FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE RICHARD III. F"

While the play of Richard III" did not draw large
house at the Fifth Avenue Thcatre last night as it
deserved, the performance. far as Mr.. Booth is
concerned. was in every way worthy of the rcputa-
ton of great actor Indeed. IL may be ranked
chief among his artistic of the season,
because IL afforded him opportunity to
pcrsonate phases of character In which the subtest
OF action was necessary to illustrate the worst Of
human passions. 1t Is true that the version Of the
tragedy played last night differs in many
spccts from that with which old thcatre-gocrs
are familiar, portions Of the original text being
omitted and changes being made in the ar
rangemcnt of some Of the scenes. The compiler
excuses this alteration with the remark that the
objections to Colley Cibber's version are that the
latter made innovations which contained cheap
theatrical language unworthy of association with that
of Shakespeare. and lowering Shakespeare .

ster of cruelty. devoid Of sardonc, bitter
and piteous self-mockery. and destitute Of

enacted by Mr.. Booth, represents Richard am

poses; equally ready TO sacrifice friend foe.

and no r,,shcs to death with desperation and re-
morse that seems the just result Of mother =
curse and his own crimes. Mr.. Booth,
in interpreting these phases first Of Glosters and
then OF Richards nature, acted admirably. Every
look smile and crafty glance of eye, aud every hate
ful compression OF his expressive mouth told the
story of heart burdened with the herccst OF pas
sions, t. which he gave not one nstants truce.
The consequence was presentation OF the
part more perfect than which has been witnessed
on the stage for many years. IL one chose to DO
hypcrcrical IL would be easy to indicate passages
that were sllrred. or at least whore emphasis
was carclcsss and susceptible of improvement; ;
but in the picture Of character so
generally excellent there is too much harmony to be
disturbed by few faults in light shade. The sup
port was not all that could be desired. Mr.. Frank

The second representation of Belini's tuneful
opera justified the good judgment of the
in reviving the work after its long slumber and in
giving it place in the seasons repertory. 1t was
sufficiently evident from the very large attendance.
from the continuous interest manifested throughout
the performance and from the favor with which
the efforts of the artists were received,
that the public only needed to be made
acquainted with the music to give the opera cordial
welcome. After its emphatic success last night it
would not be matter of surprise if it should prove
one of the strongest drawing attractions that the
present season has offered. As to the performance
the artists were all in good voice. Signor Campanni
first aroused the interest of the evening by the
first act. His voice sc dom fails to respond
to his every demand and last night ii was
simply Incompatible. Signor Gaassi has never been
eXcelled in Ricardo, and he took u ringing Hat i'll
the Liberty duet in way we have seldom heard
equaed in this number. Signor Foil has not during
the season found part which he fits SO admirably as
Giorgo. He sings the music tawlessly and he looks
the part as well he sings. The baritone and the
basso especially honored by encore after the
curtain had fallen the duo '.Suoni la tromba. =

audience to furore and the finale of the
first number was given again. The minor
parts were well rendered by Signor Grazzi.

last night by the influx of late comers. Mr.. Mapeson

his patrons real service if he would adopt the rule

formed.

GENERAL day being most
universally observed as holiday, public insti-

promptly at II m.
The reports from the cotton markets of Liv-
erpool and New York were favorable. and the
effect upon this market would have been most
marked had 1t not been that 1t was holiday.
AS 1t turned out holders were stiff In their pre-
tensions, believing that their property would
increase In value. and buyers being of an op-
posite opinion very little was done in the way
of sales. Not more than 500 bales exchanged
hands as far as we could learn.
Ia Provisions there was nothing done worthy
of mentien. and the same can be said of other
articles
COTTON-The advices from Liverpool, Havre
and New York represented cotton at those
points as firm and steady, with an advance oil
