AFFAIRS OF THE LOCAL STAGE.
The dramatic incidents that occurred during the
week just ended require fresh description and are
not suggestive Of fresh comment. The Vokes
Family appeared at the Union Square Theatre, and
has given a vigorous and humorous exhibition OF
the pranks of the kitchen and the manners OF the
servants hall. The talent and viyacity Of this com
pany long since recognized, and it is only need
full now TO say that their return TO the New-lork
stage has afforded general qualification. One of the
sisters is no longer with the company, but her place
has been satisfactorily supplied by demonstrative
and pleasing sOubrctte. The attendance at the
Union Square has been large, and all who attend
are heartily amused.
An attenuated farce entitled "All the Rage" has
been brought forward at Days Theatre, with Mr..
Hardcnbcrg in the most prominent of the characters.
The mirth of this work is of a texture, but it
is abundant and easily appreciabe, and, Ms the
lovers Of sour-krout are numerous, 1t IS likely to
afford pleasure. Mr. IIardcnbcrg's talents, which
enable him to give firm and highly colored express
sion TO many sorts of cccentricity are adyanta-
geously excrted in the exposition Of this play.
Miss Lolita has finished her engagement at the
Park Theatre. her last week having been given to
." La Cigalc." and she will act tomorrow at llay-

presented their familiar speciality of lotto" in
Hayerlys Fourteenth Street Theatre These are
performers Of slender ability, but they afford

them a certain measure Of popularity. The persons
who think that Mr. J. X. Emmett. for example is m
actor are not unlikely to fall into a similar deuson
