Ball of the Young Mems Benevolent
AaaOeiRtlon.

Ball of the Young Mems benevolent
AaaOeiation,
We feel sure that the National theatre,
Mardi Gras night, was never before made
the scene of so much pleasure, beauty, and
hearty enjoyment, This was certainly one
Of the best if not the best and completest
arranged ball Of the season. The man
ayers evidently had left nothing undone to
satisfy all their friends, having the par
quette solidly fioored over even with the
stage. One feature was plain-there were
no Wall-howers, the room being so COM
plete for dancing parties that the architect
forget them. The toilets were as finished
and tasteful az we ever saw, and in severa!
instances unusual excellence was OBJ
servable. As to the ladies, the managers
undoubtedly are in possession Of some
powerful aid that enabled them to Gull the
most charming and beautiful Of the city,
and they all went there 10 pay homage to
Terpsichore. Without exception, the
dancing was most artistic and graceful,
and luxurious as only New Orleans may
show. The only unpleasantness, il IN
pleasant, was that the theatre was too
crowded for free dancing. We suspect that
these benevolent yoGHg men Tiil treat their
friends to another party St. Joseph's night
st. Charles Theatre
"Nobody's Daughter, as dramatized by
], F. Durivage from Miss Braddon's story
of that title, was performed at the St.
Charles last evening. The leading eharac-
ters are sustained throughout with great
credit to the performers. 1t will be re-
peated this evening, and the merits OF the
play entitle the proprietor to full house.
The popular treasurer, Nr. T. Gleason, VIII
derive great pleasure in assigning good
seats 10 those who purchase tickets OF ad-
mission at an early hour.
Mrs. Perrin, in the three difficult charac-
ters Of Jenny wilson, Lady ErerSleigt', and
lialdns BT1ter, but particularly as Lady
EVersleigh, proved herself to be an actress
of rare power. Mr.. Harkins as Andrelo
Lorksplu, the detective, sustained bis role
admirably. .'Nebody's Daughter is one OF
the best, if not the very best performance
at the st. Charles this season.
Academy of Music.
While there are so many attractions at
the Academy it is difficult to discriminate
in favor or against any particular feature in
the programme. The Clinetop sisters
dance, the Miaco brothers swing, the beau
tifnl young ladies mentioned in the bill
sing, Billy Emerson is great in his line, Jim
Grow is alive, the Algerine dancing master
is proficient, and everything so different
makes one harmonious whole. Something
new in the programme every night.
Varieties Theatre.
The Marble Heart'' was on the boards
of the Varieties last evening, wheh AIr,
Edwin Adams, whose engagement closes
this week, appeared again as Phidids and
Raphael Tomorrow evening is the. benefit
Of Mr.. Adams. This evening, dreams Of
Delusi0n,a and the "Dramatist.
New Opera House.
This evening is the fifth night Of Meyer
beers grand opera Of The Prophet at
the New Opera house, and there should be
no hesitation in securing seats early, for this
fayorite opera always draws the patronage
Of the hundreds who are admirers OF agree
able entertainments.
