Academy of Music,

The second performance Of The very clever
comedy Of Pink Dominos' NJ the Academy last
evening was u great Improvement on the frat,
which Itself WAS very fair. The company, under
the leadership Of Mr.. McDoDough. IL an excel
lent working company. They have proved TO be
10 by producing the intriesoies OF tho French
oomedie vaudeville most aoceptably to audiences
that have been educated nj the old school OF
comedy, which has no nationality, for we APP
prehend that there 10 no difference between The
English and the French school OF comedy, OK
cept one OF dress or costumes.
II strikes us. Ia connection with the many
structures that have been formulated against the
"brosdness" of modern French comedy, that they
are derived more from the absence Of knee buck
les and silk stockings than any thug else. Ia other
words, that what ID considered clever whom pre-.
sented with the fash Of velvet "pourpoints y
is exceedingly vulgar when offered for
appreciation ia tho modern pantaoons and
stoveppe. or course criticisms OF this
kind are nonsensioaI. and tho fact 10
being proven every day by the constant
production Of French plays which few years
ago would have shocked the seDsibilties OF the
English and American people, because OF the abb
sence Of the gitterng knee-buckles, etc. Pink
Domlnos" Is play Of u superior order, and
granting that IL affords great deal OF play TO the
imagination OF the spectator, 1t does not do 50
as harshly as many OF our old standard comedsy,
which nobody dreams even nowadays Of calling
vulgar.
We commend "Pink Domnos" an excellent
play containing q moral lesson, and which, ~
played by the company, gives us good rea son to
thank our stars ut the new ombination system
which has been 80 happily inauguratsd In THE
country recently and secures US good working
companies, to say The least Of them.
