[EX SUGGESTION OF A SCHOOL FOR SUPERNTMER- ARIES trown out by, Tox TRIBUSE has mot with mcouragement from unexpected quarters. feveral correspondents bave offered valuable mggestions as to the facalty and curricalom of uch an institution, and many others have prom- sed their active sympathy and prayers towards 18 endowment. Oao interested friend proposes ‘hat the educationsl movement ehall not stop xith the supernomerarics. He hopes to see an sfficient clacque ostablished by the same means. The plan would be to have balf-a-dozen street- soys captured overy morning and instrocted shere to applaud and where to keop siloat. They would be wamed to beware of buncombe ind pretty eestirent; to notico the manper of esying & thing almoat 23 much as jhe thing said; snd to concemn oxhibitions 3 the stage gosp end the stage walk as severely a8 the circumstances would per- mit. They won'd not dream, if they were prop- erly tanght, of applauding a man who should pay, in 8 cocversational tone, ‘‘The penia mightier than the sward,” or **In the brightlex-, jcon of youth there is no such word as fail” or « Eind hearts are more than coronets, and sim- ple faith th: low with a chorus of hisses an actor who should take steps a yord long on the way to his dioner or his morning dram ; they would correct, gent~ 1y but firmly, aoy one who should bring his heart upout of bis boots and Jetit down again in order to eay ** Good day, my brave fellow.” A Welldrilled clasque of this _description might serve as ushezs, and be useful in quelling the unseemly turbulence of an audience a8 well 8s in encouraging it at the proper time to pro- longod and uproarious applause. ‘What a terror an educated clacqae would bo to most of the Macduffs on the stage! And how effectually it wwould suppress the Pretry Bobbies, and the Pious Marye, and the Jocund Johnnies, of the modern saciety drams! Creating 8 part would then be romething different from what is now understood by the plrase. CLEATING A PABT is, to be gure, not an easy matter; but neither is it such a terrible affair a6 some of the Eastern pewspapers would havo us blieve. Leading are written to be *‘created,” and if the play in which they appear is at all suc- cessful, the part is created of itself. Per- gons holding the opposites view may declare that the plays wonld not bave becn successfal if the leading parts bad not been, so to speak, ¢ creat- ed.” That dopends. Perhaps there is a good denl of truth on each side of the controversy. Plays may sometimes gain & success by fine act- ing, a8 well 26 actors by fino playa. But there can be no doubt that the debt of actors to the Iaywrights 15, on the whole, hesvier than the cebt of the playwrights 1o the actors. Itis gheer staff and nonsenss to Say, 88 & very in- telligent dramatic critic did recently, that, < when an actor or_actress becames identified with a part, we don't want to see any one else attempt it better.” In a lmited sense, this may be trne of the ephemeral plays which have Do 0l access upon millinery and elapg. It is pot true of good plays. It is less true of **The Two Orphans” than of Col. Bellers,” because the former is s better play than the latter. Itis mot, and never was, at all trus of the plays which have come down to us ug geaerations.

A BCENE, £ Enter L. U. E., preceded by lictors, an angry sitizen : «J have come, sir, to demand justice. Your notice of Lotta iwas, to be brief, scurrilous. What do you mean by your contemptible lan- guage’? It wasinfemous. I desire to appoint 1 private meeting of two at which the difficulty may basettled.

As it 18, you must see that the proposition to fight & duel with the weapons hieed by you in daly practice is highly absurd. Io such & contest it would only be possibls for you to win glory or renown.” LOTTA. The performance of Lotta Monday night, as poticed in Tuz TRISUNE, was one that nobody neod have been 2shamed to enjoy; but there is inaisputable -evidence thatsome persons were ashamed to eujoy it, while others were only too rapturousin their applause. Lotta is really no mctreas at gll, and her play, *3llusette,” as a play, amounts to nothing. The performance is amusing simply because Lotta ie herself a con- ning little woman, who has acquired eome pretty tricks. The love-affair between AMuselte and William A. Bobus, which is tacked on to the Lhy. is peculiarly adapted to her powers; batit an excrescenc o tho play. Both Musette and William A. Bobus could be cut out antirely withot destroying tbe principal wction. The success of the perform- ance 18 duo to a mnomber of cauces, shief among which is the fact that it allowa po- lits society an_opportunity to witness a genuine eariety performance in a_ respectable man- cer. ‘‘Musette.” with Lotts in the title tole, is & variety performance pure sand simple. Itis given with no diereputable sur- roundings, and it possessea some intrinsic xerits, 1n its way, which very properly command public sympathy and enpport. But it cannot se- riously be considered as a dramatic work of auy great pretensions. COL. '8 MTSETM s holding its own bravély, though it has had to sontend with discouragemerts of no common kind. The effects of the terrible failure on the opepiog night were felt for aloug time, and when theee Were eurmounted difficulties of asuother kind arose. The company is not as good =8 it suould be, though it is large, and containg eome talent. As a rule. the plavs are pretty well put on the stage, and are ron smoothly from beginning to end. The principal trouble is with two or three of the actors, whom nature pever intended for the stage. The managere are conscientious and lib- eral, considering the encouragement they receive from the public. Their intention, at the out- est was to make the Museum & ro- gort for the people who will not pa- tronize the regular thestres. sod especially for the suburban population who ars obliged to attend matinee performances, or mone at all. This intention has not been modified, and will B0t be if the people give it their approval ins an Norman blood "; they would fol- it, even thongh they might do lid basis of merit. and which depend for pubstantial maoner. This wi Unole Tom's Cabin " will be_given st the evening ‘perform- snces and at the matinees of Wednesday and Satarday. Charles Wilson will plsy Uncle Tom, Mr, McManus St Clair, Miss Thompson Topsey, aod Miss Hamilon Eva. At the off-day mat nees **The Marble Hesrt™ will be given with Mr, Forsberg as Phidias and Raphael, and Miss May Boberta as Marco. JAMES LEWIS is to appear at McVicker's Theatre this week in «'The Big Bonauza.” Tho play has been judi- ciously caat 1o the strength of the colnpany, bus the performance will not, in all probubility, be anything like a8 rood as the ono given hers in the summer by Mr. Daly's company. Howerer, it may be possible for persons who did not see the play then to gain an eunmi of hearty en- joyment by seeing it now. Mr. Lewis has been plaving several pieces st Clsvelund.-nmonfi others **Our Girls,” which may be an old snd familiar play, or an adaptatioy of Our_ Boye. At any rate, it is designed to catch public atten- tion by the similarity of its title to ihat of the new play. A BENEFIT TO MR REGAMEY. Mr. Felix Regamey, the well-known artist and caricatarist, will have a benefit at the rooms of the Chicago Athenmam, Nos. 63 and 65 Wash- ington street, Fridey evening. He has remarka- ble facility in off-hand drawiog. and prodaces ! sketoties in the presence of an audience with eage and finish. One featnro of his \entertainment is to invite a person in the audienco to mark five points on the board. from which he constructs a picture, 1ntroducing also any subject 'thaz may bo mentioned. +*Fho Torch of Love," & curiond illnstration of the flamo that consutmes all about it. will be representea in a novel asnner.

Both are poets of some ravk and popularity, but the men are in all else utterly unlike. The one would aptly illostrate the ‘unconventional freedom of the West and the other the solid caltare of the East. Josquin Miller's subject ig “Literary London, " whers ho himself o lately figured s tha literary hero. He will make his first appearance hers in this lecture next ‘Tues- day night at Union Park Cbarch. Lr. Holland will mve his new lecturs on ** Hobby-Ridiog,” on Thursday night at the Plymouth Charch. This will be Dr. Holland's only lecturs here this seagon. NoTES. Miss Charlotte Thompson and her dramatic company will appear in “Jsne Eyre” atthe New Chicago Theatre this woek. Their engage- ment will extend over noxt woek, after which, it is understood, tho Kelley & Leon Minstrela will ocoupy the theatre. The Californis Minstrels are etill playing to Isrge audionces at Hoolev's Theatre. The new song and dance men, Jobnson and Bruno, are artists in their line, and they have been very favorably received. RBice and Arlington appear nightly in various thrilling acts. The mansgers of the Adelphi announce for this week the play of * Lispet, or the Brass- ‘bound Box.” If the performance is half as good 88 it promises to be it will be well worth seeing. Mr. M. V. Lingbam, Miss Kate Meek, aod Mr. W.'T. Melville, all actors of considerable expe- rience and reputation, have been specially en- gaged for this performance. The play will be given for the first time Tuesday evening. The most beaatiful fat woman in the world has been engaged for the Museum. Sheis said to be a miracle, & prodigy of fatness, whom to see is to admire. The Miltonian Tableaux will be given at the Musenm this afternoon and even- ing. The pictures are strictly moral and appro- priate for the Sabbath. Hell, Satan, and other curiosities are depicted in vivid colors. Young gontlemen who have been ont late at night, and Shose systems are too much unstrung to bear the strain of#he Sundsy lecture, might profitably look in and see the Devil at the Museum. g THE OUTER WORLD. REAPPEARANCE OF EDWIN BOOTH. It han been said that Mr. Booth played. Hamle! at Daiy's Fifth Avenus Theatre last Monday night as he never played it before. Onseof his arms bung lifeless by his side, but what there was of him was mors to the purpose than the whole of apy other man now on the dramatic stage. The New York Tribune notices the per- formance in terms of the highest commendation. 1t characterizes Mr. Booth’s Hamlet a8 poetic and epiritual, and, therefore. & clcse approzima- tion of the ideal. Mr. Booth, indeed, since his recent misfortunes and sufferings, may be bet- ter qualified to represent the sad-eyed Prince of Denmark than ever before. The Herald finds that his performance is remarkably unequal,— that at times it is purely mechanical, while at others it is full of fesliog. The Torld asserts that Mr. Booth fills the popu- lar ideal of Hamlet, and that his representation of it is equable and_satisfactory: but it believes his Jago outranks all the other impersonatioos which the eminent tragedian has given ns. The divergence of these criticisms suggests that some or all of them are incorrect and fanciful. It is trae, indeed, that most theories of Hamlef, 20d what should be required of an _actor who undertakes the part, are faulty, and the main reason is that the theories are narrow. Hamiet wasdrawn with & free hand by Shakspeare. More than one theory of the character can be urged with much show of reagon, whilo not one perfectly consistent theory can be advanced. By tho way, it is worth noticiog that the mana- gers of Daly's Theatra in their cbrious devotion to art have been convicted of an anachronism. They aunounced thatthe play would be given without velvet, s material which was not used in Hamlet's day. One of the critics points out that nobody can tell when Hamlel's day was, and that, at any rate, historical accuracy is much less desirable in & representation of Hamlet, who is & charzcter belonging to all time, than in or- dinary plays. Moreover, the anachronism is roserved, for Mr. Booth, who dresacs in serge and woolen and silk, talks the peychiology of the sisteenth century, and fights with the French rapier of the seventoenth. GENEVIEVE WARD. Migs Geneovieve Ward, or her agents, aro creating a very unfavorable impression of her dramatic sbilities by the system of prelimi- pary pufing which they have seen fit Lo adopt. The offices of the leading newspapersin America have been flooded with extracts from compli- mentary notices of Miss Ward ; and Eate Fleldal- 20 hasbeen induced to open her batteries upon the common foe. 3isa Ward may have talent—she certainly bas made in England the success which was denied her in America—but she must come again before American audiences depending sole- 1y on her merits. Provincialjnewspapers in Scot- land are no great snthority in matters of this kind. As an American, and one whose industry sud perseverance have been amply proved, Miss Ward may be sure of an_sntecedent impression 1n her favor ; with this she should rest content until she has established her title to higher distinction. NOTES. Lydia Thompson will resch New York from Earope about Nov. 22. Bon De Bar, of 5t. Louis, has offered to give a penefit for the Centennial fund. Maage Robertson, sister of the lamented play- wright, is coming to Amezica next year. Joseph vefferson is to make his reappearance at the Roya!

The Home Journal has been informea that Signor Roesi offered Mr. Maurice Grau a good, round sum fo aunul the contract. but this Grau woald not listen to. Itisalso said that Salvini wasnob pacisficd with his success here, and persuaded his *friend aud fellow-student™ not to come to America.

The only musical event of last week was the pleasant reunion of the Beethoven Soociety at their rooms on Friday evening, which opened the sea~ gon of this society. As these reunions are not in the nature of sat concerts, but are rather in- tended as social and musical occasions, there is no need of criticism. At the same time, there were somo festures worthy of notice. The instrumental numbers wero the Rubinstein Sonata in D major for piano aod *cello (Wolfsohn and Eichheim), an elephantine waltz from Von Bulow's *‘Carnival in Milan,” Wieniawski's « Legonde " for violin, arranged for'cello (Eich- heim), sud Schuman’s msgnificent Quatnor for pisno and string instruments, which was very finely given by Messrs. Wolfaobn, Leowis, Allen, and Eichheim. The vocal numbers wers Beopet's canzonet, ‘‘In Radiant TLove- liness,” supg by Mr. E. Dexter, who made his debut on this occasion, and who possesses a very clear, pure, and ringing tenor Voice, which gives promise of good work in the fotare; Raff's *Seremade” and * Swedish Song,” sung by Mrs,W. 8.Watrous with 80 much vigor and dramatic expression as to call out the most enthusisstic applanse ; and Abt's ** Blum- Jein sna Haag,” with horn obligato, by Miss Lizzie Hoyne and Mr. LeMoyne, which esn hardly be said to bave added much tothe at- tractiveness of the entertainment.

The cast of the prosent opers, excel- lentas it is in itself, is materially strengthenod bythe engagement of Mlle. Aooa Rosetti, of New York, for the part of Mrs. Ford. This part is musically and histrionically go arduous and exacting that tho talent of an amatour was considered insufficient to do full justice to the character. Mile. Rosotti has won a lhost of friends in New York, has repeatedly sung in concerta of the Arion Socioty, and is engaged 1 connection with Thomas’ orchestra, Bischof, and Roemmertz to sing somo of the grand scones from Wagner's new operas during the present geason. Alss Kate Wordragen. who takes the charactor of Mrs. Page, was favorably known 28 » contraltoin this city in former years. Mrs. Dony, Anna Page, iscomparatively a new- comer, butis etresdy well accredited as a high goprano of unusnal sweetness and purity. Mr. Koch, Falstaff, needs hardly any epecial recom- mendation.

The Now York Tribuneeays: ** At the head of a regiment—where alone = military band ought to be—Ar. Gilmore’s musicians would be entiraly accoptabls ; in the coacers-room, at- tempting the work of an orchestra, they invite a criticism which they are unablo td withstand. There are many people nevertheless who love an abundance of trumpets and saxophones, and Gilmorc's band will therefore always be sure of admiring listeners. The conductor is a man of ability ; if he would only ayoid work for which the material at_his command is not adapted, he might accomplish something creditable to the country.” The Cincinuati Gazeite saysof the last Thomas concert in thatcity : *‘The feature of the even- ing concert was the first performance in_this country of Listz's noweat cantata, * Tho Bells of Strasourg Cathedral,” an_incomprehensible and indigostiblo piece of music on_its first hear- ing as could well be imagined. So far aa the public in general is concerned, its merits we fonr will forever be o mystery. All ita wonaerful en- harmonio modalations, it awful orchestral ef- fects, and its terror-inspiring vocal strains do pothing but pain an sudience as audiences are nomadays. How everybody did pity poor Mr. Piket, who shrieked out those awful notes pat in the mouth of Lucifer at the imminent poril of bursting his throat!
