LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Il
able histri0nic talents for the lady were fully
borne out by the unbOunded applause show
cred upon her from the first to the last scene |
Her vocaliLatiOn and dancing created a pei
feet ftsTOys of delight, while her impersona
ton Of the Yankee Girl and Boy, the foreign
organ grinder, the German ballad street sing

Plause. She is really a lady of more versa

They are destined to fill the house tonight, so
that there will not be room for another person |
In 1t; their pieces for the evening being among |
the most attractive they play.
We trust that the stage manager will take |
due care that no one is permitted to appear in |
either piece hereafter who has " a drop in his |
eye" Last evening, the initiated, at least,
perceived that one of the performers had ore
there. He marred the piece in which he was
performing. Such p thing may be overlooked
= FIRST time ; but never afterwards. We know
that the Management were most mortified and
annoyed by il, and have their assurance that
the nuisance has already been abated.
