The amusing pantomime of Flick and

Varieties Theatre.
The NEUROLOGICAL comedy of "Pygmalion
and GaIatea" at the Varieties Theatre is
one of the most elegant productions that
has ever been put on the New Orleans
stage. The costumes, the scenery, the sit

the play, all inspire the chastest thoughts,
and one could sit for hours at time, look
and listen, and forget everything but the
actors and the stage. The comedy was
written by Mr.. Gilbert, to whom Mr. Ray
mond pays large sum for every time he
produces it, THIS evening Mr. Raymond
will take farewell benefit, and if the

convention IN San Francisco, recently, with one
half of his face shaved clean and the other side
covered with a full beard. He explained his
singular appearance by saying that IL was in
recognition of the fact that man was half man
and half woman. This novel theory, and the
fact that he was at q woman's suffrage conven-
ton, showed clearly that he was insane, and he
was at once sent to the asylum for those persons
who are little madden than their neighb ors, to
remain until he can learn to shave or not shave
