Edwin Forrest Forrest continues 70 play at
the Park, wilb marked success The career of
this actor had been trriy extraordinary. A poor
orphan boy, he has by his un,iring efforts not on
ly accumulated a large fortune, bu, attained the
very bighest rank IN his profession, Ia certain
characters, he is, perhaps, without living sppq-
rior. His robust health and extraordinary phy-
siqne give him great advantages where uhusual
musclar strength is necessary. as in Damon, Mata-
mora, the Gladiator, Rolla, &c. Bu: bis King
Lear and Richelieu are also admirable impersoqa-
tions MIR. Forrest is native Of Philadelphia,
where his father died many years since, and his
mother a few weeks ago. His two sis,ersastill re-
side here As an attentive devoted and generous
son and brother, too much cannot be said. in his
hehaf He some years since married the daugh-
ter OF Sinclair, the well known English vocalist.

subd1ed, polished, refined and classical The
fact that he has just offered prize OF $4,000 for a
new American tragedy, wopd argue that his re-
tiremep, from professional Life will pot take place
for year or two at least. Phil ,Ergsrss'r1er. gsss'1. +
