1.-THE GALLEY SLAVE AT THE GRAND.
The audience last night at the Grand
Opera-house was a. large. one and one that
was we'll pleased. The play rendered was
Barley Campbells "Ths Galley Slave"
produced in Cincinnati for the first time.
The scenes are laid in Italy and France,
and The plot of the piece contains mix
ture in due proportions of true love and
false, and honor and villainy. 1t is one of
tho hits of the season, showing pathos, wit
and humor. The scenic effect OF the differ
ont SETS which were painted specially for
the play, was incompatible. The play itself
- an excellent one, with hardly any faults
but triflng ones.
Miss Maud Granger, as Cecily Blaine, the
heroine and American heiress, was grand.
Ehe never appeared to greater advantage
than she did last night. Signora Majeroni,
% Francisco, played the part we'll, and de-
served the praise bestowed upon her. MIR.
7. B. Burns, who made his debut, showed
that he was we'll up to his part as Franklin
Fits. Mr.. Frank Evans, as Sidney Norcott

HEUcK's oPERA-HoUsE.
Heuck's was crowded last evening to its
utmost. capacity, and the audience was
probably the largest that ever assembled in
this building to witness Monday nights
performance. Hardly standing room could
be found and the seats we're mostly re-
served. The attraction was the "Danites. 7"
The piece was never produced to better
advantage than it was last evening.
= The scenery in the first, second and third
acts was nearly all new and very beautiful,
and the audience showed their apprecia.
tion of the scenes by applauding loudly. 1t
was indeed as fine as anything we ever
saw on stage, and something Mr. Hughes,
the scenic artist, deserves great praise for.
The "Danites' is play familiar to the av-
erage theater-goer, and requires no descrip-
ton.
Mr.. Mckee Rankin, as SANDY" acts
with the same vim as OF yore, and Mrs
Rankin Kitty Blanchard] sustained the

In most admirable manner Mr.. w. E.
hit We have seen the part acted as well
but never better than Mr.. Sheridan acted
1t last night. He was the recipient Of 9
beautiful basket of flowers upon his ap
pearance on the stage.
!, Mr.. Ben. Maginley as the "Judge," in tht
/. glorious climate of California, and Lin. Har
fis as Thomas Aiolphus Grosvenor," were
I good in their parts; and the character o.
\ the .Chinaman was we'll taken by Mr.. Frank
Y Budworth. He is equal to G. T. Parsloe
\ Miss Cora Tanner as ''the widow" Miss Isa
a bel Waldron as Captain Tommy" ant
! Miss Emma Marble as Bunker Hill," wer,
all very fine in their respective parts, par
tlcularly the last two named.
