The fresh features of the | present wock are of a diversified though not | all of a strictly no’ acl The doorsof Wallack’s 1 reopen, and all who feel inclined (provided they pur- chase tickets) may enter and witness the old and rusty comedy of Masks and 3; then as soon as Peg Woflington retires, the hous will be given over to Moths. Mr. Wal- lack is not laboring under the delusion that his house is a little heaven, where moth and rust do not corrupt, is apparent, for we have his own statement t he soon expects to be on The Road to Ruin. If he survives all this, he will thenact upon Impulse, and after that, deponent eth not Mr. Daly opens the son with Dollars and Sens t us hope he will close it with an accumulation of both these desirable ar- ticles. At the Fifth Avenue Theatre this is the | last week of the French opera season. Aimee in Divorcons is in her element, and Angele in La Fille de Mme. A is immense. Mule. Nixau, who made her debut last week, is pretty and pleasing. She also has a voice —asmall one, but it is not unpleasant, and some of her notes are very good. Wyndham is still at the Union Square, though his engagement is rapidly dr aclose. In fact Mr. Jefferson w session of the theatre next k, when he will appear as Caleb Plummer in the Cricket on the Hearth. At the Standard ‘*The dismal Duche: holds her sway. If the un-Anglicised jokes fall fat, the chorus of tigers is at least com- prehensible to t t, and the | purity of sentiment in the duet sung by azon and Rowena, is only equalled by legant versiication of Mr. Sims—one eof which we will quote for the benefit of those readers who have not been fortunate {os unfortunate) enough to witness the per- formance: BRABAZON. Do you remember Richmond, love, The Star and Garter dinner: ¢ little dinner and the gloves Of which you were the winner ? ROWENA, I don’t remember; I don’t remember that. BRABAZON.

Besides, has she not brought | home from Paris 83,000 worth of dresses, : made witha postillion waist, for this play? Better than that, she has ta- ken ten lessons at the Conservatory in Paris, id to use her own words, she has *‘ learned to fall in much better style, in the last act, than Sara Bernhardt.” But even this is not Mrs. Curtis assures us that she has seen ny Camilles in real life, and her dear amuel took her last summer to the Paris Hippodrome, the Cafe Americane and other such resorts. “on purpose to study the man- ners and characteristics of the women of whom Camille wa: ” That settles it. If the ten lesson: don’t bring down th in the Paris Hippodrome sorts ought certainly to have the desired ef- fect. If Mr. Curtis could only be induced to assume the part of Armand, the success of the play would be assured. But to return to our theatres, Fanny Davenport is playing her $10,000 Fedora at | the Fourteenth Street Theatre; and Char- | lotte Thompson is doing what she can in the | same line of business at the Twenty-Third Street house. Mr. and Mrs. MeKee Rankin are at their own theatre, and Barrett is still at the Star, We shall hereafter cease to mention that the Rajah is still at the Madison Square, and that Prince Methusalem reigns at the Casino. Excelsior is as popular as ever at Niblo and X, Seltzer is funny at ‘* The Fris¢o’s. The Florences are at the Grand Opera House—but of them and their new play, Facts, more anon.
