comoal story about gay young knights who went
forth in search Of as many damscl and got ntotroube
first with the siren sorceress Aecra rKeent. and then
with the Emperor OF Morocco r BecketD. The burlesque
opening particularly happy. II trayesties the famous
myth OF Ulysses passing the Sirens; and tho scenery
helps the idea great dealbcns composed on the model
Of Turner's picture After that, and little intermediate
fun and description, various and merry scene on

tnorous part Of the piece is mainly dependent-depcts
the woes OF the sea-sick traveller. with gToat accu
racy and droery. Very often. in times past, we have
had occasion TO commend this artists true and delight
ful method in buresque. He seems born to
the motley. He has the keenest love OF
fun, combined with the keenest enjoyment Of
It. and his gravity is wOndrous. u Is
q gravity Of temperament less than aspect
II is the mental as well the physical constitution Of
che true comedian In this burles9ue Mr.. Beckett
has many scenes garnished with the customary liberal

Yankee. Fancy Moor who wears striped trOwsers--
green and white-and white hat trimmed with brsss.
so aocOutered Mr.. Beckett moves through the queer
mazes Of this burlesque delightful embodiment OF
comic absurdity Miss Thompson enacts the chief Of the
champiops-he of whom Aleetrd Is enamored and who
elays the dragon and the beautiful La Sabra
st. george of England Her dresses it is needless to
are beautiful and it almost equally needless to add
that her rich and saucy geefuness Of manner her sash
ing vocaism, and her contagious goodnate, are Ike
wise charming. Individuality that peases and art
that glitters unite i'll this lady's performance,
and make it unique and fine. A great deal OF aux
ar pretness eOGperates with her. Miss Alice Harri-
son is brave in gold and velvet and nmbe and earnest
as ever-as ST. Denis Of France. Other ladies' as the
cast below denotes assist in these merry festivities The
chief male buresduers after Mr. Beckett, Mr Keene

as the Sultan; and Mr.. g. c. Charles whe is lugubr-
