Last evening o change of programme was made, and W. 8. Gilbert's charming drama, “Pygumnlion and Galaten,” was played. - In makiug tho latter aseortion, we are not to bo understood a8 spesking by tho card. It was hrought out for slaughtor, and ity executi®h was tho nmusemont of the evouing. It was played como yenrs ago at tho Academy of Music, and with such widely differenl effect a8 to make tho porformence of lust evening memorablo by con- \rast, Tho drama is ono of the most pootic concop- tions on the dramatic stage, but it contains lines and situations which depend upon the artist who plays Daphne for widely different iuterprotacion. Tho prevailing thoughe is utter simplicity. \What falls from the lips of a maiden as purity itsclt might bo foulnees from thoso of a wanton.

There was no innocence in her modo of querying; it wau too sly and_ knowing ; it was painful, 'Tn- dled, it is plain that Miss K. Rogers Randolph ontirely misconceives the character she stempts to portray. The vivification of the statuo does mnov wolt the marble into & giggling, simpering idiot, It is & warmly-loning woman who is born of siouo, Hor curious speculations aro not the ddy gush of a brainlees school-girl, Misy %Juom giggles, and voice and manuor aro alike zifected aud unnatural.
