The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-12-05

Miss Rose Eytinge and Mr.. Cyril Searle
appeared at the Theatre Saturday afternoon
and night in "Drinks," and we must say
we were thoroughly disappointed with the
dramatiZation OF L'AssommOire as then
presented. u Is entirely too low and r.
pusive to teach a moral lesson, and The
story Is told In seven long. uninteresting,
and Tather vulgar acts, unrelieved by any
thing that is redeemng. Although we think
Camille so wanting in decency that one
must lose sight OF the slight moral that
serves as an excuse for the countenance
and support which society Is wont 10 give
il. still, as recently presented by the genius
OF Miss Cavendish and her good company,
it was comparatively breathing the atmos-
phere OF purity when compared with the
play OF "Drinks," as performed here Sat-
urdsy. which was little better than Bow
cry performance.
THE WIDOW BEDOTT..
Haverly's Comedy Company twill present
the laugbabIe Widow Bedott at the Theatre
on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
evenings Of this week. That Dir. G. B.
Bishop will appear as the Widow Is sufi-
cient guarantee for merTiment and fun. IL
has been some years since Richmond was
favored with the cOmicalties OF this come
dian. He never failed 10 delight large au-
dierces soon after the war, and we are sure
be will have a cordial reception now, for
our people never forget an old fayorite.
THE BOHEMIAN GLASS BLOWERS.
On Monday evening Mlssrs. Woodroffe,
Carling e. co. will give an exhibition at No.
303 east Broad near Third street. The
performance OF the glass blowers is said TO
/ 10 nj 4 ba
osties TO be seen is model Of the celebrated
Corlss engine shown at the Centennial,
composed Of five thousand pieces OF glass,
and running by steam, which alone is guar
anieed to repay the cost OF admission. They
also exhibit ieather-woIk, lace-work, wick
er-wOrk, and even ship spared and fully
rigged IN the most delicate tracery, all in
glass. They will remain here only for a
limited period.

Oh Monday evening Professor Willough-
by Reade will give reading OF his mos:
choice selections at Mozart Hall for the
benefit OF the Guard OF the Commonwealth.

lectures Of Mark Twain. Burdette, and
other humorisis. and POe's Raven will be

hearty enjoyment is promised, and all who

THE MENDEI.SsOHN QUINTETTE CLCB.
Our music lovers have a great treat in store
for them in the coming OF this celebrated
Quintetle Club. They are announced 10 ap-
pear at the Theatre in concert on Wednes-
dav evening, December 15ih, and we feel
sure their reception will be as cordial as
Il.
ton has been well and favorably known
throughout the country for years past, and
when they last visited Richmond they gave
two OF the most delightful concerts that
have ever been heard in The city.
Miss Marie Nelini, who Is reputed to be
a beautiful vocalist, will assist the quintette
artists: I>ldOr Schnltzler. violin: Ernst
Tbiele, violin; Thomas RYAN, clarinelte
and viola; William Schade, flute and viola ;
Frederick Giese, yioloncelo.
1t l. pleasure 10 be able TO recommend
an entertainment beforehand, when we feel
confident the expectations we arouse will
be 9ratified, and thus we speak OF the Men
delssOhn Quintette Club. OF Boston. The
entertainments are OF the highest order Of
musical refinement, aud never fail OF giving
| pleasure even 10 those wanting in know
ledge OF the divine art. Though it may
seem rather premature, we give the pro-
gramme which they will render here, in
| order that those who wish may refresh their
memories concerning any portion OF IL they
NAV think proper:
