METROPOLITAN THEATER.-Haverly's com.
pany opened at the Metropolitan Theater last
night for brief season in the play entitled
World" Wherein the title of the play
has relationship to the text matter Of the
drama" would puzzle wisaacres to deter
mine. It is purely a sensational play, and as
the legitimate drama has go conspicuously
failed to "dr "" in these days, it is fair TO
presume. according to 1.-The rule OF con-
traries," that this sensational piece viii, as 1t
did last night, bring out good houses. Inc
scenery was mostly new-bropght here Tor
the purpose-aud, compared TO the worn and
familiar sets of the venerable Metropolitan,
the age Of which should, perhaps, command
respect. it was good. Its freshness was pleas
ing. in that view of the case. The mechan-
zeal effects and sensational scenes consisted OF
raft ct sea with the suffering survivors
thereon, their rescue by passing ship, an ex-
plosion on an English steamer, the interior OF
a private Inad-house, and an elevator scene
in a hotel. As to tbs play, it was of the SEN
sasional sensational snd its literary merit OF
the yellow covered style. decidedly OF SAT
from hue The acting was passable. The
chief character was the best presented, being
in the hands of J. II. Burnes, who was sew
ersl times called before the curtain, and who
evidently is capable Of even better work.
Aside from his effort the company can claim
but small credit for its performance. Il is
probable, as has been said, that the piece will
draw. And why should it rot for it appeals
TO taste that, it must be confessed, has mar
Tested desire for exactly this kind of food,
and 1.-The World will give. it its stomach
full. The same play again tUnight.
