MR. RIGNOLD.
The European Mail says:—"Australia may shortly expect another visit from Mr. George Rignold, who, it appears, has not found business profitable since his return. He is a sound, goofl actor, and deservedly popular in the colonies. But it is with acting as with everything else : there is so much competition that if a man allows himself to slip out of memory, or to loose his hold upon the sympathies of a public who are ever seeking after fresh fancies, he will find it very different to regain his old position. So far as the legitimate business is concerned, that field is now occupied by Mr. Irving, and he would have to be a very able man who could hope to displace him. Then, for the romantic drama, . there are enough of competitors and to scare, > some of whom are not only actors of consider\lable power, but managers of theatres, so 'jV.hat it will be seen that, unless Mr. Rignold MY; prepared to take the responsibilities of ias 1 !\Safrement, there is not a theatre in LonJh. I is not rnnning pieces in which no be found for him." \
