THEATRICAL.

Since our last issue several changes have taken
place in the theatrical world. G. B. Waldron, the
popular Portland and San Francisco manager and
actor, arrived nSaturday, with Mrs. WaIdron, E
Reeves, Robt. H. Lindsay, and others, who, with
Mrs. Douglass, J.E. Myers, Miss Minnie Gillespie
Lane, Hamilton, &C., &C., opened the Jenny Lind
Theater on Sunday evening, with Shakspeare's
great tragedy of Othello, and has since appeared
as Phidias and Raphael in the Marble Heart" as
well as several other leading characters in heavier
tragedies than have ever before been attempted
in this country. His performances. supported as
he has been by Mrs. Douglass as leading woman
have been real treat to the few that have pat
ronized the Jenny Lind since his arrival. Their
rendition Of the Prisoners Doom, on Wednesday,
and the Marble Heart on Thursday nfghs, deserved
crowded houses, but did not draw them. Tonight
they will play Victor Hugos great historical dra-
ma" La Toar de Nesle," or the Chamber of
Death and on tomorrow night, Miss Medina's
highly popular 3-act drama Nick of the Woods,
or the Jibbenainosay," G. B. Waldron as Nick of
the Woods, Mrs. Waldron as Julia Doe, Mrs Doug.
lass as Edith aud Myers as Roaring Raf Stackpole.
