The theaters are not doing a wonderful business
The & Model Hypocrites has been dead failure
at Wallack's. Forests houses Che IS playing
Macbeth have fallen off, Laura Keene's business
IS only so SO. Edwin Booth draws pretty good
houses at the Winter Garden, but the deadhead
brigade is very large here and the theater is small
Things are still worse at the opera. They gave
G Stradella with Fabbri, Formes and Stigelli last
night, to the worst house | ever saw in the Acad-
envy, and that is saying good deal. Spalding &

cannot say that she is dressed as a man and as
woman-bnt sort of half.and-haf. One panta-
loon, one half vest, one half frock coat. half
neek-tie and collar, one whisker, and a divided
meustache, are set of against a semtcrcle OF
crinoline, bare arm, partial low neck arrange
ment, tastefully done up hair and soft, blushing
cheek, and a jaunty fiat hat She is the personfi-
cation of the idea illustrated by the well known
Dan in-the lions den man. lou pays your money
and you takes your choiee"--so far as apparent
gender goes.
That must be a pretty thing to do, Ell, Colonel?
