THE THEATRES , & c .
Princess ' s . — "Held by the Enemy , " a drama in five acts , by Mr . William Gillette , was produced hero last Satmdny , with great success . The play is osseutially one of startling incident ? 1 , but they liavo been woven together so successfully that even where there are tlaws in the writiug they can be readily overlooked . Mr . Gillette
certainl y knows what playgoers atFect ; from beginning to end he has handled his materials in workmanlike fashion , and has dished them up so tastefully that they hold tho attention of the audience from beginning to end . Again , the anther has soveral fresh incidents in his plot ; characters both humoron * and
pathetic , yet not exaggerated iu their conception . But very few alterations need be made , aud when the first aot has been curtailed , aud tho first part of act 3 somewhat toned , all will be in working order . Tho action of the play takes place in Am-rica , during the War between North and South , and open 3 at the house
of tho McCreery ' s . Lieutenant Gordon Hayne ( a scout in the Confederate service ) is betrothed to his cousin , Riichael McCreery . This engagement , however , is not of tho hitter ' s seeking ; she secretly loves Colonel Chai-lea Prescott , a Federal . Hayne i ? arrested by Prescott , with some compromising papers in his possession ; he
is tried by court martial , and condemned to death , notwithstanding Prescott and Rachel have m < de strenuous efforts to save him . Hayne is placed under Prescott ' s charge , and during an engagement between the two armies , Rachel seeks Prescott , and endeavours to induce him to allow her cousin to
escape . Though sorely pressed to yield , Prescott resists temptatioD , and resolves to be true to bis side . During their conversation a shell breaks through the prison cell , thus enabling Hayne to effect hia escape . This eventually brings him face to face with Prescott , who is wounded . After a struggle the latter is overpowered , only for
Hayne to be shot by Brigade . Sargeon Fielding , who enters at the critical moment . Hayno is now taken to the military hospital , and is tended by Rachel . When her char « e has fallen into a stupor , through loss of blood , she secures an order from the General to have the supposed corpse removed at once . On its way throngh the
hospital the procession is stopped by Surgeon Fielding , who asks that he may be allowed to examine tho body . This proposal is strenuously resisted by Rachel , b : \ cked by Prescott , who this time is not in the secret . An altercation follows , to which au end is put by the General himself , who arrives on the scene . On learning the
occasion of the dispute he orders the surgeon to examine the body . This is done , and after tha doctor places his head over the heart , he pronounces life extinct ; Hayne has died during the altercation , and thus saves Rachel and Prescott from disgrace . The ability with which this scene was worked np can scarcely be done justice to ;
it must be seen to bo realised . We need only say it wrought the interest of tho audience to the highest pitch . Tho last acts consist of explanations between Bean and Susan , two really clever comedy character .- * , and Rachael and Prescott , which prove satisfactory to all concerned . Tho lighter portions of this
ingenious play are brightened by tho characters above mentioned , capitally rendered by Mr . Yoike Stephens and Miss Anuie Hughes . The litter , in paiticalar , developed a sound idea of humour , which backed up by Mr . Stephens ' s spirited acting , made an agreeable con . trasr . As Colonel Prescott . Mr . Warner his not a showy part , but
ho p layed to better advantage than we b ive seen him do for some time ; he made the most of each situation , yet . there was not that scornful beating m redolent with his acting of late . Wo heartily congratulate Mr . Warner oa hia realisation of Colonel Prescott . Miss Alma Murray was impressive as Rachel , while Mr . E . W . Gardiner
deservedly gained sympathy as the spy . Mr . William Rignold was at homo as Surgeoa Fielding , while Mr . Charles Overton gave a strong military air to M : jor-General Stanbnrg . Mr . S . Calhaem was effective as tho old servant , while Mr . E . Gurney and Mrs . Canninge were well fitted with the parts of Lieutenant McPherson
and Eaphemia . McCreery respectively . The call for the author , which certainly was deserved on this occasion , was acknowledged by Mr . Warner , who stated Mr . Gillette had not yet reached the theatre , the piece terminating earlier than had been expected . " Hold by the Enemy" will be put iu tho regular bill thi 3 ( Stturday ) evening , when we feel assured additional success will attend it .
Miss Hawthorne announces that in consequence of unforeseen delay in tho nrepar . ition of scenery for tho " Golden Band , " she hns decided to po ? tpoi ; j its production for a few weeks , and intends , in tho meantime , to give West End Theatre-goers an opportunity of witnessing Messrs . Willing and Douglass's successful phiy " A Dark
Secret . " Tho piece will bo produced at the Olympic on this ( Sa ^ rday ) evening , with a'l its startling scenic and mechanical effucu—including ihe famous IIoul"V Regatta scene . There will bo a : nr < . : i' 63 performance on Easter Monday , and on each Wednesday aud Saturday cl . iriug the ran of the piece .
Mr . Chai-es II . Ifaivtrey , of the Globe Theatre , announces that he will revive " The Private Secretary " ( for a limited number of nights , prior tj tho production of tho adaptation of " La Dootore-sse , " by [ A C .
