MoOLEY's T1IEAT1tE.
Monday evening Mr. uooley'a company pro-
ducod Edmund Ealconor's charming comedy,
''Mon Of tile Day." This sparkling drama lad
alroady been Played during the engagement Of
Edwin Adams ut McVicker'B Thoatro, and rms
discussed generally at tho time. II aboun1s In
Incidents aud situations OF the most delightful
character, and, al before romnrkod. ont OF it's
rich ntoro half dozen Of the comedies Of tie
day could bo constructed. Iss cliof
beauty lies iu tho dialogue, which, in
Its keennoss, polah, and bril!ianoy, st,rpassoB
that Of almost any ycontemporancons production.
Another point Of superiority H tho fact that it's
incidents, while scarcely those of everyday life,
occur to characters Of everyday experience whilo
its plot is wholly above the atmosphere Which
opprcsBea tho modern stage. Tho author Was al
occontric porson, md eccontricity is allod to
genius. Ile has groupod. with rare judgment and
tLat which might ho called the Granger elcuacnt
Of to-day, to tho advantage Of both. He has not
hositated to point out tho Teak points Of both,
nor thoir good ones. md above ull ho has Btlc-
ceedod in reactaing down to aud laying baro tho
groundwork Of human nature underlying them
I'LL, without violation to experience or
possibility. In the plot thoro IL great ingenuity
displayed ; in its Development unusual fertility
| Of Invention. Tho purpose holds without ini-
prcsslng Quo too heavily, for it il relieved by an
army Of genuine dranlatio aurprisos and pleas
! utos which auluse and interest. It would do
modern playwriglts good to study such pieces
nttentiyaly Il only to be impressed with tho ne-
| lillaa for tho mere object Of padding.
Tho playing throughout was rAthor uneven.
Its chief defect was TO be found in tho fact that
tho STAGE manager had not Buperintcnded rol,ears-
tlair tat.i parts "a va % shall not not specify ~ tho b,
offenders, becauee the misfortune was thoilB
~ we'll az that OF the audience.
