Describing the stage rant and striving for
effect, so common among actors, she gives
us an Interpretation marked by its trutn1ui-
ness to nature and its subserviency to reason.
Mrs. Chanfrau is an artist in her profes ion,
and needs no better applause than that mig htly
rendered her by her auditors, to give express
sion to the high position she holds in the
publcs estimation.
Mr.. Mordaunt as Dorsey Shirley, although.
perhaps, at times q little too colloquial aud
quiet, was generally very successful. HIs
sctitsR at the close of the second act, while
ntemplating suicide, and his despair and
agony at the thought of leaving his wife and
child, were admirable pieces OF acting. we
admire him for his endeavors to discard false
effects, and to avoid strained situations ana
reading
The other characters were all very cleverly
rendered, and the scenery was even more
elegant than on the previous evening. Inc
center of the stage IN the first act was occu.
pied BY fountain from which gushed real
water, and the surrounding grass plats added
materially to the scene. Mr.. ID. Dressel'

for the success of their handiwork. -" Parte1

THE ST.. CHARLES THEATER.-The scouts
now performing at this theater were treated
to very excellent house last night. Their
play of s'Scouts of the Plains" is very enter
tanning as being correct representation OF
| the scenes it pictures and the acting OF the
leading parts is exceedingly natural and ef
fective. The farce preceding the play Is very
amusing aud affords good contrast to the
more exciting drama. There will be matt
nee at this theater tomorrow, when the same
bill will be produced. On next Saturday
evening Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack will take
joint benefit.
GLOBE THEATER The entertainment at
this theater last night was as usual first class
and highly enjoyable, and was witnessed by a
large audience.
From the opening night the Globe has adj
vanced in popular favor until row it occupies
place that ranks second to none. and its
popularity is still on the increase. This is all
the result of enterprise and good manage
ment. An interesting programme Will be pre-
sentedlto- night. Lovers of fun should make
note OF the fact.
The OPERA HOUSE Offsnbachs favorite
opera of La Perchole" was performed last
evening by the Opera Boufte Company to
fair audience. The singing throughout this
opera is exceedingly sweet and pretty, and is
generally admirably rendered by the company
The little song in the first act, as sung by
Mile. Geoffroy, was delightful effort, and
the closing duet of the opera by the same
lady and Mons. DeQuercy was an excellent
effort which won the most emphatic applause
| from the audience.
Tonight is the last but one of the visit of
the troupe, and yielding to a general request
they will repeat the beautiful opera of Giro
fe- Girofa." On Thursday there will be q
special Matinee when ola File de Madame
Angot" will be sung.
