STRAUSS,

STRAUSS.
We have orchestras In this country that
rank with the best In Europe, yet it has been
made evident that here, as there, the In
perial Vienna organization has distinct
place OF its own, in which it ranks superior
TO them all. just as In Berlin, Paris, Lon
den and elsewhere. the Strauss concerts
draw the elite Of social and musical circles,
and are immensely patronized by all classes
just as they have been in the United States
Aud just as the musical critics in Berlin
have repeatedly spoken of the "energy and
grace with which the still young and elastic
Vienna Hof-Kapelmeiste interprets his fan
tastic melodies, and with what exactness thu
orchestra follows his every notion" and
how the Berlin public look back upon these
concerts with delightful memories" 50 do
our citizens, without exception. speak of
him, his music and conducting. Our own
Gilmore Is peerless in his way, but it would
seem as II Strauss had struck as deep chord
of popular feeling as he, while still retaining
the approval ofthe educated musician. or

STREETS OF NEW YORK.
The Streets of New York" is piece
which possesses all the elements of a sue
cessfpl melodrama. There is the usual plot
ting by an INSCRIPTIONS man, VINO prospers
for time, but is at last overcome by tri-
umphant virtue-the wicked being punished
and the good rewarded, such elimination,
In fact, which imparts feeling of satisfac-
tion to those who follow the developing of
the plot. There are many comedy features
which give to the presentation bright side
that nicely balances the serious and more
tragic passages and situations. The compa
ny interpret the play admirably. 1t will be
repeated this afternoon and tonight
