F0oTLIGHT NOTES.
Nat GOodwin's "Froliques' are to
open at Louisville Tomorrow.
Salvini, the great tragedian, speaks
Italian when playing his parts, while
disappearing eompanyspeak English.
In Hearts of Oak" at Louisville
last Thursday, Katharine Corcoran
played Crystal in place Of Genevieve
Rogers.
The Humpty Dumpty troupe, with
a band wagon in front, and a small
donkey in the rear, paraded the streets
this forenoon, and attracted attention.
The French opera troupe, for the
past two months at New Orleans, are
shortly to appear in New York, with
Nine. ANDRE as the star. The pat
ronage at New Orleans has not, it is
said, been overly profitable so far.
Charlotte Thompson, the actress
has been playing at indianapolis and
is now at Nashville to play there to-
night, and will perform as Edith
Gray, the Planters Wife, Miss Mutton
and Jane Eyre at Knoxville ere the
present week closes. Her advance
is Mr.. James H. Hutton, of this city.
A food of literature extolling Marie
Roze, the bright lyric star of the
Strakosch- Hess troupe, has been COM
ing to this Office from day to dry, for
the past two months. The great song
stress sung eight times or more at
Chicago, six or more at Cincinnati,
and appears to be the lustrous leader
of the opera company to appear here
next Thursday. She will not
play but a single part, that Of Carmen
for us, and as little reference is made
to the remaining members of the com
pany, the laudatory articles so far re-
ceiyed are of little value.
Sara Bernhardt was invited to a
minstrel matinee at Philadelphia last
Friday to witness a burlesque called
Sara!Heartburn." She seemed much
amused until a boy appeared on the
called the black Sara nanny"
asked to accompany her to Amer
lea. This made the genuine Sara
mad. She denounced It a heartless
and lett the theater. A suit is
threatened.
