THE DRAMA.

In point of business prosperity, the local the
aters have no cause OF complaint AS writer OF parody
has said "The public all has greenbachs In its hands
aud pays, and pays, and pays" Mostly IT pays for the
Ballet Crowds flock 10 Nblos to see Bonfant in The
White Fawn" and other crowds flock to the Olympic
Theater, to see Rgl and sangall in "Humpy Dumpty"
Il should not be forgotten though that the Ballet attac
ton s in both cases strengthened by gorgeous scenery
and in the latter case still further augmented by the
winning spirit OF uproarious mirth "Humpty Dumpty"
Of course the advantage OF freshness 1t just fin
ishing its second week No notable bud OF novelty has
"as he is very potent with such spirits"
continually evokes the rosy gods iof mirth
by dnt OF new tricks and characteristic antics. Some
curtaimen is to be made in the dancing, and believe
that the performance to be divided into two parts by
tho fall o.. the curtain the end OF OF the long ballet
advertisements This will be wise. 1t is to he noted that
there will be pantomine matinee to-day at the olym-
pic and We particularly commend the entertainment as
calculated to please children They may, indeed, be
bored with the dancing all their sensible elders are
but they will certainly enjoy the pranks OF Mr. Fox and
the white donkey. At Nibos, also, there will be Mat
nee when the white Fawn will be presented for the
65th time startling rumor, by the way Is aoat to the
effect that Mr. Wheatley, when the ballet business be-
comes used up" will turn his mighty mind to Shakes
pearc 1t would be more sad than strange TO see
the great creations OF that wonderful genius moving upon
so long devoted to senseless spectacle aud
ing ballet girls However, trouble need be borrowed
on that head Standing many feet. the ballet will
no, be easily overthrown Calf Will hold its against
genius for long time yet The public say, pays for
this sort Of exhibition. aud paFs yeU beraiY' II also
