Pindfore. --This celebrated play was
presented by our Bristol amateurs, to a
$40 house last Friday evening at Con-
way Hall. SO well pleased WAS the au-
dience that its repetition was unavoida-
bic. Accordingly on Saturday evening
it was repeated to n fair house. The
second evening 1t was decidedly better
played than on the first one, and this is
saying good deal, for we have never
pleased one than that of Friday. The
absence Of Mrs. Writ. Turner, the lead
cr Of the chorus was much regretted, as
she Is one Of the finest singers In the
country, and would attract, rs such, the
admiration Of any audience In the cities.
1t Ia hoped she will be well enough for
the next appearance Of this admirable
company, which we learn, will be at
Conway Hall next Wednesday evening,
The principal masculine characters
were DR.. Jas. Dunn as Capt Corcoran,
Mr.. +. Humphreys as Ralph Rackstraw,
Mr.. ". Lancaster as Dick Deadeye, and
Mr.. Jere Bunting MS Sir Joseph Porter.
DR.. Dunn sings well, and acts his part
with ease and dignity, his fnc person
adding much to the effectiveness Of the
character. Humphreys played the love-
sick swain admirably, and sang well,
his handsome appearance, finally as
Capt. of the Pinuiore, brought down
the house. Wilmer Lancaster played
Dick Deadeyc to perfection. Jcre
Bunting, by his excellent "make up"
completely atoned for his seeming natu-
raj lack Of adaptation to the character, In
physique. lie was graceful and sang
very finely. There was an air Of ease
and naturalness about win Pepper ms
"Bill Bobstay" that brings up at once
the typical sailor, In ones mind. His
voice Is clear and distinct. Messrs. Wm
Roberts, james Templeton and Master
Peter Ruhl, acted well and deserve u
mention, which their characters are not
likely to elicit, for though essential to
the play, are not specially conspicuous.
The leading female characters were
Misses Lizzie Plcken, ms Josephcne,
Nelly Ruhl rs Little Buttercup, and
Mi1r'o Bunting rs Ilebe. Miss Picken
has .ho airy graceful figure essential to
the character she Sings well, the clear
ness OF her voice making up for what II
lacks IN strength. Miss Ruhl as Little
Buttercup ga, n success. Her lmper-
sonation IA n Gypby girl, could not easl-
ly be improved. 10 Is only In the second
act that she appears to best advantage.
Miss Munle Bunting toward the close
OF the play has an opportunity to exhib-
It her special character, and being quite a
good singer, rs wei as h'ring an elegant
costume, furnishes u pleasing surprise to
the audience. Mrs. Finch as leader, In
the absence OF Ara. 1drner, does re-
markably well. bhc too Is u fine singer,
and, alhSugh acting merely In The
cliorua always attracts the pleased atlcn-
tion Of INC 'Uune. Misses Branch kce-
bier hollle O'Kccfe, and llally Turner,
