Miss Gray satisfied the requirements OF the part
OF the heroine so far as could be determined N
conception is,. however, new to her,
finished, and completed, as the e,igenciea
Of the stage and her own taste and dit :retions
shall finally decide. Mrs. Chanfrau, 8 good
actress, anda charming lady, comes this geek to
the Academy, with the prestige OF good success
in Eastern cities. Her principal piece ia ! new
version of East Lynne" which has re :eived
the approval OF the critics elsewhere, and Te
presume will be equally successful in Chic 1go.
A1KEN's THEATRE.
Only fair audiences hare attended Ar. A:ken'a
Theatre since the advent of the Oates party.
The place has had its share Of the public patron
age, which has been nowhere in excess, ahG the
auditors have been Of the best social material
that the city affords. We have already spoken OF
the company at some length, and in terma
Of praise. 1t has several excellent people, and
is generally under superior state OF discipline
Mrs. Oates is too well known IN Chicago to need
our commendation- There is no brighter, live
buriesque business, and she is far from desti-
tute Of vocal ability. The last quality is subsi-
diary in burlesque opern but has it's value Mr.
Crane is still with the troupe, an actor Of inf-
mite jest, and having a voice not Unpleasant to
listen to in concerted music. Miss Kate Frazier
also sings reasonably well, Mr. Drew has a
good baritone voice under toleraple culture.
Nothing in the musical line has been pzethar
than the charming quagtette, @From the Noun
tains and the Ellis" sung by Mrs.
Oates, Miss Frazier, End Messrs. Drake and
Crane. In the concluding scenes Of For
,tunio' there we're also introduced many new and
lively airs, some OF them sung for the first time
in the city. ''Fortunio" has been mounted With
care, and played with all regard to minor bCrles-
que effects. The theatre improves upon &C.

nounced, BY the Abbot-KiraHy Pantomime and
Ballet troupe, with the ss Three Hunchbacks,"
to which will be added many minor at
fractions. The theatre should be filed out ot
compliment to the enterprise shown by Mr.

of the season. It embraces several entirely new
acts, interspersed with sweet ballads, comic re-
frains, and orchestral selections. Arlington

MAC EYoYs H1DERT1CoS.
MacEvoy's New Hbernicon, at the Ha1Bted
Street Opera House, continues to attract Largo
and appreciative audiences. The performance
embraces panoramic views Of the principal citiea
and historic localities Of the Emerald Iafa, COMIC
and sentimental songs, and witty sayings. The
paintings are well mounted, and it is said by
are remarkably true to nature. Tho Hibernico1
will remain during the week.
MUSIC.
The musical record Of the city for the lash
week contains little Of interest. The echoes Of
the Thomas concerts still linger, undistnrbed by
any other sounds, and for 8 few weeks to como
the lull will not be disturbed by anything but anna
terr concerts. The first event Of importance viii
be the Patti-M2rio concerts, which will be given
commencing Nov. 16. Then there will be an
other gap until Dec 2, when Rubinstein and
Wiemiawsky appear, then another until Februa-
y, when Thomas returns, End then another un-
til May, when the Jarrett-Afaretzek troupe comes
to close the season. The intervals between
these dates will be filed with a1nnteu1 .concerta
and entertainments by travelling troupes; in
c1uding the Aimee Opera :Boufe party; which
has been completely reorganized- For the p1ea-
ent week there is little to notice. The principal
attraction will be
