MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
'A linnta of MgtilnlnK" Arch. '
AonstlnD.il;' dram of A f lath of Light
ixing was produced lout eveuloif at tue Arc- lo
full house, The work of preparing the elreots
Of the pleoe oontinnr J np to Iho moment of the
rising of the oartala, and it wm evea feared
Ihsslt could not be got ready la lime. No
withstanding this, the play went off very
nmoetbly for a first nlg'it, and If the applaaso
of the aauletioe U to be considered as an
evidence of enccess, It may be pronoanoed
decided hit. The success of the
piece, however, Is to bo attributed
entirely to spirited action and floe s?enlo
efTeotn, for, ooiiHlderoil by ltioir, It In a mam of
unmlllatod trash, an J of all the worthiest plays
that have proceeded from the pea of Oily 11
presents about the least claims to favorable
notloe. We do not loos: for nature or proba
bility In stir-li a production as this, but tho
story should be told In an andeisUndble num.
vrr. The author of Under the Qatliyht, how
ever, has considered his plot merely as somi
thlngnpon whloh to string as many sensa
tional elltoU as possible; and If we tike this
view of the easo, and estimate the merit
of a drama by the number of startling situa
tions It oonlalDS, A Fash of Lightning might be
considered a very superior produotlon. The
plot turns upon the fct that a gold chalu dis
appears mysteriously fiom a room where it hal
been placed. A young lady suspects tnat her
lover, who bad Just quarrelled with her, ls.lhe
thief, and to shield him she allows the suspi
cion to altaoh to herself. After various adven
tures lu an all-night cellar In the First, ward,
Jfew York, upon a burning steamboat,
nud submitting to Indignities lnuumeratilo,
It Is discovered that a fluih of
UgbtBlug was the purlolner of the missing
chain; and the minds of the young lady, her
lover, and her family are relieved by Hading the
gold of the chain melted by the lightning and
scattered in fragments among the coal lu a
scuttle. There are some tolerably good popular
hits in (he dialogue, which serve to keep the
audience amused, but there is a vast amount of
irrelevant matter wtilcu is tedious, uninterest
ing, and so utterly absurd that It ought to bj
ruthlessly cut out, and tho dimensions of the
play reduced by one-third at least. For In
stance, what can be more ridiculous than the
gay and festive clerk, on a crowded steamboat.
slnglDg a serenade outside of a young lady's
state-room door? The characters In the pleoe
are commonplace In the extreme, and the
actors are entitled to considerable credit for
giving them a recognizable human likeness.
Mr. Maokay, In particular, plays
the part of " Jlr. Gassy Fulton,"
the Irlsh-Amcrloan cltizsn, with much
ability. The other parts are fairly represented
as fol.ows: "Jack Kyde," Barton Hill; "Fred!
Chauncey," L. L. James; "bUlley," A. Everly'
"fcam. Pldgo," B. Craig; Benedetto," S. Hera
ple; "ttuRlDoer of the iMnlelDrew." Mr. WulUs!
"Terry Dowbeny," T. A. Creese; "Bob." Mr.
Meagher; "ratsy," Rowland Reed; "Divy,"
Little Gnlsseppe; "Dan," Mr. Snyder; "Ned,"
Mr. Norton; "Garanilt," Mr. Oiborne; 'The
Nervous Passoncer " Mr. O'Brien; "Cautaln of
