be opened this week on the South Side.
nooLEY's THEATRE.
uTha Two Orphans this week has shown no
signs of abhtipg it's interest Tor the public at
large. The receipts Of the week ara greatly In
excess OF those of the week preceding and almost
eouaI to the first week. But Tor the occurrence
of holiday performance on the opening night
the receipts for the first aud third weeks would
be- equal. This is something unprecedented In
Chicago, as indeed in any city but New York. On
the warm evenings of last week many people
were turned away because there were no seats
left for them The play aud the circumstances
under which it ia given are exceptionaL Every
thing coutributes to masking it a. popular as
il e. But even with these advantages
in favor Of this particular performance there is
infinite consolation 70 upright MANAGERS who
study the interests OF the public as we'll AZ their
own, and strive to make them identical, in the
discovery that long run ia possible under some
circumstances. The world OF amusement had
long ago abandoned the hope OF ever sustaining
upon the stage drama, no mattef no" good or
how we'll acted, Of "contemporaneous human
intere.t." Indeed the naked spectacle had fallen
into the sere and yellow leaf, and shared the
blight which withered it's legitimate kindred. II
Mr. Mcguire, Mr. McVicker, and Mr. Hall, who
