"Hlld" m the Wnlnot.
Lost evening Mr. K. L. Davenport produced a new
drama fntitled Hilda; or, The Pearl of Cnwa'r:,
which ha been adapted from a French piece, esllod
Cadet la Yrfc, by Messrs. I, R. Hhewell an 1 V. Wil
liams. This Is a melodramatic- plavof tha old
fashioned sort. The plot Is an adaptation of a ro
mantic story of the New York Ledger type, and the
piece depends for success upon spirited and artlstlo
acting rather than upon the Ingenuity of the suite
carpenter or machinist. The piece Is an cxoe'.lent
one of its kind, and It Is or a kind that lovers or the
drama will be loth to lose. It Is in Just such plays
that some of the best actors on the stage have
achieved the greatest success, and this particular
drama furnishes Mr. Davenport with a singularly
fine role that is admirably suited to his forcible but
elegant style or acting. Indeed, there H no actor In
tho country that can approach this gentleman in the
better class or melodramas; and such parts as
"Henri de Iorralne" he plays with a breadth and
rreedom adapted to the subject, but with a vigor of
expression that is doubly effective from the total
absence of rant or vulgarity, ami which raises the
character to the rank of a dramatic creation.
The story told in tho play of Hilda is romantic,
rather than sensational, In the modern acceptation
of the term. "Henri de Lorraine" the Coinpto
d'Harcourt, loves "liiicia," tne daughter of a
burgher. He is wounded in battle and by chance is
carried to her home, when the physician asserts that
his only chance for life is the infusion of frosh blood
into his ezhaustod veins. "Hilda" offers herself, and
her lover's life is saved almost at the expense of her
own. He is made to believe that she is dead, and we
next find him the leader of a band of revellers in a
low cabaret in Paris, striving to drown the remom-
branoes of the past in dissipation. The Cardinal
Illchclteu, however, designs an alliance between
"Henri" and his niece, the "Duchesscde Puylaurens,'
but the lady having Informed herself or his habits,
wishes to decline the proposed match, add a meet
ing between "Hilda" and her lover, which acciden
tally takes place in the Cardinal's ante-room, Induces
her to take the girl under her protection and to bring
about a reunion. "Henri" is made commander or
the army, and achieves a great victory, which se
cures him the gratitude and favor of the King and
Cardinal. The "Duchess," however, finds that she
la in love with "Henri" herself, and the subsequent
events turn upon the imprisonment or "Hilda" in a
convent at her instance, her rescuo by "Henri," the
various plots and counterplots which the policy or
the Cardinal and his niece put in action for the ac
complishment of their purpose, and the final reunion
or the lovers.
Some or the situations in the play are remarkably
effective, although, rrom the rather careless manner
in which it was performed last evening, they did not
make the same impression that they would if
worked up In proper style. Scarcely one of the
actors knew their lines, and Mr. Davenport himself
required the assistance of the prompter rather fre
quently. Making all due allowance for the difficul
ties of a first night and hasty preparation, the play
was not given in the style that it should have been.
This is to be regretted, as the piece is a good one :
rar better than the majority of those which the pub
lic are Invited to patronize, and with reasonably
good acting it could bo made strlkiugly effective. To
the general inefficiency of the support we must
except Mrs. Walcot, who gave an admirable persona
tion of the heroine, and Mr. Walcot, who acted the
part of a Falstaftinn poetaster with
much ability. These artists are entitled
to considerable credit, for while
other members of the Walnut Street Compnny are
too often careless ana inattentive to tne artistic re
quirements of their profession, Mr. and Mrs. Wal
cot almost invariably act well, and even in parts
not suited to them they at least try to act In this
connection it may not be out or place to mention
that some weeks ago we received a note rrom one
or the ladies or this theatre, complaining that wo
failed to notice her efforts. It is certainly an un
gracious task to find rault with the actors under any
circumstances, but habitual rault-llnding would be
unpleasant ror all parties concerned ; and tho news
paper that would always speak the whole truth in
matters of this kind would get the credit of being
hypercritical, harsh, and ungenerous. There is not
a "paper in this city that does not pass over a great
leal of execrably bad acting in silence, especially
in cases where there does not appear to be any hope
of effecting a reform. If we charitably say nothing,
certainly no member or the proreBslon has a right to
complain, aiul moae wuu are uiuuitiuua iu uumiu
praise ought to do something to deserve it.
The drama of Hilda will probably work smoother
this evening than it did yesterday, and we commend
it to the attention or our play-goers. Mr. Davenport
Is an actor who deserves well or the public, and he
ought to draw better houses than he has yet done
during his present engagement.

UNSUCCESSFUL BURGLARY.
LETTER OF MESSRS. DAVID DOWS ft CO.
Nbvt York, April 10, 1869.
Herring, Farrbl k Sherman,
No. 261 Broadway.
Gents: On tha night of the 22d ultimo, our store.
No. 20 South street, was entered, and a desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon one of your safes la out
counting-room.
The key to the safe n which we kept onr securities
was locked inside of our fire-proof book safe, tho
doors of which were literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
it. Fortunately we had one of your Burglar-Proof
Banker's Chests Inside, In which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to work at with a wiU,
and evidently used up all their time and tools In vain
attempts to force it. The night was dark and stormy,
and the fact of their knowing whore our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. The
tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, aid
the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and It Is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening It wa
found our securities ail safe, and can therefore cheer
fully Indorse the Burglar-Proof work recmmended
by yon.
Yon will please send the new safe purchased by as
to our conntlng-house, and take the old one, to show
that some safes are still manufactured woithy of tho
name. David Dowa ft Co.
