We even question whother sho has an equal {n this character on the lyric stage. Tho cbief intorest centored, of couras, In Miss Cary's representation of Mfignon. With all due creait to this excellent artist, whose vocal and dramatic” abilities aro 80 pronounced, her personation cannot bo called & success. Not that sho does mot aing well—thls she almost always docs; not thnt sbe docs not act well,—sho has shown us In ““Trovatore," ** Afda," and particularly © Favorita," how great a dramatic artist shie can be in roles adapted to ber large and nobie style. The illusfon of tho child Mignon Is gone. Itls not Mignon's volco that we hear inher positive, broad, deep, and strongly characteristic voice, It 18 not the childisn, petiishness, and waywardness, the carnestness and pathos underlying the bumor of AMignon that Miss Cary eives us, but the comedy and acriousness of the artlst herself, The come edy 13 too apparent and real, nud does not reach thit subtle essencn of humor, which wns 80 characterlstic of ignon, and which bordered g0 closcly upon tho llmits of a smile and a tear, In the serlous parts sha was much Letter, but Miss Cary cannot be serious without being dignified and to o certnln extent mofestie, and Mignon was nelther the one nor the other, Tasutn_ It all up, Mignon wasa child with a child’s fancies, Impulscs, caprices, and wayward- ness, and todo n character with such attributes requires delleacy, finences, and ightoess which eaunot be expected of an artist whose comedy 18 ovinl and rolllcking,nnd whose tragedy 1s of the orofc sort. Still it would be uafalr mot to credlt bhor with nn earnest and honest effort to give the part in n consclontious manner, nnd to ivo that axrrcnlun and senthnent which be- one to Ity though her musie waes transposed, which mode ner s(ug!nf all the more Judividual and nrom:l{ self-asserting. 'The ramanza “Non Conos i it bel suol and the Gynsy song fn the boudolr, her most prominent numbers, were S§beautifuily given,—the oue with much feciing and pathos, and the other with great freedom and regard for its pe- cullar coloring. 8he richly deserved the encore ghe recefyed for the batlad, und should have had one for the romanza. For the prosent the nov- elty of the performance will prove an attrac- tion, but, na that novelty wears off, we fancy that Miss Cary herself will percelvo the difffeul- ties that stanid {n the way of her success with {t and discard jt,—not boeauss she cannot do it ns well as any other artist of ber physical, nu- sical, and dramatic mold would, but because there nre impediments [n her way which shie ean never overcoing, well-trafned and disciplined ns slie {a in lyric work. Our opfulon has often been expressed of Miss Kelloa’s Kilina, and after last evening’s per- formance we only feol like repcating it with atfll morc cmphasis. If therels an artist on tlie stare who can aing or act Filina better than Misa Kellogg, her namo is not yet known, The personation was a complete Buccess, and the singing of the Polacea was the brilliant event of the performance. Miss Gould made her flrst appearsuce of the scason in the little part of Federico. 8ho sang her only number, the Gavotte, very creditably, but beyond that there is mothing ‘to commend fn her performauee. ‘The remaining parts were fairly taken, and the chorus was in better shape than {t has beeu ho- fura this week, “This evening, “ Rigolotto? will be given, with Miss_Marco, Miss Cary, Lazarini, Paotaleont, and Conly fn the lendlug parts, The sule of scats for_the Pinaforo season, which commeunces at.

Haverly baos within the past twelve months worked o wonderful revolution in the manuge- ment of his stage. Play-goers among the audl- enco last night who recollect the slip-ahod shapo in which the drama was dished up there, and see the marked advance in aconery, In dressing, and in nttention to lttle detnils now, must have ex- perfenced & sense of agrecable astonlshment, Yot there {s much to be done bofore the full requiroments of o Shakspearean play | are complied with, and until that much’ is dono we fear the general public witl look with apathy upon the presontstion of the higher range of dramatic work.

It may bo eatd unro- aervedly that John McCullough in his assump- tion of Brutus presents the berole Roman with an originality of concoptlon and with such mas- terly exccution as to entitle him to rank among the very best actors of our time. It is o pleco of stago art ss nearly perfect as possible, 1ils tomperament and his talents find the most spontancous expression and unite In embodying tho Brutus that Blakspeara drew, Throughout there d8 tho intclleetual pofse, the calm, the gentlencss, the graciousnyss, and the sweet~ ness of the charactor.

The eaptious critie micht eny that the countenance ought to huve shown more decidedly the ravages of o dread(ul mental strugele, or that the ghost scene could have been bettered by the introduction of an fudien- tion of the fnpending supernatural terror, But these are sinall fanlts, One of tha most dell- cataly-hundled scenes was that in which the well-known dlalogue oceura betwoon Drutus and Cassius, fo which the latter breaks the design of the consplracy to the former, und partly galng him over to it.

In the succceding scones thers was an entiro nabsenca of the rough and bolsterous manner so often atiributed to this tragedian, His repression, considerlug bia resources of volce and actton and hia sirength in repose, were mar- volous. IHls symputhetic touches wore tinted with exquisito tasto and with striking offcet, deserving the hizheat commendation,—the shrinking from the hand of Cuwsar, the gentle- ncse ahown {n the action to tha sleening Lucius and the parting with Cassius on tho fela of Philippl, the revelation of the death of Fortla, and I{I’u farvwoll to the dead Cassius B Charles Harron won the wood will of bis audlonce by bis Jago tho other nlght.
