To Chicago, and though the public of thia city may fecl a little piqued st finding greater cars taken in the selection of people for a California ven- ture, it must bear in mind that the preseat’is & dubious enterprise, xnd needs all the talent that can be procured. Of those who ars going away, several have becom established favorites in the city. MB. JAMYS O'NEIL, the leading men, hss identuned ‘himeelf with Chicago. The past three seasons be has been here he has stodied his art and improved rapid- 1y, until he enjoys the distinction af being one of the best leading men in the United States. He ‘'has justified the belief of his friends that he would show marked progress at the end of the neason, and has disappointed those who antici- pated deterioration from ‘his playing almost ex- clusively 1n modern pieces. He has won warm personal friends a8 well a5 Tearty professional admirors, and thers are thonsands of people in Chicago who ‘will learn of his future triumphs with & fesling of brotherly pride. Perhaps be- fore he appesrs in Chicago again ho 1 have ‘become s star, for the Pacific Cosst is very po- tent in developing youthful genins. The Cali- fornians have a wav of disoerning merit ond en- couraging it, just aa they have of discoyering & fraud and squelching it. P 301 CRANE, TIIE COMEDIAX, will be greatly missed. It is not Tecorded in the annals of Chicago thestricals that sny comedian ever came hers and in lees than one season es- tablished himself a8 an indispensable home in- stitution, but Mr. Crane has done thatin the face of odds. There was but ono comedian pessible when Craoo came, and he was Dillon. WWhat was mot Dillon was nothing. Crans ‘dropoed a8 neturally into John's place os thoogh John himself had gone back ten years of his life, bad mever disappoated an sudience; and had been careful of his treatment of the public. It was his first season in legitimate low comedy, and he was not fally aware of his own str Coming fresh from & burlesque company, he vras little dubious of his acceptability, bat his first week at Hooley's settled his status. and he became a strong favorite at onco. Ho will withe out doubt establish himself in San Francisco with equa! readiness and steadfastness. MB. BUCKLEY is perkaps better known in San Francisco $han in Ohicago. He was pot originally included in the company, but changed places with Hary Murdoch at the time of that gentleman's leaving Hooley's. Ar. Buckley has msade good use of his time in Chi:r:go, and has shown limself & capable acior, has played some parts ad- mirably. MI3 HAWTHORNE, who has been and will remain leading lady of the company, is & carcful actrese, whose strength lies rather in sitnations of decp pathetio inter- est than in lighter scenes of comedy, although £he has displayed qualities which fit her for light comedy vers well. There are other members of the company whom it ia not nocessary to partica- larize, even if we had spaco to give them each & parting word. 2. HOOLEY alone remains to be mentioned a8 the head and front of the undertaking. He is likely tore- tarn soon, snd it 18 not & loog farowell in bLis case. He lesves behind him many friends. who fally spprociate the buoyaacy and generous im- pulsiveness of bis nature, and who will romem- ber that, even if his past scadon has not been s decided success, it was owing to_circumstances beyond his immediats control. He acted for the best, and if the results obtained heve not been altogether satisfactory he was the principal suf- im and to_the members of his old compsny who go to California, the resder will Soin with us in wishivg sll tho prosperiiy they can hope for in their Western ventore. A NEW DEAL Mr. MoVicker's sudden capture of the Grand Opers-House settles the questior sa to where the stock company of next season will play. As announced in THE TRICUNE yesterday, he has msde no definite arrangements, but with one star theatrs ou his hands he will probably sup- plement that underteking with s first-closs stock company. It must be borne inmind by those wkaq are apt to smile at tho stock company now and for some years past engaged at McVicker's Theatre o support stars that Mr. McVicker is a man with theories of his own. One of these is that the excellence of a stock company in = star theatre is a secondary eonsideration. People only go to sea a star, and, as parts are cut down in modern plays aud modern versions of old plays to throw the star into prominence, auy- thing passably good will do. In selectings com- panyto play without the sssistance of a star, greater pains will doubtless be taken to secure 00d actors. That there will be noneof the jaxity of management which has been observed in other stock theatres may well be imagined. The disposal of this house to Mr. McVicker leaves three other theatres whoss fates aro not yet generally known. Perbaps it may be inter- aating vo the Teader to_ learn that they will slso underko s ehange, and one of a very decided character. THE ACADEMY. The Academy of Music will cease to bs man- sgedin exactly the ssme woy tuat it has been during the season. The brilliant gathering of Western managers st Gardiner's benefit & week sgo was not without its nitimateobject. A com- binstion was then formed, into which the Acad- emy of Musio was promptly admitted. The com- bination a8 yet includes s new theawre to be built this sosson in Detroit, which will be managed by the celebrated Thomas Davey ; a new thestre in Indisnapolis, which will bo managed by William Leake of the Indianapolis Academy of Music; the Chicago Academy of Musio, and probably the Grana Opers-House, Cincinpati; the Olympic, St, Lonis; and the Memphis Opera-House. The ecombinntion will be -run by BAlesars. Davey snd Leaks, acd the caterprise is 80 novel that it deserves explanation. There will be gome twenty-six combinations on the road next seagon, many of - the leading stars in the pro- fession, like Edwin_Adams sud Lawrence gu\- rett, having decided to take their support with them. Managers of star theatres begin to realize that a stock compapy will for more than ‘alf the season be an incumbrance, and a eon- soquent loss of money. ‘The combination of Western managers will therefore consolidte their companies and select one really good ons from the mass of materal distributed among their theatres, This company will sppesr s: ench of the five theatres in turn, and either support & star who is travel- ing alone, or play withont one. This arrange- ment has advantages for both managers and pa- trops. The former find it economical; the It~ ter will be guaranteed continual change of faces, and will not tire of the stock company. ‘It is & Dovel arrangement, worthy of Weatern ingenuity, and the only way out of the difficulty cansed by the return to traveling companies. The combinations which will travel .in the United States next scason are these, as far as heard from : : Two ** Fifth Avenue * parties, nn- der Farbish; Edwin Adams, Lawrenco Barrett, Mrs. Chanfrau, Fraok Chaofrau, W. H. Leake, Charlotte Thompson, Joo Murphy, E. L. Daven~ port, Frank Mayo, Fox, with *‘Humpty Dump- £, "Tony Denier, Aimea _(opéra bouffo), Lydia Thompson, *The Twelve Tamptations,” Jobn T. ngnond. ‘Mrs, Lender, The Wallace Sistars, 7. H. Stoddsrd, Frank Maon, Wilson and Mitch- ell, * Tho Two Orphans,” Eliza Wethersby, and probably Lotta. GBAND OPERA-HOUSE. The Grand Opera-House being closed for the present, thoZcompany is broken up. Cal Wag- ner starts for Syracuse to organize his scattered minstrel company. The orchestrs, with Fred- ericks, goes over to Hooley's, and becomes a part of Emerson's organization. Kavne is unde- cided, and, with Burridge, will await develop- ments, Hall finds an openiog in Cincinoa! Norton goes with Cal Wagner, and_the other people are otherwise provided for. Mr. Warren will donbtleas accept an offer mads by Messra. Hess & Castle, and accompnny the latter's En- glish opers company to San Francisco. That city seems to be & rallying poins for the ansuing season, HOOLEY'S THEATRE. The fate of Hooley's is not quite settled for next ese.mon. A scheme has already been deter- mined apon, but as it may be modified by the resalt of the California expedition, perhaps the less said about it the better. Maguire will play there until he thinks fit to move out his minstrel company, which he may do in four weels. The Union Square party will play “Tha Two Or- phaus ” for four weeks, commencing Jaly 5, and ]:{1:: °f:'ollown then it is not mecessary to specu- The Museum still remains vacant. Perhaps sonie good burnt-cork compsny will be putin possession of the kouse aud revive is faded glones. FIERSON'S MINSTRELS. This combination, which, under the manage- ment of Thomss Maguire, opens ils season aé Tooley’s Theatre to-morrow night; is ungues- tionably the strongest in the Usited States.. The atists who composa it are well known to Chisago. The comedians, Emerson; Cotton, Billy Arling- ton, and Billy Rice, copstitute the strougest ar- ray of minstrel talent npon .the stage in many yeara, It is & queation whother Emerson is not the beat negro-minstrel in_the country, and the party with him certainly is worthy 0f sharing the honors. John Kemble svd ‘Little Mao 2re in their respective departments equally ex- celleat, Tho vocalists are all more or Ieas well known, aud the orcheatrs composed of ariiats who have alroady made their mark. A NEW COMPANY. 3r. Balsbury, the heavy man of Hooley’s, has organized & company to travel in the provinces, consisting of himself, John Webster, Nollis McHenry, and others. Thoy will sivg. light burlesque operss -and plsy farces and light comedies; ‘They open to-morrow evening st ths Adelphi.- whers they plsy one weok, aud then Btart out on their summer travels. 5 RISTORL The pro-eminent tragedienne Adelaids Ristori, who has been ‘memorably welcomed m every capital of Europe and America, is now makinga farewall tour of the world, prior to abdicating s throne on which she has reigned for manyyears the nnchuflot:g‘o: Quéen of Art. The extraos success attending Madame Ristori's visits to this country forms one of the brightest caapters in tho story of her brillisnt career, and rightly appreciating the cordial sen- timonts of the American public towards_her, sho lins, of course, includod the United States in the programme ~of ‘her fsrewell enfngamanla. The Ristori season in this city will commence at McVicker's Theatre on Monday Doxt, May 10, and will continue for five nights and one matinee. - During the season, Madamo Ristori wiil appear for the first time in Chicago a8 AMarie Anloinetle avd Lucretia Borgia, snd will also enact in English the famons sleop- walidng sceno from *Macbeth.” The present Ristori Dramatis Company is ‘the most perfect with which tho renownod tragedienne has ever been associated; and among the artists will be found seversl of European celebrity. The pro- duction of Mme. Ristori's dramas will be identi- cal 1n mise en ecene as in cast of characters, and the land of ths rising snd the setting sun will witness performances as complete as those which bave tecently excited traosatlantic ad- mication. The enormons outiay required for Dictorisl, mechinical, and minor proportios, com- bined with the difficulties of transporting from Contivent to Continent there vast accessories, would daunt any one but Adelaido Ristori, whoso courags is comparable only to hor genius. ‘Apropos of Bisteri, the following from the San Francisco Figero is news: *“In Chicago the furore oreated by the trazedy queen was somo- thing unprecedsnted. We have 1t from a relia~ ble eyo-witness that those turned away from the doors were to bo counted by the thousands. ‘What the excitement will be here nous verrons.” 118 DIFFERENT HAMLETS. Mr. W. S.
