sque in tableaux. Two years afterwards Miss Bateman again appeared in New York-at the Winter Garden, in April, 1862--as Julia, in The Hunchback, and this time she made a prodigious popular sensation. Following up this success with a great deal of characteristic energy, she appeared as Lady Gay Spanker, in London assurance; Lady Teazle, in The school for Scandal; Juliana, in The honeymoon; Juliet; Bianca, in Fazio; Geraldine, in her mother's tragedy of that name,--originally written for Matilda Heron,--and Rosa Gregorio, in a new drama, written for her, by Mr. T. B. DeWalden. Later in the same year, in August, at the same theatre, she played an other engagement, which was signalized by the presentation of her Lady Macbeth. Her best successes this year were made in Julia, Bianca, Lady Gay, and Geraldine. In all her personations, however, the chief charm was the innate purity of womanhood that shone through them. Very often her art was defective. In some parts (Juliet and Lady Macb

called original attempts, this generation can recall only Divorce (Fifth Avenue Theatre, 5 September, 1871), Horizon (Olympic Theatre, 25 March, 1871), and Pique (Fifth Avenue Theatre, 14 December, 1875); among his adaptations, Leah the forsaken (Niblo's Garden, 19 January, 1863), Frou-Frou (Fifth Avenue Theatre, 12 February, 1870), and Article 47 (Fifth Avenue Theatre, 2 April, 1872). But in these, as in most of his attempts, he does not deserve any more claim to native originality than Matilda Heron does for her version of Camille (Wallack's Broome St. Theatre, 22 January, 1857), or A. M. Palmer for his productions of D'Ennery and Cormon's A celebrated case, adapted by A. R. Cazauran (Boston Museum, 28 January, 1878), and D'Ennery's The two orphans, adapted by Hart Jackson (Union Square Theatre, 21 December, 1874). What he did so successfully, and what Clyde Fitch did so well in later years, was to create roles for the special qualities in his players: he wrote Frou-Frou for Agnes E

ublished by Ticknor and Fields under the title of Words for the hour. Of this, George William Curtis wrote, It is a better book than its predecessor, but will probably not meet with the same success. She had written plays ever since she was nine years old. In 1857, the same year which saw the publication of Words for the hour, she produced her first serious dramatic work, a five-act drama entitled The world's own. It was performed in New York at Wallack's Theatre, and in Boston with Matilda Heron and the elder Sothern in the leading parts. She notes that one critic pronounced the play full of literary merits and of dramatic defects ; and she adds, It did not, as they say, keep the stage. Yet her brother Sam writes to her from New York: Lenore still draws the best houses; there was hardly standing room on Friday night ; and again: Mr. Russell went last night, a second time, bought the libretto, which I send you by this mail — declares that there is not a grander play in our la

led Words for the Hour, was esteemed by some critics as better than the first. George William Curtis, at that time editor of Putnam's Magazine, wrote me, It is a better book than its predecessor, but will probably not meet with the same success. And so, indeed, it proved. I had always contemplated writing for the stage, and was now emboldened to compose a drama entitled, The World's Own, which was produced at Wallack's Theatre in New York. The principal characters were sustained by Matilda Heron, then in the height of her popularity, and Mr. Sothern, afterwards so famous in the role of Lord Dundreary. The play was performed several times in New York and once in Boston. It was pronounced by one critic full of literary merits and of dramatic defects. It did not, as they say, keep the stage. My next literary venture was a series of papers descriptive of a visit made to the island of Cuba in 1859, under the following circumstances. Theodore Parker had long intended to make

Miss Ida Vernon. --This young lady, who was an acknowledged favorite of the Richmond public last winter, commences an engagement at the Theatre to night in the thrilling drama of Camille, founded on a popular romance by Dumas the younger. We have seen the character well played on several occasions, but never so well as by Miss Matilda Heron, to whom theatrical criticism has invariably awarded the palm. Miss Vernon, we are informed, has copied the style of that actress with complete success, and we anticipate much pleasure in witnessing her performance to-night. The play is otherwise well cast.

r name. Under her management it was always a favorite place of resort. J. S. Clarke is playing to full houses and giving great satisfaction at the Winter Garden. Miss Bateman seems to be winning golden opinions at Niblo's, where troops of friends do nightly crowd the house to witness her varied personation of characters in the mimic scenes of the stage. The Hutchinson family the past week have been giving entertainments at the Polytechnic Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y. Miss Matilda Heron is now at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Mrs. Drew, supported by her sister, Mrs. Stevens, Miss Price, and Mr. Barton Hill, appear this week at Grover's. Mr. Frank Drew sailed on Saturday from New York to fulfill engagements at Liverpool, Dublin, and London, where his brother, Mr. John Drew, is most kindly remembered; Mrs. T. C.
