Show I Theatre. Iu compliance with a generally n-nipjsd rtpsire the extravaganza of "Ev uiiline" was made the opening piece for Rije'a extravaganza com 1 bination instead of "Conrad, the Corsair," as advertised. The perform ance was a succeBa, and tho company certainly is composed of artists. Bursts of laugther succeeded each other in euch quick succession that one might ay well have laughed constantly, without with-out going to the trouble of Btarting afresh. The extravaganza is one which contains innumerable laughable laugh-able and abBurd situations, while many of the jokes are new and the puns are brought out with an ease that is quite refreshing after listening listen-ing to the common and agonizing attempts at this Bpecies of wit. The coatumea are very nne. iu music, too, is new, which, though it bad no other merit, might speak in its favor; and there are some sweet voices with which to give this music expression. Altogether, the performance perform-ance waB fully up to the presa repro sentalioui and was deserving of the liberal patronage it received. "Evangeline" will be repeated this evening when it will doubtleas be greated by another good bouse. A matineo for children will be given on Wednesday afternoon and "Coun.d, the Cnrsair" will be pro dutd Wednesday evening. |
