Tan THEATRES To-MoHr.-Al Of the re-
spectacle places Of amusement in this city are
now open, and the season has been brilliantly
inaugurated. The crowded houses at every
theatre every evening prove beyond question
that these establishments have no rivals IN
popularity. From present appearances the
season win be - memorable for the excel
,lsnce Of the artists who perform, and Of The
plays acted, - for the unequalled patronage
bestowed upon them by m sppreciatiye pub
Ito. In neither London nor Paris do We find
such . vsriety Of sntertainlients each admi-
rable in ib way and exactly suitng some large
portion Of our cosmopolitan population. The
theatregoer can make out his List Of engage
ments for the week by glancing over our
amusement columns, and If he determines to
see everything worth seeing he will have very
few evenings to spare to fourth-rate singers

? AT the Broadway this evening the famous
Madame Celeste makes her first appearance in
q drama called 'The Woman in Red which
appears to be another and better version Of the
French play upon which "Gamea, the Jewish
Mother" was founded. At Wallack's Mr.. =. L.
Davenport one Of our finest American actors,
continues his capital impersonation Of
the hero of Tom Taylor's new play, "The
Serf" which is not an abolition drama,
since the slave of the first and Sec
ond 4 acts becomes a slaveowner In
the third. AT Niblo's the inimitable Ravels,
at once pantomimists and comedians Of the
highest order, play Jeanette and Jeannot, and
Young America, q wonderful gymnast fills up
most attractive programme. AT the Olympic
Mrs. Wood presents London Assurance, with
herself as Lady Gay Spanker. At the Winter
Garden Mr.. Clarke, the best American come
dian after Jefferson, offers his Major dc Boots
and his Toodles, which the public win not
allow him TO withdrew 7sAt the New Bcwery,
Mr.. q. Eddy, who has superseded Forrest IN
the, affections of the people Of the east side OF
the town, announces The SIX Degrees Of Crime
At the Old Bowery Mr.. G. l. Fox, who H. mr.

m No one can bestow moments attention
upon this brief panoramic view Of the attrac-
lions Of our theatres without admitting that
they have never been excelled In this city or
elsewhere. Every theatre has ct least one artist
of acknowledged ability. and fame, and the
stock companies are all very strong, and in
most instances contain actors and actresses who
would be accepted as stars anywhere outside
Of this metropolis, London not accepted. Be-
sides this, every theatre now bestows unusual
care and expense upon those details Of scenery
and costume which 60 to make up q perfect
dramatic picture, and all the places Of amuse-

been repainted and refurnished for the fall sea-

ties Of Bryants', Woods and the San Francisco
troupes, the Varieties, the American and Tony
PASTORS Hall, the circus and ballet pantomime
ct the Hippotheatron, which reopens tonight,
and the diableries Of Hermann, every Thurs
