GRAND 0PERA-H0USE.

GRAND oPERA-HoUsE.
"Fatinitza," Suppe'snew opera, of which
so much has been said, was presented last
night, for the first time in Cincinnati, at
the Grand Opera-house, by the Grau Eng
lish Opera Company. The scene is in
Eastern Russia and Turkey and the charac-
opera is light, and of the popular kind,
and sparkles along with brightness that
gives assurance that "Fatinitza" will be-
come a warm favorite with the public. The
piece is very beautifully costumed, and is
elegantly put upon the stage. The chorus
is quite good one, and there is more than
the usual merit il the Company.
The favorite was Miss Alice Hosmer,
whose pretty face and pure soprano voice
won the audience at once. Miss Coreill,
not unknown to fame, is bright, vlvacious
little person, with q rather rich mezzo
soprano voice, and in personal appearance
movement and manner not unlike AHce
Oates. Mr.. Laurent is well known to the
public, and sings as well as ever. His
character is that of a war correspondent,
but he evidently knows much more OF the
stage than the duty or manner OF corre-
spondent. The "Pasha" of Mr.. White was
a fine piece of acting.
The audience was fine one, and would
doubtless have been much larger but for
the very threatening weather just at the
time for starting to the theater.
"Fatinitza' will continue till Friday,
when the Cadets will be put on.

BARNUM's GREAT SHOW.
In addition to the other attractions next
week we are to have "Barnum's Greatest
Show on Earth" The veteran Snowman
will arrive here himself next Saturday.
The press pronounce the present exhibit
ton the crowning effort of Mr.. Barnums
wonderful career. Speaking of its appear
ance in st. Louis, the Times-J Journal says:
'There was not an available seat on
the grand stand, and there was hardly
room for woman to open her fan in any
other section of the grand pavilion. A
glance over the wilderness OF faces revealed
the fact that the house" contained by a
large majority some of the best people of
st. Louis. The people having trusted inn
plicitly in the promises of Mr.. Barnum,
that veteran Snowman has not disappointed
them in single feature.
"The show is stripped of every superfu-
ous feature The jesting- which, by the
way, is verv small portion of the perform
, ance-rises above the coarse. The feats of
the arena have been brought down to the
very highest art of perfection. There ISM t
an unfinished piece of work in the ring.
Everything is glt-edged The ushers are
as polite as those at an opera. The order
maintained is something to admire. And
the menagerie part of the show is one of
of rare curiosities, and is worth the minut-
! est attention"
Robnson's Opera-house will open next
Saturday.
