Charlotte Thompson.
AnUsEMENTA

The play Of June Eyre, from Charlotte
Bnoute's celebrated English novel Of that
name and in which Charlotte Thompson
made one of her earliest h its as a star act
ress, was presented TO a fair and very APP
preciative audience on last night at Leu
brie's theater II was the initial perform
ance Of the company here for this engage.
ment, and Charlotte THOMPSON acted with
all that grace and finish. which was TO be
expected Of lady Of SO varied and brill
liant accomplishment, and who has devoted
her life TO the careful study Of the
drama From her early career TO
the present time it has always been
said Of Miss Thompson that she has
never attempted the portrayal OF any
character without giving il careful and
thorough study, and to this as well as the
high order of her natural gifts, together
with her personal beauty, Is largely due
the success she has achieved as histri-
onio exponent The part Of Jane Eyre is
one well suited 10 the ladys talents, but
she shines equally well in the lighter
characters of genteel comedy, and~in-
deed many others. Charlotte Thompson is
well supported, and il may be said that her
company is decidedly the best as a whole
which has visited us this season. As
delinoator Of eccentric character, Mr.. j.
l.. WoOdenoh bore off the palm last
night, and the feathery way be carried
his ponderous form through Che gyrations
Of a sprightly dance won him an encore
and aroused considerable enthusiasm,
His graceful movements were the envy of
several fashionable devotees of the ger
man, and could not have been surpassed
by the most accomplished professor Of the
terpsichorean art. The leading actor, Mr.
GeorgeLearock gave an excellent interpre-
tation of the character Of Lord Rochester,
and the remainder Of the cast acted cley-
erly. Tonight the Charlotte Thompson
Company will render "Queena." new
play never performed here.

The Bazaar Gazette, edited by Mr..
John j. Barry, gets off the following
clever item regarding the Bazaar now in
progress at the Knights of Innisiail Hall:
"Hon. d. p. MADDEN drew prize at the
Bazaar. 1t was horn, what kind of q
horn it was is a mystery. Some say it
was tin, and that he was going TO join the
band ana furnish some delightful airs
durir the Bazaar week. We have our
doubts about this horn business. Father
Hadden is better judge Of horns than to
take any foolishness out Of tin horn
when there is so many other good horns
TO tackle during this cold SPELL Howev.
er, there may be some excuse for him, a
he got this from the beautiful Christina
tree in charge Of Miss Iorantha Semmes
who would be glad 10 have him come anC
try his hand again"
