FANNY NIARsHs THEATRE. --Tho play OF
''The New Magdalen" will be withdrawn after
the matinee to-day, and this evening the
patrons of this place of amusement will have
the pleasure of seeing Mr.. Gossin and Miss
Marsh in the roles of Claude and Pauline
respectively in the beautiful play of the
Lady of Lyons" 1t is to be given in an
exceptionally fine manner and the house should
be crowded. To add to the attraction, Miss
Marsh offers one of her photographs to every
lady attending.
On Monday evening Rose Eytinge, the popu-
lar star, will commence short engagement at
this theatre. Miss Eytinge has just closed a
very successful engagement at the Boston
Museum. The Globe, in speaking of her
appearance there, says:
The audience which welcomed Miss Rose
Eytinge as a "stai" to the Boston stage last
evening was very good in point of size, and
largely representative of the best class or
theatre-goers in this city. Miss Eytinge's, ap-
pearanCe. indeed, has been looked forward to
as one of the chief events of the dramatic
season. The ladys reputation, both among
the critics and the general public, has been
ranked so high elsewhere that Boston has felt
great desire TO Judge for itself of her much
lauded acting Miss EytiDge's rentree last
evening has given sufficient proof that the
actress abilities are worthy of nearly every
word of praise that has been given them. The
artste appeared in the drama, Rose Michel
which calls for most Intense acting in the title
role to carry i: through with success. Miss
Eytinge ennobles the drams, and fairly lifts il
from all commonplace, by grand i'm persona
ton. She possesses one of the most mobile
and intelligent of faces. la LOOK as we'll as in
action the individuality of the actress is merged
in the character. The changing expire ssions of
love, rage and devotion, which pass over her
countenance. are ia themselves a study. So
far as look and carriage are concerned, Miss
Eytnge realizes the part of the unhappy
mother to perfection. And yet in all the care
ful elaboration of the rendition there is not the
least hint of the Notwithstanding to sug
gest the preparation, without which such
piece OF acting could never be- The lady's
performance most happily unites naturalness
with art, SO far as manner aud method are con-
cerned. Miss Eytinee's style of acting too, is
large and liberal, aud her voice Is mus cal and
pleasant Perhaps, in the quieter scenes of the
play. it did not give the best possible expression
to the words of the part. But in the scene
when the murder by her husband was dis
covered, in the closing act and denouement,
and, above ALL in the interview between mother
and daughter in the inn kitchen, the actress
gave to the words of the play electric power.
The oldest theatre-goers were moved by such
intense acting to unwonted heartness in ap-
plause, and Miss EytiDge was called before the
curtain in response to most imperative call.
