FASHIONABLE WEDDING.The church of - , - Street, was filled last night to repletion by the beauty and fashion of the city, to witness the nuptials of Mr. -, of the well-known firm of -, with Miss - , daughter of -, Esq. The fair bride was elegantly attired in a -, trimmed with the richest point lace. The entire outfit is said by those in the secret to have cost $10,000 in Paris, and is the most elegant thing in its way ever seen in this city. The sacred edifice was profusely decorated by an elaborate floral display from the well-known house of -, of this...
...poor girl when all but he forsake her, - all were wonderfully real in Mr. Warren's impersonation. His dressing was, as usual, most admirably suited to the part. The other important character in the play is that of the self-sacrificing Camille, a part well suited to Miss Clarke, who certainly acted never better or looked more beautiful. Mr. Hardenbergh and Mr. McClannin were both acceptable in their respective parts. If Mr. Conway would stop shaking his leg and running his hand through those flowing locks, he would greatly relieve the Museum audiences...
...their little troubles being immediately straightened out, and the fair lady, with all her companions, rescued by her own husband's vessel, which conveniently heaves in sight just after the grand reconciliation. Still the play abounds in ludicrous and not unnatural situations, and the leading parts are rendered by Miss Clarke and Mr. Barron in that quiet, unostentatious manner which is the peculiar charm of the acting of both. Mr. Warren was, of course, immensely funny. The scenery was some of the best the Museum has ever produced...
Boston Theatre.The return of Miss Maggie Mitchell, one of Boston's favorites, has been received with crowded and enthusiastic houses. The play last week was "Jane Eyre," a play which gives full scope to Miss Mitchell's superior abilities as an actress. Mr. Shewell, another old Boston favorite, furnished a fine support as Lord Rochester, while the rest of the cast was very creditable. Taken as a whole, it was one of the finest pieces of acting we have ever seen at this theatre, and forms a vivid but not unpleasing contrast to the ghastly and sanguinary drama which...
...William Black's new novel, "A Princess of Thule," which bids fair to equal in interest his "Monarch of Mincing Lane" and the "Phaeton." Charles Warren Stoddard contributes a powerful piece of writing entitled "In the Cradle of the Deep." "Probationer Leonhard" is concluded. The criticism of Miss Neilson in the Monthly Gossip seems to us a very fair one, and the other work toward the end of the volume is good. "The Hermit's Vigil," by Margaret J. Preston, is superior to the ordinary magazine poem, but we cannot help suggesting that the lady gains nothing by the introduction...
