The subject Of this sketch, a Gentleman
weil-known 10 all the profession. is now
playing an engagement with the Wyndham
Co medy Company. at the st. Charles
| Theatre He has for long time attracted
the nct tee of the public and press by his
wonderful deIineations and superb manner
of acting.
He of course has a history. Every man
has history, but few have such TO-
mantle incidents connected with their
| life as an actor man who lives on the
"slings and arrows OF capriciOus fortune a
man who fights against the jealousy and
envious feelings OF his fellow actors: Il
man OF talent and a!nb;tior-le is more
| than an ordinary individual. Such men,
ike Fitzpatrick, deserve al the praise that
can be bestowed upon him,
He made his first appearance or the
boards in leading theatre in Edinburgh
as !. call BOY. From that his ambition took
another course. He swaved from his former
aspirations and. undertook to do scenic
worl-a knight of the brush. l. this espe
ciaI branch he rose high in the estimation
OF theatrical managers, and his services
were sought for by almost every manager
IN Lon don. lie continued IL this business
for a number of years, when his histrionc
abilities woD the confidence OF several lead
ing managers, who gave HIN small en-
gagements, and after few wears OF hard
study he succeeded N obtaining al engage
ment in 1868 as leading man IL the Slrrey
Theatre, London. which position he filed
with great success, winning the affection
and esteem of all who witnessed lis per
fogmances.
Often successfully playing at all the
theatres in London and Europe, he sup
ported Fechter in the LJceum Theatre
London. THIS so brought the gentleman
INTO public notice that he was sought for by
mana gers i'll this country; but Mr.. Nynd-
ham, with characteristic shrewduess, Sc
cured his services, and brought him to this
country.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick is q scholarly actor. He
is possessed Of much merit Ec is eloquent
and handsome, and is a great tavOrite
among TIE ladies. He has strong voice,
and can fill" the largest house with his
voice In bis several specait;es he las no
equal, and there is not tie least doubt that
he will become one of the finest stars in
the wclld.

The Wyndham Comedy Company.

Last evening the new comedy Oh
''Friends" was again appreciated by crit
ical audience. and the verdict most 2ener-
ally given at the termination OF the per-
Torrance was that the Wyndhan Comedy
Company was the best exponent OF the
modern drama that New Orleans had ever
witnessed.
The expense entailed on Mr. Wyndham
bv such an experiment must be enormous.
It must be remembered that each member
of this talented company is an artist who
has won the highest honors the stage OF
England can afford, viz: London engage
ment at West End theatre. Their names
there are household words in the mouth Of
every playgoer, and tits easy to understand
that such people will not leave their native
country, the home Of all their successes, to
risk their chances elsewhere. without ample
recompense. To import such constella-
ton of talent, at his own expense, shows an
amount of pluck and energy that deserves
reward That he will have no reason ultl
mately to regret it we feel sure.
There is a community of refined taste
among the American public that will gradu-
ally gather around him. Already, in the
larger cities Of the States has it become the
fashion to attend the representations OF the
Wyndhams. the first, best and most enlight
ened people going who are scarcely. if ever
drawn to the theatre by any other stellar
attraction, while the galleries are light;
and it is quite safe to predict that before
very Ion. time, throughout the country the
Wyndham Comedy Company will rank IN
favor with the opera That Mr.. Nynd-
hams season here this year has been so dis
astrous, should not discourage him. On
the occasion of his former visits he met with
a most substantial pecuniary reward, but
there is at present blight, we suppose.
upon affairs theatrical
Few ATTRACTIONS have this season gone
away with their pockets full, and our pop
ulation should look to it that they do not
lose the reputation they have earned Of
being so good theatrical public that it was
worth travelling so many hundred of miles
to get to New Orleans. The city that has
few or Indifferent amusements is in fair
way to lose all visitors: and it should not
ba recorded against us that such refined,
hirh-class. and what is more to the purpose.
expensive amusements as the opera and
the present subject of this article should be
losers by visiting lis.
This evening grand bill The "Lancers"
and "Ours" will be given as tho farewell
performance.

The Opera Of the Prophet.

There was another fine house last evening
to witness the second rendition OF the
"Prophet" This opera, to our mind is the
least interesting of all the productions of
Meyerbetr. The music is heavy, and, aside
from ~ scenic effects and 9 few ar:as, there
is little to exhilerate or arouse much en-
thusiasm in the listener. We sincerely
hope it has been sung for the last time this
season, and we should not be sorry i it
never was sung again.
About all the interest concentrates on
the character of Jean, taken by Nj. Della
branche. He was in fine voice. and in the
third and fourth acts received great APP
plause for his singing and acting. The role
is difficult one, requiring, besides artistic
cultivation, great powers of endurance, in
both Of which; Mr.. Delabranche stands
among the great tenors of the world.
| Miss Levilli makes beautiful Bertha,
and sings well whatever is given her. The
fides of Miss Cocktails, is not very striking.
She is sadly lacking in dramatic talent, and
can boast but little in the way of annsic"l
voice. though she had considerable power.
Messrs. Dumestre and Coulon and Jourdan,
IN Their respective roles of NuHjSen, Zacharie
and Jonas. made all that can be made of
them. They are subordinate characters at
best. The chOruses were not very evenly rem
dered, indeed, some of them were very
badly sung, both as regards time and tune.
Tomorrow night Mr. Solve, the pleasing
light BARITONE of the troupe, takes a benefit.
The opera selected for the occasion is
Faust" and Mr.. Deabranche and Msaa,ne
