THE DRAMA.
MIR OWENS In BROOKLYN.

Those who love laughter, and can discern the
beauties Of art through the flowing draperies OF ur'h
will not fail we should think, 10 improve TIE opportu
plty now at hand of seeing Mr. Owens ON the Brooklyn
sage The one thing OF which the spectator Is always
,ure who sees his impcrsonations is enjoyment; and
the artistic taste, which looks beyond enjoyment, Is
equally sure Of finding spirit form and finish In these
1rorks OF art Mr. owens is acting MiddleUtcL, in
Mr. Byron's comedy OF "Our BOys;" and he mas
found in this character. an ample and cOngcnia!
medium for the expression alike of his rich humor ana
OF ms versatile and precise skill in depicting eecenc
individuality. There is the joyous freshness OF spon-
tancous ease in this achievement, which denotes some
thing done by artist who delights in his work. and
there is the symmetry Of form which crysaizes out OF
countless little details OF action demeanor, dress and
facial play animated and directed by clear central
motive. The rosy ease and the Inevitable GER
tanty with which this Middleric"s comnonness
OF quality blunGers into the tangles OF
polite custom are the springs OF the humor'
while the passionate sincerity with which the old butter
man continues to be unconsciouy dro through all his
emotions Of wounded love- pride, and anger is the fiber
OF the character Mr.. Owens cOnceves Mddicrick as
man OF strong intelligence and sensitive feelings with
odd externas raspy blunneSs and the yaregated V
garty which springs from commoDness OF blood and
the atmosphere Of the shop Inherent goodness
checks this vugarity on this side OF coarse
ness; but Inherent deicacy is altogether. and
properly omitted. The scw's ear is made
aean but 1t is the sOws ear-and IL is wagged and
happed in an exceedingly dro manner To the humor
OF MI Owens there is need OF present testimony; nor,
for that matter does his art need recognition This
comedian however truly honor to our stage and
sjoy to our public that his assumption of new charac-
ter-even when it presents no very dstinctivey new
view Of his nature and facutes-shoud the passing
tr.bute Of record. He received. last
night With many marks OF favor by considerable as
semblage at the Brooklyn Theater-where he takes a
benefit this evening. In the cast Of "Our Roys" Mrs
Sol Smith notably good the servant, and Mr. Clsude
Burroughs gives the ginger Of fresh and crisp though
not yet sufficiently delicate mellow STYLE 20 the utter
