VARIETIES THEATER.-That most beautiful
idyl, 1.-the Man O'Airlie," was repeated at
the matinee yesterday afternoon to a crowded
house. Never during our recollection have
we seen the Varieties Theater so crowded at a
Wednesday matinee. In the evening the ro-
mantle drama Of 'The Dukes Motto - was
presented to brilliant house. Mr.. Bar
rett appeared as the Soldier of Fortune.
Mr.. Barrett, long since, won fame for his
personation Of Henri de Lagardere The
character is one of the most popular in his
repertoire, although not strictly belonging to
the classic line in which he excels. The
Carrickfurgis was well taken by Mr.. John A.
Lane, and we must accord praise to Messrs
Seymour, Meredith, Morton and Sutton.
| Miss Brooks was excellent as the Blanche
de Nevers, and Miss Craig decidedly interest
ing as the charming Zillah. The piece alto
gether worked smoother than on it's produc-
ton last week.
The announcement that Mr.. Barrett will
appear tonight as Hamlet will doubtless be
the cause OF much qualification to the lovers
OF this play. To those who can appreciate
scholarly piece of acting, the Hamlet of Mr..
Barrett commends itself as a finished per-
formance.
We would here announce that on tom or
row evening Bulwers great play of Richie
lieu > will be repeated by request, it being
the occasion of the farewell benefit of Mr.
Barrett and last night but one of his engage
ment in New Orleans.
ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-Last night the Acad-
envy was well filled with those who desired
to enjoy the sensational drama of "Under
the Gaslight' The performance was success
fully rendered, every character being fully up
to the necessities of their part. On Friday
that popular favorite, Nose Fiske, takes his
benefit, and the Vaidis children will appear. |
ST. CHARLES THEATER Tony Deniers
troupe was the attraction offered at this place
of amusement last night, and if frequent
applause and enthusiastic encores testify to
the appreciation of an audience, :. Humpty |
Dumpty was thorough success
There is plenty of pluck left in the world.
We read the other day of the death of an old
gentleman at Shreveport Louisiana His
name was Henry Washington; he was eighty
years old, and he was Of the blood of the
Country's Father. Long resident of the
District of Columbia, he went down to
Louisiana to engage in the business of survey
ing-the profession in early life Of his great
whose youthful exploits in the sur
veying of Virginian wild ands are brought to
mind by these incidents. As Mr. Washington
is stated to have been in comfortable circum-
stances we presume that his last work was
to satisfy an energy which he had
not outlivea.
Here again we have the story of merchant
N Boston, who in the great confagration OF
1872 lost 1850 coo, being insured for a COM
oarative trihe. He Immediately began to re-
build, as everybody knew he would who saw
aim perfectly calm and collected-he could
hardly have been COLON the Sunday morn
ng after the fire. This gentleman has lust
completed the last Of his buildings He has
lot sold o foot Of land, and be has not Dor
owed dollar. He has made simply what
he fire left him do the great work. Yes.
here IS plenty of pluck left in the world
