Professor Risley's "Anglo-EurOpean Variety
Troupe" made its first appearance az tie NewYork Cir
Gus Buding-chrisened for the time being Hippo
thearOn"-last evening, in the presence Of large
semby. Tie Troupe has hitherto played during several
weeks past, at the Tammany. There,-accOrding 70 a
formal notice to the public given by Professor Rey at
the head of his present playbithe troupe was sacr
feed through being "obuged to appear under crcum-
stances over which they had control and with the
soeiaons of drinking and smoking, against which they
protested before opening In their newly chosen quar-
ters trust Prof Rseys company will find themselves
congeniay bestowed, and have no doubt that thcr
performances will be fairly viewed The entertainment
given last evening Of miscellaneous character aud
it brought into play a great deal OF positive talent.
Prominent in the exhibition Azea, the female gym
nast who is remarkably skiful, and whose personal
appearance and bearing are agreeable and winning Tho
portraits of this performance that scattered about in
the shOpwndows have done her sort OF justice. She
is the most pleasing person OF the sort that has yet ap
peared. We do not admire public exhibitions OF tho
female person in any form whatsoever; but after ALL
disporting herself the rapeze, and doing gym
nastc feats presents far more delicate and innocet
spectacle than in tights and spanges capefng
on the buresque stage, and striving TO charm by tho
subtle influence OF her beauty. Beside Azela.
at the Hippotheatron, there is troupe OF Spanish
Ballet Dancers, which certainly commends itself
to the taste OF the town at this period
