The Theater.
There was a large and brilliant audi
ence at the Theater last night, it being
the third appearance of Mr.. Raymond
in the title role OF "ColoDel Mulberry
Sellers" the play and character Of
which derive their attraction and inter
est from the perfect and life-like
Interpretation given by this actor. In
every sense Mr.. Raymond commands
tie feelings Of the entire audience; for
to the representatives of every class in
society, does he make himself intensely
interesting. Either Colonel Mulberry
SelleIo' WIS maOG LOT IkaN IuuDO, OE ne
was designed by nature for this role.
Perhaps no man on the American stage
will ever be able to render this character
with such unique sptness, and con.
tinuous interest and satisfaction as Mr..
Raymond. And in this respect "Col-
onel Mulberry Sellers" stands singulariy
slo0f ard distinct from all others claims,
belonging entirely to Raymond, as much
so, if, indeed, the comparative or absO.
Lutte merits Of the play allow, as Grip
Van Wrinkle" and the actor who has
made it synonymous with his own name
and familiar to the world. The support
by the Abbey company is quite good,
especially in the parts assigned to the
veteran actor Mr. w. c. Could0ck, who
appears as "5i Hawking" and to Mr..
Hart Conway, ''the adopted son. Mr..
Couldock's excellence as an actor is well
known. or Mr.. Conwsy we can say
thsth is decidedly a careful, yet bold aud
precise actor, VIII SO future will hardly
be less brilliant than his many friends
could desire. Tonight and tomorrow
night will be the only opportunities TO
witness Mr.. Raymond in this play, and,
Of course, the Thf alter will be crowded.
