HE American stage, at present, is occupied with an exciting melodrama, This geu- tleman is the Popular Hero. He is a great success. He has a stately preseace, a traii- tional aspect, “a brow like Mars to threaten and command,” and is applauded to the echo by enthusiastic multitudes. Wherever be goes there is standing room only, and his general pose and dramatic fire are said to be unequaled. A few weak-minded and ungentle critics declare that he has too much strut, but they are readily hissed down, Being a Popular Hero, his audience is always with him, and his lightest word is listened to with breathless interest. He is a star of the tirst magnitude, and when he speaks the other actors forget “MAMMA, THIS IS CAPTAIN JIMMY OF OUR DASERALL NINE, AN’ HE SAYS THAT HE'D JUST AS their parts and join in the echo. SOON STAY TO DINNER WITH US AS NOT.” It is a great thing to be a Popular Hero.
