'oRPHEUs AND EURYDIcE" AT TIE GRAND.
Despite the snow-storm and general in
clemency of the weather, large and enthu-
siastic audience greeted the second perform
ance of "Orpheus and Eurydics" at the
Grand Opera House last night, by the Bijou
Opera Bouffe Company, and it was again re-
ceived with the most fiattering msnifesta-
tons of pleasure. The libretto of the piece is
made in the free-and-easy style which
once characterized the Lydia Thompson lit
erature, and at once makes IT fayorite
with the spit row." The Hydrologic satire
of the original has given place to local allu-
slons and broad ourlesque. and the story is
made the vehicle for the exhibition of fine
physiological collection, draped and un-
draptd. As personal exhibition OF
every species of leg known to tbs
connoisseur, the opera bouffe, as il
now stands, or jumps, or halts, or
limps, will be accepted az a pleasing
who prefer muscle to music and limbs to
libretto. The stage may be said to have
been whelmed with female comeliness. The
constant ad ustment of lorgnettes went on
throughout the entire performance, and even
the puns with which the text is spiced fell
stubborn upon an audience which
gaze without listening. The bevy of
danes and dsmsels who help to illustrate in
their persons this extravaganza are all of
the most comely type, and sing sufficiently
to please ali classes. There will be q special
final performance tonight. The prices of
admission are only loo, 25c SOC, 75c and 81.
Next attraction, the Ford Ssguin Opera
Company.
