Theatrical.

ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-Something entirely fresh
and original in the way Of Ethiopian humor and
melody are the performances of Delshanty aod
Hengler, two young burnt cork gehiuses now
playing an engagement at the Academy. The two
dress alike, dance alike laugh alike and are alike
applsuded. The Ssmese twins have found more
than their match. If Delahanty puts forward his
right foot, or crooks the little finger of his left
hand, HeDgler is about as certain TO be doing the
same thing at the same time as the sun is to be
found rising tomorrow morning. Then too there
is quiet grace and a serenity of darby happiness
about their acting which makes it impossible for
one to fail in enjoying it. With such trump cards
81 these on their stage, the management OF the
Academy deserve better houses than they have
had this week. Remember the matinee tOmor-
row.
VARIETIEs.-The "Peep o. Day" reached its
fourth representation last evening. 1t is a
spIiehtly Irish drama, taken all in all. One or
two scenes drag rather heavily, we think-that,
for instance, where the priest (DyOtt) and Capt.
BoWdTd (Psrkes) have their coufab in the wood
land. But we must take the chat with the wheat
and out of the two can make up a very digestible
compound. Mr.. and Mrs. Gomersal aud Mr.
Floyd contribute very materially to this result
snd Lawlor and Dyott are both successful ia the
characters Of Henry Kduandqb and Soqqd,rh
respectively. The piece is repeated this aud to.
