"Dora" was again produced last evening
at the St. Charles, when Mr.. Couldock's
Farmer Allen was touchingly and truthfully
represented. Miss C,uldock's Dora and
Miss Osborne's Mary Morrison were natural
renditions. As before intimated Mr..
Couldock's personation Of the leading
character cannot be improved. He has a
natural talent for that peculiar line of
character which few Others possess, and is
unrivalled as Farmer Allen. milky White
was the concluding comedy, and Belle
Hewitt rendered anna While charmingly.
This evening Dora" again, and the great
Couldock specially of the "Willow Copse."
Monday evening Whitman's great Persian
ballet troupe in the Enchanted White
Fawn." Friday evening benefit of Mr..
Couldock and his daughter.
Varieties Theatre.
Last evening the beautiful pastoral drama
of Dora" was presented for the second
time at the Varieties. The rural scenery
shows the grandeur of nature, and that in
the last act picturing the wheat fields, hill
sides and valleys, and the village church in
the distance, so deceives the eye that the
Illusion is perfect. Mr.. Ryer's persona
ton OF Farmer Allen approaches nearly to
tie Couldock standard, while Miss Orton
as Dora enters so fully into the spirit of
that character that she now seems superior
to Miss Couldock in the same role. Mr..
Floyd's Luke Bloomfield improves, and he
has become more truthful and accurate in
his personation than Mr.. Stevens. Mr..
Sheridan's William Allen is faultless. Go
to the Varieties this evening and see
Dora" for it is a play worth witnessing.
Academy of MuaIc.
One step, one movement, one glance of
her eye, one burst of her song, and Mrs.
Oates as Ider made most favorable i'm
preston on the audience at the Academy.
Undine,' the plot of which is drawn from
the same legend of the Rhine as the favor
lite spectacle of the Naiad Queen" is one
OF the most gorgeous productions ever
prepared for the stage in this city. The
scenery is elegant, the costumes dazzling
and beautiful, the march OF the AmaZons
grand, the ballet fascinating, and the en-
tire spectacular combination such as has
never before been witnessed. 1t is no
worder that the management is rewarded
with full houses. The charming Sohlke in
the shadow dance" creates the most un-
bounded admiration. Miss Engel as ''Un-
dine" and Captain Engel and Captain Cri.
belli as leaders of Amazonian troops, are
applauded frequently. 60 this evening to
the Academy and see the whole spectacle,
not excepting the ballet of gollen leaves,
the FREELY ballet, or the can-can,
Crescent city MIuSeum.
There is this advantage about the MI.
scum, that the admission fee is small and
the doors are open at any time in the day
or evening. The twin girls. sometimes
called the two-headed girl, sing prettily and
converse freely. The smallest woman in
the world, unlike others of her sex, makes
no secret about her age. The new custom
of smoking under water, where the odor of
the meerscheum is offensive to nobody,
must be admired especially by those who
do not smoke. The Circasian Beauty, with
the euphonious name Of Salamma Agga, is
there So likewise is Professor Greiner,
the Bohemian glass blower. 10 addition
may be seen the animals in the menagerie,
the happy family of quadrupeda, and Gu
riosities from all parts of the world.
