n "uNcLE DAN'L" THIS EVENING.
This evening, Mr.. John T. Ford will
present for the first time in this city, the
American drama Of, "a messenger from
Jarvis Section,"a play written expressly
for Mr.. Ben. Macauley, who will enact
the part of Uncle Ddnp. Mr.. Macauley
has played this part great number
OF times and always to large and de-
ligted audiences.
He recently filled an engagement for
one week at the South Broad street the
atre, Philadelphia, and the press of that
city were very profase in noticing his
performance. The Ledger Of Jan. 18th,
says
Uncle Ddnl, In the play of "a Mes
senger from Jarvis Section" has won for
Mr.. Il. MacaIley, who fills the part, q
reputation which entities him to place
in the front rank of what are called
"cbaracter actors" The part has strong
individuality about IL, it enlsts from
the first to the last the interest of the
audience, and it is consisten. and natur-
al. The play catches the fancy, and the
sympathy of the audience with lbe kind
hearted Yankee never flags. M. Ma
cauley has exercised good judgment in
the selection of the more impairment
members of his company, and the con-
sequence Is an evenness OF acting, which
does much to secure the success of the
play.
"oUR ooBLINs'"
Mr.. John d. Mishier, who is well
known In this city as a successful mana
ger, will present Tomorrow evening, for
the first time in this city the highly sue
cessful musical extravaganza of "Our
Goblins," written by Mr.. William Gill,
author of "HorrOrs," "Rambles," etc.
The extravaganza is story Of party Of
American travellers on the Rhine, and
is full of delightful music and pleasant
situations. The company performed at
the Arch street Theatre last week to
crowded houses at each performance.
or the performance the Bulletin of Jan.
9th, says;
The fun is developed by bringing a
practical, unrOmantic, levol-headed
American of our own time into contact
with knights and ladies and MINISTRIES {
the middle ages. Mr.. Gill, in conduct
ing this business showed himself to be
comedian of very rare powers, and 1t
Is fair to say that he was hardly more
amusing than his companions. The
dialogue contains great many bright
tits of humor, and not few songs some
of them pretty. The singing Of two or
three of the performers was quite good +,
and the acting of all of them was easy, ,
graceful and fully appreciauve of all the
opportunities for effect offered by the
play. The house was packed and the
auiieuce laughed and applauded in such
manner as to leave no doubt of the
favor with which they regarded the per-
formance.
THE PERFORMANCE SATURDAY.
Although the pantomlme of Humpty
Dumpty" has been presented in this city
a number of times aud by all the best
known clowns, including the late Geo.
l.. Fox, who might be termed the father
of the pantomime, it has never been
better performed or gwen more satisfac-
ton than on Saturday afternoon and
evening by the Tony Denier combina-
ton. Both performances were largely
attended, :hs one in the evening espec-
tally so, the gallery being crowded,
while nearly every seat down stairs
was occupied. Every one of the perform
CTS were well up in their parts, and con-
sequeutly the performance was very
much enjoyed. The company open to-
night al the New National, Philadelphia,
where they remain for one week.
