THE OPERA HousE—lt would be decidedly
an error to hold that republics are invaria
blY'lirigrriteftff, • oflli lit ' ' I hia'A riiiilearr
people of ours are justly to bo accused of
any unkind disregard of former men or of
thesworthy achievements of the past. The
very large audience, nearly filling the aud
itorium, which welcomed Mr. Edwin
Forest to the footlights as Macbeth last
evening, attested by their numbers, certain
ly not by the warmth of any manifested
enthusiasm, the reverential regard which
our play-gOers feel for a once distinguished
reputation. -
•lt may be said, to be sure, that our people
share in that feeling of profound admira
tion which it has been the marked privi
lege of Mr. Forest to elicit from a former
generation of his fellow-citizens, and with
which Americans everywhere welcome
what may be called the muscular style in
public exhibitions. We admire, for exam
ple, boat-racing, wrestling, pedestrianism,
all athletic aports, any amusements of a
similar character and all public exhibitions
of well-trained and effective physical eapac
ities:l ,It is oven possible that with expec
tations of being amused 'and gratified in
this line of
. performance, the audience
of last evening attended upon Mr. For
eat in his role of the murderer
of Duncan. Certainly, but very few
in that audience could have been aware
of the actor's very limited claim to a mere
- histrionic excellence, and most of them
must have been led- thither by a curi
osity compounded in part of certain vague
historical traditions as to his former pecu
liarities, in part of a dim expectation
that same extraordinary display of muscu
lar tragedy might still be looked for, and
in part of a respectful remembrance of his
achievements, years ago, in those charac
ters which, like Conolanus or Spartieus,
were especially adapted to display his pro
fessional characteristics in the most favora
ble light.
Oi last evening's large audience, nine
tenths, at least, certainly all the critical
and candid portion of it, retired from the
sibene, disappointed in the ,rendition of
that wonderful work of Shakespeare, and
saddened by the reflection that not even a
distinguished reputation won long ago, nor
the broad - mantle of that charity which an
American public ever generously casks
over the - failings and the decadence of
those whom it has loved could any longer
atone for the deplorable taking off, a second
time, of the Kingly Duncan , and the asses
!: sinated Banque. •
Mr. Forest was never a great actor, in his
palmiest days of physical vigor and ma
tured intellect. His readings have been
usually unexceptionable in the inferior de
partments of tragic and melo-dramatic rep
resentation. He was once powerful in
those rotes which demanded only a vigor
one enunciation, a massive and imposing
presence, a thorough familiarity withstage
business, and the style of acting which
thrilled the groundlings and brought the
galleries, as certain quarters of the great
Postern cities could fill them, down to the
footlights in ft tempest of vociferous ap
please. But never - in his best days, did
he satisfy the intelligent and'careful critic.
-In the strongest passages of the tragedy,
for example the soliloquies commencing,
"If it were done, when t'were done, t'were
well—it were 'done quickly" (his long
pause which we mark by the being an
offensively erroneous, reading of the text).
"Is that, a dagger" ct.c., the scene, in the
Third Act, in which he first appears crown
ed, and in some others which lwe could
specify, he was especially un,fortunate,
ruining them by the worst mannerisms of
his earlier days. "Duncan, is in his grave?"
occ., was given as if he would pause upon
each separate letter and, with the rest, was
made almost shocking to a eorreet taste by
the hoarse gutterals, the horrid grimaces,
the gasps, hissings, sackings in of breath
through the set teeth, and similar extrava
gandes of which nd good actorsceuld ever
be guilty. His address to the physician.
"Canst thou minister to a mind 'diseased"
ACI., was the best, bemuse the most natur
ally conceived and expressed passage of
the evening.
We would have preferred that this dis
tinguished artist should have omitted to fa
imr.Pittsburgh with.a professional - visit for
another reason. Welber the bad example
of such personation and of such objection
able mannerisms, when connected With the
high reputation which in some quarters he
once enjoyed, upon the very talented and'
ambitious artists who coinpose the stock
company at the Oma House. -In common
with the o er prelar of this city, we have
been sed °nal) , careful in cultivating, on
the part o the very eminent 'members of
I t
the regular company, such a close study of
the profession, arid 'such a high-toned ap
, predation of. thei distinguished excellence,
which each ,and all of them have at
tained—and which have usually ena
bled them, in a very guarded and
moderate way to entertain houses from one
quarter to one-third full at four shillings a
head—as to render Pittsburgh theatricals
the envy of less favorite cities throughout
the world. We sincerely hope id spite of our
fears, that in their youthful zeal and unripe
inexperience they may not be tempted by
the distinguished example or by the delicacy
of hisperceptions, - the simplicity and truth
of his delivery, the fidelity of his construc
tions' or the naturalness of his develop
mentof the multiform passions of the hu
man heart. And his present engagement
in this city has made these deficiencies—
belonging in part to his early professional
edueation—then cultivated in accordance
with the demands of that class which he
has always the most decidedly aimed
to please, and in part to his in
herent incapacity of any just per
ception of the superior force of nature
or art—painfully apparent to all sincere
and critical admirers of Shakespeare. This
was quite marked last evening; a crowded
audience sat through -a three hours' per
formance, and never onto gave to the artist a
hearty round of applause, not even
a scattering hand. A few elaquera
in the gallery occasionally attempt
ed a diversion in favor of the
performer but ineffectually, 'and • the
curtain fell at, last upon hundreds of people,
weary, bored and disappointed 133 , a "star"
performer into professional and
and faults which will impair and may de
stroy all their brilliant prbspects.
We cannot conclude this 'brief notice
without protesting against any imputation
that would disparage Mr. Forest's abilities
as an actor, or would deny to him peculiar
excellencies even vet in certain walks of
the profession. We are quite sure that if
the enterprising and judicious manager
will persuade him to appear as Falstaff, for
example, he will ahem abilities second only.

LET NOT YOUR PREJUDICE USURP
YOUR REASON
It is a fact that, in the minds of many persons, a
prejudice exists against what are called patent
medicinee; but why should this prevent you resort. ,
ing to an article that has such an array of testimony
to support It as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TERS? Physicians prescribe it; why should you
discard It? Judges, usually considered men of tal
ent. have used and do use It in their amines; why
should you reject It? Let not your prejudice usurp
your reason to the everlastinc injury of your health.
If you are sick, and require a medicine, try these
Bitters.
When the bodily energies are wall out by anxiety
and need a stimulant. this is the best that can be
taken. It is tempered and modified by hygienic
herbs and roots, which pm -vent It from levering the
blood, and hence it does not produce a mere tempo
rary excitement, to"-be followed by bibulous reac
tion, but communicates a permanent potency to the
entire vital organization. Some of its. herbal con
stituents arc slightly soporific, so that in cases where
sleeplessness is one of the accompaniments of ner
vous disease, a dose of it takch towards bedtime
will tend to produce quiet and refreshing slumber.
For palpitation of heart. tremors, hysterics, faint
ing fits, general restlessness and the causeless fears
and distressing fancies to which ladies are especially
subject, under certain morbid conditions of mind
an.. body peculiar to their sex. the Bitters will be
found the most agreeable and certain of all counter
irritants:
The constitutionally nervous may readily keep
their infirmity to constant check by the daily use of
'this healthful vegetable tonic; and those who have
'shattered their. nerves," as the phrase is, either
by Imprudent indulgence or undue physical or Intel
lectuallabor..will find in this vitalizing elixir a
prompt
