tive audience. Many Of those in at
tendance had seen him on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights in the same role, and
yet they laughed and enjoyed the play
quite as much as they did at first. Ia.
deed seeing "DHndreary" but one time
is not sufficient. There are scores Of
good points that you fail to discover or
appreciate until you have Witnessed the
play again and again. At first you get
q general idea of it, but afterward you
secure it in detail. Toe im~psrsonation
Of the role by Mr.. Sothern is one of the
foeat pieces OF acting that is presented
on the American stage. 1t is perfect in
detail aud most carefully rendered. The
audience last night thoroughly enjoyed
the portrayal Of "Dundreary." Tonight
there will be q change Of bill, and A

singer" will be presented. This is said
to be a most laughable farce, Astounding
in ep'grammatic and witty dialogues, as
well as good and effective situations. At

Cousin will be repeated and at night Mr..
Sothern will bid us adieu in Dundreary
