three acts instead OF two, as ct first, and incud.
ing some new ballots, which have not been
matched in New Orleans in our recollec.
ton. There is one dance, lies Antagonists
which introduces the six stars, Antonino.
Galletti, Cribelli, and Messrs. Csrdella, st.
0dy and szolossy. Now, any one of those
composing this sextette has prestige and talent
enough to send en- audience into an uproar Of en-
thusissm. First, the three male dancers come
upon the stage, srrsyed as young peasants, and
evidently fascinated by the novelties which sur
round them; they gaze about with open mouths
and wonder struck features, looking now above,
now below, now around them 30 comically withal
that one laughs even before the time comes.
They suddenly espy the trio of charmers, nor can
any one blame them, that without more ado they
parcel of the treasure among them, and in another
moment are whirling about mirthfully in the dance,
which itself is new and extremely vivacious in its
music and movements.
Humpty Dumpty plays for week more from
tonight, and will be succeeded by the appearance
of Misses Belle Boyd and Msude st. Leone, with
whom, as is elsewhere stated, Manager Bidwell
has concluded an engagement. Miss st. Leone
was, for q short time, on the Academy stage last
year, where she played leading part in the
' Tale of Enchsntment." Miss Boyd has never as
yet played in New Orleans, city where, however.
she is, undoubtedly. very popular.
Fanny Janauschek, accompanied by her com.
pany, numbering twenty.three performers,
reached the city by rail last evening, and is
stopping at the 81. Louis Hotel. She appears at
the ST. Charles as Marie Stuart" in Schiller's

4 and half for reserved seats, boxes ten and
twelve dollars, and family circle fifty cents.
| Hiss Janauschek plays only in German, yet we
fancy this will render her performances none the
less fascinating to those not 30 fortunate as to be
familiar with her mere language. Rstori played
only in the italian tongue yet she played to houses

stane st the Varieties, and in the recollection o.
the visit of Rstori two seasons since, admirers o.
historic drama are afforded an excellent oppor
