drew good house at the Academy last evening.
Tonight and until further notice. "rhe Phenixp
will be presented.
The German dramatic troupe, led by Mrs.
Me hua Scheiler, provided gala night to our
German population at the National Theatre with
the sprightly comedy OF "Berliner Kinder" The
house was full to over-crowding, and the audi
ence intensely enthusiastic. Mesdames Sche,1er
and Oarfano and Messrs. Holfelder, Handbook,
frequently applauded and called before the cur
tain on several occasions. The next performance
at this theatre, the success OF which we are
happy to note, will occur on Wednesday next.
THE MOST RECENT SENSATION
took place last evening ut the st. Charles Thea
tire, which was crowded from pit to dome. The
performances in legerdemain and mechanical
magic of Mr.. Maoallister, while they presented
no novelty, were clever his excellent address and
presence serving to bring out in relief thai which
might otherwise have appeared tame or superan-
nuated. We might reproach Mr.. Macallister for
some careessness, owing, we believe, to too
much confidence in his frequent position up
the stage instead OF boldly confronting the
audience as Hermann does, and whose tricks,
with the exception OF table tricks, are performed
in the midst Of the auditorium.
is frank, and does not resort to humbuggery in
his manifestations OF the black art. This quality
he evidenced in high degree in the chest trick
performed by him last evening, which In It's re-
suits is similar to similar trick performed with
the double trunk by Cazaneuve, but 10 more
clevery and rapidly done, and with less prepara-
ton. We commend the trick to our readers.
THE GREAT FEATURE
Of the evening was the distribution OF prizes at
the close Of the performa ace. In justice to Mr..
Macaiiister and Mr.. Weston. his manager, we
must say that all the prizes were worth at least
the price OF admission, and some OF them quite
valuable. ALI were useful, and comprised AZ
ticles for home consumption, ornament or fur
niture The handsome crockery set, the first prize,
was won By No. 65, but there being no claimant
in the house another drawing took place, when
Mr.. W. Doherty, Of No. $50 Melpomene street.
possessor OF No. 81, was the lucky spectator
II should be understood by those who may draw
the first prizes that they must remain In the au-
ditorium or 1eave their tickets with 9 repreaen-
satiyo until the drawing takes place, otherwise
they will lose their chance.
Tonight one hundred more gifts will be dis
trbuted among the spectators, the primo pal prize
being handsome parlor lounge. Grand matt
nee and distribution OF prizes Wednesday.
