THE DRAMA, The unfavorablo weather which provailed faring tho carly part of the first weok of Miss Pharlotte Cushman's engazomont at McVicker's Theatre threatcned to seriously affect the finan- tial succees of the enterprizo, leaving the man- ger to make up a Leavy deficit, but a chango of Semporature, and theabsenca of blinding storms, 2ame to the rescuo both of the public and Mr. BlcVicker, enabling tho latter to escapo without ‘material loss, znd tho former to enjoy & dra- ioatic fesst guch as is rarely offered. Miss Cush- ‘nan gave hor wonderful impersonation of Meg Merrilies throughout the entir~ weelk, to crowded fouses on Christmas day n- ing, and on Friday and Saturday nights, a.. .ath indifferont eupport by the company, but the deficiencies in this direction wero not of much consequence, Eince overybody went to see Charlotte Cush- mon, aud took bat little interest in any other featuro of tho performance. For the ensuing seek extrsordinary atiractions are underlined. Or Monday, Tuesdsy, and Wednesday evenings 4 Macbeth " will be produced, with Miss Cush- man in her great roleof Lady Macbeth, while the part of Macbeth will be played by Mr. Milnes Levick, who has been engaged espressly to sap- port Miss Cushman in the heavy tragic roles.

At the New Year's matineo, on Wednesday, ot B o'clock, Miss Cushman makes her first and only appearance in comedy. The mero novelty of the thing will be suflicient to excite the live- Lzt interest, and those who expect to be able to get int> the theatre ehould look to their seats in cue geason. For this single occasion the bril- sot comedy of “ Simpson & Co.” will bo given, “vith the following remarkzble cast: Miss Charlotte C Mary Myers i iara Stoneall The great feature of the weck, and of the en- pagemcut, promises to be the production of +Xing Henry VIIL.,” for the first timo in Chica- g0 for over fifteen years.

Financially, bis saccess has fallen . -r short of his deserts, and tire same is true of . he management, whose lib- eral outlay in the splendid mounting of * Julius Crsar " was well w(ithy of more substanticl en- souragement. Bad weather and strong counter pttractions were tho chief elcments of opposi- tion, and it is earnestly to be Loped that Mr. Borrett will not be discouraged from snother Sisit under more favorable suspices. His mag- nificent rendition of Cassius has created an im- ression here which will be found of eerviceto Eim on the occasion of his next appearance in Chicago. This weel: Boucicsult’s grent drama, “The T.ong Strike,” is to be produced at Aiken's, with Alr. Lawlor as Johnny Reilly, Mr. Mordaunt e Jem Starkie, Mr. Dean as Nogh Lea- royd, Mrs. Lenagan ss_ Jane Learoyd, fQiiss Remick as Betsy, etc. On Monday even- ing, Jan. 6, Mr. Joseph Proctor begins an en- gagement, appearing in the highly sensational play of the * Red Pocket-Book.” At the New Year's and Saturdsy matinees, * The Long Strike * will be given.

Tho music publishing firm of Chandler & Curtis in this city,—the only house now en- gaged in that business in Chi.~ *7,—are entitled to the crodit of doing the ban _somest work in this country.

Itis whatheis, His compositions and his performances indicete s mind full of original and ezrnest thoughts, of serious etrug- glea with tiie spiritual and social prollem of the time, of a yearning toward divine beauty, truth, and peace, He is & etrong child who has carried i3 youth witli him into his maturity, an lost nothing of the questful and serious curiosity of o firet-awakened soul. 4, clearly, altoough a man, of (hought and culture, acquainted with Eurcpean life, he has much of that Orfental and mystical charm which made Kossuth kot of poet-prophct-siatesman, and gave his utterance, even in o foreign tongue, an cloquence and charm quite uniguo and and unparallcled. We hear the Orient in the solemn snd hushed tone, the mystic and Daif-fatalistic qualily, the drexmy sad unfamiliar and unpractical essenco of his music : but it is tho East ab its_confiuence witl: tho West !
