THE DRAMA. “ F Popular interest in our comedy theatre (shich has not been such for some time past). is begin- ning to revive, aud iuquiriea are being made of tho strength of the company for mext season. Mr. Hooloy Las determined to try once more the strength of a good stock company. Chastened by a sovere experience last season, unfettered for the first timo in his directions, ho will avoid his mistakes of the past, and from what earnost Lo has already given us, we are ready to proclaim that his theatre will be second in point of com- pany, and perfect dotail in presentation, to noither tho Boston Museum, Daly's, the Uoion Square, mor Wallack's. This will be & costly undertaking, but we think Mr. Hooley will be justified init. The first year of his ex- perience as 5 theatrical manager, following the iire, Mr. Hooley's profits were very large. He had a good line of sttractions, and they paid him and the public. He thinks such & policy, liberal mounting, high-salaried urtists, witha firm hand on the lines, will bring snccess. Mr. Hooley sod bis stage-manager will have disadvantage, to contend with. They eannot hope to run plags 100 nights, as Messrs. Daly and Palmer doj; hence they will have to mako mora vigorous ef- forts. Tney will not have the some time to preparc; ~hence they must .wark. harder. They stage-manager of Hooley's will be Mr. Fred Williams, .the present stage-mausger of the Doston Museum. He will_bave absoluto control over the compsny. Ho is & man of experionce, liborality, and bigh aims. The compauyis to be one capsble of playing any of the old English comedies, mod- ern pieces, and, for Saturday eveuings, Shak- spoarean tragedy. It willréquire a.combination of unusuul strength to carry out the programme, but the list of names whicli Mr. Hooley bes already is an oxcollent guarantee. Mir. Williams brings with him bis vife, who is 8aid tobo & piquant sud accomplished sodbreite, good looking, and a vocalizt of no mean calibro. Mr. O'Neil will b leading man; Mr. Mardock, & young actor of great promiso, who can sing a song, and is full of life, will play second parts. The ladies of tho new company have not yet been nngn'i‘od, but wll be strangers, except Mrs. Maeder, than whom there is not a more competent lady in the United States. Fourof the present company will remain,—the best, of courxe ; but wa arc not at liberty to givo their names. The prospect is, therefore, very fair for next season. * Mr. McVioker will keop nearly all hia people. They are all gladto remain, and, a8 they. are working together very uicely, with one or two exceptions, achange wonld not be for the better. Mr. McVicker bas an oxcellent leading lady in Mra. Alles, & very clover character-actor in Mr. What ho needs i8 » first-ciass leading man, a good bheavy man, and & juveuile lady. il tieso additious, ho will have a good company for a star theatre. He has two or threo young ladies of untried strength who aro making progress in their studies, and will soon x} in light spesking parts. Mr. McVicker speaks favorably of their ability. Alr. Gardiner is still reticent. 5 IS8 JANE CO0MDS has finished her eugagement Lere, and, in pre- gonting the round of characters she bas, has do- lighted the loversof true art with her fino im- poreonations. Aliss Coumbs occupies the lofticst place in the dramatic firmament, in tkat she is the_only Living exponent of the masterpicces of the best of dramatic literaturo. She would bo entitled to the place we unbesitatingly givo Lier, were she to play nothing but Lady Teaile. This is, without any question. the most polished, forcible, and artistic repre- sentation of the character on the stage to-day. It deserves to rank with the specialties of Joo Jeflereon and Edwin Booth. In point of fact there is but one Lady Teazle on the stage, and she i8 Jane Coombs. Her assumption fills the ideal completely, utterly blotting ont any other that has beeu proseuted in many years. Toturn from Mirs Coombs to any oiher star in this rolo is to see nothing, so completely does she_dazzle the sight. It 1s & work of art boyond criticiem, the patient claboration of years of study, thought. and judicions applicstion to detail. It would be strange 1f 8o gifted and conscisntious an actress were not capable of rendering o.her parte with great force. Whilo, therefore, ber Lady Teazle msy be regarded as the supreme effort = of _her carcer, her Julia ond Juliel_are studics upon which she could rest her clzims to bo the most finished ac- tress on the stage. Her engagement endcd, Miss Coombs will leave the city for New York, and open a season at the Lycoum, New York. This will be her first appearauce in the Metrop- olis gince her return to the stage, and there can be no doubt that she will excito the same enthu- riasm that ber last engagement there awoke. Aliss Coombs was & greater favorits in Now York than she was in Chicago, if such & thing were possible. EATHERINE ROGERS = Inst_evening plaved Afimi for_tho last time at Hooley's. Theatro. She is an actress of undoubted excollence, =sud = under more auspicions mapsgement than ehe has had would bave taken by storm the the- atre-goers of Chicago, a3 she did those of San Francisco.

When sho comes aguin, &he will probably be recoznized immedintely, She ssils Wednesday for Eusope, with Mr. Boncicanlt, who is managing her buei- ness, and will superintend the production of +Mimi" aod *Led Astray” in England. SOSN 2'CULLOTGH. . It is with a feeling of regret that we am- noance the termination of Mr. McCullough's brief but_briliaut_engagement at -the Acad- emy of Music. He Lus shot like s meteor through the West, waking up the cold aad cntical to »arm:h sna adwiration, presenting novelties of manner and action, & mesmeric -command over Lis andiences, aud'a digmty and simplicity of mettiod as fresh axa fascinating a3 they aro rare.

His Richelleu is too warm and exuberant to compars with the ac- cepted rendering of this sbsurd _personage, being maniy and stefely..

HOOLEY'S THEATRE. Monday ovening Mies Syduey Cowell, the smiable and talonted little eoubratte, who has -ministered 8o kindly and merrily to the fun- loviog patrons of this theatre, willhave a beue- fit. The favorite comedians, Messrs. Giddens and Bishop, will play in theix specinltics. Three elogant comedies will be presonted, and the housoe should be crowded.

TUE GLOLE THEATRE. Tho success of the Lisa Weber Company atthe Globe during the past woek has been marked. The company remains tlus woek, and & hst of novelties promises plenty of varioty for thoss who like this class of entertainment.

'Tho principal featuros of the week are The Border Lily,” which is unqueationably the best burlesque of the ceson, and a new sketch entitled ** Only a Little Cider.” The rest of the programme is good, aud the colored gen- tiemen are prepared to redoom their peper prow- ixes to play. - MONTGOMERY QUELY'S CIRCUS. Since a description of this exccllent show in winter quarters was given in Tue TRIBUNE, Mr. Queon and his 200 assistants bave boen bard at work preparing for the Ssummer campaign. A number of new_arrivals, including the finest specimen of an African lion everseen 1n s travel- .ing show, have been addod, and in this depart- ment the circus will have no rivalin the field. Tt starts out from Ciicago with nearly every material pact new. The canvas is new, the fix- ings are now, the honses—and & spleadid collec- tion of avimals they are—have beon improssed from tha wholo Northwest, and are, therefore, _fresh and in excellent condition.

Want of 8pace alone prevents a moré detsiled notice, for which we refer the reader to our advertising columns, PRIVATE THEATRICALS. The second dramatic eutertainment of Abra- ham Liucolu Ladgs .11 be given this evening at Concordia Hall, on Tweney-sccond street, be- tween Btato street and Wobash avenuo. The drama will be *Don Ceesar de Bazan,” and will be followed by & masquerade ball. e MUSIC. There have been several ovents of more than ordinary interest in the local musical world during the last week. Among these are three which are worthy of more attention than a mere rocord. First, the concert at'the First Baptist Church, nuder the suspices of Mr. C. A. Havens, the organist of that Society. On this occasion Afr. Havens played two arrangements of his own; one on themes from the overtura and third act of ** Tannhauser,” and the other on themes from “Faust.” Mr. Havens has always been rocoguized as a vory eflicient and conscientions organist, and his faithfulness has been specially shown by the long time in which he has kept the organ of this church. On this occasion ke also displayed more than ordinary ability in composi- tion, as applied to organ tranecriptions, showing that he has been giving his time to careful study. We areglad to know that be has out- lined other concerts to succeed this ome, in which bis abilities will be still further displayed, The appointment which Mr. Havens has just re- ceived as teacher of the organ and pizno in the Chicsgo Mausical College is a worthy tribute to 8 most excellent musician. The sec- ond event, which we have intimated above, isthe concert ot tho First Congregational Cburch, which was_given for the purposo of testing the abilities of Mr. H. Clarenco Eddy, with whom the church is negotiating to secure his services as orgamst. The success which Mr. Eddy achieved, and which indeed was & foregone con- clusion with those who knew hin, leaves little room to doubt that the Society will secure him. To doing 60, they will sccure one of tho best or- ganists of his age, Bo far as strict organ music T concerned, in the country. His first teacher was Dudley Buck, with whom be studied very fhoroughly. He then wentto Germany whero o has been studying for two years past, with Haupt, of Berlin. Ho has now returncd to this country with very fluttering credentials from Haupt, Abt, and other musicians. If he ghall decide to come bhere, Chicago will be the gainer in another excellent mu- eician, aod & genuinely good orgau-player Tpon this occasion, Mr. Eddy waa aseisted by. Mrs. T. E. Stacey, the now goprano of the choir, this lady having just resigned licr position in tho Plymoutts Congregational Choir, to tako the present one. Mre, E. O. Seymour, ove of the nost accomplished and effective church singers Chicago s ever had, takes herplacoin the Plym- outh Clioir, Tho thiid event and a sery novel one for Chicago was the prodnction on Friday night, atMcCormick's Hall, tolarge andience, of TUE NEW SYMPHONY, by Mr. 8. G. Pratt, the piavist. We have etyled tiie aymphony now, as this was ite firat perform- ance s & whole, 1t was writicn by the author, . while pursuing hismusical studies in Betln,isad one movement, the adagio, was played 1n public in that citv. Béfore proceeding o pass auy opin- 1on upon it, it will be interesting to musicians to know someching of its construction. It isn't every day & Chicago symphoby can be analyzed. Tle first movement is an Allegro in E minor. The first motive in E minor is given out on the Violins and basses, and quickly replied to by the recds and brasses. ‘The respoosive themo to the first motive is then taken in G major by the strings, and 18 gradually worked up o’ a climax; followed by a cadenza which introduces the sec- ond principal thoagt, also in G. This is of & melodions nature, and 13 passed from the strings to the reeds alternatelr. In bold costrast to this, the next themo i8 ligbt and staccato, and develops 1nte an effeciive fortissimo aod cres- cendo. at the close of which & skort requence briugs out the eecond idea, this time in E fat minor, veried, however, by a solo for horn and baeroon in ‘mpison. After this the trom- bones return to the staccato theme; Doich mises o _tho comets sud then to tho _ strings. ter the scalo passsge introduces an tétion, o rapi ot s L ‘major_by the trom- tuely new theme 0 fwgnes.y This theéme i8 soon abzndoned, and tho iings gy tio nocessories whicl are sllosed e e "o he Tmotemeat 12 sccomplisbed, ending in & creshing fortissimio. Here is repeated agam the first motive in B minor an G minor, while the socond themo oc. cars in E major. The staccato theme also recurs again, but this is suddenly interrupted by the first tempo in G which draws rapidiy to a close in o continual crescendo, ending in E major, In the sccond movoment, an Adagio tn A flat, tho trombones are dispoazed with altogather, the genoral character beiug subdned. The first themo besiuning piano on the violing is ropeat ed by the cullers, while the reeds are brought in and vary the colorng. This theme moaulates into T minor, followed by anoiher theme in the #amo koy. A short recitative then cnsucs and the violins take up o fro:h theme leading to. an inter- mezz0 in O major, in which the theme is equally distributed betwoen the collos and st violios, with sustained accompaniment, and, with the subsequent gir of tho reeds and-basses, ' forms the clunax of tho movement. The remainder of the movement is occupied with the working ap of the firat and second themes, at the cleas of which the strings ascend to high B flatand A flat in o pisuissimo, while the cellos, ascending on ao irregular scalo, fimsh on high C pianis- 8imo, the basscs giving the koy note. The Allegro Fivals isin E minor. It com- mences fortissimo, the strings in triplets follow- ing the first motive. ~ After its second anpounce- ment, an intermezzo is introdaced, leadivg the way to another theme, in which the reeds, and finally the strings, join. Tae sccond motivo 18 in B minor, aud, after beivg very generally dis- tributed through the orcbestra, modulates into G major. A rcturn to the first motive ensues, and after this tho bssses give out another theme auggcn!ed by the first wotive of tho finst Allegro, thio dovolopment of which closes the movement. This 19 tho technical description of the work. Its performance gave gene 1\ satisfaction to the andionce, lthough the orchestra plsred it very indifforently, not only 88 to tempo and.expres- slon, but also 1n reading it, and the yonng com- poser was grected with very hearly ‘applansa when the work was fusuhod. . Wa kraxt; HOWBVET, thas Mr, Pratt hus tho good sense not _to be blinded by this applause, and that it will not lead him into the fatal error of acceptiog such applanso 23 an mdication that he has written a great ssmphony, and thereupon give his time iiereafter to symphonies. That Mr. Pratt has musical ability uo ouo except s very projudiced person will deuy, ead ho may yet accomplish some- hing if those abitities are sct at work tu tho right chaunck. As a siacere wellwisher to Mr. Pratt, nnd a believer in bix honesty of musical purpose, our advice to him is not to ict his ambition run away with him, and now ¢hat ho has produced his eymphony tolay it away and devote himself to Tess pretentious work 1 future. Let him work on 1n a humbler way unti! he. bas something to say, and can say it elearly and to the purpose, It witl be no discredit to Mr. Prattto fail in the symphonic businees. He is young and has plenty oF fime kiskai for. miudty, sad GlbcEAUS TEAY composors buve left scores of symphonics which will nover be heard. Of Mendclasohn's sympho- nies but two aro really liviny,and theso are rarely heard. Of Bchubert’s ninc, one only takes ita place in modern:programmes; aud the world has vet to bo thoroughly interested: in any ono of Schumann'’s, wiile Hadyo’s are almos: a sealed book. Wo believe that Mr. Pratt ha en- ergy and induetry suilicient to make bimsolf known n8 & composer if he ouly directs them _ aright, but the direction does not le towards svmpho- nies. Let him tell his story in humbler aud plainer verse, aud then we can read it without diiculty and enjoy it and_appreoiate it. FPega- sus shotld not take epic flights un:il his wings are grown,—and why take thom atail when thers is o mucli to be done and enjoyed in the lyric world? Let us hava soma little thing doas well, 3Ir. Pratt, rather thun a groat symphony, full of themas and motives restlesaly tloating about and not seltling down to cloar, well-defined re- sult. 3 TITE OLD FOLES CONCERTS. Another and very pleasant feature of tho week s boen the series of coucerts ‘given by Mra: Bernard and her troupe. Theso have already been noticed in deteil in Tue TinoNe, but thero 18 one additional point which may be made. There is littls doubt that the success of rs. Beruard's experiment, take in connec- tion with tho euccess of similar emterprises at the East, shows u new cra of concert busiuess is commencing. The public taste is tending very rapidly towards trios, quartottes and choruy siugiug, rather than the conventioual plan of vocal and instrumental solos which bave formod the staple of concert programmes 80 many years. ‘The soloist will no longer enjoy tho monopoly of progrmunmes. The dsy of the florid Italian aria with its meretricious adorn- mont, is about over, and somethiag more sohd wug ibguImae wiit BpeLt taxe its place. The beat singers on the opetatic stuge, among them Nilason, are rapidly cfl-opping the bravara stvle of singing, and ibe sensaless cadenzas written in to show off the voice, and are getting dowa to honest smging. The trio, quartette and qain- tetto are beginning fo have their day, sud we Lave no doubt that Mrs. Bernard’s experiment wiil very shortly be crowned with success. One of the moit attractive features of the troupe in & popular souse, is tho pisnoforte playing of 3ir. Brown, set down on the programme as “Peregrine Poundkeys.” This geutleman has a quiet fuud of humor and extewporaneous wit, which, frum thoir very dryness, nover fail to convulse an nudience. ~ His doscription of the conservatory which he ostablished at Cairo is worthy of a place by the side of *the best things Artemus Ward Laos ever done, while his piano extravaganzas, and especially h's imitation of the young woman learning {be **siden's Prayer,” are inimitable. It will be a aunouncement that tho troupe refurns the 11th inst., for a week's season. THE APOLLO CLUE.
