PfpER's OPERA HoUsE.-A percep-
tible improvement in the humber Of
the audience favored the presentation
OF Paarrette, or Under the Snoc, last
evening. Miss Kitty Blanchard APP
peared to excellent advantage as
"Pauvrette," Mr.. Rankin as the old
soldier Bernard" and Mr.. Power rs
"Count Maurice" The balance of
the cast was passably sustained, and
the play passed off very smoothly
and good. The main sensation point
Of the piece-the avalanche scene
was very well represented, the ava
lanche itself being very creditably
contrived and brought to pass by the
ingenious efforts of MI. Bishop, who
managed the mechanical arrangements
OF the piece. There was no very te-
dious drag to weary the audience, but
the play was concluded in excellent
season, and the audience went home at
about half-past 10 o'clock we'll pleased
and gratified. The effect Of this will
be seen in the increased number Of
the audience tonight. In theatricals,
as well as everything else, quality not
quantity is the point with 4 Washoe
audience. Leader Jacobson, Of the Or
chestra, also showed better judgment
and taste in the musical selections per-
formed last evening. Theatre music is
not necessarily ballroom music.
Operate selections" read we'll Oil the
programmes, and sound better in the
orchestra than old, played-out jigs.
This evening the beautiful twO-act
play, dramatized from Dickens great
novel, entitled Nicholas Ntckle6y, or
Poor Sn'i&e, will be presented this even
ing, with n fine cast, Miss Blanchard
appearing rs ''Smike." Rankin rs
''Noggs," Barry as "Squeers," etc.
Miss Maggie Moore will give a song
aud dance, and Little Darling a fancy
dance III the interlude, and the whole
will conclude with the very popular
and laughable farce of 4 Dead Shot.
