"vrRarxIus."-Ths play of "virgiuius'
was presented in the Opera House las
night 10 large audience Of cultivated
people. Mr.. John Mccullough appeared
in the character Of "Virginius," and b.
his success in the part, at once justified
the high reputation which had preceded
him.
The character is grandIy written, ant
BY Mr.. Mccullough conceived, we think
in the proper spirit We naturally asso
ciate the Roman with character Lofty
and dignifed, ard thus "virginius" il
portrayed, but its classical simplicity anG
severity continually shows as it is ftIy
called out By surroundings, the deep al
lection OF a great nature, the unaffected
and, by contrast, almost playful tender
ness Of the father, with such delicious
CLEANS OF humor, as rather enhanced the
dignity Of the heroic figure.
Mr.. Mccullough has stalwart, mus,
cular frame, and exhibited in every Inca
ment and motion aud fibre the quality oi
action, and nervous force animating mus
cular power. 1t Is muscle, however, il
subordination TO feelings, and directed by
mind and rare and delicate good taste
in the expression Of feelings.
The leading part was we'll supported
BY Mr.. Mines Levick, "a "Icilius," and
Miss Eleanor Carey as "Virginia." They
are both actors Of great merit. Tonight
"The Gladiator" DR.. Birds great TRACE
dy, and one Of Mr.. McCullOugh's greatest
plays, will be produced.
