A correspondent of Boston paper says:
The critics have attacked Miss Give al
most unanimously, because she dared to
play Constance and Juliet without having
a regular dramatic training. All the actress
ses are down on her, as they are upon any
lady who dares to act without having work
ed her way from the lowest round of the
ladder. Miss Gives husband is cripple;
she has large family; she has tried various
walks in the arts, without success, for the
benefit Of her family; she thinks she can
acl; so think her friends, and so do mana
gers-for here she is in big theatre With q
long engagement. Despite the jealous ac-
tresses and actors, l say she is clever wo-
man, and viii do. Actors sre the most
jealous people under the sun. Miss Give
will outliVe their opposition and make
name.
