AMUsEMENTS.


"CENDRILLoN.n-This gorgeous Protean spec.
tacle was produced last evening, at the Chestnut
Street Theatre, in an admirable manner. The
scenery, dresses ballet, tricks, transformations,
and machinery are all superior TO any that have
ever been brought INTO Tequisition here. The
spectacle passed off with remarkable smooth
ness, and gave general satisfaction to the large
audience present. The character-dancing by
Mad'lles Teresa Wood, Lima Windell, and Anna
Kruger was unusually fine, while the acting of
Misses Josie Orton, Julia DAILY, Annie Ward,
Mr.. Walter Lennox, Mr.. Michael Woolf, and Mr..
j. w. Jennings was excellent These gentlemen
exhibit keen appreciation of the burLeSqlte-
GTttttdnte, and were deservingly applauded. The
PaIislan fairy spectacle of Cendr1tt0n will be
repeated every night for many weeks, we have
no doubt. 1t forms q most delightful summer
evenings entertainment.
LITTLE Boy BLUE."-This is the title of Mr..
g. l.. FoX's last pantomime, and 1t Is the best in
every particular that has ever been presented in
this city. The comic acting of @, l.. Fox and
his dimnutiye brother Charley" each evening
at the ArCbIStreet Theatre, as Clown and Panta-
loon, is lnimitabe. The scenery Is good, and
the mounting OF the piece is credit to the
theatre, The "grand base ball match" is pro.
badly the most laughable part of the pantomime,
and the audience relish it the more because the
ball is batted into all parts of the house, and
men, women, and children are suddenly turned
into 'shoIt stops" and pitchers Some of
the tricks in the pantomime are really wonder
ful. The best, we think, are the 'Hindoo Bas-
ket Deception the prize Fight and NAM
scene is truly beautiful. Little Boy Blue will be
played at the Arch every evening, and on Satur-
day afternoon. Go, and take the children.
TRIP VAN WINKLE." - The Walnut Street
Theatre was crowded last night again to witness
the wonderful acting of Mr.. Joseph Jefferson in
Boucicaulps Rip Van Wjnkte. Miss Susan
Denim, as Gretchen" was very good, and the
minor characters were tolerably well repre-
sented. RIP Van Wtnkle will be played this
evening.
Great preparations are being made to produce
Shakespeare's fairy play of a Midsummer Nights
DTe0m at the Walnut with scenery, dresses,
etc., imported expressly from Paris and London.
