 1 wA1LAcK's COMPANY IN ''THE QUEENS sH1I ! LING.'
 ''It is an i'll wind that blows nobody good, 1 and thus we might say that the fire which de
 stroyed the Park Theatre was also the caus
 of the presentation of one of the most enjoy | able performances that has been given in Ney | Haven this season. The CarlI Opera Hous was filled last evening by an audience whic] was mainly aware of the ability of the com pany which was to appear, and they expecte ! an entertainment of unusual merit. The were not disappointed. A Wallack atmos phere pervaded the whole of it, and it was comfort, well as great treat, to witnes l ! such perfect acting. The ''Queen' l Shilling as presented last evening ! an adaptation from the original Le FiEs q l FdnailJe of M. Bayard, and was first pro duced in Paris in 1852. In it's present stat ! ! it will certainly become 8 popular addition t \ the many society dramas which have bee 1 first given to the public at Wallack's in Ne ! York. It reminds one of ''Ours," which, a f \ is well known, enlinently successful n l Although the plot is not shrouded with a Y, iimpenetrable mystery and the incidents an
 situations arc not particularly striking, '- pleasant interest is melted throughout. Th l. | dialogue is pleasant, and has many cleve s portions. It is certainly pretty play an
 in the hands of so complete company cal
 not fail to have good run in New York, pa
 ticularly with the attention to stage settin t which can be given it at Wallacl1's theatre , The inn, the drawing room and the quarter D ] of the regiment are all scenes which will at n init of elaborate and picturesque settin 1t and under such circumstances tE al good effect would be much heightened. r. ! want of this was particularly noticeable " ! the drawing room scene last evening, whe l. the surroundings contrasted too strongly wit
 the elegant costume worn by Miss Coghlal
 Where everyone succeeds admirably it
 ! needless to particularize. Praise is due to al l. Miss Coghlan, who is great favorite, seen k ed more brilliant than ever in the charactt ,t of Kate Greville,'' which is admir
 bly suited to her, and completely VIC the audience to her. Mi
 Fife Germon also appeared with her aceu ,r toned ease, taking her part perfectly. n was to be regretted that she was indisposee g and it was surprise to many that the fair e in which she was assisted from the stage WE
 faint in reality. Such was the case, sul
 stitute finishing her part without detrimen
 however Special mention should l. given the acting of Mir. William Herber k which was marked for unusual excellenc 70 and in the scene when feigning drunkenne' o was particularly strong. An outburst of al Iy,Jo fa1 h 1is nf and expression of intense pain when the Go onel seized him by the wounded arm. # was realistic piece of acting which mao , one shudder. The characters both majt ii and minor, were all excellently rendered, ar B. the performance as whole was marked ft 70 it's finish and completeness.
