DC. charle. Theatre

~~S sHo ~. Ohafios Ills evening D0Ta,
which has had such splendid run, will be
omitted, and the pathetic and beautiful
domestic drama of I" Old Pills Birthday"
with Mr. Conldock as Phil Stdpleton, and
the laughable comedy of milky White"
by the author of " Chimney Corner" will
be produced for the first time. Mr.. Coul-
dock appears in both plays, and he can not
fail to charm the audience. Tomorrow
evening Dora" will be resumed.
t. Varieties Theatre.
The Varieties will this evening bring
out "Dora," and noeAe need be reminded
that the scenery wiffbe appropriate and
that the cast Of character will be excellent
Whether Mr. Ryer as Farmer Allen can
equal Mr.. Couldock, remains to be seen.
Ii he can bis reputation is established for
ever. Mr.. Floyd Will appear as Bloomfield,
Mr.. Sheridan as William Miss Josie Orion
as Dora and Miss Isabel Freeman as Mary.
We can judge this evening OF the relative
merits of Dora" at the Varieties and the
ST. Charles. The generous rivalry and the
honorable emulation of the managers of
the two theatres named, in producing the
same drama at the same time, should
prompt their patrons and the public gen
orally to witness both representations.
Crescent City Museum.
Go to-day, this evening or any other
time to this museum, opposite the St.
Charles Hotel, and behold the Congress of
wonders. The double-headed girl sings
well and converses pleasantly; the won
derlul human frog smokes and eats under
water; the smallest woman in the world
is always sociable; the baby lions are very
cunning; the happy family of quadrupeds,
the menagerie of wild animals and innum-
cradle curiosities from all parts of the
world are worth seeing.
Academy of Music.
This evening the agnifcentspectacle of
:'Undine will be produce. The story is
the same as William Vincent Wallace's
opera of " Lurline;" and many of the
sparkling gems of that opera will be in.
troduced in this piece. The charming SOU
brette, Mrs. James A. Oates, who created
great sensation at Crosby's Opera House,
Chicago, both in "Undine" aud the white
Fawn." has been engaged by the proprietors
OF the Academy. The Chicago Tribune says
of Mrs. Oates:
"She is soubrette somewhat of the
Maggie Mitchell school; but superior to her
IN many respects. She has light, graceful
figure, a very pleasing face and an arch
ness and pertness of manner which never
seems assumed. She does justice to every
part of her role, and at the very outset
became decided favorite with the au-
dience."
Particular attention has been paid to the
scenery, most of which is new. Prominent |
in this department will be seen the ''Lurlie |
Berg" by moonlight, and the descent of the |
Queen beneath the blue waves; the bath of |
Beauty" with beautiful Maids sporting in |
their stalactite caverns beneath the sea; the |
Cavern OF Riches" disclosing the immense
wealth OF theQueen; and the"S liver Lake"b |
This splendid scene is said TO b. |
an exact imitation ofthe one produced in the
white Fawn" at Niblois Garden. The
stage is covered with silver CLASSY lake.
The fire-fiies fit across from side to side in
The dim moonlight while at the same time
Mile. Sohlke will execute, for the first time
IN this city, the shadow dance. The last
Eastern sensation of De Polls "Can-Can,"
which will be its first introduction to our |
people. This particular type of the "Can
Can has been creating furore in the |
North.
Mile. Sohlke the principal danseuse, will |
appear in the new ballet of the Golden |
Leaves" the SHADOW Dance" and the /
lew "Can Can" Miles, Cribelli and Evers
will appear in the b9llets, and lead the
Warrior Amazous. Miss Jennie Engel will
Issume the part of Uadine, the Water SDrie
,f The Rhine, and Mr.. w. b. Kavanagh will
provoke any amount of mirth as Baptiste
One of the many features will be Corps
If Knights, clad in complete gold and sill,
yer armor, imported from Paris by the man
lgement expressly for this piece.
The calcium and electric lights have
been greatly improved by new operator,
ust arrived from Europe.
The vocal department will call forth a
great variety of operate gems, comic
luetts and songs. The "wardrobe" and
properties" will be mostly new and SPLEEN
lid. The ballet will be full and efficient.
The lnanageis are determined make this
he great success of the sea. on; and in
order to secure this result they have spared
neither pains or money. Some idea of the |
magnitude of this spectacle may be gained |
when it is learned that nearly Two hundred |
people are required for its proper produc-
ion.
The entire supervision OF aUndine" has
been undertaken by Mr.. John r. Allen,
who brought out the Tale of Enchant-
nent" last year with completeness in |
scenic display which has not been surpass-
ID in New Orleans. We welcome Uadine,
md all who reyolVe around her-MortaLs,
LnlmortGlS, and even Demons.
