ACADEMY OF MUsIo.-There was an audience at
the Academy last evening such as wildly recalled
that brilliant season year ago, when night si'eI
mig ht the psrquette. dress circle and gsi,ery o.
this comfortable thester were crowded WIN
guests. The occasion Of this assemblage was the
production of two new pieces, spectacular ex.
travsganzs, entitled the " Female Forty fhleVes,
and a military drama by Cavanagh, representing
the events occurring hereaoouts during the war OF
1912 In both pieces Miss Belle Boyd and Maude
St. Leon played, it being the first appearance OF
The former in q dramatic character oefore ne"
Orleans audience. They we're received with IN
mistsksble demonstrations Of popular 1svor
and at the close Of the first piece. being called
before the curtain, were greeted with
shower of bouquets such as Flora herseu might
not have disdalDed. The spectacular portion OF
the entertainment did not, we thought, hnd mat
favor fron the spectators which they accorded to
the latter or dramatic portion; nor can even the
live Jardn Mabile scene at the end OF the ex
| travagapza redeem it entirely from that Verdlct
which popular opinion is finally pIonouncins upon
performances appealing only to the sense OF see
Ing The military drama was the gist oil the even
| ing 1t sbounds in good scenery, has wildly
be autful tsbleau of Washington crossing the Del
aware and introduces battle and Domoaroment
scene which sends one - blood thrillisg through his
veins, SO truly to the life is it enacted. We scan
| commend it TO all thester goers as well worthy
| their patronage. Both pieces are to be repeated
| this evening.
ST, CHARLEs-After her performance as Eta
beth at the st. Charles, on Saturday night, Miss
| Jansuscbek visited the ball given by the Turnge
| meinde at their new hail. corner OF Drysdes and
| Lafayette streets, attracting by her queeny bear
| ing and tasteful toilet the admiration OF the
| many guests there present. The ofhcers OF the
! association subsequently invited her to an elegant
repast, at which the health and success of the
| gifted tragedIenne were drunk with great enthu
| tiasm. Last evening she repeated her classic I'm
| personation of Meded, and tonight will appear
for the second time as Mary Stuart.
VARIETIES Mrs. Gladstane began last evening
| the third and what is announced as positively the
fnal week of her engagement, repeating on the
| occasion, before an audience indicative by III
numbers of her high popularity, the character Of
Eiznheth. Tonight she repeats, and for the las
time, Maria Stuart, role which, and we thint
with justice, is by general consent pronounced
her best.
