THE SoLDENE's IN CH1oAGo.-s.Ia File d
Madame Angot," fattened and jambed int
an English fitting, was done at the Academ
last night. Its Oldest friends hardly knew ii
SO much had it been changed from the forn
given it by its author. True, the music wa
there, after afashion, and the orchestration il
part compensated for the weak manner il
which it was sung and acted. With the Ios
OF their leading tenor, who slipped from tn
company just before they came to Chicago
the troupe was much weakened; and now il
Soldene should catch cold or be incapacitated
from appearing, the future of the English
Opera Comique would be sad to contemplate

A new face is put on the Montague Massey
matter by this bit from the New York CORES
toek1 IL IA D. ILL.,.
prevails that Mr.. Montague and Miss Rose
Massey are again reconciled, and that the ex-
posure Of that tripe and onion infelicity-that
feast of garlic and that flow of fannel-is all
forgiven, all forgotten. The apartments of
Miss Massey, near the Lyceum Theater, are
once more the resort of him who stood on the |
verge of breach-0fp promise SO considerably
chops fallen. Even is It said that he whis- |
pers to his friends, BY Jove, old man, you |
ought to go over and see charming actress |
now playing Henriette with great success at |
Mrs. Conveys Theater- Massey, you
KNOW" Mont must have something to con-
sole him after his exploit in Rafael.
Mr.. George Rignold is to act in Macbeth
with Miss Clara Morris at Booths Theater,
md it has been decided that that tragedy shall
open the engagement instead Of Evadne. It
seems very likely that the latter piece will not
be gwen at all, as Mr.. Rignold is understood
o have refused to play Ludovico. The reason
or this determination is said to be dread
hat The public affections which cling to him
70 touchingly in Henry V, would be alienated
It beholding him as bold, bad man. Henry
will be revived however, next season o.
Booths, and for presentation in Philadelphia,
Boston, and elsewhere, under Jarrett and
oalmer's management, with Rignold as the
'oung monarch. That pet Of the petticoats
viii also appear as Marc Antony in q contem-
dated revival of Julius Caesar.
George Clarke has been asked to play at
dr. lockers benefit at Booths, and has m ade
novel, and what is likely to be an interest
ng, proposition. Mr.. Clarke simply desires
be same act Of any one play to be put up,
nd Mr.. Montague, Mr.. Rignold, and he to
ach act in it in succession. The apple of
pprobation could then be given to the most
uccessful Of these three gods, and there
GEMS to be little doubt but that the eagle
vould scream.
