''bill of the play" does not desig-
nate the names of the several gentlemen
who constituted the dramatis persone, a
specific criticism can not be made, even
were it in accordance with the amenities to
criticise an amateur pc rfOrmance. But it is
bare justice to the gentlemen who sustained
the various parts, to say that the whole was
a perfect success. The excellent acting
showed that the performers had carefully
and intelligently studied the spirit of the
characters they personated, and the most
captious critic would have found little to
criticise in the rendering.
The only exception that could be
made to the performance was this, that the
actors, not being habituated to so large a
building, the voices were not pitched suffi
GENTLY loud to be heard with distinctness in
the distant parts of the house. This defect
improved. however, as the play progressed,
and in the last scene the distinctness of
enunciation was everything that could be
wished.
. There is no test of excellence in his
trionic performance so conclusive as is the
close attention of the audience. Applying
this test to the last scene of the play, it was
excellent indeed; for the silence was abso-
lutte throughout. Not sound could be
heard as the audience sat in rapt attention
to the mimic scene before them
We have not ATTEMPTED to particularize in
this notice, for where all was excellent, it
would be invidious to do so. Of the ladies
who appeared on this occasion, Miss Alice
Gray as Portio. Mrs. Schubert as Jessica,
and Mrs. Wharton as Nerissa, all a if not
perfect, were so excellent, that any QuerulOus
fault-fnder would have difficulty in know
ing where to begin.
Altogether, the performance, scenery,
dresses, music and ALL was success that
must be very gratifying to the members OF
the Orleans Dramatic Relief Association,
and to their numerous friends who where
nreSent
