NORTHFIELD-Concert HaIl.-The play
given September 18th, at the above named
place was not very largely attended The
play itself (rhe Miser of Marseilles), was
not thought to be as good as was the
playing. There is one thing that can be
truly said in praise of DR.. Pardo's play
ng-that his enunciation of words is very
distinct; not one word being lost by the |
audience. Mrs. Pardo's playing is also |
very good in this respect. Wherein many |
good players fail to please, is
n the indistnct mummery-if the phrase |
S allowed-with which they pass through |
heir respective parts. The doctor and his |
wife are entirely free from this objection.
The audience is sure to get the full benefit |
Of everything they have to say.
The Guy family entertainment, given at
he same place on the evening of Septem-
Der Oath, was quite well patronized; in
act the hall was well filled with an audi
snce that was highly delighted, to Judge |
rom the tokens of approval that were
given. Young Master Guy personated the
monkey so nicely that faint doubts arose |
whether it was not Argentine monkey that
was playing his antics before US instead
Of the youngest scion ofgthe noted family
If Guys. The gymnastic display was
very good; the feats performed. some of
hem, being truly surprising.
