METROPOLITAN THEATER. = An excellent
house greeted Miss Charlotte Thompson and
her company last evening in the COMEDY
| drama entitled 1.-THE Planters Wife" Fer
haps the judgment of the audience bore the
best testimony to the quality of the company,
inasmuch as the leading members were twice
called before the curtain, and were, through
| cut. warmly applauded. But the piece IS by
/ no means fitted to present Miss thompson at
her best-in fact, she is so much better as an
artist than the piece is as drama, that the
two should not be mentioned in the same
breath The lady is thoroughly self possessed,
reads with clearness and in an excellently
modulated voice. Her gesticulatlon is al
ways graceful appropriate and signifi-
can't. Her facial expression is striking.
Her figure is slight, but elegant. Her voice
is strong and her enunciation perfectly dis
tinct. It is evident that she will appear 70
far greater advantage as Jane Eyre, which
drama is TO be played this evening. In justice
to Southern society protest should be entered
against the character Angie Gordon, as pre-
scented last night by Miss Hastings, clever
comedian, who played for and won the gal
lery but it is preposterous TO suppose that
such hoidenish miss SIS Angie would be ap-
plauded in any genteel family, or that we'll

he was as mirth-provoking as Mr.. VIII
sor, low comedian of good quality,
made the character. Mr.. Lirgham is the
leading man, and was deservedly well re-
ceived. He gave, by his unaffected and
natural manner, the most OF the aug

tation as a skillful and accomplished artist.
as well as public consideration, demands that
the management change its undermining for
Saturday and resciud the order to repeat
The Planters Wife" In an engagement
of but three days the public should have the
opportunity to see Miss Thompson and her
company in different pieces each evening.
