AiMUSEMENTA
At. Charles Theatre.

Man and Wife" was the play 1T this
theatre last night, and it drew an excellent
audience. The story and the play are tam
liar to most of our readers, and its priuci-
pal points wherein the hero is depicted as a
man who has educated Eis muscle to the
neglect Of the finer qualities of humanit :,
who becomes cultured brute, and the
heroine who lives OYER the old. old story,
trusting and wronged, and incidents which
illustrate the pecularities of the Scottish
law regarding marriage contracts, need not
be enumerated here. The play was well put
upon the stage, and carefully and naturally
acted throughout by the members OF MIR.
Furhish's fine comedy combination. GeCvrey
UelQmusn is a character well suited to Mf.
Boniface's style of acting, and his fine
physique. He gave il n truthful and forci-
BILE representation. The part Of Apne Syi-
pes.er fell to Miss George Langley, and the
bright face and unsteady pathetic voice OF
this excel. mt leading lady won the entire
audience in her favor. The stage has no
better representative Sir Pa!rick Lu,dfe
than Mr.. George Ryer, who was the blunt,
fatherly old lawyer to the lie. Mr.. Harry
Hawk il also deserving OF praise tor the
manner in which he played EisAopr'5gs. =.
