Of his tirst appearance Mr. Barrett says: <At his entrance he -won the vast audience at duce by the grace of bis fizure and the inodes bearing which was naturait. him.

Chippendale, and Churlotte Cushman. In 1836 aud in 1815 he vis- ited England professionally, winning. fume as Spartacus, Ouicilo, Lear, and Macheth, In 3837 he married Catherine Sincinir at St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and thirteen years later bis wife procured a divorce fromi him. Of this divorce and the causes leading to it- Mr, Barrett has this to say ‘The first cloud which seemed tn lower over the domestic heaven appeared in England dur- ing hfs second visit, when it wus said be became angry because his wife ‘was unwilling to drive Macready from her side during her recep- tions. Forrest nimself refused to speak wo him, and he felt it galling to be com- pelled ‘to sce uny one dexr to him cour- cous to such an enemy. Macready had known the Sinclairs intimately for yeurs, and on this occasion had mingled with her other friends to welcome Mrs. Forrest on her return to England. In an evil hour for biiwself, in an evil hour tor his art end the struggling drama in America, Edwin Forrest threw open the dours of bis home to the scrutiny of tho world and appealed ta tho courts to remove the sivieton which was bidden in his closet. With the proceedings of that triu], which resulted in divorce, alimony. and separa tion, this memoir bas wothing to do.

Ja 18:9 Forrest was associated with the dis- graceful Forrest-Macready riot, when the mob nearly destroyed the theatre in which tho En- glish actor was performing, and would have taken his life without hesitanon had not the ailitary interfered.

In many respects Mr. MeCittlough js an ideal Virginius. Me is even better than Forrest, who, in his day, was consid- ered the best delineator of the ouian father on the stage. Mr. McCullough belongs to the robust school of tragediuns, of whom Forrest was the head, but he has improved upon his master in this particular rdle. The fatter was uneven in its presentation. At times he would rry his audience with him in enthustastie ad- miration of a magnificent burst of declamation, or ina feeifng portrayal of deep emotion. At other times be saak to mediocrity, and bis man- nerisms of gait and utterance were especiall: noticeable. Mr. McCullough gives a much more finished performance. His voiee is barsh und unpleusuntly euttural in some of his more vio- fent outbursts, but on the whole be looks and acts the part be assumes, and su identifies bit self with it that it seems to be his by right, and his alone.

MeCullough’s .verform- auce it is no more than justice to call xttention to the excellent support he -receives from the Jeading members of bis company, and especially trom Miss Kate Forsyth, who presents a ebarm- ing picture of the loving daughter Virginia. aeonscientious, painstaking actress, and ably seconds the efforts of the trazedian she supports. Mr. Collier, Mr. Langdon, Mr. Shew- ell. aad Mrs. Foster are also entitled toa word of praise. ‘This coming week Mr. McCullough will vars his 16perto:re. Ou Monday and Tuesday nights ho will appear as Lear, on Wednesday und ‘Thursday as Hamlet, and Friday and Saturday ns Richard Jf, Wednesday ana Saturday maatinces he will take the part of fgomar. The managc~ went promise the sume attention to details ‘hich kus characterized the presentation of ‘Virginius.” : In bis life of Edwin Forrest, Laivrence Bar- Tet has something to say ot the days when Mr. MeCuilough was one of the company supporting him. One incident be narrates runs like this: An actor was late for rehearsal, and the rest of the compauy, including the star, were com- pelted to wait for his arrival. He came at jast, and was met by a storm of abuse from out an excuse, but d nothing. Forrest went ou excitedly, fimadvertiug upon the sin of indal- Mr. MeCultuugh hus been with we for years: he has never been for one moment ate, and L hope, sir, you, who seem to require a model for your couduet, will imitate that yen- tloman.”” ‘Yhe rebearsal went on, and presently MeCullough's cue for entrance was given. He caine not! Calls were made, minutes passed; tnere was an awful pause, during which tbe ‘color cate and went in Forrest's angry face. When the delay had become serious .and the silence awful the actor who had been adv! follow Mcvulluazh’s example dared, sty’ licivusly, to approuch the irate star and say: ir, you will ve to give me a new model.” Forrest, uot deigning a reply, turned to the staze mmnager and said: Good God, sir, go on with the business, and send for McCullough.” ‘The settlement with that sen- tleman, when they met, is deseribed as a stormy one, but no details as to its nature are furnished by either Mr, Barrett or Mr. MeCullough.

Large houses have, in fact, been the rule every uigot during the week, and the present engagement, which is the shortest Mr. ‘Thompson bas playcd here, bids fuir to be the most successful of any. Of the piece itself there is litte to be suid, It has no literary merit, and the plot is very slight.
