THEATEs. Last night, at Hanlys
theater, the "Sea of Ice" was presented
to fair house, on the occasion of the
benefit of VIM. T. G. Dudley. The play
itself requires all the scenic effect that
can be produced on first.class stage. to
make it agreeable. Our theatrical com.
pany was therefore somewhat at q disad-
vantage, though the scenery was certainly
the best that we have yet had in Phoebe.
Dudley, in the part of the bold william, did
some very good acting. We thought him
better in the latter part Of the play, after
he had assumed the character of the Mar
in the death scene than
in the former part. &. F. Bird was, as
usual, favorite with the audience. His
of the true hearted sailor, the
faithful follower of the Little Captain,
to the end was very pleasing. Bella Bird
did not fail to excite repeated applause.
Her acting also-and we may remark the
same of nearly all the others-seemed
more life-like in what we may call the
second part of the play, than in the first.
We should also mention Miss Ella Phil
Ups and Mr.. John Mcguire, MS deserving
If credit. .F u.I
