THAAffH.
a,nd. Is by no means the best. His Joshua
p.,,,y3y ~ Is not marked by the dcltcaey and the
s,shoration OF details which SO distinguish the
ssaracter as represented by Mr. Owens; his Dose
:. u5arrfed Life'' is exaggerated and
an,cc,d " in reprehcnsible manner; and his
IT,; WELLINGTON de Boots is not what the same
aart bas been in the hands OF Mr.. J. S. Clarke.
b. in snte Of the shortcomings Of Mr., Dillon,
h. has bccn and still remains favorisc with
,ho ch,cago publc. We think he should rccoEs-
nizc tle fact that lie is as much indebted to thai
a,h1;c as it is to him. Nowhere else
aoes be secure the same popular support
.hat hc does here; nowhere else is
he 60 tenderly treated BY the press,
nowhere else, it may with all slncerlty oe salc'
l. he held in such affcctionate remembrance.
Ne feel that he belongs to US. His d'sappolnt-
n,ents are, in a measure, ours bis successes oc-
li.ht us; his welfare, both professional ana per-
snnsl, is near to cur syn,pathles. Since the pu'-
liz a<,orGs so much to Mr.. Dillon OH purely sen
tjmental grounds, it has the right to demand
concessions from him. It has the right to DC
mand respectful treatment, whether TIE aual-
encc in the theatre happens to be large or small;
yct VIC do not think he is respectful when lie
f,IrraI}y upays'' one of EucEstone's comedies,
or when he introduces into iarcc aissust-
fng slang, The ou]y cX"use ws4lch It IS
nnSsible to offer for Mr.. Dalon's interpretations
last week is that lie has been playing before
cmntry audiences, by whom the roughcst anu
coarsest hurnor has been the most highly rel
isLed, He ought however, i he y1cids at ali 70

fcreut method oi treatment Tor tue clts* for
tho rest, the performances at iioo'ey;s since
Tuesday night have been highly en!oyaole.

A new comedy, with the above title, by
Leonard Grover, is to be presented at Hooley's
Theatre to morrow night. Alr. Growers essays
in the field Of dramatic literature 1lavc so far
comprised e Cape May Diamonds" u two-act
comedictta, prepared for the late Dan Setchc!l;
nTrcasure Troyc,'' drama produced with con-
siderable success in New York; "Lispct,"
which will be remembered from its recent pro-
duction here, and, In addition, two or three
burlesaucs. The story Of this last venture
"Our Boarding House." Is presented thus:
