It is pleasant to know that "Beau Brummell" has been selected from Mr. Mansfield's vast repertoire for the Mansfield appearance in this city next Monday night. There is nothing that Mr. Mans field does that gives him such scope for his remarkable versatility. The transition from gay to grave, the contrast between sweet scent ed exquisite, bantering with royalty after hours spent upon his ima culate toilet and the broken down Beau, overcome by premature sensibility, and in acting the ghastly farce at a dinner party, in the garret at Calasis, with imagination alone to supply the guests, is so great that any ordinary actor would completely change the person ality of the man. The exquisite fop, basking in the favor of the Prince of Wales, and setting the fashion by his eccentricties, and the proud recluse hiding away from the bailiffs and slowly starving to death, afford startling contrasts, depicted by Mr. Mansfield with graphic skill. "Beau Brummell" is a comedy of the most refined humor, with some exquisite touches of pathos. He is today, with the thinking patrons of the theatre, the most popular, as he is the most creative and daring actor of the time. There will me absolutely no detail lacking in the local production of "Beau Brummell.' It will be given with exactly the same care that is bestowed upon it in New York or Boston. race scene in the last act Edwin Barbour, the author has skillfully- incorporated in the play many features of rural New England life, familiar in dramas of a similar character already seen here. The story told is in five acts, leading up to thrilling situations and excit ing climaxes. In the last act Tempest and Sunbeam meet in the DiBtrict Fair races, and, after a most exciting race, Tempest wins the race. Vice is punished and virtue is triumphant. The comedy parts in the drama are well taken by Jessie Mae Hall as Roxie Gray lock, whose singing and dancing evoke considerable applause. Neil Scully as Uncle Phil Graylock, and Minnie Hill as Mary Ann Pep per. The company is evenly balanced, the scenery is all new, and is a marvel in stage mechanism.
