evening:
Last night the Theatre Regal was opened
for a short season under the management
of Mr.. Robb. The principal attraction was
the appearance of Master Percy Koselie.
who was supported by very good company.
No change can be observed on young HOS
Gus since his last visit to this place, about
two wears ago; but his extraordinary pow
ers have been matured and his experience
considerably increased, though even there
very little was left to be desired. His YER
satility was we'll brought ont III the pieces
selected for last night. The manner in
which ne played the part OF Richard the
Third was most wonderful. The reading OF
the text was careful and ludiclous, and
given with an intelligence and force which,
astonishing in one SO young, would have
been well worthy of praise'in one of ripper
wears The farce OF the "FOur MowDrays y
was the other piece selected for the young
aspirant. and if he appeared to advantage
in the tragedy. he was still more fortunate
in his representation of the different char
acters of the young Mowbrays. Every mo-.
ton was free and uneOnstrained, and
whether in the portrayal of the sentimental
and highly ingenious boy-of which we sup
pose Master Roselle is rare speclmen-0t
the military youth, the glutton or the Top,
he was at once effective and graceful. lie
was frequently applauded, and received a
hearty call before the curtain at tie con
