ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-The troupe of lively
pantomimists at this house We're treated to a
a fair audience last night, AID all went
emery as a marriage bell" Sheldon, the
juggler, was excellent in his tricks of leger-
demain, and the Jes Brothers were, of course,
very entertaining. The ladies rode their
bycicles with usual grace and O'Reardon
drew more sweet music from his water instru-
ments. The matinee to-day will doubtless be
crowded by the ladies and little folks and
there's lots of fun in store for them
ST. CHARLES THEATER.- Soldene troupe
were treated to very excellent audience last
night, and the last representation of Gene
We've De Brabant was as successful as the
former representations A word of praise is due
to the gendarmes, whose Duet is well sung and
always received with applause. The choris-
.ers tooare worthy Of notice for the excellent
manner IN which they perform the not small
task assigned TO them. The tOat ensemble OF
the troupe is perhaps of the best we have ever
seen, and in this, lies greatly the measure Of
its success. Miss Soldene herself is a fit
leader for a successful troupe, and we look
forward with much pleasure to her perform
ance in the "Grand Dachess," which is to
be played tonight
CONCERT AT GRUNEwALD HALL.-Quite a |
large audience assembled last night at Grune-
valid Hall, the occasion being concert and |
tableaux given in aid of st. Georges Church |
The singing was very excellent, and much |
superior to the average we hear at church |
concerts whilst the tabeaux were superb, |
and reflected great credit upon the taste of
those who conceived them and also upon
those who so we'll executed them
At the conclusion of the tableaux the hall |
was cleared and made ready for dancing, and |
merry time was had by those who partici-
pated in the sport. A very excellent supper
was prepared and vigorously discussed by
many present.
Altogether the entire affair was a most en-
joyable one, and doubtless proved remunera-
tive to the excellent object for which it Was
given
