Charles Campbell, n. S. Burnhsm, and Ellis

NEWS OF THE THEATRES.
GOOD BILLS AT ALL THE HOUSES FOR
THE COMING WEEK.
Last Weeks Kiralfy Spectacle at AL
baugh's-Anothe Week of Casino Opera
at that House-'Little Lord Fauntle-
roy's" First Visit.

The Kiralfy spectacle is on tn o decline-at
least the Bolossy end of it seems to be. In
these days, when scenic effects and brilliant
stage pictures are important constituents of
opera and drama alike, it will not do for the
Kiralfys merely to keep up with the times.
They are regarded to a greater or lesser extent
as the progenitors of the gorgeous in all that
pertains to the ballet and accompanments, and
it is necessary, therefore, that to be truly sue
cessful they shall reach beyond what is now
so general as to be almost commonplace to the
critical public. "The Water Queen" which
was presented at Albsugh's last week, was de-
cidedly disappointment. OF course, there is
nothing approaching an argument in any of
these productions, and their interest must de-
pend entirely upon the advertisements in form
of ballet and specialties. In this respect 1.-THE
Water Queen" suffers for want of originality
as well as efficiency. The ballet is composed
of younger and fresher material than usual, it
is true, but at the same time it shows most
glaring faults of training. In the marches and
dances the figures of one set are the figures of
the other, and the uncertain movements of one
act are scarcely more pleasing upon repetition
in the succeeding acts. Altogether, monotony
is the prevailing quality of the work of the
corps dc ballet, and had it not been for the ac-
complished art of the premier ddnSeuSe, Mile.
Paris, this part of the performance might be
pronounced a failure. Her work, together with
the acrobatic feats of SeRor and Sonora Pialras
and the interesting impersonations of Sablon,
constituted the principal attraction of the pro-
duction. The drdmatiS persona have but little
to do, and without exception, do that little
poorly.

traces of the evil that continued success oft
times brings to one so young. STILL it is said
that he does not His work, report says is not
marred by a single mannerism About his
childish ways there is nothing assumed, and
the courtllness which characterizes his every
movement seems as natural as life itself He
brings to the part realization of the work that
appertains to it, of which but few children are
capable. 1t is the second act of the play, how
ever, where the strongest situations occur-in
the dialogue between the Fart Of DOriRco1rt
and FduRlerOy. The winsomeness of the lad
is charming, and his earnest assurance to the
Edri that If he "may be his boy'' the earldom
is of no consequence brings tears to many eyes.
1t is of that touch of nature which makes the
whole world kin.
Passions Slave" at the Biiou.
The attraction at Harrs's Biiou Theatre this
week will be John A. Stevens's melodrama
"Passion's Slave" The play is one that has
for many seasons ranked among the most pop
ular productions of its kind, and it has during
the past winter enjoyed a remarkable degree OF
success. 1t is full of strong situations and
thrilling climaXes. The plot, while intricate, is
clear and the dialogue is crisp and well written.
The scene of the story is laid at Old Point Com
fort, and the settings are accurately arranged
from Photographic views taken on the spot.
Some very striking scenic effects are introduced,
among them being view of Fortress Monroe
illuminated, and a very vivid representation of
4 storm and wreck ut sea. The company is
spoken of in the most commendatory terms,
and there is every reason to expect large at
tendance at the Bijou this week. The usual
prices will be maintained and the usual matt
nees.
