houses Yesterday, the matinee being espe-
cially we'll attended His performances =.

in "Rosedale," is very smooth ana enJoys
| BILE effort. There are no great requirements
necessary to fair rendition OF the part, DuI
J Mr.. Barrett makes it exceptionally goou w
| his unusually excellent acting.
| At the evenings performance "homeo an1
| Juliet" was the attraction. Inc poe.io anu
sentimental character of this play needs TO %
very carefully handled by the actors anu
they must exercise very nice discrln1ina'ion
if they would faithfully interpret the ueiio"eo
beauty of the piece the least slip WIZ oauoe
the enjoyment of the audience and thelr syn-
nathy with the leading parts to change to
WEAKNESS and feeling almost OF disgust WILL
the love-sick couple.
| MIR. Barrett's acting of Romeo IS schoiariy
and elegant. He renders the part Win dell
cacy and refinement and evlnces eAceiions
taste and Judgment in both mis- reading ana
acting; in the balcony scene he IS very gooo'
and indeed the entire performance Is deseis-
ing of the warmest praise MIR. j.. W. Norton
and Miss Pierson rendered valuable assls'anoo
in the characters of Mercutio and Jullet.
Tonight Mr.. Barrett will appear as !ago IN
Shakespeare's tragedy of "Otnello, with MI.
Norton in the title role. We expect very
| ENJOYABLE ente rtainment, and are satlSneo tua1
Mr. Barrett-will make very fine lago.
| THE VARIETIES THEATER.-The excellent
dramatic company now performing a' lnls
theater will this evening produce very
strong and effective version OF the famous
1.-TWO Orphans" prepared by Mr.. Augustin
Dalv expressly for use at his own theater, IN
New York. Elaborate preparations IN the
way of scenery and costume effect have oeen
made. MIR. Harry Dressed, the able scenic ar
fist of the theater, has been busy for long
time preparing scenes especially tor THIS play.
Miss Sara Jewett and May Nunez will as
sumo the roles of Louise and Henrlette' anu
from what we have seen OF both ladies' we
are satisfied that they will present hnlshed
and elegant characteriz ATOMS The play ID
one of the most effective dramas ever per.
formed, and is we'll calculated to test the real
ability of any dramatic company, and unless
they are possessed of genuine t~lent they are
very apt to fall short of the requirement Oh
| the drama.
| We are convinced, however, that the ladies
and gentlemen composing this company Will
prove themselves fully equal to their duty
and will together work up very handsome
entertainments Their great success in the
Big Bonanza is q guarantee OF their merit
and passport to public favor.
As there will undoubtedly be crowded
house, we advise all who desire to witness the
performance to make an early application at
the box office.
THE ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-Durlng the en-
gagement of Miss Minnie Palmer in Mobile.
where she was supported by the stock COM
nanv of the Academy, a very excellent version
OF the 1.-TWO Orphans was produced with
great success. AS Louise, the blind girl, Miss
Palmer won the most unqualified praise. The
Mobile Register, speaking OF her performance,
says:
"Miss Minnie Palmer's Louise was fresh,
sympathetic and thoroughly pure; nor did 1t
lack certain subdued strength, which the
cruel friction of oppression might well ex-
press from such a nature. Loving and love-
able, with the helplessness of those sightless
eyes more pitiable for the gentle beauty OF
face and form and speech, the blind
orphan could not find more fitting
counterpart. To its higher Interpreting
the inner woman of the heart and soul-Miss
Minnie Palmer brings keen and refined in
} teligence, coupled with pathetic power
4" Little Silver " had not taught us to expect.
With no space for detailed criticism, we may
record for her a true conception very sweetly
| embodied; one, if not perfect, perhaps, pos
sessing at least the essentials Of perfection,
and needing only practice in the shading OF
outlines SO true and strong, while yet so ten
derby touched"
The same criticism speaks at length OF
each member of the company, and accords
to all a decided success. The play will he
performed this evening at the Academy under
the same auspices, with the addition of new
and appropriate scenery prepared expressly
: for this drama by the artist of the theater.
The troupe are all determined to do their
very best in the play, and altogether we may
expect most enjoyable performance. An
t early application at the box Office would be
5 advisable.
| The GLOBE THEATER.-The pleasant round
Of gayetysstill goes on at this theater, and large
! audiences are nightly present to participate
l in the amusement afforded. Messrs. Bray,
! Banks and Murphy, and the ladies of the
troupe, are all very clever, and do their best tc
please. Manager Flynne has indeed provided
t real fun for his patrons.
