THE MIKADo. "-Whatcvcr may be
the comparison between "Thc Mikaao'
presented at Albaugh's last evening
and "Thc Mikado" stamped by Gilbert
IL Sullivan as wholly and solely their own,
"Thc Mikadon Of last night contrasted very
fayolably with the preceding attractions Of
long season of comic opera, and not un-
favorably with some of the earlier pro-
auctions Of the great English mirth aud
music-makers. The scene of "Thc Mkadon
being in Japan, the new and artistic stage
settings presented bright pictures of the
land of the great Tycoon, and the cos
tuning and properties combined oriental
brlliancc and oddly. In this respect
scenery and costumes presented more strill-
ing auXilarics than the marine views, the
piratical retreats, the aesthetic groups, or
the fairy rendezvous familiar in Gilbert IL
Sullivan's other productions. The libretto
is bright and amusing. The music is pleas
ing and pretty. The opera was well cast
and well rendered. The principals, familiar
here in many roles, have seldom been seen
to better advantage.
Mcssrs. Gilbert and Sullivan delight in
introducing one exceedingly grotesque
character in their operas. 1t is somewhat
dangerous experiment, as many rcpug
nant and unartistic "Dick Deadeyes' have
proved! II is always a pleasure to see an
actor or actress make hit in part OF this
sort; and Miss Rosa Cooke has shown us, in
the "Mikado," that good singing and deli
cate handling-frec from eXaggeraton or
bufroonery-can accomplish it. The sue
cess she scored in the part of kdtisha was
genuine and deserved.
"TALIY-Ho. Robert l.. Downing's
friends were prescntain force last evening
at Ford's and gave him reception that
must have been gratifying alike to the actor
and the author of the piece. Mr.. DOwning's
conception of Hank Monk has already been
characterized at length by THE Critic. He
certainly gives breezy and refreshing pic
ture of frontier life, and rs he has Joaquin
Miller's advice at command IL must be
pretty close to life. There is a heartness
| in Downing's manner that is thoroughly in
accord with the role Of the stage driver.

him for the assumption of such parts.

the earnest protests and entrcatics of the

calling, Shechan went to the door and said:
