TIE TABLEArx vIvAsrs. = The New Opera
House was packed on Thursday night by an au-
dience composed of the elite of our population.
We have before full houses at this place, but
must confess that this was by far the greatest
gathering we ever saw in a New Orleans theater.
Every box, seat and standing place, from the top
to the bottom of the auditorium, was occupied
The fair sex was largely represented; and we can
safely say, judging from the beauty which dazzled
our sight, that the terrors of the war have not
dmmed the lustre Of their eyes nor paled the
cheeks of the daughters of the Queen City of the
CSnfederacy.
The tableaux were, as we expected, of the most
gorgeous description and perfectly represented in
every particular. Each one was a gem in itself,
and we felt as if We could not get enough Of the
delight we experienced in behoIding them. The
beautiful scene will live fresh in our memories for
many long year; and we have but little doubt
that the immense audience enjoyed it as ruch
as we.
1t is remarkable fact that the ladies and gen.
tlemen who formed the tableaux could have per-
fected themselves in their parts in such short
time as they have had to prepare. They certainly
gave evidence of a high order of artistic talent,
and we almost regret that circumstances should
prevent them from ever appearing beforethe pub
lie again. , ....r. ....... ......-,. ,....
So successful a conclusion of this enterprise
must be source of great satisfaction to its origin
ators, and they have the proud satisfaction oi
knowing that they have done great deal towards
promoting the holy cause of assisting brothers in
distress.
