MISS NELSON AT pIKE,s.

MISS NEiLSON Al rlhE ss
The great English actress, Miss Adelaide
Nelson, appeared at Pixies Opera-house
last night in her wonderful character of
Juliet" in Shakspeare's beautiful love
poem of Romeo and Juliet" No criticism
Of Miss Nelson's Juliet" is now in order.
Hers has become the standard, and the
excellence of all other renderings is meas
ured by their approach to the char
acter with which she has made
the amusement world familiar Suf-
fee it to say that Miss Nelson never ap-
peared to better advantage than she does
this time. She is as beautiful as ever, her
stage presence is just as commanding, her
voice as sweet, as when she first took the
American public by storm. She is support
ed by good company, and the piece is put
upon the stage in the same excellent man
ner that has characterized the present man
agement at Pixies. The audience was very
fine one, both as to character and size. To-
night "As You Like It."
THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.
The second Theodore Thomas Symphony
Concert was given at Music Hall last night
to very fine audience, numbering be-
tween 5000 and 1000 persons The audi
ence was also most attentive and appre-
ciative one, paying high tribute to Mr..
Thomas and his excellent organizations.
The first work offered was Cherubinis
Requiem Mass by the College Choir.
Although there had been more than the
usual number of absentees at rehearsal, this
was not noticed IN the excellent render
ing of the work. The choir sung with
great accuracy and evenness, and we feel
sure that even Mr.. Thomas was quite we'll
pleased with the result. Certainly every
one else was more than pleased.
The other works offered were Goldmark's s
Overture Penthesilea," which received its
first production last night by the Thomas
Orchestral Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
and an aria from Weber's "Euryanthe' by
the celebrated basso, Mr.. ]. F. Rudolphsen.
The soloist is teacher in the College OF
Music, and he last night made his first ap-
pearance to Cincinnati audience. His
warm reception must have pleased him, as
he certainly succeeded in pleasing his lis.
tenera He has a good base voice, sings
with energy and vim, and appears to be a
good natnred and obliging artist. His rem.
dering of Mendelssohn's "Im a Roamer"
was delightfully."- done, and confirmed the
good impressions he made in his regular
number.
The National Theater seems to be winning
success this time.
The Vine-street Opera-house is offering
its usually spicy bill.
At the Belle Union forbidden Fruit
and living pictures are the leading attrac
tions.

1t is proper to say that Carlotta Patti
and her managers deny the whole story
about her imbiblng too freely. 1t was first
published in Leavenworth paper and
afterwards in the st. Louis ost-Dispatcl
from which paper it found its way into the
regular press dispatches.
