JUDGE. Mr. Bronson Howard, in ‘One of Our Girls,” now being played at the Lyceum Theatre, has returned with interest the ma- that we have received from and dri Sardou’s 10 THE ench writ American are carrica- AP THE ¥ ; by French how-de-do ” the Parisian press, and all Paris howls in agony. he play has also created quite a sensation here, it being the subject of con- versation in the clubs and in society. At first there was a feeling of irritation at the idea that Miss Nate Shipley, the American nderson” has left us, but “ Our | girl, played by Miss Helen Dauvray, was a y,”’ statnized, can be secn at the Eden | type of our best society.

The managerial guild would doubtless like to learn the secret by which the Messrs. Aronson make wu hit with everything they pnt on at the Casino. It was considered a istake when they supplanted the still pop- anon” with ‘* Amorita,” but the which the latter is making, proves the wisdom of the change. The end of Shakesperian revivals is not yet. Mr. Augustin Daly proposes to try his master-hand on ** Merry Wives of Windsor. Mr. Charles Fisher will show how mach of ackett’s mantle he has succeeded to. — Be | the likeness of the Fulstaf? close or remote, there is no question that the match- | less ensemble of Daly’s company. will make | this piece ttractiv any of the other Shakesperean productions of this season, which is saying much. Something new in the way of celebrating | aran will be Dix Grand Ball on the oc- | casion of the five-hundreth performance of “ Adonis,” with an accompanying statuette of himself, ‘To preserve the art unities this statne should be an automatic Adonis capa- ble of dancing a b own when woand up and called to life; and if possible it ought | to be able, like Tennyson’s brook, to go on forever, intimating the staying qualities of the play.

The char- | acters are true to life and in marked con- trast, so that the moving pictures, all tend- ing to laughter, are artistically graded and most effective. Miss Dauvray, as A’ate Shipley, is charm- | ing. Anything more natural and winsome than her lineing of the part cannot well be conceived. She is fun-loving, mischievous, and womanly by turns, and just such as one meets in | y has learned | By her quiet j humor, graceful manner ‘and. insidious | methods both heart and intelligence are | made captive. ‘The perfection of the cast and the beauty of the sets are topics of frequent conversation. “One of Our Girls” would undoubtedly be astrongcard in London, ‘The pointed and aughable hits at Johny Crapaud would bel quite as much appreciated by our English | cousins as they are here.—[Communicated.
