With regard 70 the coming troupe it is generally

Mad. Gambler sang here in 1858, at the Orleans
Ineater, and was engaged for the season at the

illness of six weeks duration prevented her ap-

ifely modulated, and her knowledge of stage effect

recently in Paris are enthusiastic in their encom
INNS OF her performances. She is now in the
zenith OF her powers and her reputation. Madame

Audibert. Picot, whose voice is a very rare and
cultivated one, will be restricted to bis regular
evenings, instead of straining it on every opera
night as he did last year. Engel comes, heralded
by European or Partisan reputation. Perout.

the bssso, is considered one of the best on any
stage, end everybody remembers his splendid
presentations of Faust and Bertram.
