CniHn o. NoRHAypY.-Last evening
there was . large attendance st the
Opera House 10 witness the rendition
Of this comic opera. The company was
. full one, and the performance WAS .
rare musical treat. Miss Lizsis AMMAN
dale ~ T" Gsrmaine, the Lost Marehion-
sss," being possessed Of . voice Of re.
markabls power and fexibility was
particularly good. A. y. McCollin
~ Henri the Marquis WAS slso
marked for his peculiar adaptation for
the character. The representation Of
"Gaspard, the Miser" by Mr.. George
W. Denhsm, was = piece Of acting
which, for merit, 10 seldom witnessed
upon our stage. The characters Of the
others were equally we'll taken, espsci-
ally that Of the BailiF by Mr.. James
Greensfsldsr, and Serpolstte the Good
For-nothing, by Miss Blanche Chapman.
The chimes we're rich and perfectly
tuned. In fact the whole performance
was most enjoyable.
In order that our people may have
the benefit Of . repetition the manage
msnt has decided to give matinee this
afternoon at two o'clock. Those who
enjoy delicious music should by all
means attend.
The SoRcERgR.-This evening this
charming opera by Gilbert and Sulli-
van will be produced by Mr.. Ford 5
opera troupe. The musical merit
evidenced by them In The Chimes Of
Normandy last evening should secure
for this play q complimentary tribute.
1t is every way worthy Of it. In con-
iirmation of this We quote the Lancas-
ter Express: "The opera is charming
one, and from first 10 last IL replete
with enchanting melodies and side.
splitting situations. The music is some
OF the finest We have ever listened to
and at once awlkens the interest Of It's
hearets." In continuing the same
paper says of the play:
at treats In main Of the machina-
tions of a sorcerer Geo. W. D-nham,)
who, by administering love-philter
with p. II. to the villagers, turns
Everybody topsy-turvey. Things fin
ally become SO bad tina. the sorcerer, in
order 10 break the spell is compelled
to die. He then descends into the in
iernal regions blazing with fire and
birthstone. In his haste to depart,
however, he forgets his hat and returns
for it, clad in linen duster, and car
rying fan, after which hs again de-
parts"
KERRY Gow.-On Monday evening
next, ths eminent comedian Jos. MuE-
ply will give one Of the finest compost
tious i'll Irish literature. The play was
written expressly for him. The piece
Is meritolious and has been played by
Mr.. Murphy over one thousand times
with SUCCESS. While characteristic and
drill its general tone is refined and II
is calculated to please an intelligent
Audience. In description Of the play We
find that there is q dry cynicism ex.
hibited in bis treatment of his enemies
and a few very effective touches Of
pathos, illustrative Of the national
character. serye to render the humor
more crisp and enjoyable.
