The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-03-14
We have been banded the following beautiful


Lives the grand queen who loved her country well,
And owned ale glance only to her GOD.
She heaved her heart when Essex plead herlove; |
so fred her eye when Philip dared her hate;
So when at Tilbury she dauntless spoke,
Ere the proud Spsniards met their direful rate = \
So to the ,rom0n-'md her maidens moved
Fore citing thrones, and crowns, and pomp and |
powers,
" In maiden meditation, fancy Free"
Willing to while with love the passing hours.
So, too, she felt her besuteous rivals taunts;
So flung back hapless Mary's venomed scorn,
And welding TO her hearts unbridled hate,
sent her fair rival to her doom forlorn.
II is no fiction tits no faDcied queen!
Elizabeth stands forth, in our own times,
A. 10 great Shakspesre's spirit searching sight,
BlszoniDg alike her virtues and her crimes.

departs TO fulfill an engagement In --
We are to have two or three new sensations
this week. Managers seeming disposed to pile
Pelion upon Ossa in their attempts to reach the
heaven of success. Manager Floyd tomorrow
night brings out the Lottery OF Life" sensation
drama by John Brougham, first produced at the
Walnut street, Philadelphia, about eighteen
months since. and PLAYED last summer for sixty
consecutive nights at Wallack's, New York, with
the author in the principal character, Terry the
Stceu. The piece introduces two capital scenes,
one in the second act representing the Japonica
Concert Saloon, and the other ferry scene, at
the close of the last act. Both of these together
with full length pictures Of Terry the Swell 90 be
thoroughly depicted in highly colored posters on
walls and fences everywhere this morning.
The advertising of the Lottery of Life " has
been very extensive. Fac-Simile limitations OF
lottery tickets have been distributed broadcast
ard co. too, have small circular pocket mirrors,
the back OF them labelled " Varieties Theater-
John Brouehsm's great play of the Lottery of
Life, every night and Saturday noon" Manager
FLOYD is evidently determined that the town snall
be thoroughly billed, and that If the public does
not know of the Lottery of Life" it shall not
be for want of advertising

everybod at the Academy, for the last two or
three DAYS. Well, who is the man at the wheel
Why, IIiOn to be sure, condemned BY an edlct
from Olympus TO everlasting revolutions, only, II
seems, TO have his sufferiDgs made mock OF
by one of our modern play-wrights. People
crowded TO see the piece for over two hundred
consecutive nights, at Woods theater, In New
York. where, under the auspices OF the beautiful
lydia Thompson il was first produced last year.
The management of the Academy have dis
PLAYED a very creditable stroke OF enterprise IN
the production of this famous musical b1rlesque.

reward for the piece Is TO be put on with all the
appliances of new scenery, mechanical enects,
music wardrobes, properties. and appointments.
