the lair sex as was desirable or might
be expected for the opening night.
There was, however, a good attend
ance of gentlemen, and the parquette
was full. The frs: play given was
| Ndnaie, or the German Orphans. The
piece was e here, and of q very
pleasing and diversified style, de-
signed especially to exhibit to advan-
tage Miss Kitty Blanchard's wonder
full and refreshing versatility as an
actress and character delineator in her
peculiar line. She certainly made a
decided hit as Mamie" with accom-
panying varieties of representation,
being frequently and d~eservedly ap-
plauded, especially in her German
Character songs and dances. She pos
sesses n pleasing stage appearance,
sweet voice, easy, sprightly style, and
cannot we'll fail to be a prime fayorite
with any theatrical audience. She is
also quite a musician, judging from
her excellent ha-monica solo last even-
ing. Mckee Rankin, too, showed HIM
SCI. to be M artist of no common order
Of merit, pe:souating "Nannie's"
brother Jacob" in highly acceptable
and amusing style. That bit of per-
sonal contest between him aud the
heavy villain Of the play, Hank Ste
vens" Harry Coltonl, was particularly
lively while it lasted. There was no
nonsense about 1t; a squarer or more
vigorous rough-and-tumble battle is
seldom seen even of the stage. Pow
crs, too, rs George S%chrader," devel-
opei fine talents rs a first-rate actor.
One of the most pleasing incidents Of
the evening was the appearance Of la
Petite Darling" indeed q little dar-
ling, with Miss Blanchard, in the song
and dance Of Schneider. Such real
talcut rs that little scrap Of a child,
only half q dozen years old, possesses,
is truly remarkable. She seemed per-
fectly ut home, and rendered her part
with n spirit and effectiveness which
drew forth loud applause and an encore
from the well-pleased audience. Miss
Fanny Young sustained the part of
Bertha" very well, and the balance
Of the cast was satisfactorily rendered.
In the concluding piece, which was the
favorite farce Of The Rough Diamond,
Miss Maggie Moore made her appear
ance as "sMargery," and was received
with n warm a%pplausive greeting from
her numerous friends in the audience,
all remembering her we'll rs the happy
hearted and aspiring young actress Of
two or three years ago on that stage.
She has evidently well improved her
opportunities since then, for now,
grown to womanhood, she appears as
a very excellent actress, of the Sue
Robinson style. "Margery" was de-
servedly applauded throughout, andher
sweet ballad, most admirably rendered,
was loudly %applauded and encored.
Barry made the best "Cousin Joe I'VE
ever saw. He will do. The company
is q success, and the greatest fault we
could find with the whole entertain
ment last evening was n most unjustt-
fable drag, or series Of long. tiresome
pauses between the acts; tho curtain
was kept down altogether too long
every time. This evening will be pre-
sented. for the first time in this sec
ton. the grand spectacular burlesque,
with all the original music, written
for Miss Blanchard, entitled the Field
of the Cloth Of Gold. Previous to this,
Rankin will appear in Morton's laugh
able farce of 4 Regular Fir. No extra
charge for reserved seats.
