The engagement of the DAILY Comedy
Company closed last evening at the Varieties
Theatre. While here, playing two weeks,
the company has produced the "Big Bo-
nanzs," the 1.-TWO Orphans" mons
Alphonse" and divorce" Coming here
heralded as from the Fifth Avenue Theatre,
where comedies are perfectly rendered by
competent artists, wearing suberb costumes,
the appearance of the company has in some
respects been disappointment. The troupe
may be, as the saying is in New York,
good enough for New Orleans but we
have had many much better stock COM
panies here, and there is no reason why we
should go into ecstacies over combination
because Mr.. DAILY lends it mama. The
success of the engagement has been the
Big Bonanza" Too much praise oan not
be given the troupe for the admirable
manner in which that lively comedy was
performed. The piece fitted t tors, and
we should say the combination Big
Bonanza" company, selected to pay that
piece. In Mr.. Owen Fawcett We recognize
genuine comedian and through him the
eccentrlcities of Professor Cawojaler came
out strong. Mr.. James Harde ia free
from mannerisms and stage tricks,
and has the talent to become
most desirable leading man. OF the
ladies, Miss Sara Jewett is bud of great
promise. She is beautiful in face and form.
and neat in action; taking the part OF
EHgenie in the big Bonanza" as sample
OF what she can do in a line known as i3c.
genu characters, it is safe to say shs is with
out rival, even in New York Size sholld
stick to that line of business
The event of the coming week at the
Varieties will be the appearance on Monday
night of Mrs. Henrietta Chanfrau, the
manage1ess of the theatre, and her new
dramatic company. The friends of this
lady will give her hearty welcome, here
where she has made so many trumphs, and
where she is so highly esteemed as al
actress and true woman. With the ex
ceptions of George Morton and Miss Ada
Monk, the members o. the company are
strangers to this public though some o!
them come with good repute. The opening
I
attraction will be parted @ drama from
the pen of Mr.. c. w. Tayleure, colessee and
manager of the theatre.
