ANUSEMENTS.

THE VARIETIES THEATER.-The past week la
been very successful one at this Theater, no
to the operas presented by the troupe. THREE
new operas have been performed during tn
week, and in each of them the leading artists O
the troupe have succeeded admirably. "Le Canart
opening attraction of the week, and proved to b,
very entertaining opera. 1t was replaced b,
Madame LArchiduc on Wednesday night
This last opera has proved the most successful
one yet produced by this troupe.
The singing was much more pleasing, thu
dialogue and choruses n UGH more sprig htly, anG
the dressing and mounting of the opera were
both very elegant, and commanded the admira
ton Of the audience. In this opera Mile. Duparc
made real success by her sweet singing Of the
exquisite little solo, at the opening Of the last
act The drill in the same act was admirably ex-
ecuted and was really the finest thing of the kind
ever Witnessed in this city, the precision and
alertness with which the young ladies executed
the different maneuyres was not only credita BILE
to themselves, but to the gentleman under whose
direction they were. On Friday evening LA
time in this city.
The opera takes advantage Of the greatest
latitude afforded by opera bouffe, but has many
sprightly solos and duets which make it very
pleasing. At the matinee on Saturday 8" La
File de Madame Angot" was repeated. This
evening " Madame L'Archiduc will be repeated
We advise all who admire excellent music to
visit the Varieties this evening: On Monday
performed for the last time by this troupe.
ST.. CHARLES THEATER.-With the end of the
week Mr.. Oliver Doud Byron concludes his en-
his stay he has brought out his old dramas Of
"Across the Continent" "Ben Mccullough" and
"Donald Mckay" and in addition to these has
introduced new play entitled Thoroughbred"
Mrs. Kate Byron. OF all Of these plays we have
written at different times, and can now only re-
greet that Mr.. Byron was not treated to larger
share of the public patronage. He is an actor
of considerable merit, and has chosen to adopt
the sensational drama as his forte only in obedi-
ence to what seems to be the public preference.
His dramas are, therefore, all of the sensational
ORDER but at the same time frequently make de-
mands on the actor for the display of acting OF a
high order, and it is on these occasions that Mr..
Byron gave the best evidence Of his real ability.
The new play is full Of exciting incidents, but
they are not well strung together; there seems
to be a lack of harmony in the entire play which
jars occasionally but with this exception the
play is generally very acceptable
On Monday evening Mr.. Ben DeBar will make
his first appearance this sea on in his almost
inimitable performance Of Fslstaff. in the
"Merry Wives OF Windsor" Mr.. DeBar is too
well known in this city to require any introduce
tion from us, anu we can only extend to him |
hearty welcome after his summers travelling. |
He is universally recognized as one OF the best
interpreters now in the shape OF school OF COM

it's models. We trust Mr.. DeBar may be treated |
to such houses as he really deserves. He has |
much better company to support him than he |
has had or many years, and this change for the |
better should be encouraged.
THE GLOBE THEATER This Theater is given up |
to that lie of entertainment generally styled 'va-
riety business" and has secured some very excel
lent artists to carry out its nightly programme.
This week has been q notable one as having intro.
duced two new fractions, Madame Syrene's Fe-
male Mnstrels and new ballet troupe IN char
acter ballet advertisement entitled la Suissi
The &C. added to the regular troupe at the thea
tor, have made it very agreeable for the patrons
of the house. The most attractive performances,
however, that have been given at this theater
during the season have been those in which Mr.
Charles Howard has chiefly figured. 1t
In his peculiar line Mr.. Howard is a star"
his delineation of the old plantation negro is de-
serving Of the greatest applause, and he ranks
among the best actors in his line OF business
throughout the country. The management OF
this theater will hereafter be in the hands OF Mr.
James Flynne, who is known - the successful 1
proprietor Of the Gaiety Theater for several years
past. Mr.. Flynne has had ample opportunity to
Judge what style of entertainment is most attrec-
1--we to the people, and he is determined To make
