Hancock club in the Twenty-fourth ward,
and he "does not believe that there is a

FR0LIQUEs AT THE THEATRE.-The eve OF
the great political battle, with its sober re-
Elections and many anxious cOniectures, did
not deter large number OF amusement-
lovers from the enjoyment OF a Jolly eve-
ming with Goodwn's FrOliques at the The
atre, in their musical, foolish, and funny
play. called Hobbies. 1t is one OF the in
eyitable variety comedies, without rhyme or
reason, that has taken the popular taste, and
which licenses the writers OF them to ln-
dulge their most eXtravagant fancles IN
burlesquing everytbng-all that IS good
and all that is bad. Anything and eyely-
thing Is i'm place, so il is burlesque. IL Is
at times very ridiculous, and, therefore. in
the hands Of good comedians, very funny.
But the day OF these eXtrayaganzas is des-
tined to be sh0rt.llyed, for as everything in
our country that is the rage must 90 with a
rush. they are beseging every stage, and
the tickle public will soon have surfelt OF
them.
The Professor Pygmalion Whiffles OF Mr..
w, G.. Goodwin, Jr., last evening, put the
entire audience in thoroughly good humor.
They laughed and laughed, and the boys
hallooed until they were all tired. Mr.
Goodwin has the drOllest humOr imagina-
bic, and he gives some wonderfully accu-
rate limitations OF The great actors OF the
day; those OF Lawrence Barrett, Robson,
and John r. Raymond were probably the
best. His little touch OF Colonel Sellers
certainly caused as much merriment and
gained as much applause as Mr.. Raymond
ever did here. The company Is small, but
all acceptable actors. Miss Alice Buryllle
and Miss Jean Delmar both sing quite well,
and the former is exceedingly pretty. Miss
Weathersby's Euphemia Bang was as old.
maidish as the most ardent admiIer OF an
cient maidens could have desired. Mr..
Bowser's Major Bang was quite good, and
the play, though it began TO slack of to-
wards the end, seemed to give great salts
faction, and created as much fun as we have
seen In the Theatre this season. II 1t were
not for the election We should bespeak
crowded house tonight.
