and beautiful play of "Col. Willoughby" was
repeated last evening at this theater with
much more success than on its first repre-
sentation. It is q good play, magni6csntly
mounted and very we'll acted throughout.
Among the most successful renditions of the
cast is the part of Isaac Wider. a patriarchal
convict, which is acted by Mr.. Morton with
great effect, and entities him to a full share
of the praise lavished upon the performance
generally. Mr. Chipman's representa- ion Of
the unthankful part of Polecat a convict spy,
is deserving of praise The leading charac-
ters are all we'll acted, as we have already
stated, and we may say en- passdnt that this is
generally the best acted play OF the season.

of the theater, while the play has been q fine
one, deserving of packed houses. Our people
pretend to anxiously desire good plays. elegant

their wishes are complied with they express
so little substantial recognition.
The same play will be repeated until further
notice.

curtain rose, the parquette and dress circle
were crowded, and the entire house became
thronged when the orchestra commenced.
As on the previous evening, Messrs Harrigan
& Hart acquitted themselves in their usual
thorough and artistic manner, every character
they assumed being marked by that care and
close study which evidences the conscien-
cious actor.
Thor side-play was here and there worthy
of actors who have attained national celebrity,
and their comical situations so laughable,

These gentlemen have struck lucky chord
in bringing out their new feature of present

"G9th" has met with reception their won
