Pipsr's opera House.

sndish at Pipers' Opera House. The
play was the "Nsw Msgdalsn," with
Miss Cavsndish As Mercy Msrrick
aud T. W. Kssns as the parsou,
Julien Gray; and the house was
crowded. These two characters are
the ones round which nearly all the
interest Of the play csnters and nothing
better than their enactment last evening
could be asked. Mercy Merrick 10 not
one OF Miss Cavendish's strongest
characters, but il 10 certainly one
OF her best. There il not .
point in the whole presentation
Of il by Miss Csvsndish which
is not rounded to q perfect fullness and
which is not at the same time easy,
natural and perfect. Mr.. Keens has
done much good playing during the
present engagement and has personsted
widely different characters and done
il ably I; but he has done nothing
better. and appeared in nothing to better
advantage than as Julian Gray in the
..Nev Msgdalen." A irst.class parson
was spoiled when he took to the stage
instead OF the pulpit. Tonight "AIiss
awilt'' will be given. and with II the en-
aseement OF Miss Cavendish will close.
Tomorrow evening Mr.. Ksene will
take a benefit at which be will appear ~
