era House was filled to OVERLOOKING
last night, on the occasion OF the pre-
s~cntation OF Dion B%oucicault's celc-
brated play, entitled Hunted Down."
followed by the delightful comedy. en-
titled Rough Diamond" The open-
ing piece was placed upon the stage la
superb style, aud gave general salts
faction. Miss Katherine Rogers per-
sonstion Of the character OF Mary
Leigh was enjoyable Ia the highest de-
cree. Lady Glencarrlg was admlra-
bly, rendered by Miss Kate Denim.
Miss Belle Douglas kept tho audience
conyuls-d with laughter with her very
fellcltous aud mirth.provoking enact
ment Of tho character OF Mrs. Jones.
John Leigh. a thoroughbred villain,
was perssnated to perfection by Mr..
Cocgswell. The aillictions which Mary
Leigh was called upon to undergo,
while being hunted down. were de.
picted with such life-liko fidelity that
az one time Miss Rogers had nearly
her whole audience In tears. The play
from beginning to end was entertain
Ing In tile highest degree. At Its con-
cluslon tho orchestra favored the audi.
encc with some exquisltely beautiful
operatic airs. after which came the
comedy. entitled the Rough Dia-
mond," which might be regarded As
the dessert to the feast which had just
concluded. Miss Rogers. In the char
acter Of Margery, surprised her audi.
ence with her wonderful versatility and
demonstrated the fact that she was at
home In comedy rs well as In tragedy.
Everybody In attendance fell Ia love
directly with the unsophisticated and
eccentric Margcry. Maurice Pike, a.
Cousin Joe, carried tho house by
storm. The vericst hypochondriac
could not refrain from laughing ut his
inimltablo drollery. This was tho
finest effort we have seen on the part
Of Mr.. Pike, aud establishes his repu-
tation rs q comedian OF the choicest Or
der. Mr.. Billings distinguished him
self In the character OF Lord Plato.
The expression noticeable on his coun-
tenance whenever matters go cross-
grained is ludicrous In the extreme.
Sir william Evergreen was done splen-
,Iidly by Mr.. Marden. We will only
add In conclusion that we hope, before
the engagement OF the present compa'
nv closes, they will favor our theater-
