MI. J. $. Clarke, the American comedian, WHO has
made such high reputation In London during tho
past few years, succeeds Mr.. Booth at his theatre
this month. One OF the London journals speaks
thus OF one Of his best impcrsonations:-
Mr. J. 3. Clarke has made what some would call
bold experiments by essAyIng the part OF DR.. Pam
gloss. That such an uncompi omlsing nrceur should
ilnpersonate one OF the characters IN q good old
"lexltlmate" comedy seemed to ancient piaygoers
not n little venturesome. DR.. Pangl05s Is COM
pound OF oddities which any one may depict at
pleasure. MIR. Clarke makes him neither more
less than an adventurer who has put on show OF
learning for the sake OF mundane advancement, and
smile, II not grin The true cnarm Of his repre-
sentation lies In Its thorough gcniaIlty tho arch
play Of the lips, the twinkle OF the eye. He Is
pleley unDrncped and completely good humored.
