The FEsTIvAL.-The Festival at Ar
mory Hall, last evening, was a most
complete success, in every sense Of the
word even in that most essential point
cash" The tableaux and singing
lasted until IL o'clock; all of which
were good. The truth is, the tableaux
were better than the majority of the
theaters we have seen in Virginia. The
best of which was EBAY and Night"
"Tennyson's Dream and "The Game
of Life" The last was a game of Chess,
where George Hunt, as the "devil,"
WAS about to checkmate young Martin,
whereby his breath would be shut of,
and his soul bargained for, but Miss
Rogers, as an Angel with bright silver
wings, (which she is without wings),
appears, and shows Martin how to move
whereby his satanic majesty is check
mated by one move. The closing scene,
entitled the Master Piece, vas well per-
formed. Miss Willis played one of the
leading characters in the piece, and
showed herself as Il young lady Of supe-
rior talents. Miss futile, as Lilly,
however. was the one who brought
down the house in thunderS Of ap-
plause. To say that she performed
the female Negro character in a
No. l style is entirely % tame. 1t was
better played than we have ever seen a
character of the kind represented in the
State. In fact the audience, which was
one of the largest ever in Armory Hall,
enjoyed the performance well. There
was but one objection to it, which was
that of being too lengthy, not giving
the audience sufficient time for social
chat and TO spend their money. On
next Monday evening, by request OF
many Of the leading citizens Of Virginia
and Gold Hill, the performance will be
repeated; but the exercises will be
abridged so rs to occupy only one hour,
of three. Let all of the young
men in Gold Hill and Virginia, who
to spend an evening in good COM
pany, where there is the most social
be on hand on Monday night,
as the dollar or two it may cost you will
never be missed by you nor begrudged,
As You will get more than your moneys
