MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC ART.

procure as good company as possible.
The National will open at the same Time with
Maggie Mitchell as the star. Her claims to public
favor are almost wholly physical, and she ploases
with her figure many who do not like her acting,
and all whose ideas Of the drama do not rise great
way above pretty foot or dslicHte ankle. II Is
stated that Addie Proctor has been engaged as the
sopbreae at this establishmcnt. She made num-
Dor Of friends while at the 0pora-house last season
by her lively and agreeable representations and we
have no doubt her cleverness win make her a fa-
vorite with the habitue' Of tho National.
The Opora-house will be opened the 10th prox.
! Tho company has been already announced, and ar
rangements have been made for long and brilliant
| campaign. The new drop curtain will be COM
plotted; the costumes placed under the Of Mr.
Saunders; the stage In the hands Of O. I. Smith,
and, with this addition to the beauty Of the estab
lishment and the experience Of these persons, to-
gether with the lberality Of Mr.. Pike, doubt not
the season will be capital, the building the center
| Of dramatic attraction.
EDWIN FORREST AND CINcISHArI.-we have al
Teadystated upon reliable authority that Mr.. For
rest the American Talma will not visit Cincinnati
/ during his coming professional tour through the
country. We presume the statement Is correct, al
| though the reasons are not given. Judging from
the support he always received here, we shoud sup
pose he would be glad to return, and there
fere inclined to think personal considerations alone
prevent him from paying professional visit. His
reminiscences Of Cincinnati can not be Of the most
pleasant character and, doubt not several local
tiles and number Of faces would remind him Of
scenes no would fain forget. II makes very little
difference however, whether he comes or not; but
presume Mr.. Nixon will dictate In regard to the
matter, since, believe, places designated
in his engagement. Pecunlarily, visit to this
city by Mr.. y. would be success--apart from this
IT would not be agreeable; for he is not highly
teemed as q maH, and could only expect to be
speoted an artist.
THE AMERICAN IMrREssARn AND rHEm ARTISTS.
strakcsch and seryadio (Cortesi's manager) are
forming separate troupes, but for what purpose is
not known. Maretzek will undoubtedly remain in
the United States for some months to come, as he
has boon shut out Of the Cuban field, and will hardly
risk a South American campaign, Whether he win
60 into service with tho monopolists Of Irving
Place, repeat his gallant opposition experiment
of last spring, remains to be seen. Ulman Is still in
Europe, and some fears of another importation Of
cheap genius and amateur talent Expressed in
certain quarters. II is hoped he may succeed botter
than Last season.
The prime dome now in this country, and avail
able for the ensuing season, Frezzolini Fabbri,
Patti, Cortes, and wiesler, with the tenori, Brig
noli, Musiani, Perring, Tamaro; and, perhaps, Er-
rani, Susini and Amodio, are the only passablo
bassi and bdFitoni in the country.
All these tried and capable artists; but with
out some celebrity from the other side Of the
water something better than superannuated or
amateur singers from the Occasional Opera of
Europe-they could not, In combination, carry
| an American season through with any degree OF
success.
