"Jane Eyre" was acted at the Academy
last night, Miss Katie Putnam appearing III
the title role. This young actress, excellent
in SO Many characters, does not look like
the ideal Jane Eyre, whose beauty of mind
must have shone in her face, and affected
her manner to refinement, to have won the
love of fastidious Lord Rochester. The story
is familiar to us all, and is consistent with
all of the BrOnte novels, wherein a young
girl has only to 6e fond of books to be very
poor and friendless, and governess, to
marry the best catch in the land. MIR. j. f.
Nugent was the Rochester, and he gave an
excellent performance of that peculiar char
acter. Mrs. s. A. Nash, the lady who plays
old women with the Putnam combination,
gave most perfect picture, in dress and ac-
ton, of Judith Harleigh.
