METROPOLITAN THEATER-" The Raiah "
was produced to a large house last evening
by the Madison Square Company There
was Introduced some charming scenery,
one set being cool, thicll-wOoded dell, |
with a rlyulet of water cOursing down the |
rocks and losing itself in broad pool. into |
which one of the low-comedy actors at one |
time is bodily plunged. The play is in four |
acts. Il 5 light, cfforIesS and amusing |
story of d queer cOurtShip. Its chief char
aCter Is that of an indOent fellow devoted |
20 personal luXureS, and apparently too |
spiritlcss to De capable of emotion. But he |
proves match on occasion for rioters, con- |
quers bully, defeats by his wit the petty |
Jealousy Of two women, and by chivalric |
acts wins a woman fairly against her |
own protest. Two characters in the play are |
made up so as to suggest the idea that the |
figures have bodily stepped out from one of |
Crukshanks admirable caricatures. The |
play has little depth, but appeals alter |
nately to the merry side and to the admira- |
ton all people entertain for manliness |
The characters We're well sustained. That
of the Rajah by Mr.. Pitt, and Jelyll, |
by Mr.. lie Moyne, being eSpe-
cially noticeable. Miss Charlotte Tit |

took the leading female part. and presented !
it with acceptability. 1t is conceivablethat |
it may be played with much more yigor
and animation by one physically stronger, |
but il IS uSt certain that the more subdued
and gentle Interpretation of Miss little is
less pleasing. Miss Elmore, as Emclia |
was largely the life of the holder comedy !
side OF the play, but George Breuning, who |
may pass on the stage for an adult dwarf |
or remarkably precocious boy, had the |
real low comedy part and filled it admir- |
ably in the character of a servant. The |
same piece viii be played this evening for
the last time. \ recognized orchestra was |
noticeable last night, under new leadership, |
that of /. y. Jones. If the fifty or sixty
people that came unpardonably late last
night can be convinced that they about de-
Stroyed the pleasure of those who came
early, throughout the most of the first act,
they and Others will possibly avoid like
dilatoriness in the future.
