ANIUSENIENTS.

"Pygmalion and Galatea" was played in
the National thcator last evening, tho titular
characters being assumed by Mr.. Downing
and Miss Katherine Rogers. Miss Rogers,
who was the Galatea of the cast when the
comedy was originally produced in London,
has ever since been rated its best imper-
senator. Her work last evening fell not a
bit below that Of former years There
has been sort of revival Of the
play during the last two seasons, and two or
three ladies have attracted considerable atten
tion and praise for their presentation of the
principal part. Miss Rogers has little to fear
from comparison with any OF them. Her
Galatca is uniformly strong-efTective in the
first scenes, full of % fine simplicity in the
second and touched in the last with a
pathetic dignity. 1t Is such per-
formanco as throws out in strong
est light and clcarness tho quaint
and scholarly conceit of the apthor.
Mr.. Downings Pygmalion was q we'll
rounded piece Of acting, and quite worthy
this versatile and rising actor. The Chrysos
Of Mr.. Bokce was moderately free from
the low comedy excess into which most
actors are temped by the opportunities
that surround it; but its effect was marred
by tho singular vigor of Mrs. Kunkel, who
played-or played at-Daphno. Mr.. Haw-
