One OF the most attractive places OIL
resort in the city at this time is Koblnsons
mammoth circus, on the grounds OF the old
Csrrollton railroad depot, near Tivoli
circle. What boy, or girl either, does not
take delight in the sawdust ring? And
.1oassuds of children of larger growth
frankly admit that they would
,er witness good circus per-
orrlance, which they eau understand,
4 tbal to suffer the terrible inhiction
sl he grand opera which they neither
erstaud nor like. 1t may be unculti-
" d. but it is human nature. And the
. who caters to tie simple taste OF man
Z, i be sustained, while he who strives to
above the common understanding i'm
p is his fortune. Let us then give Mr.,
Robinson call, and thank him for giving
Us zeal old-fashioned frst-class circus.
Academy of Music.
III IRE seems to be no end to the invent
IT, cdlties of some people. We once in
M tly supposed that after the great Tale
C chantmcnt" had run its course at the
i,t, my Mr. Kittredge would be com
paiai to close up for the want Of some
thirr to succeed it. Bat on calling at the
Aesa y last night with the intention
mere. j t9l ng hasty glance and then
dfi. .ns soon began to feel such an
---, lL.-rest in the variety troupe and
variety entertainment that all thoughts of
leaving before the close of the performance
vanished. The programme was capital
one, and well played. The songs, dances,
witticisms, music, etc, were really splendid |
The audience was good and all were well |
pleased.
Varieties Theatre.
Mr.. Edwin Booth has just terminated |
brilliant engagement at this establishment, |
which has, we hope, resulted in as much
satisfaction to himself and the manager as
it has to the public at large. They could
not ask more. The house has been crowded
nightly with an audience composed of the
best people of this city, who have either
listened to the play with the deepest at
tention and interest, or manifested their
satisfaction by hearty applause.
Among genteel people, however, we do
not find those boisterous manifestations
which are frequent with those of less cul-
ture. Mr.. st. Germaine, the attentive
treasurer, has found it very difficult to pro
vide seats for all his friends but has af-
forded facilities in the way Of camp stools
down the main aisles, by which many have
been aceOmm odated. Many gentlemen
have gladly accepted seats in the family
circle, from which fine view of the stage
may be had.
. Tonight The theatre will be closed, in
order that the new play, the Peep o. Day."
may be prepared for Monday. We have
no idea Of this piece, but from tie notice,
which will be found elsewhere, we form a
general idea that it will prove to be very
attractive. 1t will be produced for the first
time tomorrow night, and remain on the
stage till further notice. All the leading
members of the company nave been cast in
the piece. An early application to the box
Office will enable our readers to know all
about it.
st. Charles Theatre.
The BLACK Crook " at this establish
ment has recently undergone some changes
in costume and ballet. The magnificent
scenery, however, and the scenic effects re.
main the same. The cascades, grottoes,
illuminated palaces, the dresses of the
fairies, the armor of the Amazons,
and innumerable other marvellous j
attractions glisten in the calcium lights
With unsurpassed brillianoy. The Black
Crook is put on the stage at the st. Char $
les exactly as it was produced at Niblo's
in New York last winter, and is still run
ming. Those who have not seen it here l
will do well to call upon Mr.. Gleason.
the polite treasurer Of the st. Charles, and
secure the necessary seats early in the day. c
1t is one of the most gratifying spectacles d
for young children ever seen in this city. :
Ames' Museum. i
The Crescent City museum contains a |
great variety Of attractions for people Of all t
ages. On entering one is struck with the
beautiful miniature glass engine in opera .
ton, propelled by steam contained in glass q
jars. At hand, ready to receive all callers, {
stands the little queen, who is the smallest !
specimen of q woman that we have ever I
seen in this city. In the same room is
a skeleton Of the largest anaconda Z
ever known to have been captured. There i
are other snakes in the upper story, TO- {
gether with four-footed beasts The baby ele-
plant belongs TO The establishment. She Is at /
present on starring tour in Texas, soon, Z
however, to return. The glass blowers
form very pleasing feature Of the museum, 4
and display endless ingenuity in deyising 0
novelties for the amusement Of visitors, and I
always give some little souvenir to take /
away with them. The museum is open 4
night and day. Il
