pprn,s OrrRA Housr-"A Aladdin,

PrER's OrERA HoUsE-"Aladdin,
or the Wonderful Scamp" was In bad
luck last Saturday evening. That
queer little extravaganza did not pass
of well at all. Nothing appeared to
work well. not even the scene-shitting.
Miss Sue Robinson, as Aladdin, carried
her part through well, as usual, and
assisted the others rs much as she
could; yet, with perhaps two or three
honorable exceptions, there wa an
apparent lack Of proper study. All
good actors are excusable for an occa-
sional miss, yet the less the prompter
has to make himself heard the better
the audience appreciate the play and
the actors. The beautiful ballets of
the Bonfanti troupe were given In
their best style, and deservedly APP
plauded. As Bonfanti is Queen Of the
Ballet, so Novissimo is the king, and
the true "poetry Of notion Is most
effectively delineated by that famous
ballet troupe. The sailors Horn
pipe was also very prettily and we'll
given by the diminutive Miss Wilson.
This evening We r pleased to know
that the "Field of the Cloth Of Gold'
will be produced, with new scenery,
full stage effects, etc. 1t is the grand
est and best ~burlesque of them all, and
having been we'll studied and prepared
for, il will be put upon the stage in
good style. Sue Robinson sustains the
leading character. and also appears as
Betsy Baker in the screaming farce Of
that name, at the commencement of
the entertainment. The Bonfanti
troupe also give some Of their choicest
ballets. This Is their last night but
one. Go to the Opera House this
evening.

ESrERpRIsISa CIrIzES.-That old

done it," Finding the grade from the

south and east Of the Cemetery, and
connecting with the main road, oppo-
