The "OLD RELIABLE" THEATRE.-This
troupe made their first appearance be-
foro q Columbia house yesterday even
ing, at Irwin's Hall. The play was the
touching tragedy Of "East Lynne"
Helen D'Este, as Lady Isabel, displayed
rare histrionic talent. She is the star of
the company, and we'll worthy the high
encomiums she has everywhere received.
There are others Of the company,
though, who also command highly favor
able criticism. Mr.. Tannehill rendered
the part of Archibald Carlyle with great
naturalness and power. and the taunting
nonchalance Of the heartless betrayer
was admirably personated by MIR. J.. G..
Stuttz. Zoe Izola, as the irritable but
honest old scold, made herself delight
fully ridiculous.
The farce, too, was decided success,
Mr.. Tannehill being as ludicrous in
personating Dutch Peter, Us he was in
teresting in the more serious character.
Nellie Tannehill, in her anxiety for
beau, even if but a borrowed one,
brought down the house.
Tonight, will be given the thrilling
tragedy of Camille. The hall was we'll
filled last night, and there will, doubt
less, be rush for Ly Brands music store
this morning, where seats are secured.
