AMUSEMENT NOTES.

the opening of the season that gives
promise of remarkably acceptable sea-
son. The renovated Opera house will
be opened on the 22d inst. by the produc-
ton of the great New York success,
"Hazel Kirke,' by the original Madison
Square company. The play has had a
run in New York of over 500 perform
ances, the large audiences being main
tanned till the last.
On the 25th Lawrence Barrett will be-
| gin his season with the successive pro-
duction of "Richelieu,' fsJulius Caesar, -
"Yorick's Love" and "Rosedale," the
latter being given at the matinee The
st. Paul public needs no recommends
ton for Mr.. Barrett. He has long been
favorlte here. His personation of
Richelieu is Sone of the most powerful
ever depicted on the American stage.
full of fire and energy. His julius Caesar
is universally acknowledged to be the
best personation of the character seen
on the American stage. "Y Yorick's Love"
is Alr. Barrett's speciality, and it is Gre
alton worthy OF the grea'est actors.
ssRosedale'' was written for Mr. Lester
Wallack, but he surrendered his part to
Barrett, in the consciousness that it could
be faithfully portrayed by that artist.
''Birds of Feather" light and pleas
ant comedy of the modern school, will be
given by Hooley's Comedy company on
the 29th and 30th. From what has come
to the ears of the GLOBE, it appears that
the comedy is one of great merit, and the
company selected is certainly capable.
September will be inaugurated by the
return of Mitchell's Pleasure Party, who
will give three evening performances and
a matinee with "Our Gobllns'' as the at
traction. Those who laughed year ago
at the conversational absurdities and ap-
plauded the musical excellencies of the
extravaganza will not fail to ''take it in''
this time
Probably the greatest attraction of the
opening weeks of the season is the an
nouncement that John Mccullough, the
greatest of American tragedians, will
give full week of heroic presentations.
He will open on the evening of the 5th of
September, and will personate "Vir-
ginius, "The Gladiator, )" 'sKing Lear"
and other of the specialties that have won
him world wide reputation. That this
season will be the most successful he has
ever had in St. Paul does not admit of
doubt, for he has returned from Europe
with the approval of the best dramatic
critics of London as the best exponent of
tragedy Of the generation.
Agnes Hailock will be one of the attractions
of the Melville Opera company the coming
season.
W. B. Arnold, one OF the oldest 'old men"
in the country, will go with the Marie Pres
colt company next season.
Richard Wagner prefers his new opera,
''Parsifal," to any of his other works. Tt is
to be produced at Beyreuth neyt year.
George 3arreil, who replaces Edwin Price
as leading man in Fanny Daveuport's compa-
ny this season, comes from Australia.
Mary Anderson will not play in London till
the season of 1888. 1t is hard to tell whether
Mary or the London pubic is to be most con-
graduated.
Sarah Bernhardt has driven in an open coach
from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Many persons
have gone afoot the same route, and no one
has said anything about the exploit.
The members of the Lawrence Barrett COM
binatlon, which orens in this city on the 25th,
are beginning to arrive. The whole company
will be here before the close of the week.
James O'Neill will play tragedy in the sea-
son of 1sS2-S, and says he will make Hamlet
wear beard. He should remember the disas-
trous effort of Fechter, who portrayed the
melancholy Dane in a blonde wig.
Mrs. H. M. Page, of Madison, Wis, the
wife of a well known journalist Of that city,
has joined the Corinne Merrie Makers for
next season. She is charming vocalist, and
will meet with hearty reception.
The Union Square company will begin an
engagement of eight weeks at the Grand, Chi
cago, on the 22d inst. The company will
bring their own scenery and present their own
plays IN a style equal to their production in
New York.

her letters. Unless Cara's literary style diff

ladies the police were in hard luck.

as theatrical manager, died at Bellevue hos

they separated. Mr.. Furbish took one part of
the company on the road, and for season |

less remuRerative, and he died comparatively
poor.

The Coming Circus.
OF the Burr Robbins & Colvin circus, which
is due Ia st. Paul on the 25th. the Fort Wayne
Sentinel says:
The Burr Robbins & Colvin circus was
good show, and the bareback riding of the
English jockey, G. W. Fish, was certainly
the best ever witnessed in this city. He is an
easy, graceful and daring rider, and captured
the audience by his unassuming ways and
dashng manner. The ladder act of one of
the clowns, the trapeze performance, the
tumbling and the riding throughout were far
better than the ayerape shows The show was
