Inc Academy Oh Nv bio has enjoyed spo"u" 10
gree of success dur the past week. A new op
era, and freeh sriise what more ought 70 10 aSAet

The new opera. Ios', affords excellent opPohpni
" 10 Madame Medoi for the marvellous gash Of 70
cal sorority which is tho source of her Preeminence
Fine vocalists In ordinary. are content TO give theii
fullest tones occasionally for tho best OF reasons:
they would break down il they attempted more
But Madame Medori appears to be beyond the fixed
and settled rules Of schools and tho letter Of tho law
and to be fountain of resonance, and not ressr-
voir. Nothing seems TO daunt OF weary her in pois
SAINT defamation. . fl. ai sa-
Signor Mazzolsni has the same order of apparently
inexhaustible vocal strength. He never reserves
bis forces for last moments, but jumps into medias
res and seems ss fresh in the fourth net ~ In the
first. ii 'r4 g Ell
Signor Biachi is ono Of the few living masculine
bass voices that can undertake Rossinis music with its
muliitudinous notes. Bass voice a. he is-with all
the essential drawbacks Of the slow vibrations be-
longing TO soporous depths-he executes with the
agility and certainty Of light feminine voice. As
the race of such artists tends toward extinction, ANA
,eurs may do well to take advantage Of his presence
The other artists distinguished themselves 10 the
satisfaction Of as brilliant audiences ever we're
assembled within the walls of the Academy.
Tonight lone will be repeated: and as
Madame Medori has taken passage in steamer for
Europe-and is announced to appear only this week
before sailing--lovers of the opera have but the
most reduced chsncesof bearing her. The opera Of
lone" will be given for the last time but two.
Mr.. Maretzek will take benefit on Wednes-
day, when tho Foseari will be presented %
novelty here. Mr. Maretzek has established bis
reputation az boli manager, in addition to bis fame
~ an experienced and able conductor Of the orches-
ira in bringing hitber, at period Of doubtful sue
cess for opera, such q company as he directs. Ii
cannot be doubted that he will have most crafty
ing success at this benefit
Mr.. Gottschalks three concerts sung the past
week have been fully attended. He will give on
Thursday evening, at Irving Hall, concert in aid
Of Delhi Lodge, assisted by several artists See
advertisement. .H
At the Brooklyn Athen@um, Mrs. Mary Abbot's
annual concert will take place this evening, when
Mr.. Gottschalk, William Castle. Mr.. s. G. Camp
bell. DIR. Thodore Thomas and Signor Abels will
psrform--"a powerful cast" '' f'

The success Of any Noble Son-in-Lsw." at
wallscks, proves how thoroughly an admirable rep
resentstion may redeem the frsities Of an nsffoc-
tive play Until very recently, it has been ques-
ton il any American thester could trust to the
quality Of its acting alone for public favor, without
primary regard to the necessities Of stage incidents
and situations. The effects generally demanded
bayo not been those Of delicate delineatiou OF
character, Blu. the holder and more tangible ones Of
piouant plots and exciting events. A little while
ego, no piece like My Noble Son-in-Lsw' would
have had any chance with managers, not to speak Of
tho public. Mr.. wallack showed his confidence in
the higher possibilities Of bis company in producing
il, and ito natering reception 10 evidence that the
experiment was not premature. Although Ny
Noble Son-in-Law'' is simply Q series Of amusing
domestic pictures, with little about them TO
startle curiosity or provoke deep interest,
il affords opportunities for clear and vivid sketches
Of character which improved, especially in the
case Of those personated by Mr.. Lester Walleck,
Mr. John Gilbert and Mr.. Young, with 90 much
skill Us to divert attention throughout from the ex-
IRENE simplicity Of the story. Undoubtedly the
adsptor had this in mind when preparing the piece.
There are thesters in Paris where the exgencies of
plo, and stage action held entirely subordinate
to nice portrayals Of different shades of character
Sometimcs it really seems as if such oonsumma-
ton were also probable here. One swallow, how
ever, does not make Sommer, and one theatrical
success peculiar kind does not promise the imme
diato advent of the dramatic millennium. The murky
missries Of Pauline" still encbain abundant inter-
est. even at our best theater, and then II needs
stronger incentives to reform them than my Noble
Son in Law" Offers, to help the way to substantial
changes in popular taste. The general judgment
upon this piece 10, that il is avery neatly written
and nicely adapted version Of play the original OF
which afforded no chance for the employ mens OF free
and bold dramatic effects; that it admirably fits the
members of Mr.. Wallsck's Company who represent
it, and tbst the performance is unexceptonably iine
IL will be repeated three times this week-to.night,
and on Wednesday and Friday. Tho programme
for the intervening nights is advertised elsewhere.
At tho close Of the present week, or early in the
next the benefit season is TO DO revived for one
night only on behalf Of Mr.. Moss, the Treasurer of
the theater whose personal claims upon the regular
visitors to this house will undoubtedly 60 further TO
secure him superb audience than the special per.
torrance of the evening, whatever 1t may be.
The audiences at the Winter Garden were, toward
the close of last week. augmented to extent that
warrants another repetition Of Miss Lucille West
ems East Lynne 1t will again be performed
this evening the occasion being that Of Miss West
ern's benefit. During tho week number Of new
pieces will be given ut the Winter Garden, to afford
opportunity for this Iadys appearance in characters
sufficiently various to demonstrate the qualities Of
her acting in widely different directions.
AT the French Theater, Nblo's Concert Saloon.
the regular performance tomorrow evening will
consist of the comedy, 4" LIE Boo Homme Jadis,"
