THE DRAMA. MAySFTF.LT) IN MOUERE. "The Misanthrope." Ore of the most Important theatrical events, not merely of the current season but of the dramatic occurred last night, when, at the New Amsterdam Theatre. Mr. Mansfield accomplished, In a rrtlliant manner and with decisive and auspicious success, a production of Mollere's great comedy of "The Misanthrope." Old English comedy, at its excluding, of course, Shake- and the whole Elizabethan drama, for HftUere's period was that of 1622 to was ltrgtly indebted to but Mollere, on the English stage, has had but little vogue, Most of the dramatists of the Restoration profited by blm.

Wycherlejr owes almost everything to him. His Influence is discernible in the comedies of OaaaXnaa and of Bherldan. He has. In fact, been a fountain of suggestion for generations of makers of plays. Aside, however, from Charles Reade, who was an enthusiast of Mollere.

no rr.ofiern playwright torts manifested alacrity to acknowledge this obligation, and. outside of France, no strong effort has ever been made to exploit this French classic author. In a manner worthy of his achievements and his renown. In America almost the only one of his plays that has made generally known is the "Malade frequently acted here. In old times.

tnaer the name of "The Hypochondriac." Mr. MansSeld. the one creative. initiative, courageous among American actors of our time, now ecta the good example of producing Mollere: and he sheets the comedy that critical judges. French and Er.Rlish.

have denominated the most representative of his eerious "The Misanthrope." which was first performed. June 4. 1666. at the Royal Theatre, In Paris. Mollere hlmeclf acting It Is a bold step, and it will be attended with far-reaching consequence.

Tha artistic method of construction pursued by fcloUSre. in this comedy, is simplicity itself; but is a different thine; from and. cf all the implements of art, simplicity is the im pleretr.r most difficult to use with decisive effect. The In this instance, is not only decisive but decisive as to meaning, and brilliant es to picture. The purpose was to portray certain vcrsal of human nature.

in a epitome of social manners: to show characters, ar.a rcactlair upon each other; aad to do this by means of natural colloquy.

As to fietaU, It is made known that is invlvel la a lawsuit, against an unscrupulous, enfty, fpvclous. hypocritical antagonist: that he his dxse en justice; that he will make no to convince ihe Judges; and that he prefers to loss rather than to win.

"Good tfr.se," rays this cool mentor. "crcids extremes, and It is supreme folly to make ourselves busy in correcting the world." The admoiJtion is wasted.

Alceste will neither use precaution la bufinesf. Ncr judgment in courtship, nor suavity ia eocicl intercourse. He is in love with CCiiniene, a shallow, beautiful young worncl; accomplished in coquetry; proficient In the arts of feminine shrewd; clever; censorious: heartless; and not, in any way. a suitable mate for aim. Piilicte warns but the warning is In rain.

Oronte, a pert, frivolous, effusive, consequential iii. a rival aspirant for the favor of Celimene. has written some Eilly verees about that charmer, and he Insists on reading them to Alceste. and deniandine a. critical of them.

Philinte. in his urbane, playful mood, would say the usual commonplace wenis of empty praise. Alcsste rot only epeaks the harsh truth, but makes it as offensive as possible; ar.d the result is a quarrel. This coir.es to the knowledgo of the Marshals of a tribunal authorized to Inquired into affairs of honor among and Alceste is trrested. at the crisis of an animated controvrreial Intel view wiih Celtmene and a group of her f.utteririg- admirers.

Aloefte confronts CCllmCne with this proof cf her duplicity, but. at the height of their stormy colloquy, he is again Interrupted anfl turned aEide by perfl cT crrest. consequent on the loss of his lawbvH.

Alceste becomes almost frenzied In the agony cf Hb wour.ded spirit and the bitterness of his misanthropy. The final catastrophe is precipitated when, jn a deftly devised assemblage of the rirht essential interlocutory characters, disir.genu&us ar.d malicious letters, written by Celimene to Acaete and two of her butterfly are read aloud by these indignant dupes of coquetry, ar.d the artful elren stands revealed as an of paltry vanity and shameful deceit.

MISS ETTSSELL A 1A 1 THE CRITEEION. "Jinny the Carrier." Miss Russell appeared at the Criterion Theatre, last night, in a play by Mr. Israel Zangwlll. called "Jinny the Carrier." The heroine of this piece ls another of the beatified peasants whom the has recently undertaken to exploit. Miss Kieanor Robcon, Miss Maude Adams, and Miss Cecilia Loftus have supplied ravishing of this personality, and Mius Annie Russell will not bo out of fashion.

Jinny is a blithe lass who drives a wagon for the conveyance of goods over a certain route in Enfland, and the play shows In what manner Jinny had a competitof In her vocation, with whom she fell in love. Misj Kussell's acting haa usually been notable for sweetness and sometimes for rest. In this play she ia pictorial lively, expressing buoollo freedom with a touch of sentiment. Bhn had a (rood house; she wtu warmly welcomed, and she made as distinct a success as ever. NEW PLAY AT THE HUDSON.

"The Heir to the The Hoorah is the name of a mine and this play relates to a question of its owner. The rough life of a far Western mining settlement ls portrayed, in the usual stage manner, and the usual "rough diamond" persons, male and female, reappear, contrasted with the usual scamps of frontier civilization. There a domestic difficulty: a pretty wife; a brother-in-law; a jealous husband; a gay adventurer: and there are temporary troubles, consequent on unjust suspicion. But all ends well. The piece was received with much hearty laughter and decided favor by a numerous audience.

The tenderness of his emotional nature was matched by the strength of his intellect- The new Tribune of to-day, like the Tribune of the past, is to be consecrated to the development of ideas, the exposition of principles and the promulgation of truth. The Tribune, it may be predicted, will continue to represent the intellectual spirit of the age. Faithful to its past history, it will welcome evtry new discovery of truth. Watching with its hundred eyes the events of the passing time, it will wait for the flush of the morning twiligh: which harbingers the dawn of a brighter Mr.

An Interesting figure In growth of this city Is George Taylor Cooke. who was born at No. 28 Broad-st. on October 2. 1826.

and is now. at seventy-nine years of age, one of the moot active men in the employ of R. H. Macy In whose service he has been for twenty-eight years. Speaking of old New-York yesterday.

Mr. Cooke recalled that in OH where the Macy store now stands, farming and grazing lands abounded. Mr. Cooke'a father was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. After the death of his parents.

In 1832. young Cooke went to CiXtsklll. where he lived with his uncle until he enlisted in the 7th Regt- CJEORGE T. OOOKE. Who has read The Tribune for sixty-four merit on April 19.

1861. Governor Morran soon promoted him to the rank of quartermaster in the 155 th Regiment, and his first engagement was at Suffolk. with tho brigade commanded by General Michael Corcoran. He was at the battle of the Wilderness, and was finally made a paymaster. Mr.

Cooke joined Lafayette Post in lSno. and is still an active member of that organization. He has five children and eleven grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He has been for fifty years a member of the Broadway Tabernacle. Mr.

Oooke writes to The Tribune as follows: To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir; The New-York Tribune to-day contemplates Blxty-four years since its first number was April 10. I think that I am the only living person who has been a daily reader of the paper from the date of Its first issue until the present time. It was founded by Horace Greeley. and waa the successor to a campaign paper called "The Log Cabin," which was also published and edited by Horace Greeley in law to aid in electing General William H.

Harrison President of the United States. That little paper did yeomen's service, and became the cornerstone of The Tribune of to-day. which is now the largest and most influential published in tha world. It has been my privilege, as well as pleasure, to read it from day to day. and I have never yet been in a place where I could not obtain a copy.

Its editorials have always been of the best and the measures suggested have usually been adopted by the leading statesmen of the day. It has ever been on the side of liberty. Justice and truth. Its news has come from all parts of the world and has always been accurate and reliable. As a family paper It is the best, and no one need be ashamed to take it into his home.

for Its teachings are of the highest order, and from them one may learn hew to live an honest, upright, useful life. Although I am nearly fourm years. I to live to see another of The Tribune anniversaries and to enjoy its daily reading. Congratulating you on your success In the cast, an.l wishing you still greater prosperity In the future, I remain. GEORGE T.
