Show T1k rr. litjiii's. I The U"r,'Vi i-roiirjA.- iroui.o ; has in.1 il a ft- n j- iiiKiHs' ein: lament . here, and will uppmr ou Ciimtmas evening, and tho remaining nights of that week. Tho character of their porlormanccs is similar to tho entertainments enter-tainments given by the Vokce, and is of a high order of comedy. Ech member of the company is a utar, and a troupe could not possibly come with better press recommendations. Their performances which are of a burlesque comedy nature, havo everywhere drawn immense houses, and are-such that tho most sensitive can attend without fear of Beeiug or hearing anything ofieusive. They play a number of sparkling burlesques, among which are the "Hobbies," "Under the Roso," "Cruets," "The R imblerB," etc. Tho Chicago Journal has the following concerning the performance per-formance of "Hobhi-33" by l he Froiiquej: "Hobbies," at Hooley's, last evening, even-ing, made a decided hit. The puy has been named "Hobbies" wt-il, that name fits the piece as well as anything, and "Hobbies" turn out to be a very tunny burlepquo. It starts in all of a sudden, and tor two mortal tiours the audience is kept in a roar. It would a mo3t diflicult matter to Eive a minute description of "Hobbies." "Hob-bies." The author never intended that it should be described. There is singing and dancing no end of the former, and a generous supply of the latter, with a judicious supply of wit, telerably fair puns, and local hits sandwiched in to make it rtlishable. |
