LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


TIE METRoPoLITAN.-The large audience
which assembled in the Metropolitan
Theater last evening seemed to very thor
oughly enjoy the two hours and half of
" Nam zelle," farcical comedy in three
acts, which, besides containing a great
many ludicrous situations is cleverly con-
structed, and gives an opportunity for some
hne character acting. Aimee, who takes
the leading part, although not rs good in
voice as ten years ago, is as piquant, arch
and dashing as ever, and plays the part of
Nam zelle with a spirit and ingenuousness
that make her art quite perfect. Her sup
port is first-class. The audience laughed
and applaUded from the beginning to the
close of the performance. The gallery,
parquet and private-box act, which is moi
down on the bills, fairly takes the house
by storm J. o. Barrows, as Upper, the
snubbed husband and Newton Chiswell,
as Hiram Porter, the theatrical manager,
are two of the most original and perfectly
played characters. that have been seen on
the Metropolitan stage for a long time.
Aimee and her company may be regarded
as a success. Nam zelle" will be pre-
scented at the matinee this afternoon, and
the greet sensation, " DivorconS.' satire
on married life, this evening There will
be special performance tomorrow night
