BCS1C1L AND DRAMATIC;
Mr. I P. M aekay m "Falatnfl."
Mr. Mack&j's benefit at the Arch, on Saturday
night, was a brilliant success, whether con.
eldered from an artlattc or a pecuniar1 y point of
View. An enthusiastic audience that filled evert
nook and corner of the auditorium waa a proper
compliment to one of the most decidedly pupa,
lar of onr actors. Mr. Mackay, for Lis part,
provided such an entertainment as enhanced
bis reputation as an artist and afforded much
gratification to hi3 admirer. The Merry Wivs
of Windsor, one of Shakespeare's most lively
And amusing comedies, was selected for the
purpose of allowing the beneficiary to appear
as "Sir John Falstaff," by way of experiment.
Tradition eajs that this comedy was written In
the abort space of twenty days, at the command
of Queen Elizabeth, who was desirous of seeing
"FalatafT'in love. Shakeppeare was only able
to give her Majesty a partial gratification, as it
was Impossible forblmto make "fat Jack" in
love with anybody bat hid own dear self, lie
overcame the difficulties of the situation, how
ever, with much ingenuity, and as a sort of
compromise with his conscience for even at
tempting to represent "FalstafI" as a servitor
to Cnpld, ho caused him to make love at the
tamo time to two married women, who have
him well punished for his presumption. The
Merry Wives of Windsor is almost tbe only play
of Shakespeare which is entirely his own inven
tion: it U a genuine comedy, and it is particu
larly rich iu comedy characters. Unlike any
of his other werks of the same class, It is a
picture of English life in the sixteenth
century, and the characters are one and all
racy sketches from cature, such as no hand but
Shakespeare's could draw. Thus we have in the
goodly company "Sir John Falstafi" and his
ragged followers "Hjm," Pistol," and "Bar
dolph;" "Pago," the even-tempered, good
natured, and unsuspicious man, "Ford," tho
jealous man, and their merry wives; "Justice
Bhallow" and his weak chested cousin "Abra
ham Slender, Esq.;" "Mine Host of tho Garter;"
"Dr. Cams," the French physician, and "Sir
Hugh Evans," the Welsh parson, a comical pair
of antagonists; "Mistress Qaickley," and last,
but not least, "Sweet Anne Puce," whosa name
"Matter Slender" echoes as a refrain through
tho scenes of th comedy. These characters
fit the Arch, street company better than those
of either of the comedies that have boen
attempted at that theatre this winter; and the
performance on Saturday evening was unusually
good, although ' on exceptional occasions like
this It la scarcely to be expected that the actors
will be up to the highest mark, and benefit
nights are commonly exempted from the ordi
nary rules of criticism.
'Sir John Falstaff" is rather under a cloud In
The Merry Wives of Wtndsor, and he scarcely
shines with the same light that he does in the
more congenial scenes of Henry the Fourth, He
Is the same aruusiog "mountain of sin," how
ever, and this comedy was probably the most
j udicious selection lor an actor venturing to
represent the part for the first time. Mr.
Mackay's personation of "Sir John," like all his
efforts, gave evidence of careful and intelligent
study. His somewhat slight physique would
seem to be an objection not easily overcome,
but it was.overcome very successfully by an Inge
nious "make-up," and Mr. Mackay's renderlngof
the part was so excellent that a deficiency of a
few inches in girth or stature could easily be
excused. Hackctt and John Gilbert are the
only two actors now upon the American stags
who have achieved reputations as representa
tives of "Mat all," and Mr. Mackay will com
pare favorably with either of them. Wherein
he falls short is due more to his physical defl
ciences than to any artistic disqualification.
Hackett has made the part a special study, and
he plays it according to rule and line. John
Gilbert, who is the better artist of tho two,
gives a freer, less constrained, and more satis
factory personation. Gilbert's "Falstafl" has a
wheeeiness in his voice, a stagger in his gait,
and a shortness of breath which are the very
essence of fatness, and which Mr. Mackay
somewhat niises. In place of this we have the
sort of dry but sprightly humor which is ob
servable in Mr. Mackay's personation of the two
Shakespearian characters that he has lately
attempted at the Arch. Ta define the value of
the performance, we may estimate it as a little
better than "Sir Toby Belch," and not quite so
good as "Dogberry." but taking it for what it
was worth, it was such a representation of
'Falstafl" as few actors now before the public
could equal, and Mr. Mackay Is entitled to sin
cere congratulations on his success.
Moet of the remaluing parts in The Merry
11 ices of Windsor were very well sustained, and
the performance was one of the most eujoyable
of the season, i'his is particularly worthy of
note, as the success of the play depended en
tirely upon the exertions of the actors, who wore
sot aided by any of tbe haudsome scenic
acce?orte which served to make Twelfth JfigM
and Much Ado About Nothing attractive.
Mr. Everly acted the part of "Ford," tho
ealous husband, admirably. It afforded him
some excellent opportunities to exercise- his
talents, and the performance may be set down
as one or tho most spirited he has given at this
season. Mr. Craig's "Slender'' was if anything
better thau hU "Sir Audrew Aguocheck" in
Tuoff'h JS'ight, and Mr. Wallls than whom
there are few more studious and painstaking
actors -gave a capital delineation of "Justice
Shallow." ft is doubtful whether any theatre
in the country has two more efficient "old meu"
than this gentlemau and Mr. Mackay,
and we would be very much
pleaoed to see Mr. Wallls In some parts
of a b'sher grade thau he usually plays, in
order that he may show the public what he is
capable or. Mr. Barton Hill as "Dr. Caius" and
Mr. Meagher as "Sir Huuhj Evaus" were very
rood indeed, and tbe duel between these ludl
croubly contrasted pcrcooacs was managed so
as to rau.o an Infinite amount of amusement,
Mr. Thayer plajcd the part of "Mrs. Quickly,"
which U an assurance that it was well done.
Mis Price did veryell as Mistress Page," and
Miss Ivenport not quite as well as "Mistress
Ford." The other characters were creditably
sustained a follows: "Page," Mr. James:
"Hoft of tbe Garter," Mr. Hemple; "Bardolph,"
Mr. Snyder; "Nym," Mr. Creese; "Pistol," Mr.
Osborne; "Annie Page," Mrs. Creese.
This, peilormance ol The Merry Wives of
Windsor was so gooJ and the characters so
well suited to the Arch street com piny, that
one or two repetitions at least usht to be given
cfoxe tie tai of the season.

Thk Tbyiko okason. Tne searchiag winds, the
cold, drizzling rains, the heavy fogs, and occtsloaal
warm and moist da s of March, lender It, upon the
whole, the most unhealthy month of the year. Its
depreining Influences are especially unfavorable to
Invalids, acd thousands of persons with feeble con
stitutions, who have borne the winter bravely, breakx
down In the Urst month of spring. The variations of
temperature and coid eas winds are a serious trial to
the dyspeptic and blllouB, whose symptoms they In
variably aggravate. Intermittent f&ver is also rife
wherever there is evolvable poison In the water or
the soli. To enable the system to combat these evils,
theie is nothing like a good vegetable tonic, and among
this class of medicine Hostxttkb'b Stomach Bit
Tuna stand supreme. Medical men prescribe
it In preference to any of the tonlo preparations of the
pharmacopeia. They are aware that the ordinary
tinctures and extraols are all based npon cheap alco
hol, which Is surcharged with an acrid essential oil,
and absolutely poisonous. They know, on the other
hand, that the rectlUed essence of the finest rye grown
In this country Is tbe sole spirituous Ingredient of
Hostettkb's Uittkbs, and that the vegetable me
dicinal elements of which It Is composed are ot rare
eillcacy. Hence It has the confidence of physlolans,
and finds Us way Into hospitals where no other pro
Piletary medicine Is sanctioned.
A course of the Bitters Is especially recommended
to persons of delicate habit, of bath sexes, at this
season. In the fever and ague dlBtilcts of the West
ndKouth, quinine has been a. most universally dis
carded as a ohologogre, and this Invaluable antidote
to malailoui disorders adopted In Its stead. Adouble
gain is realized by the change, for the Bitters, u alike
hat dangerons alkaloid, are agreeable to the palate,
and their curative etr ct l much more permanent.
HxAUACHa, Lang cob, and Melancholy gene
rally spring from a Bltordered Stomach, Coitlveneas,
or a Torpid Liver. Each may readily be removsd
by Dr. D. Jatnk s Sanative Pills, a fair doses
Of which will be found to stimulate the Liver and
Btcmach to healthy action, removing all biliousness,
and producing regular evacuations of the bowels.
