on greeted her at the close. The character of "Romeo" was sustained quite creditably for a "first appearance," in it, by Meldrum; but we think the management would consult their own interest, as well as the wishes of the public, by procuring some leading actor whose experience has made him familiar with the standard dramas of the day, and therefore capable of doing them full justice. Mercutio (Merton) was likewise well rendered, for one who has but a limited acquaintance with a part requiring much study. Bailey, as Friar Lawrence, and Warwick, as Tybalt, gave general satisfaction. The remaining characters require no especial notice. Mrs. S. F. Bateman's tragedy of "Geraldine," was produced last night, and will be repeated to-night. Miss Bateman sustains the part of the heroine, and Mr. Bateman appears in two characters.

Miss Bateman as Geraldine. --On Thursday night, we had the pleasure of witnessing the performance of the tragedy of Geraldine, at the Theatre; it was a pleasure, for it is always gratifying to look upon the successful efforts of a young actress to render acceptably a difficult part. The play, as it progresses, exhibits the cGeraldine, at the Theatre; it was a pleasure, for it is always gratifying to look upon the successful efforts of a young actress to render acceptably a difficult part. The play, as it progresses, exhibits the controlling elements of human passion, which were portrayed by Miss Bateman in a manner that completely thrilled the audience. It is in this that the chief merit of the production lies; for we confess to but little interest in the "story of the play," and found the prolix dialogue of the minor parts somewhat tedious. So great, however, was the influence of Miss Bateman's portraiture of the trials and sufferings of Geraldine, that we experienced a sensation of regret that the play was over, when the curtain fell at the close of the fifth act. Mr. Bateman played acceptably as David of Ruthin. Mrs. De Bar, as the Nurse Joan, was excellent, as she is in every
