"CASTE" COMPANY AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.—The performance of Mr. T. W. Robertson's "Caste" was given yesterday evening for the last time during their present stay by Mr. Craven Robertson's Company in the Theatre Royal. There was a good house, though nothing in proportion to the merits of the artistes. It is far too late in the day to say a word about such a piece as "Caste"which counts its admirers in every town in the country, where the playgoers have had an opportunity of seeing it, but at least it may be permitted to say that hundreds of persons in Bolton to whom the drama is a source of intellectual amusement, are depriving themselves of a rare treat in withholding their attendance. Such refined and polished acting as that of Mr. H. M. Pitt and Mr. Craven Robertson is but seldom seen on the boards of much more pretentious establishments than Mr. Weston's, and the tears of many of her hearers were the eloquent tribute of praise awarded to Miss Fanny Addison. Mr. J. F. Young in the character of old "Eccles" was simply perfection, whilst Miss E. Brunton, and Mr. H. Fortune, though at times, the former more particularly somewhat overdoing their parts, heartily deserved the applause they gained. The most fastidious frequenters of the play can enter the theatre, at any rate during the present week, without the least apprehension of having their ears pained and their feelings outraged by the vulgar rant, which marks no difference between signing a death warrant, and settling an ale-score. This evening, "School" is to be given.
