MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES.

BarDe Bleue," unuer tne llDera ana JuOlclOuS
management OF Mr.. Bateman, enters upon the sew
enth week Of its successful at Nbo's Garden
Despite the change that was made week ago in the
cast the piece continues to attract full houses and
as the efficiency Of the several artists in their new
roles has already been stamped by public approval
it is but fair to presume that "Barbe Bleuen Will
prove rs delightfully."- enjoyable in the future as it
certainly has been attractive and entertaining in the
past. Since opera 0OlDe was first presented to US
by Mr.. Bateman it has been steadily growing In
popularity, and it may now be regarded as an cstab
iished institution in this city. The first Barbe
Bleuen matinee in Brooklyn vii! be given on Saturday
next, at the Academy Of Music in that city.
The Inauguration ofthe fall season at the Broadway
theatre has been characterized by well merited
cess and 1t is to be sincerely hoped that the public
appreciation which has marked the engagement Of
Mrs. w. Lander will ever attend the able and dis
eliminating management therein displayed. The
past has shown that SO long as managers provide
capable artists so long will intellectual com positions
and hstrionic talent be largely and literally patron
lied. The Broadway theatre anxious to please,
has, during the past week, been literally crammed,
not by the idle and silly gazers OF cownish exhibit
tons but by the admirers Of the genuine and praise
worthy art. As Elizabeth Mrs. Lander Is in some
portions Of the play indispensable. In the
last scene, for instance, her portraiture Of
the withered dying yet unconquerape queen, is be-
yond question one Of the grandest and most finished
pieces Of acting ever witnessed upon the American
stage, and needs to be seen to be admired and re-
membered. The play, which Is exceedingly well put
upon the stage viii be continued this week.
