st. Charles Theatre.


achieved success in the production of
the thrilling drama of "Foul Play" No
vacant chairs discouraged the actors last
evening, but instead an audience enthusi-
astic, appreciative and intelligent, extended
the due need of appreciation to the lead
ing characters in the play in the most en-
phatic terms. Miss Price as Helen Roles
ton, developed powers she never before
ELECTED here, and gave proof of her superb
ority as an actress. She takes the lead of
all others of her profession now in this city.
A part OF the scenery, especially that on
Godsend Island, is very beautiful. Hoist
ing the freight on board the ship and her de-
parture from the wharf are credibtaly done.
but when the scuttled ship sinks and leaves
her masts and sails standing, the machinery
evidently failed to work well. Mr.. Pope as
Robert Pe7fold, James Sedton, the Ticket of
Leave Man, and ReU. John Hazel, performed
his part correctly. Helen Roueston whom Mr..
Pope as John Hazel saves from destruction
in the shipwreck, vindicates the reputation
of the latter as Robert Penfold, and trlum-
phanty proves that he is not a ''felon" but
"Mariyr'' to the Vaccinations of the william
Arthur WdTdJdlo (Mr Stevens), who had
mercenary motive in wrecking the Proser-
pine and bribed the mate to scuttle her.
The drama of Foul Play was well PLAYED,
| and there is sufficient interest in the leading
| characters to keep up the excitement till
the close of the play, which has a happy
ending The drama will have a long and
| profitable run.
Varieties Theatre.
The great dramatic sensation of "Under
the Gas Light" will be presented but
few nights longer. This the third week
OF its successful representation. We need
not allude TO the merits of the principle
characters in the play as personated by
members OF the talented company at the
Varieties. 1t is sufficient to say that it has
attracted large audiences in fair weather
| and foul, and will continue to draw until
| another novelty is presented "Arrah-na-
| POgue" will be revived shortly. The last
London sensation, new and origiul drama
entitled the Lancashire Lass is in re-
hearsal. Yet Under the Gas Light" this
evening.
Academy OF Music.
A portion OF the editorial staff of the
REPUBLICAN, were invited by Mr.. Bidwell
into one of the boxes Saturday evening,
there being no vacant seats in any other
part of the house then, on the occasion OF
the exciting trapeze tournament and the
benefit of Mile Turnour, the beautiful
| Queen Of the Air" The White Fawn -
| extravaganza and the White Fawu Ballet
possess an unusual interest for what can be
heard and more especially for what can be
seen. The grand procession is a grand al
fair, but it is hardly fair to require the
beautiful Madelaine Hardy to bear the
banner of the Jefferson City police New
programme this evening
Creacent City Museum.
This museum and menagerie, opposite
the St. Charles Hotel, is worth visiting, il
for no other purpose than to converse with
the Intelligent double-headed girl. This
girl, or the two girls in one, the bond o
union being along the spine, sings prettily
and converses huently. Her travel,
throughout Europe and America, and socia
intercourse with people of all classes, has
created a polish tnat renders her an enter
tanning companion for a half hour. Bach
to back, and not face to face, these girls gC
through the world. Talk with the smalles
woman in the world, only thirty-fve inches
high, and see the animals. ..
The Grand Exhibition.
For a charitable purpose the Seymour
Knights have arranged grand exhibition
of Democratic banners, flags, wreaths
guidons, ETC., at Masonic Hall, to com
mence on the evening of December third
The Seymour Knights are Democratic gen
tlemen who had no participation in th
riots and outrages before the election, an
their exhibition of these banners, etc., will
not only convey an instructive moral, bu
give dissolving view of the chief argu
ments OF the Democracy. Republicans oal
take parting look of the psraphernalia @
their political opponents, and at the sam
time contribute to the support of destitute
orphans.
