AMUSEMENTS, boon admif TOOLEY'S THEATRE. #Bchool” is not o word that is apt to rovive tho fondest memories in the mind of the average man or woman, especially if he should happen to have founded his experionco upon a courso of Winchester and * tunding,” or, indeed, if he should have learned his Cornclius Nepos or Ciesar at any English public school, where evory advonturo was moro or less romotely con- neoted with the birch rod or the loaded cane. But ono English *Bchool” is to be tolerated, and that one is Robortson's exquisite comedy. Ithas boen givon in Chicago beforo, soveral times, slways woll. Rocently it waa tried ot Myors' Opera-Houso, fairly indoed, but not with such suceess in point of artistio representation or public favor 88 on other occasions, Last ovening it opencd tho week, and doubtlces s sonson of moro than ono weok, ot Hooley's Thoatre, and oharmed an unusually largo audionco with its brilliant wit, and tho ox- collent acting of theperformers, It is charac- istio of Robertson's comedies that they abound in morit alike in every part, and hence roquire spirited interprotation. A comedy by this au- thor is o rarcly-cut jewel, whoso evory face sparkios, if it bo only held in tho right light and at tho right anglo. It is, evon hands of a bungling company, full of brilliancy, but all its scintillatione cannot be approciated until & company excellent thronghout can hold ‘it up, Buch o performanco ae is indicated is rore, but it was onjoyed thoroughly last even- ing. It had tho disadvantages of o first porform- nuco, quite unnoticeablo ones. It had the advan- tages of thorough rehearsal, vory matorial ones, As overybody who laughod to toars over “ Caste " will surely go to Hooley’s to ece *¢ Bchool,” it is unnecessary to eay more about the play, and only desirablo to partionlarizo the acting. Mr. Blisdoll's acting in * Ifomo* lost weok indicated his adaptibility to light comedy botter than anything elso Lo hos cxhibited to Chicago audi- ences. Qrent things wero expectod of him in thoe character of Jack Poyniz, a dashing young man of fashion, with a tinge of oynicism and plonty of humor,'and tho oxpactation was fully realizod. Mr. Blaisdell hns ovidently do- tormined to turn over a new leaf, and his offorts. to bocomo o good actor aro extromely en- cournging. Thoro was a finish and epirit abont his acting of last evoning of very rocont soquiroment, but nona the losa acceptable o that account, Ilo was woll up in Lis part, not unl{ in tho Jines, but in tho *business,” and except that in the examination scene a few ood points mlfihl have beon mado in ** asides,” thero was very Litllo Joft to criticise. This is just as it ought to 'bo, mud in doiog justico to tho patrons of the theatre’ Mr, Dlaisdell docs justico tohimsolf, Porhaps it is not out of tho ronlm of criticiym, howaver, to point out the fact that Engill»h gunt[umon of the Jack Poyniz stylo invariably spoak correctly, and say * You woro,” not '*You woa” Tho veory ~exaocting and difficult part of DBeau Farinfosh was played by Mir. Giddons, who has appeared in it before. On tho wholo, }tr. Giddens achievod n murkod succosy, although thero are some weak points about it, which detract from the merit of his intorprotation. Tho unmistakablo * piping treblo” which charnotorizos the old beau during the days of would-bo youthfulness disap- pears as soon as ho concludes to oxist without tho aid of tn{uvnnnting appliancos. His gait, in hisdnys of folly, is romarkably quav- oring and unstoady, as much 8o e hia voice, And this poouliarity 'dlsapposra with tho piping treblo, Inthis particular Mr. Giddons is opon to oritiolam. Otherwiuo, hin acting is excellent.
