METROPOLITAN THEATER.-The Stevens
Troupe appeared again last evening in the
sensational drama by MIR. Stevens, entitled
Unknown" The company deepens the
favorable impression formed of it on the first
night. Mr.. Stevens is an actor of much
merit, and in the role assumed is probably
as near to reality as is well to be attained.
He is of fine stage presence, and in gesture
and carriage is as dramatically graceful as he
is pleasing in voice, reading and manner.
Miss Church, beside being excellent in the
part taken, manages to excite the envy of the
ladies by the excellence of her costumes
Miss Griffith is exceedingly good as the
Waiting Maid. w. Fl. Bailey is one of the
old-time artists of the period-a rollicking,
hearty and thoroughly-competent character
actor. Brien, Bebus, Miller and Sheldon
gave superior support, and are IN every way
acceptable, while Wilkes (Summers) we'll
known here's better than any supposed he
could be, and does an offensive part
very well. The company thus emu
merated, so far as leading members
are concerned, is well composed and capable
of doing excellent work, and that of much
better class than Unknown calls for. This
play will be repeated this afternoon for the
! last time and should draw well for a matinee

tone, good in dramatic situations, interesting
