STRAND THEATRE. An adaptation to the English stage of the plot of Don Pasquale was produced here on Monday-, under the title of My First and Last Courtship. The character of which the Don was the prototype was sustained by Mr. W. Farren, who gave us an admirable portrait of senile imbecility. He made him not the rollicking old bachelor which Lablache makes him, but rather a faded Lord Ogleby. Mrs. Stirling was the Norina, and acted admirably. The scene in which the poor old man attempts to pick up her glove was admirably acted by both artistes, as was that in which he attempts to climb a ladder to gather some peaches for his ladylove; the climax, however, was the scene in which he attempts to dance the Lavolta. The author has very judiciously laid the scene of his pleasant farce in the time of Charles IL, which gives him the advantage of handsome costumes. The piece was completely successful, and will no doubt have a run. Hearts are Trumps continues to draw crowded houses every evening. Nothing can be superior to the acting of Mr. IV. Farren, Mrs. Stirling, Mr. Leigh Murray, and Mr. Compton in this admirable drama.
