METROPOLITAN THEATER. = The Widow
Bedott troupe drew full house last even
ing. The company is an evenly balanced
one, competent for the task it has in hand,
and doing all it has to do well. The play is
a farce, purporting to realize in dramatic
| form that remarkable creation of literary
| genius Widow Bedott, as drawn twenty
four or five years ago by then untried
writer, whose identity for long time was
| kept religiously secret. The Widow Bedott
papers grew into an extended series, and gave
the magazine in which they appeared
prominence it had not before enjoyed, and
| has never since attained. Widow Bedott,
as remembered by the reading of that time,
was an eccentric old lady of New L lgland.
! given to gossip, rhyme and her neighbors'
business, and whose heart vas not insensible
! to the tender passion, notwithstanding her
/ years, which it would be supposed should
I have driven out all thoughts of new matri-
ponial honors. She was not rude, though
n.quisitive used no slang, though she
| slaughtered the Kings English was not
immodest, though eccentric was not witty.
though the source aud object Of unlimited
merriment; she was a good-natured, igno-
rant, vain, kind-hearted, silly, youthfulIy-in-
clinei widow of very mature years, whose
self-cnnceit made her blind to her faults, and
| whose vanity and ignorance led her into the
| most ludicrous situations. But Mr.. Burgess
/ plays the character as that of cunning, IN
| truthful, rude 'conniving widow" who guz
zles wine, INDUCES in slang totally un-
/ known twenty years ago, "gets eff " sharp
sayings, and INDUCES in the double en-
tente frequently. In short, MIR. Burgess
Preclila in many respects is a
very different character from the Widow Be-
dott that the early readers of the papers "
knew. But taking the character as presented
bY Mr.. Burgess and drawn by Petroleum "
Nasty, without regard to its supposed rela-
ton to the work of Mrs. Whicher, who Gre
ated the Widow" and it is to be said that
it is one Of the most extravagantly laugha-
bic Of presentations. Il is broad. rollicking
and absurd farce. 1t kept the audience last
evening in constant roar of laughter, and
made some of the fat men of the house so
red in the face that one might be led to be-
lieve them to have reached the verge of
strangulation. As character actor and low
comedian Mr. Burgess may be placed in the
front rank with the few others who have sue
cessfully presented eccentric New England
characters, such as " Joshua Whitcomb, and
The Deputy Sheriff from Jarvis Section"
The Elder Sniffies of MIR. Stoddart was pro-
duction quite On the level with that of Mr..
Burgess, and considerably nearer the ideal.
The same piece will be played again tonight,
and for thoroughly laugh-provoking appe-
tizer nothing better can be taken in of an
evening just now.
