have assembled to witness any other star who has
visited us during the season for The same length
| Of time. The matinee yesterday was a perfect
| ovation; ladies willingly accepting seats in the
! third tier determined to witness characterize
ton Of which they had heard so much. 1t is safe
| to say that MIR. Raymond will draw well for an
| other week. Mr.. Harry Dressed, the talented
scenic artist of this theater has won additional
honors for himself during Mr.. Raymond's engage
ment-the realistic effect of his steamboat explo-
sion, and his beautiful landscape painting has
evoked the warmest pra Sc. The company have
all done well this pas week, and have made very
interesting portrayals OF parts really almost
worthless, for all of which they are entitled to
warm praise.

for the Wednesday matinee the character of
Picard will be filled by Mons Delorme, come

Pepper has introduced to the New Orls ans public
his new play of 1.-THE Alchemist's Daughter"
rhe principal object Of the play to afford Prof.
Pepper an opportunity to present his chemical
effects which are in the main very startling and
attractive. The plot OF the play does not really
amount to much, and the actors are given but
little scope to display their Abilities still the en-
tertainment is well calculated to please an aver
age audience, and generally reflects credit upon
Professor Peppers scientific skill.
