M'VICKER'S THEATRE opened Monday evening, Aug. 21, with “The Three Guardsmen,” which served to introduce the new members of the company—Messrs. Thorne, Lee, Rowe, Hotto, Miss Tracy, and Mrs. Baker—to the public. This ‘programme was preserved one week, and was followed (Aug. 23) by Charles Barry as Gen. Washington in The Spy,” which beld the boards for two weeks, al- though it obtained no praise from any quarter, except for the besutiful scenery it employed. From this point the scason may be summed up riefly thus: Sept. 11, Joln T. Raymond in “Col.

KEW CHICAGO THEATRE. The season at this theatre began Aug. 7, when Hooley’s Minstrels again sought to establish themselves here. They retired from -the field vanquished Saturday, Nov.25. Monday, Nov. 27, Pat Rooney opencd with his novelty troupe, and remained one weck; the troupe con- tinued without him until Thursday, Dee.7,when the theatre suddenly closed. It did not reopen until the 25th, when Haverly’s company of Hibernian artists were seen; they dissolved after an expericnce of two weeks. * Jan. 9 and 10, two representationsof **Clouds” were given by the amateur company known as the Players. Jan. 15, Simmons & Slocum’s Minstrels filled an engagement of one week. Jan. 22, Caze- neuve, the magician, opened; heremained three weeks. Feb. 12 and 13, the Players represented “8chool,” for the benefit of the Women's and Children’s Hospital. The theatre remained closed from that timne until April 2, when it was reopenced by Emerson’s Minstrels. They soon changed fnto Rice’s Minstrels, and retained possession _of the house until May 5, since which time it has been closed. Tne curse was plainly on this house. No sort of entertainment succeeded in it during the year. Mr. Wurster’s German compauy gave excellent performances fnit every Sunday night, but to no avail. WOOD’S MUSEUM opened for the scason Saturday, Sept. 2, with a new company, attempting ¢ The Rivals,” a play 50 manifestly above the abilities of the actors that the failure of the enterprise was foreor- dained from the start. Hight & Rogers were the-original managers, but they soon gave way to others, and the changes in management be- came - ridiculously frequent. Subsequent pro- ductions here were “Poor and Proud of Chi- cago,” “Suow Bird,” and *“Nan, the Good for Nothing,” ~ Sept. 1n; “Zoe,? Seot. 18; *Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ Sept. 9253 “Two Orphans,” Oct. 2 (two weeks); Imogen in *‘ Sunlight,” Oct. 17; Frank Jones'in “The Black ITand,” Oct.23; Ten Nights in a Bar-Room,” Oct. 80; **Led Astray,” and ** Ambrose Gwinctt,” Nov. 5; ** A Case for Divorce,” Nov. 13 (three weeks); ** A wite's Revenge,”” Dec. 4: the Georgia sfavc-’l‘m\l e, Dec. 77 % The Colleen Bawn,” Dec. 113 * Kob Roy,” Dec, 18: “‘ Kathleen Mavourneen,” Dec. 257 * The Blacksmitl,* with Millic Sackett and Maurice Pike, Jan. 1; * Karl Stein,” Jan. 8; Jan. 15, closed in conscquence of the snow- storm; Jan. 18, “ The Inshavozue,” with R. Pope Cook; Jan. 22, the Liliputian Comic Opera Company; Jan. 29, “Lady Audley’s Secret,” and * The Irish Doctor.” The theatre closed’ Feb. 3, owinrto total failure of the managers to pay_ their bills. Feb. 12, it re- opened with “ Under the Gaslight;” Feb, 19, * Fanchon.” - Feb. 24 it again closed and dia not reopen until March 19, when Ben Cotton re- chiristened it asa novelty theatre, and kept it running until May 20. THE ADELPAI scason began July 29 with a variety perform- ance. - It ran with attractions of this sort, living statuary, ete., until Sept. 25, when * The Black Crook” was produced, and, notwith- standing its meagre appoiutments, had a pros- perous season of two weeks. There was then a return to Bowery sensations, farces, variety acts, etc., until Sunday, Nov. 5, when ** Humpty Dumpty” was produced. Monday, Nov. 25, ihe Kiralfy combination played * Around the World,” and kept the boards” two weeks. - Dee. 4 they produced * Paola, or the Lucky Star,” and it was not so successful. ** Jack and the Beanstalk ? was the Christmas pantomime; it beld the stage two weeks. Jan. 22 bLegan the engaggment of Rollin Howard and Nellie Lar- belle in a burlesque. Jan 39 ¢ Uncle Tom’s Cabin was produced in fine style, with Rollin Howard as Zopsy. Feb. 5 the bur- lesque of ** Lurline " was given. May 13, the theatre passed into the sole charge of J. H. Haverly, and, after remaining closed one week for repairs, it reopened with Haverly’s Min- strels, who are now filling an engazement. SPECIAL PERFORMANCES of interest are a number of benefits given dur- ing the year past. June 10, Mr. R. M. Hooley Lad a substantial benefit at McVicker’s Theatre, Cranc, O'Neil, and Louisc Hawthorne appear- ing. The billin the afternoon embraced “Dora and “ Jeony Lind 5 in the evening the sereen- scene from the * School for Scandal,” * Jenny Liud,” the fourth act of * Richelicu,” and the fireh act of ** Richard ILL” (burlesqued). The attendance on both occasions was larse, June 16, Craune and O'Neil had a benefit, when * The Lady of Lyons» and *Jenny Lind» were presented, and Pat Rooney appeared in some of Lis characteristic acts. Sunday afternoon and evening, Sept. 3, Leonard Grover bad an im- mense benelit at the Adelphi; the audience at night was one of the largest ever gathered in a Chicago theatre. Saturday, March'17, Mr. E. F. Thorne, leading man of McVicker's company, had a double Lenelit. In the afternoon * Da- mon and Pythias ™ was given, with Mr. John McCullough as Damor aud Mr. Thorne as Lythias. This was followed by *Brack-Eyed Susan,” in which Mr. Thorne appeared as Wilt- iam. In the evening the beneficiary was seen again as Willium and as Don Cesar de Bazan. Thursday night, April 5, Mrs. Frank Murdoch had a benefit, appearing as Thez and Murie in “The Marble Heurt.” Laura Don was the Aarco of the occasion and E. F. Thorne the Lhidias. Thursday, April 12, a benefit was ac- corded Mr. Will E. Chapman, when the bene- ficiary and Mrs. Dainty appeared in “The Dumb Belle,” aud Robert McWade in “Rip Van Winkle.” NEW PLAYS. ‘The Tist of new plays is not long or imposing. Most of. them are translations or adaptions. “Rose Michel,” produced by Rose Eytinge May 29, had a genuine success. ‘ Ferreol,” brought out by the Union Square company June’ 19, was ot highly esteemed, and was withdrawn at the expiration of a week. Con- science,” brought out by the same company, Julx 10, was crude and weak. *The Two Mcn of Sandy Bar?" (one_of the fow original picees) was sceu July 17, and had _only a vartial populsr suceess. “Our Boarding- House” "saw the light first Aug. 15; it was highly praised by the newspapers, but hiad 1o Suctess. with the public, wasting The stamp of New York amevn], ‘which it has since obtained. ~ “The Spy * (Aug. 25), Mr. Charles” Barry’s production, was a_failure, us was also Mr. George Faweett Rowe’s % Brass ” (Oct. 3), a remarkably silly picce, Mr. Joseph Murphy's “Kerry Gow ” (Oct. 16) was a specimen of the horseshoe drama of no particular merit. “The Great Divorce Case’” (Nov. 21) was a broad and amusing farce of guestionable moral and no dramatic merit. “Paola’ (Dec. 5) was a ridic- ulous spectacle. “ The Law of the Land * (Jan. 1) was a heavy and unactable melodrama, A lornet’s Nest ' (Jan. 4) wasa comedy of rath- er loose construction. “Life " (Jun, 23} was another and inferior version of ¢ The Great Divorce Case.” ‘¢ Migmon ! (Jan. 20) was a playof some merit, and succeeded well financially. “ Becky Mix " (Feb, 16) was a failure. * The Crabbed Age™ (Feb. 9) was an- other faflure. * Maud Muller (Feb. 26) had 2 partial success with the public, but none at all Wwith the newspapers. . * Lemons® ;Murch 5) Wwas one of the most successful lays of the sca- son. It was tramslated from 'tfle German, and was represented in Chicago. altogether fome twenty times. The * Evangeline” burlesque (March 5) was stupid beyond description. “The Shaughraun” (March 19) was much eajoyed by all who witnessed it. = * Forbidden Fruit (March 19) was another amusing adapta- tion of * The Great DivorceCase.” * Miss Mul- ton?' (March 26) wasalachrymose piece, needing a better actress than. Miss “Thompson 'to show it to advantage. ¢ Blue Glass ¥ (_ pril 6) was a translation from the German of no particular merit. ‘Sweethearts” and * Tom Cobb (May ¥) were much admired, the first in particular baving merit. STANDARD AND PAVORITE PLAYS. A review of the season shows that Shak- speare has been as well treated as ‘could be ex- ‘pected, In view of the business depression. The number of represeutatious given to each play was: “Romeo and Juliet,” eleven; *Co- ‘riolanus,” geven; “As You Like It four; “Twelfth Night,” four; “Othello,” two; “Macbeth,” ~three; “Richard III.‘:” one; total- thirty-two,. as i total of tnrutf-cizhyz regnresenhfuogxngl{l?g n:‘;‘:i':m: £eason. Bulwer was honored by four represen- tations of “The Lidy of Lyons” and one of “Richelicu,” #TheStranger was given twice. “The Rivals” had ten performances, but all rolled into one would not have done the-piece justice, or been nnyshing‘obu: an insult to 'tho memory of Sheridan. berhsnn,“i( he_were living, might rejoice to hear that *David Gar- rick ” was played three times; Shiel could boast of five performances of “Evadne,” *Mucuhe- Bellinghousen » could take gratification in the fact that “Ingomar” was four times scen; Dean Milman would have been nbliged to, rost content with one performance of * Fazio, but it wasa verygood one. * Mary Stuart ”’ was played twice, * Deborah” twice, *The Hunchback once, and “ Camille” once. 8o much for plays that have attainea age enough to_be considered standard. Among the more ephemeral produc- tions, “Rose Miclel '’ had fourteen representa- tions; * The Two Orphans " about twenty-eight; “Col. Sellers,” fourteen; *Brass,” luu;lecr’z, (very brassy they were, tool); “Kerry Gow,' lourteen; ““Two Men of Sandy Bar,’ fourtecny “Mignon,” twelve; “Lemons,” tweutys “Mis,s Multon,” thirteen; and *The Shaughraun,” fourtcen. It is o pleasure to record that the bad picees in the above list were run to losing business, the sccond -week in nearly every in- stance being a dead loss. NEWACTORS. McVicker's company presented us with Mr. Thorne, a good 'light comedian, who did fine service as Alercutio, Jago, and I’ Artagnan, but injured the company by * guying " on thestage, and spreading disorganization through his in- subordination. Miss Tracy, the leading lady, soon had trouble. with the stage-manager, and Ieft the company, to the great relief of the community. She was chiefly remarkable for wearing dresses cat very low in the neck. Miss Don succceded her. S)im is_a clever actress, but not strongz enough for heavy parts. Her best work was scen as Jathiide in_“ Led Astray,” and her worst as Aldabella in *Fazio.” Mr. Hotto, the new low-comedian, proved to be a fulth[ul actor, but 8 bad onme. Mr. Harry Lee turns out to be a good and promising juvenile man, often overweighted, but ambitious, conscientious, and respectable. His best work was seen as Volage in *The Mar- ble Heart,” Bartolo in * Fazio,” and Modus in “The Hunchback;” his worst in _Wacduf and Armand. ‘The company. has developed two novices during the season,—Mr. Mark Smithand Miss Cora Tanner. Amoug the new stars un- questionubly the most promising were Miss Mary Anderson and Miss ‘Effie Ellster. Miss Louise Pomeroy had no success. Genevieve Rogers can hardly be called uew, since she has grown up in Chicago. Rose Eytinge is a decided acquisition to the acquaintance of Chicago play- goers. Miss Lettie Allen was o mere girl, and ignorant of the first rudiments of the art she presumed to represent. TOE EVENTS OF THE SEASON may be summed up as, fIrst in fmportance, the oroduction of * Twellth Night * ‘at Haverly’s Theatre by Adelaide Neilson; second, the debut of Mary Anderson; third, the engagement of Madame Janauschek; fourth, the production of *Coriolanus” at MeVicker’s Theatre; fifth, the production of “Tne Shaughraun,” and the reappeurance of Dion Boucicuult; sixth, the en- gagement of Mr. Sothern.

TOE MUBICAL SEASON rupldly draws to its close. The society leaders, . their players and their singers, are looking for- ward to summer vacations. The choir singers are anxiously inquiring when the churches wilt close. Except the Apollo Glub: Festival, there is little to look forward to. Last week we had .the Beethoven Society, the gentlemen as bold nunters and the ladies as charming water- sprites, in the “Fair Melusina,” Hoffmann’s dainty tone:picture, & 2omplete notice of which has already appeared in these columns. There have also been some pleasant Sunday-school children’s concerts, under the leadership of Mr. 0. H. Merwin, assisted by the Bliss Memorial Choir and Mrs. Emma Thurston, Miss Alice Lansden, Miss Lizzie Foresman, Mr. E. Dexter, and Mr. C. 8. Lee. With the exception of quartet numbers by the grown-up children, the programme was wholly composed- of Sunday- school musie, most excellently given. On Sat- urday night there was an Old Settlers’ Concert at the Exposition Building, in whicha bandof 100 players was led by Mr. Hand. On Tuesday evening of this week the Choral Union will per- form Sullivan’s oratorio of the * Prodigal Son ™ at the Union Park Church, with Mrs. C. D. Stacy, Mjgs Rommeiss, Mr. Schultze, and Mr. Bowen ‘,35 the solos, and then we pass to the grand APOLLO CLUB FESTIVAL, which occurs at the Tabernacle June 5, 6, and 7. ‘The season sale .which commenced on Friday last has been very large, unprecedentedly so, but there are plenty of zood seats left. The season sale will continue until Tuesdsy evening, and the sale for single performances will begin Wednesday morningz. Of course, so far as so- lists and nccompaniment are concerned, there need be no apprehension felt, and those who have heard the rehearsals of the superb chorus will feel no anxiety about their part of the work. We have no hesitation in saying before- hand that it will be an immense success. As the programmes have been lately revised, we now present them complete, with the exue;i‘tmn of Miss Cary’s aria In the secoud concert.
