says: "The best thing in the way of an en-
tertanment that our people have witnessed
for long time. took place at the Opera
house last night. "Our 'Gpblins" is a
happy hit, being combination of musi-
cal, dramatic and comic features, produced
in excellent shape. From the time the
curtain raises in the first act until it went
down in the last the audience was kept
in a roar of laughter. The opera, both
English and Italian, was burlesqued in
handsome style, while some happy hits
were made on the solid play of Macbeth
and other tragedies The scenery, which
belongs to the company and is especially
adapted to the play, is very handsome,
representing the Rhine and old and dilapi-
dated ruins and castles on its banks. The
costumes worn by the party are very rich
and expensive"
