The rollowing editorial affords at least one ex- ception to the rule: x JamesE Murdoch made his first ap- earance before a London audience at | Haymarket theatre, on the 23d September, as yeung Mirabel, in the “ I[nconstant.” The | dimes of the 23d says of him: **The more im- te reason for the revival of the “‘ In *’ juet now, has been to imtroduce an can actor, of acknowledged fame, for j toe first time to a London audience Mr | Murdoch, we learn from a“ memoir” which bas been published, has graduated in every domzin of the stage, and has been succersfal nesch. That he is an artist as well esan aa oris evident, but a certain heaviness of voice, and unpleasant inelastic style of man- ner, would seem to naturally unfit him for such a part as Mirabel, the gay, reckless rake, whose anima! passions and hilarity are chiefly in the ascendant, and represents the type of which Elliston and Charles Kemble were the most finished exponents . Hence it was, in the last scene—that in which tho ‘* Inconstant’’ hero finds himself in the deadly grasp of the bagnio bullier, and only releases himself by his presence of mind and assumption of plearantry end vivacity— that be was the most successful. We buve seldom witnesged anything better than his lineation of hysterical j 2, when the soldiers arrive, and his forced effort to appear uncon- cerned. Nothing abler could have been wished fur; avd it brought the curtein down in triumph. Mr. Murdoch was recalled with enthusiasm ; for the impression that he had made upon the spectators was undoubtedly real. Neverthelees we chall be glad to see him in other parts—parts of more essential weight and gravity, wherein we conceive he is wore likely to shine—before we join in the verdict of isfaction which the public last night so unequivocally expressed.
