Show THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE. The Next Attraction Promised by the Careless Opera Company. The wonderful success which attended the performances of "Patience" and the "Mikado" by the home company, has inspired in-spired a disposition to attempt a number of other operas, first among which the "Pirates of Penzance," will be given. For some weeks past there has been an active rehearsal of this opera, and it is safe to say.that by the 22d inst., the date set for the performance, the several parts will have been mastered as perfectly as were several in the former performances of the amateurs. A feature which attracts extraordinary interest to this approaching opera is the fact of Mr. Robert Gorlinski having been embraced in the cast for the Pirate King. Those who have been present at rehearsals rehear-sals declare that Mr. Gorlinski's acting will excel, if it were possible, his magnificent mag-nificent singing, and this alone will induce a large attendance, for the gentleman is quite a favorite among the musical public. pub-lic. Messrs. White and Pvper both have admirable opportunities in their roles, but such cannot be said of Mr. Spencer, who really can only shine in one particular particu-lar scene, a fact much to be regretted, as he has always contributed more than perhaps per-haps ahy other individual to the success of ,t,he local operas. Miss Edith Clawson and Miss Louie Wells, particularly the latter, have parts admirably adapted to their respective voices, and are expected to make a marked success, as no doubt they will. The parts are all in good hands, and under the efficient and indefatigable inde-fatigable direction of Professor Careless, will doubtless make , of the "Pirates of Penzance" a brilliant success that will not prove a wit "behind their other notable performances.
