METROPOLITAN THEATER. j. T. Ray
mond, the well-known comedian, appeared
at the Metropolitan Theater last evening,
supported by an excellent company, among
whom was an old favorite-E. j. Buckley
who, like Mr.. Raymond, received demon
stratiye and complimentary reception. There
was present very large aadience-one of
unusual numerical strength; and, by the
way, il included very noisy and unruly
gallery, OF which there was reason to be
ashamed, as we'll to feel indignation at the
absence of authority in the "Ioft" to pre-
serve at least the semblarce OF order. 1t Is
a serious question whether the gallery people
have all the rights of the house, and tue
peopls who sit in the other sections none.
The play was specially written for Ray
moud. and entitled, Fresh. the American"
It involved the adventures cf bold, saucy,
rich, shrewd, slansy and witty American
stockbroker in Italy. The scenes were laid
in and about the palace and gardens OF the
ex-Khedive of Egypt, aud turned upon the
efforts and success OF Fresh, the broker, to
carry eff from Aehmet Pasha's harem Ach-
NETS daughter, whou. Fresh clandestinely
married Just prior to her enforced marriage
with Mahomet Ali. The play is an extraya-
1 gan. thing comedy farce; absurd, but
amusing improbable, but full Of apt hits.
and calculated to tickle American pride. and
/ to exalt American self-esteem to the full
/ The support was good, and the performance
kept the audience in merry mood. Ot course
DIR. Raymond was the central figure, and
he personated admirably the nnblushing
but brave. the slangy but witty, the shrewd
but recS,e IS, the loving but impetuous q rieri-
can a1yenturer abroad, possessed OF mose
/ money than discretion and more passion for
the Egyptian princess than re spec. for I" the
law OF place" The only drawbacks to the
play we've found 10 the interminab,e waits,
the lack OF good scenery, and the general in.
ability OF tie resources OF the dilapidated old
Metropolitan stage TO respond to the require
ments OF piece which admits of some very
fine spectacular effects. When shall the C
things cease to be? Verify, this is patie ut
Ee)ple.
