The ST. CHAlIKs TKxAIER.--Miss Anderson
G osed her engagement q this theater last even.
| ing with her excellent Interpretation Of Evadne
in the play Of the same name. We have already
made mentiop OF the principal features OF her
rendition Of this difficult role and we saw little
occasion last evening 70 oiier any further crit;
during her engagement here, and we trust she
will continue to merit and receive the app ause Of
her audience wherever she goes.
| This evening the much-talked-of fpectacular
drama. entitled, 'sAround the World in Eighty
Days" will be produced under the direction Of
the Kiralfy Brothers. There is no need to re-
hearse anew the story Of Around the World, "
which enfolds, 1t will be remembered, the adven-
lures Of an eccentric Englishman, who makes
globe in eighty days and be successful in spite Of
myriad Of obstacles, natural and artificial. The
present version OF Jules Verne's delicious ro-
nance of the same title is the one produced in
Paris, and. consequently, the only authorized
dramatization in existence. The spectacle was
first produced in Paris, where it met with re-
markable' success, and held the boards OF one
theater over year.
Last summer the French version of the play,
together with all the scenery, costumes, and
mechanical effscts, was purchased by the
Klralfys and brought to this country. The
spectacle was produced at the Academy OF Music,
New York, and proved highly successful. After
an extended run to crowded hOuees in that city,
for the removal Of the scenery and costumes to
this city. The stage dress Of this wonderful
drama is exceedingly brilliant of rare excellence,
and Of passing dehcacy and taste in color. and
the costumes are said to be very gorgeous. The
play is .destined to attractiarge audiences here,
and we have reason to expect very enjoyable
enter tainment.
THE VARIETIES THEATER.-Mss May Howard
terminated her engagement last evening at this
theater, in the dual role Of Lady Isabel and
Madam Vine in 81 East Lynne" This lady came
to us a perfect stranger, almost entirely uu-
heralded, and announced by no flaming criticisms
from other papers. At first she was not
thoroughly appreciated !; but when she appeared
as Camille and in East Lynce," she became
siderable talent, and is altogether very pleasing
actress.
We trust she may visit us again at season
more suspicious than during Lent, and We are
sure she will receive more attention and be bet
ter appreciated. There is much to admire about
her acting, and her handsome physique is ad-
mirably suited to the different characters she
portrays. she, is an elegant dresser, and her
en- rance on the stage is invariably pleasing and
attractive. We shall welcome her return to our
city with much pleasure.
On Monday evening Miss Mary Anderson, who
has just concluded 80 successful q week at the
st. Charles Theater, will commence a series OF
seven performances at this theater, embracing
all Ct her favorite characters. She will first
appear as Julia, in the Hunchback. No actress
who has ever VISITED our city has attracted as
much attention as Miss Anderson. Her extreme
youth and inexperience and her wonderful native
genus mas created considerable surprise among
our theater-goers, and all have expressed them
selves as perfectly astonished with her acting.
She will change her programme each night, and
80 will present in rapid succession all of her
choicest selections.
