The engagement OF Mile. Ravel at the
Academy of Music may be considered as ini-
tiat;ng the military drama on our stage. 1t
Is true that the French Spy" has been fire.
GuentIy played before, and some sensa-
tional pieces that might compare in outline
and "etdil with "Jartine," but they have
lacked the finish and artistic touches which
render Nile. Rayels pers0nation Of these
characters so excellent. Combining a
freshness and originality Of expression with
rare pantomlnlc power, the characters
are formed on the imagination as Iife-like
and glowing as the painters picture on the
canvas. The spoken lines Of play are the
nero auXiliarics of an artist. When the
face expresses the authors meaning-when
the emotions are revealed in act and ges
tuge-the mimic life assumes the semblance
of reality and the artist reaches the
highest point OF realistic art. These
capabilities Mile. Ravel combines in an
eminent degree. It is true ''Jartine" is not
an excellent drama in itself 1t has the
fault ct al sensational productions. II is
improbable iR plot defective in detail and
unreal: but it serves an admirable medium
tOc Nil. Bavel'a peculiar style of acting.
''Jartine' is, Notwithstanding its sensational
features, very interesting. 1t is admirably
put O2 the stage. The costumes are singu-
larry appropriate. Its Mexican character
isticts makes this a necessity. This fact
Manager BidWelI evidently duly appre-
cjates. and has spared no pains 10 make it
a success 1t will be repeated at the matt
nee 20 day. and again at night. Our play
going public should not neglect seeing it,
since they will ind it constituting q very
pleasant entertainment,

The S. Charles Theatre has been greatly
6eaut;ted and much improved during the
dramatic recess, and Old Drury, fully pre-
pareG tog the dramatic season, will open
tomorrow evening with Help for the
people OF New Orleans. Mr.. Joe Murphy
is the helping man Of the play, of whom the
Memphis ApDeGl of last Saturday says:
Murphy played before q worthy house
last niGht. in his Protean speciality, Help.
The inhabitants Of the Pays Bas. the native
black and the jolly son of the Emerald Isle,
are the various characters that he personi.
fies to perfection. He appears to be equally
az home in all. She play has the defect Of
being suited to q man instead Of the man
suitiDs himself 20 its hence many of the
passages at. wearisOme, and the scenes
are drawn out 20 such irrational length
is tOrceG &c, be amused with the peculiar
abilities o; the actor. This tests the
abilities Cf an actor zoe lnucho A one
man piece IS very tiitfcuIc TO bring out
satisfactorily. Murphy does wonders in
. Help and shows shat he has extraordi-
nary abiIities-abiIities 5hat ought not to
ba abused; by over work. 1t is an immense
undertaking for any one TO attempt to
carry 0n his shoulders the whole weight Of

has q right to feel proud of his achieve

enough. The opera house was well patron
