STAGE NOTES.

The vAR1ErlEs During the past week the new
play. to us, Of s'Clancarty,' occupied the boards
most Of the time. or the plot, setting and act
ing Of this historical drama, we have already
spoken at length. and we deem it useless at this
time to cav anything farther Of its merits.
The "Road to Ruin" as given on Friday night,
reflects the greatest credit upon both manage
ment and company. This rare old comedy was
really an enjoyable treat. We remember it years
ago at the old Varieties, when Owens distinguish
ed himself by his rendition OF Mr.. Siky-a
characterization that will always remain with the
recollections Of that well managed and well re-
membered old theatre.
The cast embraced all the principals Of the
Owens company. and in general, they acquit'ec
themselves in the many difficult roles with re,
Miss Don had most conjenai character in
Sophia, and gave evidence again OF the possession
of refined taste and talent. Miss Gilman, though
inclined in this as in many OF her efforts. to toe
much coarseness, made quite good impression
as Jenny Mr. Chippendale gave vivid and
natural impersonatloa Of the difficult character
of the merchant, while Messrs. Holmes, Thorne
and Wallace lent invaluable aid to the general
effect by their efforts
As the members of manager Owenss company
become better known, they are better appreci-
ated With each play produced new talents are
developed and the excellent dramatic qualities
Of many of the artists are more prominently
elected. Miss Laura Don, as yet, can scarcely
be said to have had a fair opportunity to display
her powers, but enough has been seen in the
limited ecope allowed her to give evidence that
she is not without talent. Her graceful hsure,
charming face and modest de meanOr give special
attraction to her appearance on the stage and
notwithstanding some unmerited and unjust
criticism has been made, yet for all that we think
Miss Don will compare favorably with most OF
hal 1iy,.y Lodi Shn ~ 0pnQ
of late years.
OF Mr.. Wallace we would speak in commenda-
ton. He has already developed rare genius.
and as a character actor has made decided nit.
Messrs. Hamilton, Thorne and Chippendale are
all actors who do well their part, and are deserv-
ing of praise for their satisfactory rendition OF
all the parts allotted to their care.
Next week new tragedlan-at least new 70
our pcblic-Mr. John Mccullough, will COM
mence an engagement as "Vlrginius, the Roman
Father" Mr. Mccullough has just concluded q
successful run at Booths Theatre, New York, and
comes to our city with the prestige OF having
been very successful in all his recent engage
ments.
The OpERA.-To-night those two popular op-
erss, "Le Chalet and Ia File du Regi-
sEvelina," will be presented by the entire ballet
corps of the cOmpany. more varied ana at
tractive bill could scarcely be offered to the
hdbaues of the Opera House.
"The Huguenots," will most undoubtedly gather
the elite Of our musical amateurs, and the lead.
ing parss being filled by the very best artists OF
the company, we may safely predict that it will
prove q success.
The ST. CHARLEs.-The Maitons have been
delighiing the patrons of Old DIury by their
unique pei formances. So far they have appeared
in but one piece, 'Ding Do s. which abounds IN
mirth- provoking incidents, and brings out the
full talent of the company. It's performance,
however, is made tedious by combining it into
one act. Not only do the spectators complain OF
this, but the peanut woman outside is highly IN
dignant because she Losses the sale Of a quart
or SO of gouber peas.
On Monday night (to-morrow). Mr.. Wybert
Reeve, who has achieved some fsme in his i'm
PRESERVATION Of Fosco, in The Woman in
White" will commence brief engagement. He
will be supported by Miss Adeline Stanhope, who
is represented to be an actress of talent, and a
lady Of great personal beauty
There are other parties, too, who find fault and
even imagine that there Is q conspiracy to break
up their business, which is highly profitable
when there are nu.uber Of entire dctes.
The ACADEMY OF MUs1c.-To- night closes the |
engagement of those really clever artists, Baker |
and Farron Their new play, the g Cut Glove"
has had successful run, and has produced |
favorable impression upon the many habitues OF |
the Academy, all Of whom have been greatly |
delighted by the excellent delineatiOn OF Irish |
and Dutch characters, by Baker and Farron. On
Monday night Sam Devere will open with his new
piece, entitled Just in Time," supported by
company which tie bills say is the best in the |
city. After we see them we can tell more about
that. However, Manager Bidwel is always up 10
his word, and we have no doubt his new star will
draw well.
The GLoBE.-This neat variety theatre still
continues popular, and is literally patronized by
the ladies and children. who seem to onjcy the
performance of little Baby B.ndly, the Bynes,
Miss Jackson and others, who comprise MIR.
Kittridge company. Next week we are promised
some new attractions, when most probably the
Globe will be crowded by an expectant audience.
