Wttkfc Collins "Tio New siag,lalon," was
brought out at tho New Chicago Theatre last
evening. The play is we'll known. and 1,as been
rather harsl'y criticised by sonc Of the English
critics. Tho sannc objections must DC made IA
regards tho German version. The play is rather
Improbable. and Is calculated To pander to the
vulgar taste. Yet It must be admitted that tho
dorsnau version is better than the English. THO
action Is more raptd, and many Of tho. c.obIectlou-
able featnres are left out. Many went 10 tho
theatre last evening fearing that Mr. Wurstcr'*
company would not bc adequate 10 tho tnak Of
bringing out this play 10 satisfactory
manner, as 1t requires tragic acting Of more
than an ordinary nature. Jet It must 10 con-
fesScd tint those who Witnessed the perform.

CHICAGO, Dec. Il. LA thinking Of tic very
excellent concert given at Hershey Music Hall
last evening, an idea has presented itself to my
mind which wish to lay before vouF readers,
VIZ. j: that these entertainments might ba turn
cd to the advantage Of tho audience, ~ well a.
Of tho pupils Ut tho schools. For instance,
somo Of the persons who sat In the gallery last
evening might begin by refrainEng from loud
tulkfng. OF Whispering, to persons three or four
seats away, during tho rendering Of q plan1ssi-
ro passage by voice OF Instrument. HaviuR
learned to do this, they might undertake at the

ryiug them too much, ,-al,d 10, step by step.

u. musIc-scllool exhibitions at tho theatre OF
make Il appear that theY had alwaya been f.
nlltar With ths Eulcs Of good breeding.
