MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
"ISOcil Creve.0


Inc success OF Herves opera of Ion C,sys last
evening was as decided as it was unexpected For
some reason ths piece did not hit the fancy of New
YORK, and it came to with the reputation of being
rather weak affair. The house last evening was
moderately well filed, but 1t was evident that no
enthusiasm existed about the production of an entire
novelty. Those who remained away missed agenune
treat, and those who attended out of mere curiosity
remained to applaud with enthusiasm
Inc nDretto, which was written by the composer
makes rather silly piece Of extravagance the
main incident of the plot. A young lady gets her
eye pierced with arrow while endeavoring to
Work the target at shooting-m9tch so that her
lover will win the prize This idea has the merit of
oddly at least but, which is of more Importance, a
number of well-indviduaized comedy persona gas
are introduced, which call for hrst-rate acting and
the whole is set to delightful music. IL Ea CrcDs
is scarcely enough Of a burlesque to be classed
among the operas bou6 and it is rather tooextrava
giant for u legitimate comic opera. 1t is nearer the
style of La Grdnde Duchesse than of any of OlTcn-
bach's pieces that have yet been given
hereby either OF the French troupes, and the music
throughout is OF higher grade than any OF that
popular composers. Some passages are not unlike
Ofenbechs familiar strains but most of the melodies
are evidently written with greater care than he
usually gives, while they lose nothing in grace and
&, brilliancy by comparison with his llyeest airs.
''Ma Pauvre Dlndonnette" sung by Madame Rose
Bell; Gallons gal Chasseur," a fine chorus which
was given in admirable style; the duet between
"Alexandrlvore" and "Dndonnette," commencing
"Deja tout mon sang bouillonn;" the legend of the
Atmospheric Lobster, ''Sur les rves de rAdour;' the
rondeau "Menuisere," by "Lal Feur de Noblessc;'
"a mes regards voles," by "Alexandrivore," in the
third act; and the duet with "Dndonnette," which
follows are all beautiful and were heartily encored
Last evening.
The performance was in every way worthy OF com
mendaton, and the great variety of eccentric char
acters enabled the members Of the tronpe to distn
guish themselves actors as well as singers. The
choruses were sung in manner not often equaled
on the stage of the Academy, and the piece was
placed upon the stage In style of completeness, as
regards costumes, accessories, etc. that fully
realized all the promises given by the management
We hope that Mr.. Grau will repeat LdsH CreVe, and
we are confident that the oftener it Is heard the
better it will be appreciated.

THE FAIR AT WASHINGTON HAIL.
The attendance on the Orphans Fair at
Washington Hall, last night, was larger
and more brilliant, if possible, than
on the night previous. The Fair has
lost nothing of attraCtiveness in any of
its departments and will tonight pre-
sent as great and fine display as on the
first night. The ladies have our thanks
for favors. We are requested to return
the thanks of the Sisters having the
Fair in charge to Messrs. Young II Co.
and Robert Luke for the use of carriages
and to Mr.. Thomas Hernbrook for do.

out regard to denomination, seem uni

they are doing it. The receipts for the
first night amounted to nearly $500 and
last night we judge they exceeded that
figure. This being the last night, let us
all go and make the receipts greater
than those of the two previous nights.
