Gr0upe.
We copy from the Green Room the follow
ing sketch of what is to be done at the
Academy of Music during the holidays:
1t will be remembered that for five weeks
during the months of September and OctO-
ber despite the prevailing sickness, which
kept away from the city SO many thousands
of residents and strangers, very excellent
combination troupe, called '1he Gazette
COmique," nightly drew crowded and de-
lighted houses to the Academy Of Music. A
severer and better test of the merits of this
troupe could not be found than this COM
plete success under such very adverse cir
cumstances.
Since they left lis. sthe troupe havemade
the circuit of Spalding, Bidwel e. Nc
Donoug's theatres at Memphis, St. Louis
and Mobile, meeting everywhere with entire
success. They now return to us for the
holidays, and with such additions of varied
talent to their already full ranks, as to
most varied, and most attractive cOmbina-
ton company ever brought together in this
country.
Among the most popular members Of the
old company who return to us are Miss
Jennie Eng1e, Miss Minnie Jackson, Mile.
AntOninO, Mile. Elise, the dashing Kiralfy
Sisters, Miles, Cantana, Birch, Boshell, Wal
corps; Mr. w. B. Cavanagh, Billy Carter, A.
B. Kennedy, William Ennice, and others
well known here.
They will be reinforced by "The Great
Cool Burgess" styled The Nam Who Laughs,
who is reported to be the best salaried and
most popular performer in his line, of the
day. If we can Judge Of an actors talents
by the highly complimentary notices of him
wherever he has appeared, Mr.. Burgess
- ho VII I~1
We shall also have the "Romelli Fam
ily," consisting Of two beautiful young
ladies and one gentleman, who perform a
graceful and thrilling aerial act, fully equal
to the HanlOns.
A brief glance at other performers will
not be amiss. "The Empire Boys" song and
dance performers of reputation; Mile Rosa
and Miss Jennie Murray, solo and character
dancers; Mr.. Harry Giuon and Mr.. F. w.
TOOley, Teutonic comedian, reported to
be superior even to Emmett
From Europe the managers have secured
| the services of "Prince Sida DJalma," the
most renowned cOntOrtiOnist and flexible
man in existence; and of "Signor LazardO,
famous juggler.
These two performers come here with the
reputation of being unsurpassable in their
line, and as performing acts never seen in
this country before.
Last, but not least, we are to be gratiied
with the entertainments of that popular
and talented Irish comedian and vocalist,
William Carlton, who returns to us after
four years absence, and whose Hibernlan
specialties will be remembered with pleas
ure by all theatrc-goers.
Not satisfied with this numerous array OF
attractions, the managers promise to add
fresh talent to the Gazette Comique Troupe
every week, and what they promise they
always perform.
They propose to bring out, also, at short
intervals, the newest burlesques and panto.
mines. The thoroughly elaborate, rich,
complete and tasteful style in which these
pieces are put on the Academy stage is too
well known here to need further comment
from us.
From the brief outline we have sketched,
young and old may expect high sport at the
Academy during the holidays.
