farce Forty Winks were presented last nlgl
at the Varieties to an audience which. thong
fair, was by no means as large as it shoul
have been.
The engagement of Mr.. John E. Ovens
rapidly drawing to a close, and no opportun
ty to see him should be lost.
His DR.. Ollapod last night was the sam
finished mpersonation that has so often de
lighted the pc pie of New Orleans. 1t ha
lost nothing, and there was nothing to gain
The Sir Robert Bramble of Mr.. Chippendal
was splendid piece of acting, and Was re
ceived by the audience with many evidence
of appreciation.
As Emily Warrington, Miss Phillis Glove
was excellent This lady is careful anC

justice to the part she assumes.

ACADEMY OF MusIc-" Marked for Life =
still continues to prove great sensation and
attracted another large house at the Acadt my
last night. Mr.. S. G. France is steadily winning
his way to popular favor as az actor of extra
ordinary versatility.
The skilltul imoersonation of Skid the
faithful black, awakens the lyeliest interest
IN his efforts 20 save his young master from
harm, and put an end to untold vllanies.
His success in these respects never fails to
bring down the house, and he is looked upon
as perfectly invincble.
Aside from some incorgruities, the piece is
really meritorious, and the best sensation we
have ever had here. Mr.. L. T. Knowles adds
not a little to the successful rendition Of the
play by his excellent ilnpersonation Of Skid's
young master.
Mr.. r. G. White as Josh Blake the villain,
is vely clever. Miss Nellie Boyd, although
the part is scarcely suited to hdr style is
and spirited as Dora. The play
will be repeated tonight.
ST. CHARLES THEATER- Contrary to what
might have been supposed, there was not the
audience present at the Old Drury last night
with the merit of the evenings |
performance. Mr. f. L. Davenport appeared |
as Macbeth and his rendition of the charact
was fully in keeping with lis reputation as an
eminent tragedlan.
The play is probably one of the most diff
cult to present. The interest not centering
oa Macbeth, the slightest defect in the sup
port rejecting iaydiously upon the princi-
pal figures in the tragedy The scenic ap-
oointments must be in perfect harmony with
he play, else nothing can redeem It's
performance In spite of
icing placed under serious disadvantages
'lr. Davenport showed his mastery ability
o deal with Shakesperan roles. His concep-
ion OF Macbeth is simply superb; his elocu-
ion Is its chietest charm, and thai alone is q
reat attraction. Whilst his rendition of the
haracter may not be equal to his impersona-
ion of Sir Giles Oyerroach, still it is mag
ificent.
Mrs. E. L. Davenport. as Lady Macbeth,
'as all that could be desired.
Tonight Mr.. Davenport will appear as Jacl,
ade, and We trust he will have a crowded
ouse
GhETY THEAFEE.-A spicy programme was
resented at this flvorite place Of amuse-
lent last night and was thoroughly appreei-
led by the large audience present. .
