THE THEATRES.


6r. CHARLES THEATRE. The plays last
nirht &C the st. Charles Theatre were
ssEsmefHlda, or the Hunchback Of Notre
Dame and Pocahontas: In the
former Mile Zoe appeared In the title
foIe. and did great credit to herself and
The piece. She has singularly melo-
di6tie and sweet voice which IL touch
inRly pathetic and sweet, and her grace
ch6fnis all who witness her playing.
Especially In love making to the nero
- she enchanting, and commanas The
ysrmest sympesthy rom aer re spscdoi as
oriiy 0id Ben can give it. Although last
avenfnr was d bitter cold one, a fair
number turned out to hear him.
TaE ACADEMY or Music. The revi.
val 81 that Immensely successful and
heautiful play of 1.-THE Two Orphans, /"
has Afforded q great deal OF qualification
20 its large host Of admirers. AT. yes
t0rday's matinee there WAS a very large
audience TO witness It's performance,
and creditable large one put IN an
appearance In the evening; M II UNI.
ley has improved so much IN his acting
~ to succeed In gaining the ap.
sdfnifers. and will, when he overcomes
Its monOtOny OF voice, take rank among
era leading actors Of his peculiar line
81 business. In the Scissors Grinder,
IA the "Two Orphans, last evening, he
Was better than we have hitherto seen
him. and we trust no will continue to
Improve. The remainder OF tho cast Is
excellent, and the scenery and It's va
rlous cflects very fine, although the
snoy storm scene ca bs ~. Improved ;ns
Of Miss Ada Boshnell who played the
character Of Louise. She IL q lady OF
considerable degree OF talent, and al-
ways pleasant when she appears on the
stage, but she Is never 80 successful In
her ncting or winning applause rs when
nho PLAYS Louise. Her countenance
throughout the entire performance con-
fnincd an expression Of the character
ITSELF. which, we doubt, can be better
assumed by any other actress who has
or may IN the future attempt the rendi-
ton OF this role.
To-nirht will afford the last oppor-
tuniEy 70 Witness this play ut the Acade-
my this season, on account OF which
there will be u fine audience, we expect,
this evening. On Friday night, which
vii BE- the occasion OF the benefit OF
M. Geo, Il. Locke, the temperance
drama, "ren Nights In u Bar-room," Is
20 be rendered. ,T&@ G3
The Little Midgets and the ~. Felix
Ballet Troupe, both great favorites
among the Academy's patrons, Will
hnish their engagement this week, and
.all who would see them before their de-
parture. should attend the Academy's
Performances this week.
TEE VARIETIES: Notwithstanding the
extreme cold which prevailed on We'd
ne0day evening, there was fair attend
auoo at the Varieties Theatre, where
The attraction was Dickens David
Oopperflold," which, was produced un-
der the title OF "Little Emily" Mr..
George Fawcett Rowe came to the front
nGSin III the character OF Wilkins Nj
o6eC0er, which Is decidedly his best role,
and was also q most decided improve
mont on his acting In Rel de Borg, In
tho "0eneva Cross"
Mr.. Mordaunt also makes much bet
~. Rg0O0tfv than he does n Moiceau
a the latter play; and on the whole the
acting OF all the characters, with the
exception OF Miss Monk. is better than
a. little Emily" Miss Monk plays
Gabrielle much better than she does
Rosa Ddrth, but in the latter she Is far
from being either tame or uninterest-
Tonight tho Ticket-of- Leave Man ;"
Will be presented at the Varieties. si
TIE GLOBE THEATRE.--At the Globe
Theatre, unlike most institutions OF
fhnt kind. there Is always more pro-
duCed on the stage than Is down on the
bills, and none who ever go there leave
disappointed with the performance, and
tho number who do 90 is constantly a
very large one, as the managers never
spare any efforts to make the enter
t6lnments given there attractive, and IL
tho performers are not always stars
they are always favorites.
The pieces produced always take
we'll and have good run and rarely
lever grow tiresome as they are very
place TOR fun and plenty OF it.
