AUSTRALIAN THEATRICALS AT HOME.

Australian favorites are ; doing, very .well at Home. Mr Richard Younge, havihg concluded a most successful tour with Mr Tom Taylor’s “Clancarty,” has returned to Ka house iu London, and is just how resting on his oars. Mr G. F. Rowe, having had “a good time” of it in America as Mioawber, Is now playing, and with great success, Captain Murphy Maguire in the “ Serious Family.* This is quite a new line of business for Httf Ro*e, but the result appears to justify .-the wisdom with which he does it. Mtaa Dolores Drummond (the Dolly Green of Australia) is playing at Stockton-on-Tees, Mr W. M. A khurst’s pantomime, “Cinderella,” at the; Pavilion has had a mest snocesaful run. Bis dahghtev, who played thb title rdlo, took a benefit on the• evening : of February 11, and a crowded house testified to its appreciation of her merits. With a year or two of hard training Miss Akhniht promises to make a more than usuilly useful actress. She has intelligence and falont and under proper training these may always be made valuable. Emma Bowsoo, a Tag* manian uatirehas had a most-enthusiastic reception at Malta ai Amina. The Matt&e journals speak of Miss Howson’s debut as comparing favorably with Mdlle. Albahi’S. The Howson family has been well known in Australia for nearly thirty years—Mr John Howson having produced Wallace’s “Maritana” before it was introduced ihtb England—and ihe news of. his daughter’s success is sure to be received with pleasure iu the Anstralias. Miss hloise /uno is awaiting an engagement. , Clarence Bolt continues a most successful career in London ; he is now engaged in giv ing characteristio readings from Sir Waller Scott, and * most excellent one of the “ Great Wiiard .of the North ” hunsef. In order to rendtt his readings and representations the more effective, he has had a very beautiful panonpna of Scottish scenery painted, and altogether his entertainment is one of the best in London. Mrs Mary Gladstone has succeeded, after competing with nearly every London manager, in securing the English right to the last Paris sensation, “Rose Michel,” which we are all looking anxiously forward tost Easier, with Mrs Gladstaneherscdf'in the leading character. Mr James Garden, Mr Willie South and his wife, Canid end Sara Nelson, Barry Sullivan, MrandSrsßandman, and the daughter of the late Professor \ndersen, are all playing more or less successfully in the provinces. Mr John Hall continues to be a favorite in London, and has astonished everyone by his rendering of u’Bryan in the “ Irish Emigrant. ” Judged by his latest performance, it is not saying too much to describe Mr Hall as the best Irishman on the London stage at present. Mr Hall’s quondam pupil, John Morris, still manages to bewilder the people with his Protean changes, and he has evidently m successful career before him. Willie WHanfa continues to delight everyone with the “ Beathen Chinee,” and night after njjfht teaches country cousins how to play a “ game they do not understand.” Mr Ireland is making his way into favor at the Globe. Mr Bentley—it involves no breach of bon‘fidence now to say. for the fact has been publicly announced over and over again, that this gentleman is the sou of the celebrated Presbyterian minister, Dr Begg, and the nejphew of the equally celebrated Miss Emily Faithful—has taken a bold step in pitying Claude Meluotte before a Loudon audience. The essay was a most successful one, after a few years’ hard work at the profession he has chosen, Mr Bentley isnot Anlikely to take a high position as an exponent of dramatic art. tie was to commence an engagement at Edinburgh a few days after the mail left.— ‘ Home News.’
