The Globe Theatre.

The theatrical season was opened last night very
successfully at this house. AS was fitting, the
season was ushered In by the lighter skirmishing
OF the variety corps, and If we may judge by the
rush of the public, there was real want for some
place where amusement could be obtained.
Most OF the names on the bill are already known
to fame, and as the Old time avorites appeared on
the stage they met immediate and warm recogni-
tion. Among these John and Bob Hart, Nelse sey-
mour, John Queen and Miss Maggie Gray came
in for hearty and merited welcome. The enter
tanment Is exceedingly varied, and was much
reshed by the crowded audience that hned the
house from pit TO dome. The upper portions es-
pecally were flied IN a way that must have been
quite trying for the occupants; but, fortunately
the cold spell allowed them TO bear the crush with
equanimiGy. The performance began with
the domestic sketch entitled THE Two Pudd
loots" which gave Mr.. Ketchum opportu-
nifty to display his wonderful mobility OF
features. 1t, however, was, on the whole,
rather tresome, and the management would do
well to replace IL by something brighter Indeed,
1t was with a sense OF relief that we saw the ebon
face Of that renowned and mighty orator bob Hart
appear at the wings, pleasure that was increased
when he proceeded to deliver his very learned ad-
dress on the an tiqulty OF man and the connection
between Darwin and the monkey. Having

Cast OF Boucicault's New Drama.
The distribution Of the characters in the new
American play, to be produced at Booths Theatre
on next Monday evening, Is very judicious one
and gives promise of a perfect representation. All
the artists engaged were at rehearsal yesterday
and Mr.. Bouccault expressed himself as extremely
well satisfied with each lady and gentleman, and
predicted an enormous success for the piece. The

Mr.. Warde is OF the London theatres, from which
he comes with an excellent reputation He has
never appeared in America. Mr.. ). Bolton is from
the Boston Museum where ne recently made an
Impression In the character Of David Copperfed.
Mr.. Mackey Is capital general actor, and is con-
ceded to be the finest "Old man" on the American
stage. His assumption OF the part OF "Stonewall"
Jackson IN the piece will give rise TO pleasant an
tcipations, or while it Is not strictly within his
line, 1t Will a10rd him wide scope for display Of
his peculiar powers IN what In the profession is
called character acting" Mr. LIE Ciercq, brother
to the hagedienne, CarlOtta LIE Cercq, was leading
man at the Grand Opera House last season. Mr..
Irving Is Of the Pittsourg theatres and is said to
be first rate eccentric comedian. Miss X Rogers
Randolph Is better known to the metropolis as
Miss Katharine Rogers The part of Isabel Lamar
is an emotional one, and this Will peculiarly suit
MISS Rogers style. The many striking situations
in which she will appear VIII afford ner rare Op-
portunlties for display OF her ability as an act
ress. The impression made by Mr.. McCullOugh's
acting at Booths last season Is one not soon to be
removed, and as "Belle LAMAR was written ex-
pressy ior him, 1t Is alr to presume that he will,
as PhIp Blgn, be seen to the greatest advantage.
