Theatrical.

On Saturday evening last the RoblnsOn lam
lily gave another Of their popular entertain
ments, being for the benefit of La Petite Susan.
Three pieces were produced, besides dancing
and singing. The attendance was large, and
the audience seemed extremely delighted. The
popularity Of this company has never been sur
passed by any other ever here, and none have
ever been able to repeat the same pieces night
after night to full houses. The great attraction
where all was good was the little beneficiary,
who displays prcocity Of talent truly remark
able, both in acting and dancing. Her Ger
trude is one of the best conceived .delineations
of the character possible, and evinces an &C.
quaintance with the theory, If not the possess
ion, of the emotions of older people.
The company is fortunate also in the associ-
alton with them of Mr.. Wright, who plays with
admirable accuracy. His Peter Spyke is a per-
feet model, and his delineation of William in
Blackeyed Susan shows him au fat also in 9th
er walks of of the drama. 2oJ
Miss j. Robinson plays the disdanful young
lady with perfect grace. With more expert
ence on the stage she will be an excellent &C
tress.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson performed an ad-
mirable burlesque dance, yclept the Irish Jig,
at the conclusion, which was encored. Hwas
strikingly illustrative of the pictures Of Thack-
cray and other delineators of Irish life. Ss7-o,
We trust these artists will give another ex-
hibition before leaving the county. They are
great favorites also at Grass Valley.
The Chapman family have played several
nights the past week in town to large and we'll
pleased audiences. The pieces introduced are
mostly new in this place, or been but little
played. They have been welcomed by good
public support, and will Prolong their stay be-
tween this city and Grass Valley for some time
to come, if the citizens extend proper encour-
agement. It's their design to provide addi-
tional novelties as the:season progresses. They
played last night Love in France, a humorous
comedy, Mrs, Chapman taking several cbarac-
acters, and 1aughable farce called the Rattle
They play tonight for the last time previous to
leaving for Grass Valley, at which place they
open on Saturday uight. The company con-
sists of Mr.. Geo. Chapman, and his lady, who
are well known to our readers, Miss NJ. Chap
man, an accomplished danseuse, Mr.. A. Chap
man, who has grown from funny boy to
good comedian, and Mr.. Hayward, who was
here with DR.. Robinson nearly three years ago,
and was then highly popular. He has greatly
advanced in his profession since that ime, and
plays with spirit and taste sal
The pieces played tonight are the Alpine
Maid, and Married Yesterday. Several favor
ite dances are on the programme, comic songs,
&c. The occasion is for the benefit Of Miss
Mary Chapman, who will undoubtedly be greet
ed with Q full house.

objected in behalf Of the majority of the commit

gentleman stated that majority of the ladies
present would be pleased to have social dance,
and that appropriate music woald be in attsn-
dance in FIVE minutes. Accordingly the music
appeared, and for an hour the dance was kept in
motion, we believe to the serious injury of NO
one. 1t is to be regretted that any occasion for
ill-nature arose, for in all such matters q little
concession is worth everything. Thosepresent
had readily united to contribute for the object of
the occasion, and as they desired nothing re-
pugnant to propriety, it would have been better
to have allowed them to amusc themselves, were
il enly to secure their cooperation On similar
occasions in future. A little after midnight the
company dispersed much pleased with the On
tertainments of the evening - .......
