very pretty, the dialogue funny and the
music bright and sparkling; repetitions
were frequent aud the audience was well
pleased. The costuming and setting were
very tasteful and appropriate. The "Black
Hussar' promises to meet with even greater
success than the "Mikado."

which Mr.. Allen possesses in an unusual
degree, of throwing aside his own person.
