Academy OF Music-LaRue's Minstrels'
The burnt cork performance at the Academy
Of Music attracted fair audience last night, and
the songs, witticisms and broad burlesques were
greeted with irrepressible laughter. This troupe
has decidedly more originality than is displayed
by most minstrels, and has the decided advantage
OF possessing "male" singer who mas voice oil
rare "female' compass. Signor Ricardo. the
prima donna OF the troupe, would alone draw q
full house, but the repertoire is extensive and the
fund OF amusement seems inexhaustible.
To-day there will be two performances-one as
o matinee and the other as usual ut night. At
the matinee the children and young folks will
have an opportunity OF beholding the far.iamed
troupe, with full programme, at half price.

Golden Locks.
The production of this play on Monday has
been looked forward to with great interest as

has been painted and the Baltimore theatres have
been called upon to contribute to the general et-
feet. The transformation scene will be gorgeous,
but will hardly eclipse the general rendering OF
the play. About two hundred seats have been al
ready reserved for Monday, and persons who de-
sire to secure choice places should be early in
their selections.
