you he is apt to give you a glance
over his eye glasses and then ignore
you altogether, 1t might be said he

JANAUsCHEK, THE TRAGEDIRNNE.
This famous actress will appear here
a few days hence, and tickets for her
engagement may be procured next
Tuesday, at the usual place. She
will be supported by a full company,
the merits of which cannot be better
indicated than by giving an extract
from a review Of the lay of Macbeth,
at one OF her recent representations.
The article says To add any words
OF praise to the rendition of Lady
Macbeth, as given by Janauschek, a
performance which has been greeted
with the highest encOmiums through.
out the land, would be useless, and It
will suffice to say that she fully sus-
tanned the excellent reputation for
realistic acting which has made her
famous the world over. Harry Mere.
dith, in the part Of Macbeth, fairly
divided the honors ofthe evening with
the star, and his conception of the
character wasa most excellent one, and
throughout the entire performance he
e7inced dramatic ability of the high
est order, and well earned the hearty
applause that was bestowed upon him.
Dillon, as Macduff, Hunter as NAL
colin, and Taylor, as Banquo, sus-
tanned their respective parts in an i'd
mirlble manner, andindeed the entire
performance was a most m%eritorious
one.

THE RYANs.

The Rolla Ryan party gave their
initial entertainment at the theater
last night TO a small, but, in the main.
a very intelligent and appreciative
audience. The talents of young Rolla
Ryan are varied, unique, and so un-
like anything heretofore seen in this
city that it would be difficult to re-
view their numerous features
IN a proper manner. It is per
haps enough to say that he
can be humorous, pathetic, dramatic
and musical, at will, and on the short
est possible notice. He is a good
reader, a graceful speaker, a capital
elocutionist, and his face is so flexible
that he can distort itinto half a dozen
shapes, all at once. He is a Dutch.
man, hog trotter from the "ould sod"
an Alabama sand mountain ~suuatter.
Shakspeare'S Shylock, a Texas COW
boy, and half a dozen other
characters by turns, and often without
change Of costume. Ills father, the
professor, is also a fair declaimer,
lecturer, or in%terlocutor, and he re.
cited Poe's rhyme of "Tbe Rells''
with ringing effect and pleasing accu-
racy. For interior places of a few
hundred inhabitants, where dramatic
Entertainments are seldom seen, the
Ryans will always draw and afford de-
light. AS at present organized the
party cannot be properly apprc-
ciated in a place as large as
this, but in the field alluded
to they may continue their sue
cess, that has heretofore favored them,
and can win not only popular favor
but numerous dollars. The Ryans and
their clever agent, Col. Cal Roberts
will leave many friends here, after
they go away, all Of whom will ioin il

may fall. Their engagement close,
