The patronage given to the Globe Theatre,
when it first began tho vaudeville business, it
still retains. With the classes OF people ia
tinues unabated. It still keeps it's ballet,
which may be numbered among the best in tho

HooLE7's OPERA HOUSE.
The business Of the opening week at 1Ir.
Hooleys new theatre has been uniformly good
The house was crowded on Monday night, aud
succeeding evenings have Witnessed scarcely any
diminution in numbers. The Abbott Panto-
mime Company, with the Kira1fy Troupe, form
q very strong combination, and the enter
tainnent during the past week has been
unique and attractive. The attendance has
not been entirely owing to the excellence OF the
performance, for the place is handsome, and
many are still coming to see it,. As to the pam
tomime, not much can be said that cannot he
said Of al pantomimes. The tricks and trans
formations have been the stock in trade Of all
pantomimes for centuries. New advertisements
can only be introduced in the way Of apecialties
foreign to the main argument, such as singing,
dancing, and various feats ct sill. The dances
OF the kralfys are unique, rather than beautiful,
although they partake Of both qualities. The
ballet is accustomed to mutual action, ia hand-
somely dressed, and effective. The Scat
Duet" is not much in q vocal point Of
view, but it is absurd1y amusing. The
Tyrolean music, the playing upon rocks, and
various other -peculiarlties introduced, have,
most Of them, the merit of novelty, and contrib
ute to 3 satisfactory result. Mr. Hoo1ey- has
every reason to congratulate himself upon tha
success Of his inaugural week The bill will re-
main unchanged as regards Important p8rticu-
lars during the coming week.
EIXoNs A9IPH1THEATRE.
There has been q highly successful week of
pantomime at Nixon's Amphitheatre. Thia
could hardly hare been otherwise with Mafatt az
| the clown, Bartholomew as the pantaloon, and =
| company so well trained, and so long accustomed
| to acting together "Flick and Flock" which
proved to be speeohless play Of infinite diver
supplied BY "Jaok and Jill" q. piece no
| better, perhaps, but better known The
same performers will play the same inevitable
parts. New costumes, new scenes, and soma
unusual business is promised, among which va
may enumerate the st. Felix Troupe, Willis
his pupils, the Garnella Children, and acrobatia
and Juggling feats.
