AMUsEMENTs.
FELICIA.


Last evening A. r. Cazauran's drama OF
Felicia or Womans Love" was given
at Harper's theatre to a good sized audi
ence by the Rose Eytinge combination.
The play is taken from Nj. A. Delpits
novel of lie fills de Coralie" and is painful
and powerful to an exceptional degree.
AS drama it can be rated as success.
Rose Eytinge was the Fezteaa in appear
ance, manner and action. She locke d
moved and spoke, as the woman Of the
world, who in fit of remorse and for her
sons good name and happiness, suffered
alone unhonored and unthought of even
by her old friends. In the later scenes of
the play she displayed the ability as an
actress for which she has such merited
reputation. She was called before the cur
tain at the end of the third act The sup
port was fair, the Mons MornGy Of w. f.
Owen and the Mons Cassagnae of j. L.
Bowling being very clever, while the re-
naming characters were not worthy of
particular mention.
sTRATEGIsTs.
Next Monday evening, Haverley's COM
edy company in 1.-THE Strategists," will APP
pear in this city. In speaking of their
performance, Washington paper says:
The author of THE Strategists" had no
serious purpose in writing the four acts of
which the play consists. It was written
for fun. And since he has made it very
funny, he certainly may be credited with
success The humor of it lies not so much
in the dialogue (Which, however, is bright
and laughabls,) as in the absurdity Of the
situations brought about by the strate-
gists, who plot to obtain the consent of
the fathers of the hero and heroine to a
match between them. Mr.. Polk was the
principal strategist, and his unctious hu-
msr found plenty Of room for expression
in the comicality of the various dilemmas in
which he was placed, and in which he
placed others
