HAvERLY's MINsTRELs.


Minstrels, the great minstrel troupe OF the
day, commenced weeks engagement at
the Grand Opera-house. As the curtains
arose one after another, disclosing row after
row of ebony artists, the remark was passed
around the house, "Others can't do it like
Hayerly." The first part consisted of an
excellent opening session made up by beau
tful ballads and a bright dialogue. The
lokes were nearly all new, and almost every
one was hit.
We have seldom seen an audience more
thoroughly entertained than this one was.
"The Broadway Squad" closed the first
division of the programme. Then came
Adams and Lee, in their musical perform
ances, which is truly wonderful lit lie en-
tertainment. The champion transformation
clog was also very beautiful piece of
work. But through all this, entertaining
as it was not few were holding their
breath and waiting for Billy Rice's speech.
| When it came it was just as immense as
ever, There is no damming up that flow OF
oratory, The twelve banjoists, headed by
Sam Devere, were also thoroughly enjoy
able. He is an entertaing talker, as well as
a good artist
The picnic came next, full OF fun, and
this was followed by Mr.. Harry Kennedy,
the ventriloquist. He is no stranger here,
but is always warmly welcomed. The
closing piece was Haverley's Mastodon
schooner "Pinafore" burlesque on III.
NJ. S." and huge one, too, full Of fun, yet
true to the text. Altogether, we have no
hesitation in saying that Mr.. Haverly this
season invites the public to the very best
minstrel performance that has ever been
presented.
| LAWRENCE BARRETT AT Pixies.
The eminent actor, Mr.. Lawrence Bar
rett, supported by the finest company he
has ever brought to this city. commenced
an engagement at Pixies Opera-house las
night. The opening piece was 'Yorick''
Love" Mr.. Howell new play. 1t has beel
heretofore presented in this city, and
though a pleasant piece, cleverly adapted
and giving scope for fine acting, doesn
seem to strike popular chord here. since
the piece was given in this city year agt
Mr.. Barrett has greatly improved upon hi
!. conception and presentation of the leadinI
role and what was then fine performance
now rises to a still higher range of excel
: lence.
Mr.. Barrett is clearly in love with tn
: play. and acts as does an artist when h
feels that the role justifies and demands hi
best efforts He has, too, the advantage o
very able support, and the piece is pu
upon the stage in most excellent shape
, "Yorick's Love" will be presented to
; night, also Wednesday and Thursda

: double bill, consisting of David Garrick
and "Ruy Bias" Saturday matinee, "Mal
3 BILE Heart" Saturday night, "Richelieu."

tions in this city year or two ago create
such a sensation, and laid the foundatio
IS for such host OF imitators, has returned

g tainments at Music Hall. When previousl

Z, room.

l. Shakspeare's Comedy of Errors W
presented at Heuck's last night by the Ws

O. Kiss in the Dark" very amusing piece
Of five characters The Comedy of Errors,
d the Two Dromios," was put on with go'

Is throughout is probably the strongest tn

n "Antipholus of Ephesus," were very goo
