Theatrical.

ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-Something entirely fresh
and original in the wsy Of Ethiopian humor and
melody are the performances of Delahanty aud
Herger, 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. II Delahanty puts forward his
right foo, 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
Is these on their stage. the management OF the
Academy deserve better houses than they have
had this week. Remember the matinee to-mor-
row.
VARIETIEs.-The Peep o. Day" reached its
fourth representation last evening. 1t is a
spTightly Irish drama, taken all in all. One or
two scenes drag rather heavily, we think-that
Tor instance where the priest (DyOtD and Capt
Bo'rdrd (Psrkes) have their confab in the wood
land. But we must take the chat with the wheat
and out OF the two can make I'D a very digestible
compound. Mr.. and Mrs. Gomersal and Mr.
rloyd contribute very materially to this result
snd LsWlor and Dyott are both successful in the
characters Of Henry KdUdndgh and Soqqdrth
respectively. The piece is repeated this aud TO.
morrow evening, as also at the Saturday matinee
after which vale " Peep o. Day." enter JEFF.
ferson and " Rip Van Wrinkle"
st. CHARLEs.-Two more performances Of the
Black Crook" and then fsrewell to crystal cas-.
cades, emaZoDs, Zamiels, and all those horrid. or
on the other hand, beautiful memories of the
black forrest. To night and tomorrow these two
mai opportunities are to be offered. On Sunday
night Miss Sylvester, throwing aside the silvery
robes Of the - Fairy Queen" resumes the buskin,
and sIpesrs, for her benefit, in dramatic enter
tainment full particulars of which we shall give
in due season. On Monday evening Mr.. Forrest
c. mmences his engagement, playing " Richelieu.r
TIE OPERA.-" Faust " will be performed
tomorrow Saturday night, owing to the
great success which this beautiful production of
GouDod has attained, as rendered by Mr. Alhaizl's
excellent company. Damiani, Lambe,e Faus.
cEettiIVan HLffien and Lechevalier'appear In the
dlherept roles. Faust is placed uDon the stage at
the Opera House in a grand and magnificent
style. The military march, the old mems chorus
Mr.. Develle's scenery, not TO speak of the other
gems OF this opera, are in themselves deserving
Of the highest praise.
RoBNsoNs CoHBNATIoN. - This mammoth
Establishment returns to-day to its old camping
ground at Tivoli Circle, where, until further no.
uce, TWO performances, afternoon and evening
will be given daily. Among the thousand and
one attractions to be seen thereat is the charming
little equestrlenne, only IL years of age, Mile
CoTdelia, who rides horses, bareback, around the
ring in manner so daring that the audience
watch her with bsted breath and anxious solicit
tude for her safety. TIE whole entertainment
certainly deserves another fortnight's liberal
patronage.

opposite the St. Charles HOTEL upon the street Of
the same name, and is always open from a. NJ.
