 WheeIock will play the part of 'Iago," with Miss Louise Muldener as 'Desdemona" The New York Times says of MT. Edgar: sIn viewing MT. Edgar's labors, we were struck by the perfectly consistent conception which he had evidently formed in his own mind of the nature of Othello. ** <* Mr. Ed gar, who has plainly studied his part with careful intelligence, imagines the Moor to be half civilized savage, outwardly cold, haugh. ty and taciturD-a man of rough ways and rough speech, who has won Desdemona, not by any special displays of affection, but by ardor of his imagination and the superiority of his physical manhood. The merits of his Othello are to be found chiefly in his readings, most of which are exceedingly good; stud jed earnestness and an utter absence of rant.s

 A fair-sized audience was in attendance at the Opera House last evening to witness the first presentation in this city of Lecocq's comic opera "Le Petit Duo" Alice Oates as- suming the title role. The opera is one that depends principally upon the numerous pretty airs for its success. Some of these airs are very pleasing, though not as brilliant as many AA OtAA0k WOIAS D1 bl0 Snkuo hutuOI.. 10o p10G is very simple, and the dramatic situations not very effective, though some of the scenes are quite comical and provoke general laughter. Mrs. Oates has grown somewhat stout since her last appearance here. which is no irn- provement. She still retains that dash and vivacity of manner which has gained her a world of popularity, and in her singing and dialogue she is as attractive as ever. The company is generally good, some of the lead ing parts being oapitally done.

This evening st Cir he-Girofa" will be given, in which Mrs Oates is at her best.
