...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.During the last week of her engagement Miss Neilson alternated "Romeo and Juliet" with "As you like it." Rosalind is purely a comedy part, and differs as far as possible from that of Juliet. Throughout the lighter scenes the beautiful actress was the very impersonation of mirth and light-heartedness. Her smiles and laughter were natural and contagious. Nothing could exceed the grace of her figure, her costume, and her movements. She was most pleasing in her interview with Orlando containing the words "Woo me now," in her advice to the unhappy Shepherds, and in the Epilogue...

Weaver and Aldrich among the gentlemen, and Mrs. Poole as Lady De Winter, deserve praise; Miss Fisk as the Queen, and Miss Noah as Constance, made the best of their small opportunities, as did Mr. Maguinnis, who played Boniface. The remainder of the cast was wretched indeed. Mr. Murdoch's Duke of Buckingham was not only pointless and insipid, but aggressively bad. Porthos, the elegant, the accomplished...
...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...
