Then her voice suddenly failed her, and Bhe went immediately into retirement. She was born atViterbo in 1820.The last season of the Bancroft management opened at thb Haymarket on Saturday with a brilliant revival of 44 Diplomacy. ” The audience were very enthusiastic, and Mr. Bancroft had to m ike a little speech. There are some notable changes in the cast. Mrs. Bancroft resigns the odious part of the Countess Zicka, which never suited her, for the much more congenial one of Lady Henry Fairfax. Miss Calhoun makes a liit in the part formerly plajed by Mrs. Kendal; and Mrs. Bernard Beere is picturesque and powerful as the Countess. Mr. Brookfield, generally an admirable actor in what are called 41 character” parts, docs much less with Baron Stein, the Russian diplomatist, than Mr. Cecil did, who was the first English representative of the part. Mr. Forbes-Robertson,too,is disappointing as Julian Beauclerc, and his extreme tendency to tears spoilt the famous “ three-man scene.” Mr. Bancroft resigns his old part of CountOrloff to Mr. Barrymore (who plays it with force and variety), and appears as He.*ry Beauclere. The play is mounted in the rich and lavish style which has marked the production of every piece under the Bancroft regime, and the dresses of Mrs. Beere, Miss Calhoun, and Mrs. Bancroft were the admira-t:on of every lady in the theatre.It is rumoured that Mr. Hare will be thenew manager of the Haymarket theatre. I see no reason to accept the report, unless on the ground that, as the Haymarket is the first comedy theatre in London, Mr. Hare may have a natural ambition to continue the excellent work he has begun at the St. James s Theatre. But Mr. Hare is very comfortable where he ia, and I shall not believe in his moving until lie has moved. I wonder whether the new manager—whoever he may be—willhave to fight over again the old question of pit or no pit. The humbler patrons of the Haymarket have been placed at a deplorable disadvantage ever since Mr Bancroft s famous coin).America is yielding u» both plays and players in abundance in these days.
