RIdSoID.- George Rignold, the well
known English actor, commenced ashort
engagement at the Opera House last
evening 10 "Henry w Notwilhstand.
ing The heavy rain which fell in the early
part Of the evening a fashionable audi
ence, which filled all the lower part oil
the house, assembled to give him welcome.
The play was put on the stage in good
style, although necessarily cramped for
room on account Of the great amount Of
scenery used. There are several efec.
tive tableaux, the most prominent oil
which are the battle Of Agtncourt
and the Kings entry into London upon
hia celebrated white charger "Crispin.n
These tableaux were produced with all
the scenery and mechanical effects used
in Mr.. .Rignolds engagement in New
York, and were OF course much admired
by the audience.
Mr.. Reynolds conception Of the part Of
Henry Y was broad and noble; he seeks
apparently TO win admiration by
sheer force Of genins alone, and without
resort 10 any Of the meretritious means,
which are only TOO common with
actors OF the present time. What he
has won, has been by talent alone, and
his conscience ia clear Of any violations
Of artistic ethics as are the constant
practice OF almost every actor now prom.
%inentlY before the public.
The support was admirable, and the
only unpleasant feature OF the evenings
entertainment was the execrable music
contributed by tho orchestra. This was
no fault Of Mr.. Rignoll'a, however.
All the bands In the city had been
engaged TO play at Easter Monday
balls, and no music could he obtained
here, so an effort was made TO Eur an
orchestra in Pittsburgh, with like success.
AS last resort several amateurs from
Bellaire were brought here, and no doubt
did the best they could, but that "best"
was r terrible inliclion upon both per-
formers and the audience. Tonight,
when "Henry v" will be repeated Kra-
mer will furnish the music, which an
nouncement alone is sufficient TO saiiSfy
all that there will be no reason 10 com.
plain on that score this evening.
