MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

"rhe Bohemian Grip by the English Troupe.
The performance OF The Bohemian Girl last even
ing attracted q large audience at the Academy OF
Music as 1t generally does IL there is to
pect that IL will be well rendered. This opera fully
deserves Its popularity for it is full OF very pretty
music that is worth hearing frequently; ana al
though the musicians dispute its claims to high
merit the public find enjoyment in it, and conse-
quently fill the theatre when it is brought out to
greater extent than they do for more pretentous
com positions. The performance last evening passed
of in excellent style, Miss Rose Hersee acting and
singing the part Of "Arline" very charmngly. Mr.
Campbell had his ''heart bowed down with weight
Of woe" in a manner satisfactory to the audience
and Mr.. Bowler narrated with good
lyric expression how 'the fair land Of Poland was
trod und er the hoofs OF the ruthless invader" The
most interesting event OF the evening, however,
was the debut In this city OF Miss Fannie Goodwin
who In the role OF the "Gipsy Queen" displayed
capabilities that promised well for what she will be
able 10 do when she has obtained sufficient expert
ence to make her feel perfectly at home upon the
stage Miss Goodwin has pleasing presence, and
her acting last evening indicated that she posse
good dramatic abilities. Her voice is clear and
sweet and her method is good. She only needs
practice and culture to make her a very pleasing
singer and q valuable addition to any operatic
troupe.
