Wallack's as Lord Dundreary.
Newark, we are told, Is to be delighted with
new Irish drama next month. u Is by Mr.. Il. W.
Treat and Is only called "Suil Dhuv, and may not
prove entirely original
The eSunday concert business seems to grow, ana
this evening there are to be two-one at Wallackss
and one at the Grand Opera House. In the former
the principal members OF tine Italian opera csm-
pany, including Seh0rita Sanz, Miss Doria ana
Jamet, take part, and in the latter Mile. Aimee,
Miss Clara Perl and Mr.. william Macdonald.
Miss Kate Bateman, who is shortly to appear IN
this city, will pave the way for the coming OF her
sister Isabella, who plays the Queen in broken
English to Mr.. Irvings King, In "Charles H." The
English critics find fault with her broken EngisA,
on the ground that Henrietta Maria might be
supposed to have learned the language in q dozen
years. ea E a9
Madame Adelina Murio Cell, a prima donna, who
was formerly an attraction on the operatic stage.
has returned to New York and has become q pro-
fessor Of music. The same has fallen to the lot q
the tenor, Lotti, and the prima DONNA Mrs. Clara
BrnkerhOh. Thus the stage is giving up Its staSs
to prepare other uminaries for the arduous task al
shedding light on the musical darkness which at
present encompasses the irving place Opera
House.
Mr.. Louis Engel, the inventor ofthe Engel orgaa.
will exhibit his instruments ON every Wednesday
Of next month, and particularly two new stops
whichhe has added and which are likely to pro-
duce very charming effect. One Of these stops Is
o "vox Angelica" and an imitation OF that won
derful stop which only exists in the celebrated
Basel organ, and which sounds exactly like Q
chorus heard in distance; and the second stop is
the ophicleide stop, quite new and extremely
powerful addition to the reed instrument
Dramatic criticism In the West is remarkable for
its breadth. This Is what the Omaha Republican,
thinks about Shakspeare's ''Hamlet :''-"HamleN
name significant to all and attractive to all. )
because the universal SOUL from out whose
depths it came, possessed the grand power of
playing upon the meagre mind and the fuE,
with all gradatlons, and yet have the whole har-
mony. The newsboy, as well as the intellectual
giant owns Hamlet While one thrills at the
thought that man, like himself was the author a
the psychical problem, Hamlet, the other sees only
the outward and material, and is as well enter
tanned. He takes the ghost literally and gazes
with credulous eyes upon the dead body Of
Opheua."
A soiree given by Madame Bonawitz volkmann at
Irving Hall last week, in which chamber music
formed the principal feature, Is good suggestion
to concert managers to present some Of those in
comparable works for piano, violin and cello Ct
which Beethoven and Mendelssohn have left us 60
many specimens. Rubinstein and Wienawski pro-
pose to enter this field on their return to New
York, and Mr.. Grau has secured for them the best
local talent. Then Mills, the best of our American
panists has designed series Of solrees Of chamber
music at Steinway Hall, in which he Will be assisted
by Dr. Damrosch and Bergner. Bonawitz, the
pianist is also in the concert field with some in
strumental trios and an orchestral symphony Of
his own. Mrs. Charlotte Winterburn announces .
concert at the Academy OF Music for THURSDAY
evening, in which she win be assisted by Thomas
orchestra, Walter, the viplinist; Whitney, Boston
basso and Lockwood. London harpist. Thus It
will be seen that the concert promises be
very attractive If the quality is only equal to tho
quantity of entertainments announced.
