We by the Boston journals that Manager Grau ana
ms artists have commenced their operate season in
hat city under the most fattering auspices. The
Bostonians more fortunate than we, will have "Linda
di chamonnx - ola Juve "Robert 10 Diable" and an
opera not yet performed in New York. We rejoced
the good fortune OF the modern Athenians the more 80
they overoyed at their luck, to judge from the
tone OF critics who that Manager Grau is pa
by the cream, culture and toni Of Boston, also
has aken the at the flood and that his boat
spans the top wavesn We suppose Mr. Grau provided
with life preserver in Of accidents. We also hear
that the above mentioned Screamn "exceed-
iDgiy gay gorgeous" and that it required the
slightest stretch Of fancy to "convert the whole
into fairy realm" We hope that Manager Graus ex-
pcrience Of the scream" was more substantial, as
doubtless 1t As regards the artists the praise be-
slowed upon them 10 surely all they could DESIRE al

Theatrical. =. ssl-a-ss -
The theatres only Of this city, but also Of Boston,
Philadelphia Chicago and other parts Of the country re-
port excellent business during the past week. We
glad to that the performances generally worthy
Of the patronage The programmes of the city theatres
for the present week deserve special attention.
This evening the fine old comedy 'Married Life" will be
played at waacks for the nrst time the theatre
The cast unusually strong and includes FIVE Of best
actresses in the company. This is the first time
have been favored with this charming quintetse.
On Tuesday The Magic Marriage" will be revived,
for the benefit OF ME- Hoey, Of whom IL sufficient praise
say that she the leading lady Of the leading theatre
OF the country. On Wednesday Mr.. Z. G. P. wilkins
Henriette" will be repeated This play adaptation
by Mr.. wilkins from vctorien sardons .Les Pattes
Mouches" which was nrst performed at tho Vaudeville
theatre Paris with the celebrated Iafontane the hero
and afterwards revived the Gymnase with famous
Rose Chcri the heroine We notice that some OF the
pspcrs deny that Mr. wilkins made this adaptation
ground that he received but half the proceeds On the
ground It viii probably be denied that Mr. Will
kins wrote the " Personne" articles in a certain
defunct weekly, as, report DO true, he
never paid all for those contributions. Too much
not be said In praise OF the play itself, the in
which is placed the stage at wallacks and the act
ing and costumes Of the artsswith the single excep
ton that Mr. Fishers 6tting dress suit TACT three il
than that he in "Old Heads and Young
Hearts, and is most inappropriate 10 the character Of
French gentleman.
Mr.. Edwin Booth has been alternating "Hamlet" and
"0thelio" the Winter Garden during the past week
70 very large, fashionable and apprcciatve audiences
This evening Mr.. Booth appears shylock in
1.-The Merchant OF venice"-one Of his best
characters, next TO that Of Cardinal Richeeu

by the public. Mr.. Booth mas several new plays
In his repertoire but doubt that they will be reached
during his present engagement There is temptation
produce plays with expensive scenery and costly
dresses while s.Hamletn and "othellon draw crowded
houses. We hope, however that Manager Jackson will
be very liberal in the mounting Of these old standard
pieces this He well afford to be So for the
gods have smiled upon him and wooed him, as Jupiter
did Danae, In shower Of gold, or, Dan
Bryant says, It's equivalent Let him no
longer be content, therefore, 70 sit, like second
Rabelais laughing In his easy chair, but rouse
himself TO action and that shaksperes scenes
shall not suffer by bad scenery and appointments. The
production OF Of shakspcres sublime tragedies in
splendid and artistic style would Manager jackson
with glory, and him lavish eulogics
than those which greeted his appearance in those good
old days whom the Bowery shook with his eloquent thun
ders and the laundering echoes Of appaudng thousands
The Fair One with the Golden Locks attracts immense
audiences nightly at Laura Kecnes theatre and will
for two or three weeks more, suppose The piece
has been improved since the first night, and more
fun has been crowded into the closing scenes Mrs
John Wood is " The Fair One with the Golden Locks
not only the character, but the whole play. Her gay
rolckrg humor carries the piece through charmngly
The scenery is very pretty and the music worth hearing
but the characteristics Woods excepteddo not amount
70 very much. and not very well acted. Mrs sedley
Brown, for example, does not TO understand that
she Is playing in burlesque, and Mr.. Charles wacot.

appears not quite able TO do H. There ereat fuss
