Mr.. FonREsr's RIcuE11Eu. Will.
mington Journal makes the following
notice of Mr.. Forrest:
"Bulwer's chaste and easy pen nm.
doubtedly attained it's crowning stroke
of beauty and elegance when it fashioned
the play of Richelieu. But however
great the purity of language with which
the drama is clothed, it does not exceed
the interest of the plot. In his parti-
ality, $50 natural and exousable,) the
author has pictured the mighty cardinal
and astute statesman in the additional
character and nobler garb of the patriot,
and in the more tender benevolence Of
character and purer inner life divests the
terrible Richelieu of that selfish thirst
for, and eager gloatiug over, power
which history has ascribed to him.
''To say that Mr.. Forrest thoroughly
conceived and appreciated the character
which he essayed to represent, and most
magnificently succeeded in represent
ing, on his first appearance in our oity
last night, would be useless ayowal on
our part. For more than forty years he
has reigned n mighty actor upon the
boards he ever trod with SO rightful and
majestic tread, safely maintaining his,
lofty eminence on the highest pinnacle
of dramatic fame. We'll and Justly did
he fit the measure of our expectation,
and he was all that the reports of his,
greatness painted to our craving. But
the high order or merit and established
reputation of Mr.. Forrest renders our
criticism useless.
''Thc troupe by which he is supported
is much above the average of ordinary
stock companies. Miss Lille is indeed
q charming actress, and in the character
OF Julie de Mortimer won q titls to the
highest encomiums Her acting is
o. u
purity of accent and pronunciation plea-
SAINT to hear. Mr.. Harris as DeAIauprat
gave to the character much emphasis and
spirit, the effect of which was greatly in
creased by his fine manly figure and ap.
pearance. Mr.. Arnold as the Count De-
Baradas is deserving of credit, while Mr..
Mitchell as Father Joseph contributed to
the interest Of the performance. The
other members of the troupe fitted the
several characters as we'll as could be ex-
pected, while the really elegant costumes
constituted q pleasing feature" :" -aH,se
Richclicu will he rendered at Janney's
Hall, this evening, by Mr.. Forrest and
company.
