THE COMING SECRETARY-Inqui-y OF

HENRY V AT THE NArIoSAL.-Tt was an
| nouaced in THE STAR yesterday that the
4 actor Rignold was too Ill 10 appear IN King
| Henry V at the National last night Unac-
countably no notification of this illness had
been sent To Mr.. Ford, and the hrst infor-
/ nation he received of 10 was through THE
\ STAR when he was on his way to Baltimore.
1 He jumped off the train at the navy yard
and hurried back to the theater TO ind that
/ they knew nothing there of Mr.. Rignold's in
| ability to appear. Had Mr.. Ford been first
advised OF the fact he could have coupled
4 the announcement with the information
| that Mr. Collier would appear, and further
/ could have given that actor some hours time
/ to study his part. AS IL was IL required all
| Mr.. FOTd's energy and veteran experience in
1 theatrical matters TO meet the emergency;
aided by the presence OF mind and quick
| action OF Mr.. Henry s. Elliott. ian old news
| paper man, who is the capable agent and
business man of Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer
In casting about for performer to take the
1 young actor who has sustained the character
OF hOt0afjoy, the French herald, seemed to
| have fine qualifications of person, voice. and
| action, and that gentleman consented upon
| an hours notice to assume without any
| study the part which RiguoId has IL is sup
| posed, made his own by long training and
| superb personal gifts.
| The play of Henry V. is put upon the stage
| so effectively by Ford that large numbers 90
| quite as much TO witness the magnificent
| general representation to see the hand-
some Rignold In the leading part; and con-
| sequently when the announcement was
| made of the substitution of Collier for that
| actor the larger part Of the audience staid
| fOr the performance, though not expecting
| much from an actor reading q part that is
| made up so much of spirited action. The
| audience was therefore first surprised and
then delighted TO find the part sustained
| with such effectiveness that they presently
| began To institute comparisons between
| Rignold and Collier, by no means unfavor-
able TO the latter. With all the disadvantages
| OF having 10 refer occasionally to the text
| many thought his rendition better than Rig
nold's- He is tall, graceful, full, OF youth
| and buoyancy, has prodigious memory and
| a great deal of nerve; all Of when qualifica-
tiOns were exemplified last night In q way
| TO elicit the enthusiastic plaudits OF the
large audience. His performance was SO
| wonderful under the circumstances that
people are rush ing for seats to- night, to get a
chance TO see the new theatrical hero that
has sprung up In an hour. With the OPP
Tortunity for q days study afforded, aud
with his wonderful memory, he will doubt
less he fully up In the text, and a most bril-
liant perfOr nance may be counted upon.
