st. Charles Theatre.
The popular demand for comic opera
brought Mrs. James A. Oates and her su-
perior company to New Orleans once more,
and chance directed her this time to the
st. Charles Theatre, where, on Sunday
evening, she had cordial welcome and
crowded house. The Comedietta of 1.-TWO
Puddif0ots" was the initial performance,
and created some amusement, but the
cr0Wniug performance was the production
of OtfenbaChs great success, the opera of
Lies Bavards.' In the cast were Mrs.
James A. Oates w. H. Crane, J. Howson,
G. Il. Drew, j. II. Jones, Mrs. A BOudinOt,
Miss Maggie Glenn, E. Koran, j. w. Shan
non, II. Jones and Miss Kate Fraser. Mrs
Oates our readers know all about. She is
just as charming and piqnant as ever, and
perhaps even little more SO. Nj. John
HOwson as Beahtce, the chattering wife of
Sarntent0, a wealthy citizen (Mr w. II.
Cranel, is all our fancy painted him, and
he was painted in the highest style of the
art. The same play WAS produced last
night, ami the programme will he repeated
to, night.
