purpose. Whether it will pay rcmains to be
eeen. The new company, which has bean ad-
vertised at some EXPENSE is ona Of the worst
that ever appeared in Chicago. aud the play
they have seen dt to produce is scarcely
deserving the name. Those who ara indebted
to the Academy tor many Ene opportunities in
the past will regret to it devoted to it's Pres
ent uses. Their hope will be that the reign OF
b!ood-and~thunder vail be oEly temporary, and
that tbs era OF prosperity which prevailed during
the engagements Of Toole, Sothasn, and Ray-
mond Will soon be revived. The people of Chi
cago ought mt to forget how much they owe to
the past management Of tho ACADEMY.
't1HE TWO ORPHANS"
arc the most tiresome beygars that ever afflicted
long-suGeriug public. The play is played out in
this city-for the present, at least. Raukips and
Halls companies have departed for the prev
inces, where they will doubtless have ABUNDANT
SUCCESS The proceedings in court, toward tho
last, became trivial and puerila. It Was sha wa
that Rankin had purchased the Oxonford version,
but that come OF hls actors continued to use ths
Hart Jackson version. The infringemants we're
not material, consisting OF the use Of such words
as "co," almost" "any, "why"; and such
"What do you mean?" Sheridan Shook d Co.
have destroyed the reputation Of hr. Hart
Jackson as An author, Ii lie ever had any. His
CLAIMS to - The Two Orphans" are preposter-
ous. He is probably as much an author as any
body who can read French and translate it tofer
ably, and no more. The Oxsnfo1d veraion IL
older than hie, aud probably better; and further
proceedings IN court against the owners OF it
will amount almost to persecution.

NATIVE TALENT.
Miss Eta Monroe, = young lady from Colora-
do. Of extraordinary talent as Ia elooutionist
has come to Chicago to reside. Both in hunor-
GUS and tSagio readings, Is well as in dialect"
she displays remarkable natural talent Joined
With equally remarkable dramatic ability. There

that IN opportunity may ba accorded her Of sp-

as she possesses deserves more than private ROC
ognitlon.
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND NOTES.
It is currently rumored that Hooley and Ma-
guire have guarreled, and are seeking to dissolve
their grand combination. The report is wel
authenticated. It is within the hounds Of prob
abillty-
Mr. G. A. McManus is rapidly bringing some
order out Of the confusion On the Museum stage
Ee will probably succeed in making En- enter
tainmon1 that will fulhll some Of the promises
held out in tho glarlng advertisements OF the
managers.
The loss Of the New Chicago company will in
no respect be more severely felt thaa in the de-
parture of Alr- Thomaa Mhlfhn, who seemed to
be one OF those Eara comedians that come only
at intervals to Chicago. He Is quite worthy to
take rank with Crane.
