ES AMUSEMENTS. THE DRAMA. CHICAGO. DENMAN THOMPSON'S SUCCESS. Among the thousands of people who have night- ly crowded Haverly's Theatre to witness the repre- sentation of Joshua Whitcomd by Denman Thomp- son, thera hare been many who have wondered frem whence sprang the actor whoze power to draw large audiences and please them is excclied by that of no man in the profession. From the fact that, ‘until within a comparatively short time, he wasal- together unknown to theatre-goers of this city, an impression hae arieen that aside from Joshua: Whit~ comb,. his experience of staga life has been very Mmited. Such,’ however, is not the case. Mr, Thompson 16 an old qnd experienced actor, having seen sérvice both ja this country and England. He was born in Girard, Pa., i 1833, and passed his boyhood in that town, removing xt the age’ of 13 to Keene, N. H., and it was there that the ‘scenes and incidents which form the groundwork of ‘*Joshua Whitcomb” were impressed on bis mind. fis battle with life began with bis engage- ment as a bookkeeper in Lowell, 3iass., but. a mer- cantile life had no charms for the Ind, and ho. was g00n On the stacey his first appearance being made at Lowell, as Orasman, in ‘*The French Spy.” When’ 21 years of age Mr. Thompson went to Toronto, and during the succepding ten years he thoronghly ‘schooled himself in the dramatic art, and became one of the most popular members of the Lyceum Theatre Com- pany. In 1862 he joarneyed to England, and on his return was received with renewed fevor at ‘To- ronto. There was nothing to interrupt his quict career nntil abont four years sgo, wien the idea of ‘Joshua Whitcomb” presented itself to him and was promptly acted upon. Originally a variety- hall sketch, it'has been enlarzed snd improved into.an entertaining piay which occapies some- thing over two houzs‘in presentation. ‘Wik its success the piblic is familiar, and that feature has been so fully dwelt upon in these col- unmns that no farther mention is necessary at this time. ~ ace NOTES AND COMMENTS.

About a nionth ago he was piaying with Genevieve Ward's Combination in Newport, R. 1. and the success of the company was very great. ‘The principal actors and, sctresses received many invitations to dinners and recentions.

THE HESS TROUPE HAS CLOSED AN ENJOYABLE WEEK OF OPERA anc set its face eastward. The novelty of its per- formances has been'the representations of ‘*Paul and Virginia” on Wednesday and’ Friday evenings and yesterday aftérnoon. We have already given very full notice of the musical features of the new work, and the subseqnent representasions leave nothing to add, except that Signor Operti, during the week, scored tho first ontr'acte, :** Le Foret, anditiwas playedon Iriday evening for the first tme. Considering the dificulties that stood in his way and the tafnness of yo orchestra at his com- mand, which needed more strings, obges. cornets, and trombones, he is entitled to great credit for the ‘skill with which he adapted the accompaniments, ‘The opera was very well mounted, and the perform- ance of it was better than might have been expected. Miss Abbott's abilities tend largely in the direc- ton of lov e-making, and with the ardor, intensity, and realism of her amatory demonstration no fault can be found, or with her general. representation of the unfortunste heroine. It was marked thmughout with intelligence, earnestness, (and real dramatic ability. We wish we could say ag much of the singing, or, could see that she will ever reach the high plane of lyric art. So Tong as her singing is characterized by such physical ef- fort aud vocal exaggeration, so long as she accom- plishes results by continual strain, without an in- stant of repose or a:shade of contrast, she cannot expect to succeed ina ‘musical sense, though ehe may impress hereelf upon the sympathy of her au- dience by the very desperation or her effort. She svould o¢ aware ‘that much of her execution ig simply mechanical, and mechanics in which music docs not fignre, while ber snstained singing ia so often drawn out and pinched in tone that ahe reduces herself to.akind of human piccolo. In her bad manner of delivery she sacritices ell round- ness, smoothness, and volunse of tone. There is nu art in this intensity, thou there 15 plenty of vim, Mr. Castle performs his exacting part with excel- jent good taste, and with the seriousness and breadth it calls for, and at times. his singing, nota- bly inthe great Duo, is marked by thorough ar- Ustic quality..
