OLYMPIC THEATER.
The career of Little Faust at the Olympic
Theater approaching its conclusion. Two weeks
fancy, will bring 1t to end Those who only saw
she musical burlesque in the first week Of its representa-
COn not it at its best Very little OF the music
was sung during that week. several of the performers
were ILL., Mrs. Oates in particular, disabled by sick
ness. Since then, however "health and youthful Jo
y" have beamed upon the warblers and now the piece
Is both acted and sung with far vim and skill, and
with far better effect than at first. MI Fox as Mdrd-
with his dry droery and spontaneous mschief-is real
blessing and not in disguise. He makes us laugh, and
therein he does good There is much to enjoy ALSO in
the vocalism of Mrs Oates Mr.. Allen, Mr. W. H. Crane,
and Miss Marian Taylor If the chorus OF soldiers would
but sing The Watch the Rbine'-whlch they might
very appropriately do when they come marching In on
their way 10 the war-we fancy that local Ger
man patriotism would richly reward the efort-One Of
the subordinate performances in "Lttle Faust is
worthy Of mention here as showing marked progress
on the part of youthful player We aude to Miss
Lula Prior's personaton Of Kari, the gentleman OF
capers." Not very long ago. Miss Prior was playing
chiLdren-Liihe Era, etc, at Barnum's Museum.
We are pleased 10 note her advancement TO more i'm
Iortat characters-The next event of moment at the
olympic Theater will be the production OF Mr. Foxs
New Pantomme This has been in preparation for a
very long time and II is, assured, work OF un-
common merit Mr.. Fox has had many years OF e&pe-
Iencr in this line Of art and every theaerg0er knows
that lis natural aptitude for 1t is great In fact as
d comic pantOmimist Mr.. Fox has equal in tho pro
s,on and since the best days of the Ravels no pan
tomimes have been so successful as his Upon this new
one he is understood TO have expended great care and
hard work The paAomme will, 1t is said, abound
with ktclling tricks, Of novel ana ingenious
character. And, OF course, the pervading spirit
Of the piece will Dc that OF the roslest
fun Two TRANSFORMATION scenes Of particularly beau
have been prepared under the very competent
direction Of Mr. Hayes the manager Of the house. who is
also one Of the best scenic artists in America. There will
Ieno ballet" for which relief much thanks" But we
understand that Mr.. Fox-upOn whom, OF course, the
pantomime must mainly 6epend-wil have the assist
suce of a company Of competent players. Early IN
his feature OF entertainment at the olympic
always popular, and likely 10 be more 30 now than
ever because il has been absent so long-w1 be pre-
seued 20 the public Before the PantOmime is brought
out however, the Olympic Theater will be closed for
few dc order that the necessary rehearsals may be
thorough To the iuveie population, as well as to all
who enjoy innocent sports this Is the best news we have
printed for q long tlme.
