THEn RYANS' ENTERITAINMENT.-:-ThO exhil?ition of Professor Ryan and his son Rolla is altogethmer a very credita. bJo one.. The Professor himelf is fathm or a failure, his recitations being bare ly good, anud his lectures not worth hearing-thme latter being made up of platitudes and truisms delivered in a tone and manner whiQll gemy}ci, flce *decidedly wearIsome. The Professor, we learn, has talent, and we doubt it Snot; but it by no mneans lies in lecturig, and he would do well to abandon that piart of his performancps, Rlolla, however, is quite an attist, and has improved the talents with which he *is certainly gifted. is persongtiens of charactor are ve,ally admirable, and hils recitations very credJitable. Of the .former, the "'Newsboy," Lhe "Teoyas Cow Boy," the "Fool" and the irypoi phondriac" gro al1 excellent ronditio'ns, .and p,r ypry laughable. is p)arodies Pu1 iflixcelsior"' and "'The Raven" .are pxtr.enpg)y laughable, and~ in them he shows grpafest command of his facial nerves. Rolla is quite a suOcess as a facial artigt~ and he would do 'vpg eV9teo~ all his tnhefnd, attention to this'branch of his pirofession. kt takes talent df the highest order, withi long, I19ng practice to beco5e attractveas a more recltatioist; and Rolla lacks tile one and has had. little opportunity for the other. Taken as a wfiolo the exhi bitioni is both attI~ract ive am311 creditable, 1111d should always coiinanid a good ludience'. Rolla is really anit artist, al(d has.1t Jjji 1, tittir hefore hiin.
