in blue and fresco, the same as the yestibuie and
we found the walls Of the anaitosium done up in
similar STYLE The doors leading fpm the lobby
into the dress circle, IN aspect of respendent
mahogany. The chairs and settees, an over the
house shone forth in all the glory Of fresh coat
of paint and varnish- There was new paint every
where.
We found new stairway on the lower side.
leading exclusively to the second tier. We found
that the quadroon boxes, 50 long N the rear of the
parquette, transferred to the rear Of the second
tier, and the parquette proFortionally enlarged.
We found some strips of hashy new oilcloth in the
passages. We found the old prosceninm gone, at
least in the shape Of s sdes and the seariet4ined
boxes looming forth in the midst u new style
woodwork and painting. The balustssaes we're
brilliant, with their freshly painted meuldings Of
white and gold on the old ground Of scarlet. The
stage also appeared to have been treated to new
flooring. IA ssasl S
The greatest and most striking alteration, how
ever, was visible in Mr.. Boulet's new brushing up
Of the ceiling, representing Apollo in his chariot
dashing over his highway Of clouds, and the new
drop curtains. The main curtain represents a
whole Niagara Of green velvet, lined with white
satin, trimmed with anriferous fringe, and twisted
about and looped up with ropes of orange siik.

emerged from her seedy old weeds and smiling and
basking in the gay dress of candidate for new
marital honors. The beauty and the paint, and all
| the gay externas are there but for all that the
age and experience of the body within betrays
itself in numerous points,
The fact, however, that Mr. DeBar has at last,
expended few thousand dollars in polisbinu nm
and cleaning the old place, and the yery large show
which this expenditure has achieved. under the
careful and tasteful supervision Of Mr., shaw, will
be pleasant enough to the public, whose first op-
portunity Of looking into the theater win be at the
celebration of the Schiller centenary, next week.
