GRAND OPERA-HoUSK.

Mr.. John Mccullough, the eminent
American tragedian, commenced week s
engagement at the Grand last night, the
play being "Othello," with Mr. Mccullough
himself as as the 'dusky Moor" His rem
derihg of the character was a mastery eff
fort that will long live in the memories of
Shakspearean scholars; who witnessed it.
The part of "Iago" was played by Mr.. Chas.
Barron, very accomplished actor, and the
remainder of the support, also we'll rem
dered, was by the Olympic Company. Mr.
McCullough's "Othello' is character that
impresses itself in the mind and memory of
every one that sees it, 1t is an earnestly
touching rendering of the role widely diff
ferent from all others that we have seen
and more nearly meeting common
sense idea of what Shakespeare intended to
portray. 1t is the rendering of a.scholar
who has studied the "Moor," and an actor
who is able to give form to his conclusions
Mr.. Barron's "Iago" was what might have
been expected Of an actor of such ability
and reputation. OF the regular company,
Miss Traeeys "Desdemonan was especially
fine, and all the other parts were well
played Same bill tonight, with Mr.. Nc

THE FRoLIQUEs AT PIXIES.
The brightest, prettiest and funniest en-
tertainment of its class that has been given
in this city since the Vokcs took the coun-
try by storm was that given by ELIZA
Weathersby's Froliques' at Pixies Opera
house last night. The company consists of
six members, each one star in the line of
business played. No one without going
can get any correct idea of how much gem
uinefun six people can make in a single
evening" Miss Eliza Weathersby is a great
favorite here She appeared to excellent
advantage last night. Mr.. NJ C. Goodwin,
Jr, is host in himself His professor
Pygnalion Whitfies" ("Piggy'' for short),

jor Bangs that was big feature in the

praise could not be said. Miss Jennie as.
"The Fairy made big hit in an apparent
