THE MUSEUM,
MIR. ArnOld's Rcappearance.

A large and fashionable audience gathered
at the Museum last evening TO welcome Mr..
James A. Arnold back to Portland. The play
selected for his re- appearance was "Rosedale,"
in which he assumes the part of "Eliot Grey"
one of his happiest characterizations. Of the
merits of his acting in this role much has been
said in these columns, and it is quite unneces-
sary to repeat the praise which his strong and
finished impersonation has called forth. Mr..
Arnold certainly has every reasen to be graft
fled for the very cordial and enthusiastic recep-
ton which he met with last evening His
first appearance, at the close of the first act,
was the signal for general and hearty applause,
which went on gaining in volume and power
fully five minutes, seriously impeding the
proper movement of the play. 1t seemed as
though the audience would never be done APP
plaudpg. After the curtain went down they
gave him two recalls, one being answered by
REPETITION of the closing tableau Of the act,
the other by his appearance before the curtain,
at which they broke into applause again. He
was evidently laboring under considerable agi
tation, and in a few broken words returned his
thanks for the generous reception. He then
had been tossed up to him. At every succeed
ing appearance during the play the applause
was renewed.
The other noteworthy events of the evening
were the hearty receptions accorded to Miss
Ulmer and Messrs Snyder and Curtis Miss
Ulmer's first appearance was greeted with a
hearty round of applause, aud she retired tri-
umphantly bearing bouquet which was hand
ed to her from the front. Mr.. Snyder was well
coined with several rounds of applause, which
gave evidence that he stood high in the appre-
citation of his audience. His strong and effec-
tive impersonaton of Miles M Kenna entities
him to appreciative recognition.
There were but few changes in the caste of
the play, and these were not always for the
Better Miss Ulmer took the leading lady's
part, Lady Florence" something quite out of
her business. but in viii ,h she acquitted her
self we'll, certainly doing it better than it was
done before Miss Waldron took the sou5rette
role, Rosa Leigh" In this she was scarcely
so successful as when she attempted the imper-
sonation some weeks since, failing to give the
needful vivacity to the part and acting appar-
emily under some restraint. One missed In the
bandaging scene that graciousness of manner
and dizziness of hand proper to it. The re-
Election cannot help suggesting itself that in
the two characters, LADY Florence and
Rosa, the caste would be benefited by a
transposition. The Colonel May" OF Mr..
Sutherland is the best characterization which
that actor has yet given us, and deserves es
pecial mention. The Sergeant" of Mr..
Adams is also worthy of commentator.
'Rosedale' will be repeated this evening.
Tomorrow, at matinee and evening perform
ances, ''The Marble Heart will be given.
