New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-11-13
Re1istratiOn in AlgieFe.

Registratfon In AlgicKs.
The votes registered in Agiers amount to
2482. Algiers, cow known as the Fifth Dis
mated as the parish Of Orleans, right bank,
is about fourteen miles in length, and is
capable of containing great many people.
The publication in this paper about the
registr ~ of Algiers being 1875, alluded to in
the Times of yesterday, was founded on the
mistake of resident of Algiers, who had
paid but little attention to the matter; but
had heard it said two or three weeks before
the close Of the registration. that the num-
Der registered was 1875. This our infor-
REPUBLICAN was not official, yet the Times
makes it the basis of such differences as
should never be made except on reliable
grounds.
The Lancers At the Academy Of Music.
In announcing the advent Of the New
England comedy company, under the di-
rection of Louisa Moore and Charles Wynd
ham, late Of Wallack's, New York, the
managers deserve the thanks of all play
goers for presenting most entertaining
performance, as we'll Us one Of the highest
artistic excellence. The universal praises
accorded to these two young artists and
their excellent company must be to great
extent meritea by moro than ordinary
talent. ~The Lancers," the play in which
they make their debut, ia one well calcu-
lated to display judicious combination Of
artists forming the company.
We might say much in praise Of them,
but Q few words regarding the two princi
pal members will suffice to give our readers
fair idea of the rest. Miss Louisa Moore
presents us something entirely new and If
resistibly attractive. The picture Of a lady,
young, beautiful. graceful and dignifed;
vivacious without exaggeration. pathetic
and powerful without rant, exhibiting every
phase in the. gamut Of emotion with the
calm power and perfect finish of a thorough
artist, and Miss Moore is personally as
highly gifted as she is mentally. Fresh,
fair and young, Of beautiful features and a
slight and elegant figure, added to VIM
ming gr ace and gentleness Of manner. she
enlists the warmest sympathies Of her au.
dience by her appearance rs well as by her
acting. Her school ia entirely different from
the con ventional stage heroine, 90 familiar to
all play -goers. She moves and talks on the
stage with all the natural ease of high
bred lady at home, and without effort gives
full expression and effect to every emotion.
To see her is a lesson that any lady might
study with advantage. hr. Charles Wynd
ham is a welcome addition to our limited
number Of good young comedians. He is
young, good looking, easy and graceful on
the stage, and evinces fine appreciation of
the many points afforded to him by the
dashing part of JoticGur, the Lancer. Mr..
Wyndham, like Miss Moore, is entirely
free from stage conventionalism, and his
enthusiasm and earnestness, toned down
by fine artistic perception, carries his
audience with him. In some scenes
especially the drunken scene, he displayed
remarkable talent for unexaggerated
mimicry. Of the piece, much has been said
by our contemporaries, and much more
might still be said. 1t abounds in every
element to please comedy, pathos, drama
and sensation: it is illustrated in strong and
forcible colors Of bright uniforms, thrilling
and powerful situations, lively music and
singing, and judicious sprinkling of gun
powder, cOntrasted by some Of the most
delicate scenes Of refined comedy and wit.
To describe the action of the various scenes
would be to rob them Of their brightness.
Let every one see it, and enjoy one of the
most remarkable dramatic treats that has
been offered here for many years.
CANAL STREET FERRY.-For some weeks
past, the Canal street ferry has been under
going a process Of renovation, by extending
the wharf over sixty feet into the stream,
beyond the old line of wharf front This
will enable the boat to make landings with
great facility, and enable passengers to land
with more ease and expedition. Meantime,
the steam ferry-boat Louise has been thor
oughly repaired, every part having been
Overhauled and strengthened. She is now
ready for duty, and will, we understand,
running next Tuesday morning.
The additions and Improvements on the
Louise will add greatly to the comfort Of
especially in wet or cold
weather. The Canal Street Ferry Company
exhibit a laudable spirit Of enterprise in
making these improvements at so large an
outlay, and the gentlemanly manager, Mr..
McChesney, deserves great credit for the
judgment shown in meeting the require
ments of the public. -s.L,f .,s-
