MUSICAL, AHP PllAlttATlC
"Mule Km'lv" at thn Arch.
More than any writer In the English language,
except Hhakespoara, Charlei Dickens hai suooeeded
in (firing yitalltj to his characters, lie baa created
long list or personages that the poblio haf e almost
ceased to think of as ereatures of the novelist's lma
glaatlon, and to look upon as realities. There Is
this very marked distinction between Shakespeare and
Dickens, howerer, that places the novel-writer very
far below the dramatist Shakespeare created charac
ters by mental analysis, and by a subtle Insight
into the profountltst depths of human natare, while
Dickons seldom even attempts to penetrate below
the surface and If he does, he generally
falls and performs the much easier task
of giving emphasis to his figures by the exag
geration of superficial traits. This very tendency to
caricature, however, offers great inducements to
the actors who, in a stage version of any of Dickens'
stories, are furnished with an array of nrst-rato act
ing parts that are certain to tell on the audience, in
spite of any deficiency In the play itself, and how de
fective most attempts to dramatize Dlckena really
are no play-goer need be told. Repeated experi
ments and repeated failures have shown that it is
next to Impossible to reduce one of his novels to the
dimensions of an acting drama so as to preserve the
thread of the story unbroken: and the author
of the - piece produced at the Arch last
evening has gone the right way to work by
selecting a single episode, which, however,
has sufficient consistency and completeness la itself
to answer all reasonable dramatics requirements.
The story of Little Em'iy, as given in "David Copper-
field," la, in our opinion, the finest piece of pathetic
writing th ever emanated from Dickens' pen, and
Mr. Arthur nalliday, In the play brought out at the
' Arch last evening, has with much skill succeeded In
retaining most of the One points of the original. To
relieve the more sombre features of the principal
story, "Wllklns Mlcawoer" Is Introduced; and,
although the fortunes of that distinguished person
age have little or nothing to do with the main sub
ject, the amusement caused y him is a sufficient
excuse for his appearance on the stage.
The plot of the play leaves something to the lmagi-
' nation of the spectator, but it is made out with
tolerable clearness, and it presents several very
strong scenes. The most impressive of these are the
relation of "Em'lj's" flight by "Ham," and the do-
partura of "Feggotty" In search of her at the close of
the second act; the interview between "Martha,"
"Peggotty," and "David Copperfleld" in the third
Act, whon the lost woman consents to assist In the
search, and the return of "Em'ly" to the ark, and her
terrible interview with "Rosa Dartlo," In the fourth
act. The actors realized much of the power and
pathos of these situations, the dialogue of which Is
for the most part in the very words of Dickens, and
the audience was liberal with sympathetic applause.
Most of the characters were very well sustained
laat evening, and the success 'Of the play was duo
even more to the good acting than to its own merits.
Mr. Mackay, as "Uriah Heep," carried off the honors
of the evening by a most admirable and thoroughly
artistic piece of characterization. In parts of this
kind Mr. Mackay has probably no superior on tho
stage; and he represented all the meanness, vil
lainy, and '"umbleness" of "Uriah" without undue
exaggeration, and with an excellent appreciation
of the real requirements of the part. Mr. Cath
cart's "Peggotty" was the most agreeable persona
tion we have ever seen him give, and in the scene
'In the second act, where he learns of "Em'ly's"
flight, he was particularly fine. Mr. James also
gave an exoellent performance of the part of
"Ham," throwing more real reeling into his
acting than we thought him capable of. Mr.
Craig's "Mlcawber" was very funny, but it was
tar from being a good piece of work, and as an
attempt to represent the character that Dickens
drew it must be set down as a failure. That Mr.
Craig can act this part we believe, and his persona
tion would be improved If he would refrain from
caricaturing what is already a tolerably broad cari
cature. "Rosa Dartle" Is one of the most singular
of Dlokens' creations, and Miss Alice Placlde made
a very decided Impression by her forcible and excel
lent representation of It. Miss Lizzie Price acted
the; part of "Little Emily" with much grace and
pathos, and Mrs. Thayer was the real "Betsy Trot
wood." Mrs. Drew, as "Martha," acted with fine
expression In the scene in the third act with "Peg
gotty" and "David Copperfleld," which was almost
the only opportunity afforded her to display her
abilities in a marked manner. Mrs. Maeder gve a
meritorious personation or "Mrs. Mlcawber," and
the remaining parts were well sustained, with the
exception or "David Copperfleld," who was anything
but an Interesting character in the hands or Mr.
Stoddart
Little Em'ly is placed upon the stage, in handsome
style, with new scenery by Messrs. Hawthorn and
Fetters, The view of Canterbury Cathedral in the
third act, and the shipwreck In the fourth act, were
particularly good, although a rather ludicrous effect
was produced last evening in the last-named scene
by the peculiar-manner in which the rocking of the
vessel was represented.
The CUT Amusements.
Thi Italian Otbra. This evening Donizetti's
sera, of J'oiivto will be performed, with Miss
Kellogg as "Pauline" and Hlgnor Lefrano as
"Polluto." It has been some time since this work
has been performed, and as it will Introduce Miss
Kellogg in a new role, it ought to attract a full house.
To-morrow Surma will be given with Madame
Brlol and Slgnor Masslmlliani in the leading roles.
At thi Chbsnut the drama of Blow for Blow
and the comedietta of Two Can Play at that Gams
will be represented this evening.

At thi German Thbatkb, Coates street, near

ing, under the direction of Frederick Tiedemann, In
aid of the German Hospital. A line programme will
be presented, and as the directors have tendered the
theatre free of charge, and all the artists have vol
unteered, the entire receipts will go to the hospital,
and we hope that there will be a crowded house, as
the object is a most worthy one.

first quadrille party to-morrow evening at MuHical
Fund Hall. According to the new regulations that
''have only been put In force this seatum, members are
entitled o cards of admission to four parties, their

The Bon 3s follow the completion of the Road
have the Union Trust Company of New York as their

They bear examination and comparison better, tt
Is believed, than any other now before the pabiio, In
the fixed and unchangeable elements of Safety, Se
curity and Profit.
They bear good lnterest-even per cent Gold for
forty years and are secured by a Sinking Fond, and
First Mortgage upon the road, its outfit, and net in
come, the Franchises, and all present and future ac
quired property of ths Company.
They depend upon no new or half -settled territory
for business to pay their Interest, bat upon an old,
well-settled and productive country assuming that
a railroad built through the heart of such a region
offers better security for both Interest and Principal
than a road to be built through the most highly ex
tolled wilderness or sparsely settled territory.
This Railroad possesses special advantages, in
running Into and out of the City of Chicago, an im
portant Railroad and Commercial Centre; In run
ning through a line of villages and old farming set
tlements In the richest portion of the State or Illi
nois ; in running near to deposits of Iron Ore or great
extent and value, and over broad fields of the best
coal In the State which mining interests are Its
monopoly. And besides the local and other business
thus assured, there will be attracted to this road the
considerable traffic already springing up "from the
Lakes to the Qulf ;" as with its Soutnern Connections
Hlfornis a Trunk Line 46 miles shorter than any other
route from Chicago to Nashville.
These Bonds are therefore based npon a Reality,
and a Business that a few years must lnevitaWo
