The HRlack Crook,

The machinists and painters at the Acad-
envy are busy with preparations for the
advent of Bidwell & MacDonough's great
1tBlack Crook combination, which will
commence holiday season here on the
twenty instant, following Katie Put
MANS company. This gorgeous spectacle
has been entirely reconstructed and, with
its new scenery, costumes, effects and bal
let, never fails to attract large audiences.
From Charleston paper we clip the fol-
lowing notice, which contains the names of
several New Orleans favorites:
1t is no figure of speech to say that the
second representation of the BLACK Crook"
attracted an audience last night which lit
orally packed the Academy of Music from
parquette to dome. The immense and fash
Ionable audience was really sight to see,
and it must have been most gratifying to
Messrs. Bidwell & MacDonough to note
how appreciative all were of the gorgeous
spectacle and Its many and varied attrac-
lions.
In our issue of yesterday we gave a de-
scriptioD of the performance in detail, and
now we have bat to note the features which
were most warmly received last night
Let the post of honor be given to the
Baby. To little Baby Benson, the pretty
Baby, the smart Baby, the graceful, must
cal and charming little creature, who is
about the size of a sugar plum bag; sings
like canary bird, and dances in such a
style as ne'er a baby ever danced in before
Hernandez last night, especially in the
"Peace Jubilee" was funny enough to make
graveyard full of corpses get up and
laugh long and loud. Joseph Grimaldi's
mantle has fallen on the shoulders of A. NJ
Hernandez. and becomes him we'll
I.upO is the quintessence of grace and
her dancing last night was most exquisite,
while Miss Jennie Benson in the hornpipe
oyas tantalizingy charming, and was greet
cd with rapturous applause.
Miss Dutiield and Miss Seidler sang bet
ter than ever, and sustained their roles
as did also Misses Mortimer,
Richards, and last, though not least, Miss
Archie Walters, who makes a fine AD,ina.
which, however, we think could be rendered
more effective in certain sense by substi-
tuting a handsome dress in place of the
domino she wears.
All the other fine features of the perform |
ance were presented as on the opening
night, Freeman's picolO solo, and Deyer- |
chere's song being received with repeated |
encores In short the spectacle is gorgeous
and the entire entertainment thorough
and unqualified success.
There will be but two more representa-
lions of the Black Crook in Charleston this
season. grand matiI ee at two O'Clock and
a lnal grand performance tonight when we
expect to see the Academy of Music so
that there will not be standing |
room except on the stage for pretty little
Baby Benson herself
