character of "Fanchon" Although Miss Mitchell
has not played here years, she has played in New
that every one has seen her and every ,one knows
Maggie MitchelPs "Fanchon" II 10 the very
bodiment of efsh mischief nd fun, nd in choosing
thus conception of the character Miss Mdcheli
has sho Rn her judgment, for she possesses great
Vlyacity acuVlty, ana ahlmauoD' Dut has no patnos
The quality Of her voice shrlll and nasal precudes
this more than want of tee1ng. The best portion of
her performance is decideo ly the first act, in which
she u original and though little exaggerated per-
ectly carries away her audience bv her exuDerance
Of spirit and life; She has preserved her youthful
all Its beautiful ripple and cur. But time has ett
the shadow OF hrs wing on her features.

played Landry" in rough, grand, eloquent style,
scarcely suited to the lover or the peasant. Mr.
Lennox was somewhat tame ash Oidier." Mrs Chap
man was very good and motherlY as Mother Bar
teau " Mr. Ward was utterly out of place as "Father
lies" out Of Mother Fadet," for which she received
great applause. Miss Andrews did not look like
pretty 'Madelon " Che piece well put the
stage; the scene at the festival peculiarly redo
lent OF rural magnlfcence, but the mav-pOe dance
was mnddled and no wonder or It Is most intricate
Miss Mitchell repeats Fdachon to night.
WALNUT STREET THEATRE.-Mr. John Brougham
was heartily welcomed here last evening Playing
SCih Fire went off with it's usual spI1t This evening
MIR. Brougham VIII appear as wilkins Micaw6er "

very creation OF Dickens. He also plays HIS Last
Legs.
ARCH STREET THEATRE The Duke's Motto In
troduced to US Lawrence Barrett once again and
eRaIn we say that neither physically nor mentally
the part of Iagardere" is suited to him. He will
appear tonight The Dukes Motto, for tho last
time, and then Will play on Wednesday "Ciau0e
Melnotte" part at least worthy OF hlm.
ACADEMY OF Music Francois Ravel was greeted
with full house, and proved himself delightful
and anu sing THIS evening he will plve his
we'll emembere0 IN Duchal lmeau. Besides his
other Ia ented brothers appear Young America
pays the Frog" and Mad'lle Pepita dances an i'm
mense and varied bill.
PERELLI's OPERA.-A very large, and, as usual,
the most fashionable audience in the city greeted
Signor Perelli. he opera was Linda, but untortu-
naely the illness of MISS Denegre nterered greatly
with its per ormance; she being unable to sing, the
concerted music was terribly interfered wtn to the
annoyance of all the performers. Miss Hewlett was,
OF course deprived OF some OF her finest effects and
much embarrassed; she no wever, displayed the
bIilliancy her and style in the concluding
waltz and was warmly applauded. Durand acted
and sang Antonio" with The power and pathos OF
an artist. Mr.. Schmt2's sweet and sympathetic
voice has gained power aId smoothness-the music
of Linda suits 1t. He carried off all the honors last
evening. On Friday the opera will be repeated,
with substitute for Miss DeneRre in the contra
part. Amateur mpresdrios have their sorrows as
well as bona fide managers, and we condole with
SiRnOr Pere on his evident annoyancel last evening
