MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
'68" mt the Theatre ComIqueI


Last evening Offenba operetta OF "66"
was produced for the frst time at the Theatre
Comique, on the occasion of Mr.. j. O. Gregory's
benef1t, large audience was In attendance,
and the performance was warmly spplauded
throughout. The opera of "66," like The Mar.
rfe0e by LdntsrnS, Is q pretty little comedy OF
peasant life, and unless all the works put before
the world with Offenbach's name to them are
to be condemned solely because they tail to sat-
isfy the requirements OF the most .Ntenttdc
and cultivated musical taste. IL would be tfi-
cult for the most fastidlous OF the anttOhen-
bachers to urge any legitimate objections to 1t.
whether on account of the music or the llbretto.
The plot turns upon the fact tha at the successful
number in a lottery is "G6." Franz" the hero
or the piece, imagines that he has the
prize. and Immediately INDUCES in
the luxury of blowing his nose on
q silk handkerchief, which had been the object
OF his lifelong ambition. He also procures a
suit OF clothes which he i,Aagines are more
suited to his new dignity as man o. wealth
than his peasants garb, and in : general state
of elevation, caused by his good fortune he
cruelty ill-treats his pretty little cousin "Grett
ley" To the dismay of "Franz" however, 1t is
demonstrated to him that he has read his
ticket upside down, and that instead OF "66" IT
is "99." To balance this bad luck however, the
pedler who informes him of his misfortune
turns out to be the brother-inlaw of "Grett.
ley" Having come back from his travels with
any amount of wealth, he joins the hands of
"Franz" and "Grettley," and promises to share
with then The prize too is drawn by - ules,'
the lover of Annette" the sister of "Grett-
ley" 80 that the money is secured in the family
after all.
The music Is most of II exceedingly pretty,
and more In Offenbach's usual style than The
Marriage by Lanterns. Miss Susan Galton, who
Is becoming more and more popular every day +,
acted and sang the part OF "Grettley" in very
pleasing style. "Home, Sweet Home" which
she introduced, was encored, and she was obliged
to repeat "Coming thro the Rye" which she
gave in answer to encore OF an air In the first
act. Mr. Whifin's vocal powers were equal to
the requirements of the role Of Fritz" and he
acted with a great deal of spirit.
The farce of The Pair Of Pigeons, with which
the performance CONNIE need, is lively little
affair, which served TO put everybody in the
best humor. The characters were well acted by
Miss Blanche Galton and Mr. Whiffin. This
gentleman Is comedian OF more than usual
ability and his good acting goes far towards
covering his deficiencies a vocalist.
We are pleased to see that the public are be-
ginning to apprc 1iate the very attractive enter
tainments offered at the Theatre Com1que. The
house is pretty and comfortable, and the per-
formances of q kind calculated to please the
popular taste.
