Confound It, it is too bad to como out with such a ploce of news on thia peacoful Sabbath morn, when every adult Chicagoan has a clean shurt on, and every good little boy is laboriously learning his Sunday-school hymn.

The most hoticonble fenture of the drama last weok was the general falling off in attondance at tho South Bido thoatres, and a proportionate in- oreao a¢ the West Bilo atar theatre, Novolty 18 the ruling passion of the day, and oven that fals to draw if it Dbo hot In tho superlative degrea. Mr. Gardiner's thea- tre, jammod to muffocation, bad a rare novelty on view, in tho inimitable Vokes Tamily, There was no question sbout that, but * Olouds " ot Hooley's was a novelty in more waya than one, and yet the attendanco was small, compared with what it should have boon, Mies Neilson at MoVicker's in Rosalind was mot a nove elly, but a rarity, aud yot the houeos wore by no means to be compared with thoso of the provious week. And, to make mattora still worse, Myera' Miistrols did bettor thnn any of thoir South Bido neighbora. A first- class minstrol dompany in ¢hin city is spparently 0, miné of wenalth, and & good dramatic per- formanco, no matter of what kind, a hazardous eutorpriso. Whother this {a sovero on the thoa- tres or the publio is & quostion tho reader mey decide according to' his judgment, it boing morely borne. in mind that tho stook companies of Chicago, though not of uniform oxcellenoo, averago higher than those of other Inrga cities, while the stars wo have are of stich megnitudo as to exert an Jmimense attractive forca, It i, porliaps, due to tho briof ongnge- ‘mont of the Vokes, and the nocessary cramming of large numbers into a short spage of time. ' MVICRER'S TUEAIRE, The second woek of Miss Noilson's engago- ment was marked by a rovival of the most deli- oato of Shakepoaroan- comedics, ‘' As You Like It," with the fair Iady in the role of Rosalind. For some reason the attendnuce nt the four ropresontations of this light and airy drama did not by suy mosns equal that of lnstyear. Tho falling off was quite marked, for standing-room last soason was at & premium when Rosalind was on the stage. Thers is no nood to go over the ground cavered by tho no- ticoy of last season, but it would bo ungracious to dismiss the performance without a word. briof, it may bo said to bo a role for which Miss Nellson Is 88 gonerously qualified by natural gifla s is the Juliet which Las won for her sach widospread renown. And while the muporficial auditois may be plossed with its archness, fresh- ness, and suppresued air of comlo approciatiou, & moro caroful studont will reslizo more fully, each timo ho aces it, how profoundly it has boen studiod, and bow much hag beon added by tho actross to give & form to the ideal. Thero are quaint liftle touches throughout which give - warmth to tho plcture just whero one foola the necossity for it, and supply little floshes of character which render the creation & more perfeot one. Of her support i thera is not much to be said, On the wholo, tho ‘piece went vory smoothly and ovenly, Mr. 0'Neil Elnylng Orlando with more graco than usual in s honvior.or older parts. In point of faot, Mr. 0'Noil is in dangor of losing that freedom and aco of pose, aotion, and resding which have een applauded froquently. He is dropping un- consclously into habits of * stagyness ' which he cannot escape from, It wonld bo 5rently to_his advantago if somo watchiful friend could help . him to realizo the effect of Bome of his gostures from before the curtain.
