"THE WOMAN IN WHITE."

" Tho Woman in White," convortod into a play; contains some strong melodramatic situa tions' ; ti'j't its principal claim to consideration lies in the remarkable impersonation of Fosco by Mr Wyber't Reeve. Wherever Mr Rcevo has played throughout the colonies, this creation of his hns excited admiration, and it certainly de served tho presence of a larger audience than attended last evening.' Tho strong counter attraction offered by the Jewish Kazanr and the familiarity of the piece were uo doubt jointly responsible for tho poor house, but tho perform ance went with almost as much spirit ns though ihe theatre had been crowded. It is ditlicult to say anything new about the Fosco of Mr Reeve. It is a thoroughly studied performance, abounding in forco and self-restraint and uot ununged with a certain grim pleasantry, answering well to tho charac ter of tho Count as Wilkie Collins drew him. Tho only departure of importance from the lost performance of tho piece given hero consisted in a readjustment of the death scene at tho close of the last act. Fosco now leaves tho room by way of the conservatory and is assassinated out of siuht of tho audience, staggering on again for a very realistic death scene in the presence of Marion Hnlcumb, his wife, Laura Fairlie, and Hartwrifiht.

Mr Darley _ Sir Percival was only marred by this actors usual inoutoiious and expressionless intonation. Mr Darley might remedy this elocutionary detect independently of any trouble he may havo with his voice, and his acting would then meet general approval. Mr Hoyte was a good re presentative of Walter Bariwnght. Mr Forbes played the small part of Pesca very humor ously aud Miss Bllicott did fairly well as Madame Fosco. Tho piece will be repeated to-night.
