TIE DRAMA.
MISCELLANEOUS MENTION.

The reOpening of the Olynpic Gheater, with
Opera Bouffe, appointed TO take place this evening Is
the novel incident of tne week in local theatrical enter
prise. Mile Aimee and a carefully selected company
will appear-not, as first announced In La Grande
Duchesse" but in the If less brilliant and dashing
opera of ia Periohole" Some time has passed since
this sort OF entertainment was last offered in New-York
1t recurs under uncOmmOnly auspciOus crcumStances
We do not doubt 1t will be welcomed. The Olympic the
ater, during the ended, has been ceansed
and redecoratcd. Mile Aimee enjoys wellearned pop
ularity artist in opera boue, ana during her stay
at the Olympic that theater cannot fail to be tho home
mrth In other directions the aspect Of public enter
tainments remains substantially unchanged. We note
the continuance OF "Pygmaon and G&latea" at Wal
lacks; "Arrah-Na-Pogue" at Booths; "Le Roi Car
rOtte" at tho Grand opera House; Agnes" at the
Union Square Theater; and diamonds" at the
Fifth Avenue Theater. 1t is, however, announced
that Diamonds" at the latter house, will
be kept the stage only two weeks longer. Ffom va
rlous indications Judge that Mr.. DAYS contemplated
production of The Merry Wives of Windsor will short
ly occur. Mr. Charles Fisher making his first appear
apce in the Fifth Avenue Theater will personate FdSag
In Shakespearean performances long ago. he used to be
beautiful reader Of the text his abilities an artist are
of high order and there is to anticipate that
his FaSa0 will be persOnaton worthy OF scholar ana
a humorlst Theatrical people sometimes appear to
think that they do fine thing and quite enough 10 cover
themselves with glory they take one ofshakespeares
signs are that in this case intellectual effort will be
made in an earnest spirit and with suitable surroundings
II must inspire sympathy and win support Public
attention to theatrical matters, this season. Is bestowed
in liberal attendance. No good play has lacked advance
mcnt, and no show whatever has been neglected.
"Arrah Na-Pogue" and Mr.. and Mrs Boucicault
have certainly received welcome warm as heart
could mako IL, at Booths Theater, where that
best of Irish plays-Decause at once rational,
romantic various truthful pathetic, gay and pure-has
been set upon the stage with really beautiful scenery
and is acted for the most part In manner thaI onoS

and not a chamDerma1-might be desired; ana IL might

The o. Grady by Mr.. Joseph Wheeock The latter gen
teman comes we believe. from the West; and we think
him the most interesting and promising OF the new pay
ers that Mr. Booth has transpaned from the provincial
to the netropoan stage. His nature seems earnest;
his manner is unObtrusive his acting SHOWS queAhess

Mr. Wbeeocks appearance here without word OF recog
