AMESE MENTS.
Academy A( NluAlc.

To-day at the Academy will be given the
usual matinee performance for the enter.
taipment of ladies and little ones. The
Schumann Combination will give ito last
comedy company called the Walfack
Combination, which will play tho modern
dramatic successes.
81. Charles Theatre.
The strength of Mr.. Greenwall's company
was tested last night in the performance Of
the tragedy of "Hamlet." A young gentle
man, billed as G. o. Morris, doubled for the
Ghost and Loeytss. He was not success in
either character. Shakespeare is most too
fine for his handling. and he might. with
profit, heed the advice given by the Prince
to the players. The ladies proved equal 60
the play and the occasion. Miss DOlIie Bid
graceful tenderness to the character, especi.
ally in the mad scenes, singing and speaking
her lines with good effect. Mr. f. I. Stetson
can not be blamed for desiring to appear
as Hamlet He has long been identi
with the purely sensational drama, although
he is really capable of better things. Every
amateur and every leading actor believes
himself able to play Hamlet, and no charAc,
ter has 5een SO much abused. Mr.. Stetson
treated it very we'll. He gave some original
readings, but he did not outrage the creator.
This noon will be repeated the MARBLE
Heart" and in the evening strong bill will
be given, including "Nick OF the Woods
and the French Spy"
Globe Tteatse.
The event OF the day will be chs first
matinee at the Globe. The entertainment
here is one we'll calculated for a matinee.
The house will be filled, as it should be, with
ladies and children. The artess, winsome
innocence of little Baby Bindley will please
the children, as she has taken the hearts of
old theatre goers by storm. The ladies will
find something to wonder at in the makeup
and acting Of Mr.. Ernest Byne, who looks
and acts the young lady of society to per
fection, from the rollicking Gay Spo,,ker Of
