THEATRE. The crowded state of our col.
| umns yesterday morning allowed us to give
only the briefest possible notice of the perform
ance of Rosedae, on Monday evening. The
drama deserves a more extended notice. as it
is really one of the best plays ever enacted in
this city. Unlike most of the sensational dra-
mas of the day, it possesses great literary mer
il, aud abounds in scenes of the most thrilling
and pathetic chara cter. The managers have
done all in their power to make the drama
success, and with the fine acting, beautiful
scenery, splendid music and correct aecesso-
ries, it apr caches as near peIfecton as is pos
slbe. We have spoken of Miss Fanny Her.
rings splendid impersonation OF Rosa Leigh,
and iced not again refer to it. AT each sue
ceeding performance, she becomes a greater
iavorite. One cannot speak too highly of Mr.
ii. Huutley's impersonation of the character
of Elliot Grey. In it, he displayed talent OF
the very highest order, and he looked and act
ed the part of the eashing young soldier to per-
lection. His disguise as Coll, the crack, in the
second scene in the fourth act, was perfect, ard
displayed rare versatility of genius. The Miles
McKenna of MIR. Harry Moreland, was one of
his best efforts, it being finished and power
full piece of acting. Miss Minnie Gray, as
Florence Msymiss, gave great satisfaction and
10 some OF the sceues, her acting ELECTED the
heartiest demonstrations of applause. Mr.. L.
f. boys, as Col May, Mr.. H. w. Maynard, a.
Matthew Leigh, and Mr.. Burton Adams, as
bonburg kobb, were excellent, and the re-
naming characters were remarkably well sus-
tanned. AS whole, the performance was one
of great success
On account of the rain, the audience was
smaller last evening than it otherwise would
have been. The managers have determined to
present Rosedale for two nights longer, on this
aud to morrow evening, and we trust that the
hall will be crowded on both evenings.
