ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-The second night Of Mr.
Sam Devers at the Academy Of Music, in the
drama entitled "Just in Time," was marked by
the presence OF fair and sppYeciative audience
and, without doubt. the piece will be carried
through the week with perfect success. Mr..
Devere came t. the New Orleans stage heralded
by most natterlng notices given by the press OF
other cities. and assuredly We find him in the
special,iss to which he is devoted, highly de-
serving the praises bestowed. To-day, Ut noon,
will be given matinee, intended specially for
ladies and children, and we would respectfully
suggest that those for whom this is intended
should not let the opportunity pass Of Witnessing
this entertainment.
ST. CHARLES THEATRE.-Last night "Fosco
or the Woman in White," again held the boards
at this theatre. Mr.. Wybert Reeve, as Fosco
displayed that artistic excellence which has made
an appreciative audience. Althougn there was
fair number present, we think that this really
clever actor, supported, as he is by q meritori-
GUS company, should insure crowded houses at
the Old Drury. The play will be repeated to-
night.
HE OPERA.-The excitement created by Nile
Anna Vercken's magnificent rendition Of the role
of Valentine, in the "Huguenots,' and the gen.
eral excellence with which the other leading
parts are Sustained by Messrs. Feltlinger and
Che H. will doubtless secure an immense house
the next time that opera is played.
There was good house last night to hear
" La Favorite" and "Les Noces de Jeanette"
in which Mesdames Teoni and de Jolly, and
Messrs: Gadllhe. Feitlinger, Meric and Dardignac
ture has also become quite popular. and, under
the skilltul leadership Of tlr Mamert, their
''maitre de ballet, Miles. Stickel, BRAGG and Au-
grlsta-the first named lady particularly -never
TAIL to reap a bountiful harvest of braui. They
certainly add much to the effect and complete
ness Of every performance in which they take
part.
