The Celebrated Case.

Tbe smalle;t andience of tbe : season grceted ihe Dailey Troaoe last evening. The play was one of absorbing interest and was presented in a most creditable raanner. The murder scene in the first act was realistic to a degr©e, tbe terrific strnggle l>etween assassin and victim. tbe piteons cries of tbe cbild in the adjoining room, the forced eall of the mother to sootbe her cbild, ; “I am w;tb yonr fatber.” On tbis last incident, the fatber, John EenanA, is convicted oa the testimony of Lia own cbild —and sentenced to tbe galleys for life. Tbe scene sbifts to a I period twelve years later and the danghter reared in alHaenee en- I coanters her convict father. From this noint tbe acting througboat ’ras worlhy of tbe drama. Mr. Vintoa, as the unfortuuate, R e n a n d, [ awoke from bis apathy and fairly thrilled the r.uditors with his | tense, powerfu ly acting. Miss May >’annarv was eqaal to the demands on her for pathos and enerj»v. Moriimer Snow, as the raffian Lazarre, and !ater as the | polished impostor personating Count de Mornay, justified his high reputation. M'ssGeneveive Nai*nary eve i surpassed ber i renditJon of Prancesca in the

Galley Slave. Of course, Mrs. Bates was gre\t, and Mr. Con- | ners was droll to a degree. He received for what he earned by i 1 his fine actiug a most generous ; ‘ propotion of the applause. Tbe , i other parts were well rendered. | Taken all in all it was the best piay and the best played play of the season. We are confident it wouldstandrepetition,aseveryone who failed to attend by reason I of other engagements rai.ssed a j rare treat. I ■ ■ -
