NIBLO's GARDEN-LOTTA

IOtta's engagement at Nlbl0S Garden VIII
continue to the end OF next week. Her performances,
thus far-as May Wytdrose in Mr. Faconer's Hearts
ease" and Sam Wi!lough6y in Tom Taylors Ticket
ofLeaye Man have been witnessed by crowded assem-
bes 1t is certain that the merry little actress is at the
hight OF her popularity Nor that popularity likely to
wane-for everybody excepting Scr0uge), loves the
cricket the hearth. On Monday Mr.. John Broughams
welknown four-act adaptation OF Tho Old Curiosity
Shop" brought forward at Niblos and Lolita acted
Lille Neil and The Mdrchioness. Our public is familiar
with the drama AS work Of art 1t is a credable at
tempt achieve impossbility. The original novel
cannot be put into play. But Mr.. Brougham
has succeeded in reproducing some Of its best
points and strongest characters and he has devised
several fine situations for Lotta-in which the comic
and serious aspects OF her nature effectively man
ifested. She is precisely speaking neither the Hdeh0
the Little Nell Of Dickens but she resembles BOTH
with an infusion Of Lolita in each case; and she is
bright gay, comical, and sweet What variety there
the piece for stage purposes readers may be
presumed to know At any rate, they have often been
TOLD and they have often had sufficient opportunity to
see This variety shown to the best possible advan
tage the stage Of NibOs Garden. The Fair Scene in
particular was set and carried through exceedingly WELL
1t is in this that Lolita sings the pretty diaecbaad and
dances with much inspiring viyacity. She aroused
lively applause, and she deserved it. Those who
see this elnsh pet of the public in hr. Bronghams
drama see under advantageous conditions, and can
readily perceive the charm by virtue Of which she sue
ceeds pleasing popular taste. The chief parts in The

JANAUSCHEK.
Good attendance and copious applause have
rewarded Madam Janauscheks performance of De6orah
at the Academy OF Music, TO which made particular
and detailed reference on Tuesday She has played the
part three times and has caused real sensation in
dramatic circles Last night she acted-for the first time
in Englshldry Stuart the Queen OF Scots, which per
Torrance will be repeated this evening. For the Saturday
Matinee Deborah" is assigned, and Saturday even
ing, Madam Janauschek viii play in "COme Here" and
Mr. Walter Montgomery will act Claude Neln0e, to the
Pauline Of Miss Agnes Ethel
There was large audience at the Academy-and alarge
audience there would be dense throng almost any where
else "Mary Stuart" hackneyed though it be- has dis
nct popularity Nothing need be said about the drama
Nobody, indeed, but some Christopher Columbus OF
criticsn-not yet come TO the surfacecoud manage to
say anything new oni subject which the press has
been hacking, with noble industry for four FIVE years.
Enough that cystazes the mournful story of Marys
fall and makes an episode OF the past real and
vital spectacle to the present. Madam Janauschek has
often played the part in German and, as often, has
aroused public enthusiasm by emotional power that
is really peerless ana that carries all beyond it, like
whirlwnd This she again manifested last night in the
great third act Of the DRAMA which received with
such spontaneous aud emphatic applause comes from
the OF the people only when deeply touched 1t is
Stuart" But Janausehek equally touching in the
pathetic scene that closes the drama, and her Mary
Stuart viii take is place at among the best drama
! tic successes OF this remarkably brilliant season.
