MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES.
-~~~~-~~~~~~-~~7>~~~~~
Theatrical affairs In this city, after week OF un-
precedented dulness, win this evening experience .
slight FLIP that will unquestonaby prove welcome
In The present general dearth OF musical and theat-
rical novelty-to the paygoers OF the metropolis.
At Booths theatre Tennyson holds high revel in q
dramatization OF his poem OF "Enoch Ardeh." The
piece mas never before been produced in this city.
although during the past year 1t met withconeder-
able success In the provinces. is dividednto Ave
acts and as many tableaux, and win be brought out
with new and superb scenery and in that careful
style for which this house has long since become
famous. The piece has been admirably cast and
will probably prove as much OF a in this city
. as it did elsewhere. Mr.. Edwin Adams will person
ate that most careless OF husbands, Enoch Arden,
and Miss Blanche De Bar will sustain the role Of
Annie, the wife who was too much married
Tennyson will likewise hold possession OF the
boards at the Fifth Avenue theatre, where Mr..
Charles Reade's dramatization Of his pastoral
poem, 'Dora," will be the attraction. TINS piece
was played in this city about year ago at the
Broadway theatre, with Mrs. Bowers and Mr.. Jack
In the leading roles but did not attract much atten
ton, and was withdrawn after few representa-
tions. At the Fifth Avenue theatre however, 1t
bids fair to meet with quite a different result It
scenery &C., and will be interpreted by company
of clever actors from Selwyn's theatre, Boston.
Miss LIZZIE Price, from the Arch Street theatre,
Philadelphia will sustain the role OF Dora, and Mr..
Frederic Robinson. OF Selwyn's theatre, Will per-
senate Farmer Allan.
The attraction next in order Is the temperance
Of Miss Lucille Western this evening at the Grand
Opera House In her great dual character OF Madame
Vine and Lady Isabel, in the highly sensational play
of EAST Lynne" II Is over year since Miss West
ern last appeared IN this play before a New York
audience, and during the interval she has travelled
professionally over nearly the entire Union. She
will doubtless be welcomed back to the metropolitan
boards by full house of ner old admirers. Miss
Western has taken lease of the Grand opera House
for short season. where she intends bringing out q
number Of her peculiar sensational plays In each OF
which she will appear in the leading role, and will
be supported by strong company.
The next event Of note mentioned in the pro-
grammes is the return Of the Waverey from bur-
lesque to the legitimate. This evening the theatre
above mentioned opens under the management OF
Messrs. Brookes Coleman, with good company
and with very encouraging auspices for successful
summer season. ''The Old Curiosity Shop will be
the attraction, with Miss Rosalie Jack In the dual
character Of Little Nell and the Marchioness. Mr..
Brookes appears as Dick Swiyeler and Mr.. Coleman
as the irrepressible Quilp.
At Nibo's the grotesque and funny Clodoches on
the "ght fantastic" are still attracting large au-
diences Notwithstanding the frghtful state Of the
weather they nightly work their audiences up to
"red-hot' excitement by their harmless and amusing
man9nvres, and never lai to receive the cooling and
soothing balm Of an encore for their artistic trouble
The heavy "sinbad." with the Thompson troupe in
gold fringe and golden hair Is still the prelude to this
enjoyable performance.
Huhbard
calities and pantomimic tricks, bids fair to run
throughout the entire season at Walacks. The bal
let Of bewitchng brunettes and natural blondes is to
all ntents and purposes Just the style OF perform
ance suited for the summer solstice. 1t is light,
airy and graceful and Is, furthermore enjoyable.
The transformation scene, too would be enjoyable
were 1t not for the Clown, Pantaloon Columbine ana
an English policeman who nightly thrust themselves
In front Of 1t for the delectabe purpose of tumnling
about upon the stage in manner quite uncalled for
and useless, thereby detracting from the
ing beauties Of the scene In the background. This
should be remedied at once. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
"Hiccory Diccory,r at the olympic, glides smooth
ly the noiseless tenor OF his way. His way very
evidently is a winning and successful way and tho
only heard is the loud applause OF public ap-
proval with which he is nightly greeted. The pan.
tomime is improving, and so are the Kralfes who
nave long ago succeeded IN dancing themselves into
the good graces Of New York playgoers.
The last week OF the minstrel. gymnastic and
circus combination at Woods Museum Is announced.
Two performances are given daily. at which the
Gregores assist in their daring breakneck acts and
Mlle Gertrude's stuffed monkies ride spirited ana
genuine dogs. Mr.. Edward Eddy will make his
appearance at this establishment next week In q
sensational dramatization Of "rhe Wandering Jew.v
The Bowery, with Blond Fanny Herring, doth
intend dazzling the eyesof the Bowerytes with the
glitter of aye Field OF ye Cloth OF Gold" this even
ing. Zanfretta likewise appears on the tight rope
At the Theatre Comlque Charley White is present
ing series OF light entertainments that attract
ing large audiences. His performances consist OF
comedy, farce pantomime and burlesque, all In one
evening"
Tony Pastor announces the last week OF the sea-
at his popular Opera House. "The Female Fill
busters, OF The Siege of Long Branch,n is the new
drama for the present week at this house. If the
piece Is good its name Is long 1t will be certain
TO prove attractive.
Bryants' Minstres have witnessed with the ut
most complacency the closing OF their big BROTHER
Tammany and so intensely delighted are they there
at that they hold 'Peace jubilee" this evening and
every evening during the week. which their friends
are invited.
