THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1874. © REVIEW OF AMUSEMENTS. 1 THE DRAMA. i Tho past week has been marked by no very . ipieresting dramatic_event. Threo theatres pave been occupied by stars in tneir second yeok, while one bas anew onein ai old piece. Business goneraily at the legitimate theatres has pecn 0Bly moderately good, which may be bed to many causes, according to the stand- int of the observer. The public may think {be stiractions offered were not good ; managers {pink ivwas the weather; players think it was {he bad taste of the poople at large. Perhapsall {hese causes combined to make the weok stupid. fhero were some bad nights, also somo stapid jioces and tiresomo players, and the public did torn its back upon something that wasunusually i guol. Homever, it s its own fault, sud it is o, pesvy loser. The present weok promises to bo somowhat better, the variety of amusements as- suring more genoral interest than thoso of last week. = M'VICKER'S THEATRE. The Rockvwell and Ringgold Combination, witl 7. H. Stoddart as star, finiehed ' a very unfortu- pate formight at McVicker's last evening. When smanoffers ab unusually good article at a low ) price aad finds no purchasere, he isunfortunate, snd that is what Mr. Stoddart's managers did. The openiog night, Mr. Stoddart appeared in “Dangerous Joy,” & Scotch version of the French drama from which * Kerry ™ was taken. It was played with spirit, and to the manifest enjoyment of the andience, 28also was * Tho § LoogStrike,” which followed it. The Eecond T wees two brief, bright little pieces, ** The Secrot Hariisge” and * Amoricans in Paris,” wera of- ferd, with fower takers than ever. Mr. Stod- Zsrtssnot koown in Chcago, and henco the peglect shown bim. Miss Burke, who played * gith the company the first woek, left sud- Zenly, and Miss Gaylord took her place. ‘The reappearance of Edwin Booth at this the- atre 58 s0on after his businoss miefortunes will gee the public_an opportunity to testify their pathy with the great actor. The programme for the week is 3 most brilliant one. Monday, iiThe Merchant of Venice;” Tuesday, ‘ Othello;" Wednesday night and Saturday matihee, **Muach Ado About Nothing;” Thursday end Saturday, “ya Apostato;” Fridsy, “Bratus.” 3r, Booth is eupported by Miss Bella Pateman, from Lis thestre, un accomplished and popular ] sruste. Tho cast of “The Merchant of Yenice” will be as follows : : 1 mrlock... sesseeso...Edwin Booth Fortis. . woee i3 Bella Paterman Dukeof Venice. F. R. Pierco Bassanio . W. Norris Leoaard e Tubal... idney Young Neris fe Batchelder Vith h artists as Edwin Booth, Miss andJ. H. McVicker in the cast, 1 the resder needs no assurance of the excellence of the performance. This ia tho only occasion ujon which the dama will be presented. The e of the Shakspearcan drama could mever ‘e moze welcome than now. HOOLEY'S THEATRE. ? 3 M Westorn's Lltle souson ai Hooloy's h ] ended. It cama to a conclusion when the -cur- tsin fell on ** Oliver Twist " last night, It has a0 extraordinary bold upon the public, has this Pella Pateman, Gsgusting tragedy—disgusting, wo mean, £s - plaed by Miss Western. “‘East Lynne™ [ the” memt of extremo beautifui- 3 1ess, and, therefore, has claims upon the * ymiration of theatre-goers. *‘Oliver Twist™ 1as oceans of blood, actually shed upon thostage Iy the bucketful; hence it draws. ~* Blood will 11" is a8 true in theatrical matters as in human dsirs. - It is gore that is wanted, and *‘ Oliver T is gory.

But the ochreous ‘horrors of tage mur- der were taken away last night. And now comes another novelty. Daly's Divorce,” which was written by some eight or ten different olsimants, i verecity - obtains - universally,” from * An: {bony Trollope’s ‘“He Knew He' Was Eight," reappears st Hooley's to-morrow under tte titls ‘of “Divorced.” The latter may be uid 1o be more perfect than the former, in title 4 danymate. Itiseud to differ altogether from the former version. Tho characters, however, sppear to be somewhat the eame. Mr. John Dillon plays Barringlon Hawson, the divorce Iawyer, in which he will doubtless be as droll as srer. ‘The drama is in four acts. Bartlcy Camp- bell's Risks " is in active.proparation, and wiil teplayed shortly. It was & favorito hare during its first production. ACADEMY OF MTSIO. Oliver Doud Byron bas been playing for _one week nt the Academy of Music in his time-hon- ered drama ¢ Across the Continent.” The great personal and professional popularity of - Mr. By- 1o have always secared him good business in Chicsgo, whero be hsa played to large houses. They wera not able to cope with the general dull- _ness which prevailsin the city, however, and § though bia busivess fmproed rightly ' through {be week, the Academy of Music was not as | cowded as in old_times daring Lis engagement. ! To-morrow evening, however, he will appear in suew piece, entitled ‘Donald McEay,” and founded on incidents of the Modoc War, with 5 correct costumen, startling tableaux, and all the ; excellent ecenic eects which Mr. Graves knows w well bow to prepare. Tomorrow afternoon, however, Mr. Grayes i wants to see about s many of his friends 28 the i Aesdemy of Musio will hold, on the occasion of i hisbenefit. The stage of the Academy will be § sorely taxed to sccommodate his professionsl bretbren who have volunteered their mervices for the occasion, and, if tho auditorium is as well filled as tho stage, Alr. Graves will have zething to complain of. Among the many actors ¥ho promptly stepped forward are Messrs. Frack Arken and Harry Linden, and Miss Mand 7 Hiten, who will play in the comedy ““A Cup of . Tea”followed by Mr. Byron aud the Academ : Company in ** Across the Continent.” This will ! mike an sttractive entertainmont, and bring out ‘ the many friends Mr. Graves has made during his residence in Chicago, and especially since Lis 1 connection with the stage of tho Academy. THE ADELPHI spears £o havo beon doing sbout all the heavy riness there waa to do during the week. Tho wiformuty with wldch the houssis crowded erery evening seemg to show that the manage- Cent have just luathe mark with an entertain- Deat that pleases ladies and gentlemen alike. The metinees and Thursday evening per- formances assurs Mr. Grover that the fair Bex tre satisfied, and if their critical taste is ot of- fended, he may be comfortably certain that the rotlemen will ind o fault. Blr. Davis, the 0us ventriloguist, ends his engsgement and takes away the good wishes of the pacrons of the Adelphi that he maycome sgain. Mr. Page, cornet-player, who but one tal in two _continents, remains for woter week. His marvelons use of the Iustrment has attracted hundreds of people to 4s Adelphi who usually attend only musical en~ ents, and the prolonged applsuse and oquent enchren with which s pertormances 4% groeted are in evidence that he 14 understood. Thie is the more apparent as he avoids anything iks clap-trap in his eelections, and, except when berempondu to a third or fourth encore, with & amilinr air of the popular order, confives him- %o good music.

MYERS' OPERA-HOUSE. * The burnt-cork men are preparing for a wook of riotous mezriment, with an_ entirely new bill, the great feature of which is & local comedy en- titled * Our Great City," withnewscenery, by Mr. Halley, and some novel effects showing the city by gas-light, and forming onoof the most pleas- ing pictorial effccts ever presented to the public, Thie farce is brimful of humor, we aro sasured, and presents, in the form of caricature, some of the most ludicrous plases of Chicago social life, Courtwright and Nowcomb bave an nct to them- selves,entitled ** Whisky Btraight,™ and Arlington, Lindon, and Surridgo, *Lovs in's Basket.” The, weaus still remain, as do Morton in their speciliies, Wl * THE PRODIOAY, BOX. . The management of tho exhibition of the painting of the ** Prodigal Son”. announce to- day in another column that the grand work of art will remain in this city during the whole of the present week, future engagements having becn postponed at the request 'of prominent citizens who wish their friends to participate in their enjoyment: Yesterday was o grand gals day, from an early hour in the forenoon the Art ‘Hall being filled with spectators, who passod out through the north door to make room for othora. In the middle of the afterncon the throng was sodenso that the manager gave dircotions to stop the aale of tickets, but meny proferred to take their chances of waiting until thoy could enter the gallery. It will be folly to postpons until next Saturday the visit'to the beautiful paiuting, for it has not been extravagantly raised beyond its merits, but is & marvel of auty and artistio skill, which every refined poraon would enjoy s thoroughly aa _those who bave never had the opportuuity of visiting the finest galleries of Europe. - The grandeur of tho scene and the immensity of the painting require cloee tudy, and at least's full hour should be got apart upon tho first pleasant day to sce Du- bufe's triumph of art. DBANATIO NOTES. Lawrence Barrett is announced to easay King Zear at Now Orleans for the first tume. ““Bchool” has attained its 500th reprcsenta- tion at the Prince of Wales' Theatre, London. Salvini_displayed “tho awakod furyof the Hyrean tigor dissucbed st bis foast of blood,” in t. Louis, “ Money " has been the attraction at Wallack’s ‘Theatro during the week. Chicago managers would like to sec some of is. The Grand Opera-Houso built in Now York by the late Mr. Pike is uow virtually s varioty thea- tre, under the mensgement of G. L. Fox. The censor of the Parisian stage has intor- dicied the performanceof ‘* Les Miserables " at the Porte Bt. Martin Theatro. Mr. Murdoch thinks Forrest employed no more muscularity in his acting, prorata, than tho next mas, ouly he bad n great deal more of it to uso. The historic Bovwery Theatre is to_be devoted- to German theutricals, the Siadt Theatre hav- ing been found 100 small to meat the increasing patronage of th* German drama. A young sutbor resding o tragedy perceived his_auditor very often pull off bis batat the ond of the line, and asked tho reason. *I'can't pass a very oid_ncquaintance without cimlity,” repliod the critic. Mies Montsgue bas reached the climax of her misfortunes, - Hamilton was s sooband made hor. pay for the supper, sud failed to offer her thet ring ; sho found hersclf undesorvedly noto- rious ; und now she has the small-pox. Barnum's Hippodrome, which be isto name “The Evont of 1874, will be opencd in April with o grand pageant, 1t ia sitnated on the cor- ner of Tweniy-seventh street and Fourth ave- nue, New York, and covers nearly three acres. French justice resembles the heatlien Chinee. Iiis n,:cnhu. The mansger who sccopts a play and finding it is worthless must not only pay for it, but must play it, too. Anthors in France run matters with as” high s band as managers do in the United States. Edwin Booth's jewelry was rated at 39,000, but two cyphers being removed, the trae vlne was reached. ' It is now claimed that his extrav- agsnce’ in dumb-bells ruined Lim, 28 ho had £300 worth. ‘Applying’ the same rule, he prob- ably had two pairs. g The Now York Tribune suggested: that Daly was going to throw * Love's Labor Lost” to the public 28 & stop-gap, to which the great manager Teplies that he doesn't agreowith the great eritio, which i8 not wonderfcl. The twonever did agree. - In “Ruy Blas,” at the London Vaudeville, car- toons of Gladstone are exhibited. The Lord Chamberlain attompted to suppress them, but the mannger resisted, alleging that, if it was wrong, to exhibit caricatures on the stage, it was wrong to allow thiem to appear in Vanity Fair. Mr. W. J. Florence brought out & new play at the Washington Notional Theatre, s few nights ago. 1Itis entitled *‘Coming Home, " and it wag Siitten by Mr. G. R, Walker, of London, and from him purchased by Mr. Florence. It 18 sim- plo, domestic, and wholesome. The members of the cclobrated Artists’ Club, in Paris, lately gave a theatrical entertainment, the scevery for which was painted by every momber in succession. Thus a landscape pre- sented during the porformsuce was pawted and “tonched up”- by noless than 100 different ar- tists, Lotta played for the benefit of the New Or- leans Newsboys' Home, and Ben De Bar glnyed with her. So overcome were the gamins by the radiant brilliancy of the lady's performance that they presented her with a gold medal. Lotta's roply o the children's prayer thot *Angels would shield the brisht angel star that cheers them on their way” was tbe donation of an angelic kiss to tbe spohesman of tho boys. Al love thy plays, but children love them best.” Mrs. Conway seriously thought of prosecuting the Lingards for playing a transiation of Feuil- fots #1a Tentation,” which farnithed Bouci- cault “a hint” for “Led Astray,” now her property. ‘This is nearly as brilliant sa Bonci- cault’s own flash in the pan, when he threatened Mr. McVicker with legal torments for playing Fronchwomen,” because it was s translation from which he * adapted " ¢ Mimi." Tne production of & truly American drama,— George Fawcett Rowe's adaptation of Fenimore Cooper's novel, from “ The Pathfinder” to *‘The Prairie,” comprising the “ Leatherstocking " serics,--was a brilliant success. The sudienco were ‘delighted, and gave way to rapturous ap- plause, celling the_players before the eurtain. Rir. Rowe, tho suthor, played the role of Hawk- eve, and hiss called out the plaudits of the press. The delicato romance that envelops Cooper's stories would, spparently, warn any ambitious playwright against invading its bewitching at- mosphere. Mr. Rowe appears to have brought down the interest of the story to the lovel of activo stage representation without marring the postry of the original. Not that he hss made By sttempt to produco upon the stage the dréamy grace of the novelist, except in so far ag his acting of tho leading character goes. ~But behas displayed extraordinary ability in pro- penting the exquisite tales as they were given. The Tribune's indorsement of the piece 18 unre- served and enthusiastic, both a8 to the piece and the manner of its presentation. Mr. Rowe has, spparently, moro than covered the reputation aade by his * Geneva Crors.” Tho world may be certain, now, that ho did not write “ Zip,’ ) after all.

TFirst, its extreme difficulty, §rOwing P artislly ous of the manner ¢ mencing March 80, in which it is written, aud partially out of the i.n}tricutu tempos, which leave no cue to the singers, eithor from the different parts or in the sccompaniment. Absolute accuracy can only be obtained by connting the beats, snd, as there aro but few singers accustomed to do thls, the re- sult is that the msjority wait for the few. When coneulting with Mr... Thomas .as to its production he remarked, “‘If the Club only does the ‘Puradiss and the Pen'moder- ately well, it will be & crodit to them.”. Another fact which is of great importance is, that the Club could have but oné rchearsal with the or- chestra, owing to Mr. Thomas' arrangemerits hore, and the nacessity he was under of rohears- ing for other concerts. on his way back to New. York. This was unfortunste, and left the Club’ to Bllr;fgle 28 it best could. When a lady of the musical culture of Mies Dorix- failed to make a complete success, and even commenced one solo in the wrong key, it is not surprising thatounr home singers shonld have boen timid in attack- ing such difficalt solos in the presence of so 'vast an audience. 3 ¥ That the Club should have made this work presentable in the faco of 50 many_obstaclos is to its credit, and ghows a wortby ambition; and if, all things considered, the ‘‘Parndise and the Peri ” was above its grasp, it has the consolation of knowing that it has been above the erasp of almost every other orgenization which has un- dertaken it, even in Earope. ; With rezilu'd t0 its performances in this conn-, try, the following communication to the Kew York Tribune sbows that the Apollo Club will - have fo loge tho credit of- introducing it in this country: STy Srm: Allow me to state, in responss to a remark in this morning's Tribune :; to Schumann's *Paradise and the Peri” having been performed in this country once only,—in Boston,—that thors was a performance jears 20, 1 of the work in New York about twenty-five y if my memory serve, and a very fair recital it was. the primitive days of music in ity the bést ability of the profession did not disdsin totake minor parts.in the production of a fine work, and many even thought 1t quite worthy of their best efforts toaid in leading the chorus, George Loder, at that time conductor of the Thilharmonic, was the leader of all oratorios, gles and ‘madrigal societies, cte.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Sm: Whatever minor points may bs in dis- pute, it is generally conceded that good sense and sound policy dictate s eale to the Railroad ‘Companies of that portion of the Lake-Front ‘which is desired by them for depot-purposes, The only question at issue is the value of the property. The Companies offer the sum of $80,000in cash. Moraover, they agres to accept s quit-claim from the city, and fight all batties for the perfecting of their title at their own ex- pense. ‘This proposition is o liberal a one—so much botter, I am persuaded, than can be obtained {from any other quartor—that it is unbecoming in & city eo greatly in need of money as this, to speculatoupon the necessities of theee roads, and endeavor to extort from them & larger sum than any one else will pay. Evenif the title of thecity was absolutely clear,—which it is very far from being,—the sum offered is more than the property could posaibly be sold for, either at publio or private sale, by wholesale or rétail, or in any other way, save to the parties who, with money in hand, now stand rendy to take it. . % I ask no one to pay any rogard to my ewn un- supported opinion.. . But the opinion of Mr. A. J. Averell, Alr. W. D. Kerfoot, Mesers. Clarke, Layton & Co., and Messrs. Snyder & Lee is en- titled to the fullest confidenco. Theso gentle- men have deliberately given thoir opinion to the public, that $800,000 is more than any party ex- cept the Railrond Companies would'rive for the three biocks in question, and take the titlo of the city a8 it now stands. ] ‘Ihers is no higher authority in Chicago on questions respecting the valuo of real estato, than the combined and unanimous judgment of the sbovo gentlemen. They are diftorcated and of great exoorienco, and are men of semark- able caution in the expression of their opinions, which aro, tnerefore, o to the more weight. Upon the point of value in thia case, they mani- fort no doubt. They state positively that 3800, 000 is o msximum’ valuation. In the face of guch an opinion by such men, 18 it probable that sny party would have the boldness to offer a larger sum for the property ? - It must be mani- fest that, if the opinions of these men are not Teliable, then all opinions on the subject must be alike conjectaral and worthlees. That other men of respectable judge .nt should, on the spur of the moment end without full examination, faney the property to be worth moro, is perfectly matural. But such men, if they sre candid and have no Private “ axes'to grind,” will modify their opin- 1ons a8 soon as they see reason to do so. I would respectfully esk these gentlemen to consider tho only point in controversy: the valua of the city's interest in the property,—bearing in mind theim- perfection of the city's title, wiich is admitted on all hands.. The more carefully this point is examined, the more clearly will it appear thut the offer made is not only an ample, but a_very generons ono, coupled with the extraordinary manner in which payment is to be made, aud the public usa to which the property is to be de- voted. As it in universally deemed wise to dispose of the property, and as 500,000 has becn pro- nounced a full valuation by the most experienced mon i the community, the eooner the transac- tion is consummated 'tho better. By delay wo aro simply losing tho interest upon the large £um within our reach, every dollsr of which the city will soon need to meet ite liabilicies and maintain its credit, The Railroad Companies,- be it remembered, wish the prope:ty solsly and oxclusively for a purpoee that will ba of benetit to the city at large; and it is for thia reason that I have been 8o zealous, and 1 fesr obtrusive, in its behalf,—an offense for which I cave the par- don of the public. ! The Companies, as I am informed, are willing that the lezal papers giving them possession should be 8o drawn that no sub-sale of any por- tion of the property should ezer be made by them for otber purposes, and, 1 cass of 8o doing, their title should be forfeited altogether. Such an agreement on their part, made in_good faith, merits not only just, but liberal, action towards them on the part of the city. Yours respect- fully, J. Esatas WARREN. THE SMOKE-NUISANCE. Gluck’s ** Alceste,” Halevy's ‘‘ Mosquetaire de 1a Reine,’ and Verdi's “Aida" arein active preparation.

Tho palaces that bave risen like magic since the Great Fire are already assu ming the dingy appearanco of age without and the gloom of black fllth within ; walls, transformed into repositories for lamp-black, have speadily lost their now and fresh look, and are rapidly being frescoed without the md of any artist ex- copt old Boreas, or any pigment eave 00t or carbon. N Tt is not to be expected that, in localitios where ‘Ybituminous coal is used, the atmosphers can be 28 free from the appearance of smoke as where anthracite is nsed, but it may be just as freo from 300¢ in ono caso a3 in the other. The bitominous coal now ia use is mainly de- rived from the upper coal-messures, and is charged with sulphur, tar, and earthy impuri- ties. When this coal Is submitted to the d structive distillation of the farnace, there al- ways arises a certain quantity of non-consumed ases, chiefly carbonio oxide, varied in amount the chemical elements of the coal, and col- ored, to a greater or less dogree, by tha sulphur, tar, and earthy impuritios before referred to. But these gascs, colored slightly though they may be, are always lighter than the air, and_are hence borne upward and quickly dissppesr, if they are frce from carbon. If, however, they sro mingled with carbon, impariing a denso, black color, they became heavicr than the at- mosphero 28 a rule, and, therefore, shroud every- thing benesth the chimney in & bath of lamp- block, damsging everything with which they come in contact. "That it is both practical and easy to prevent the formation of this carbon or soot, has been clearly demonstrated in goveral large buildings in the city, viz: the Lakeside Luilding, the Ropublic-Life Building, the warehouse of Jobn Y. Farwoll, and others, The appliancea for ac- complishing the desired result are said to be simple, choap, and readily applied. It 18 lso as- serted that their use is ttended with a decided paving in fuel. This could hardly be otherwise, for it is well known that the most Jaluabie fael of soft coal is to be dertved from the gases rather than from the coke. The Common Conncil should appoint a com- petent committee to thoroughly investigsto this subject, and, if found practicable, should sdopt some ordinance which, while not oppressive up- on individuals or fosternmg sny special patent monopoly, shoald protect the public good. Cmcago, Feb. 21, 1874, Lro. A Letter of Carlyle’s on Capital and Labor. The following unpublished letter from Mr. Carlgle to SirJ. Whitworth, regarding the an- Bounicement made some months ago of the lat- ter's intention to supplement the savings of his ‘workpeopla by bonus upon them, was read on Jan. 26, by the Hon. snd Rey. W. H. Lyttclton, at s meeting of the Stourbridge School of Art: 1 have heard of your offer on behalf of the thrifty work people of Darley, and of the thank- fal acceptance of it by the district anthorities of the place. I cannot resist the highly unwonted desire that has rizen in me to eay that I highly approve and appland the ideas you have on the EBjoct, and to declare in words that in my Lopinivn nothing wiser, more beneficent, or worthy of your distinguished place as a master of workers haa came before me for many a year. Would to Heaven that all or many of ths “cap- taine of industry in England bad asoul in thom such a3 yours, and could do as you have done, or could still’ further co-operate with you in works and plans to the like effect, The look of England. is_to me at this moment abundantly ominous, Tho question’ of capital and labor, growing ever more anarchic, _insolublo altogeth- er by the notions hitherto applied to it, is pretty certain to:iseue in petroleum one day, nnless £oms other gospel than that of the * Dismal Sci- enco’ come to illuminateit. Two things are protey sure to ma. ‘The first is, that capital sud sbor never can or will agree together, till thoy both firat of all decide on doing their work faith- {fully ‘throoghout, and like men of conscienca sud honor, whogo highest aim 1s to bohave like faithful citizens of this universe, and obey the' eternal commaridment of the Almighty God, who made them. The second thing is, that a sadder object than either that of tho co:i strike, or any conceivable strike, is tho fact that, loosely apenk- ing, all England 'bas decided that the profit~ ablest way. is todo its work ill. slimly, swiftly, and mendaciously, What' & coutrast between now and, eay, only a hundred yearsago! At that latter date, or. still more_conspicuousty for ages before “that, all England “awoke to its work with an invocation to the Eternal Maker co bless them in their day’s labor, and belp them 1o do it well. .
