THE STAGE. THE DRAMA. THE SUNDAY-AMUSEMENT QUESTION. “The question 33 to the propriety or morality of Sunday amusements begins to attract atten- tlon. The Mayor of Philadelphia has ju§l puta Guiclys upon them in that city, in obedience to 30 act of the Assembly, and, with the excepticn of “sacred™ conceris, Sundsy entertainments are rahivited tn New York., In Cincinnati, St. Louis, and generally in the larger cities of the South and West, Gramatic performauces bave -become a recognized feature of Sun- day recreation. The pulpit, which occa- sionafy fulminates a general denunciation against the drama and the theatre a8 a &evil-born jpstitution, bas been silent on this encrcachment on the day of rest; and the evil (if iz is one) is creeping gradually upon us, and compelling on¢ manager afier another to drop into a custom which, but a few years 2go, was nntversally regarded as raore honored in the breach thap the observance. Chicago bas come to tolerate Sunday per- formeuces, and it does oot seem &t all hkely that =ny effort will be made to put them down. They crept into our midst imperceptibly, sud it {s not improbable that in time every theatre will open :ts doors on Sunday evening. They began with charity benefits, against which, of course, no murmur <ould very well e raiscd, and so, through sacred concerts and the like, slipped pradually into regular busitess. As to the morzlity of the case, we propose to leave that to the preackers, or any wbo choose to tackle the question. There remains a ques- tion of policy which will doubtless appeal more directly to the managersand the working mem- bers of the dramatic profession. The subject is immediately sugzested by the followine para- graph which ppears in the last number of the Dramatic Xews: *When Mr. McVicker asserts,” said Mr. Pal- mer, *“1bat ¥ did not.take the Uvnion Square ‘ompapy to his theatrein Chicago because [ insisted on giving Sunday performances, be tells a willful lie. T am opvosed to Suucay perform- anves. not because { belleve there is auvything wrong in them, but for the resson thap the plays 1 present appeal gencrally to the better of society, and I ive way to their preju- d Several artists of the company objected to playinz on_Sunasy, and 1told them that 1 sespected their ecruples. I think toe theatrical business is better, from every point of view, for 1aking one day’s restiu seven.” - In response to the atove Mr. J. . McVicker indifes the following brief rejoinder: Nir, Palmer of the Vpion Square Theatre, or «ome one clse, places words in Mr. McVicker's mouth which be never uged, and then Mr. P. save Mr. McVicker **tells awiilfu] Jie.” It wonld nave been more_gentiemsnly in Mr. P to first learn if Mr. McVicier ¢id say -* o and s0." Mr. 1'. should practice what be preackea. If be don't helieve 1 Sunasy performances be should not give thea. In tbe course of a conversation on tbis matter Mr. McVicker s2id he regarded the opening of theatres on Sunday 25 a degradation to the drama, because, since the best class of people in the community were averse 10 them, or had not yet been educated *“up™ fo the point of tolerating them, the performances given would necessarily be, as a rule, of a kina that attracted toe lower element of the population. There would be no use in attempting to give 1he bigier order of dramatic performance, be- cause the class of peonle wno wouid enjoy them object to attend theatres on Sunday. * Tev it s cominz to that,” said he, “ and, however much we may dislike i, we managers may sooner or Jater have all 1o open our *shops for gain? on Sunaay evening.” With reference to Mr. Palmer's assumption that he is opposed to Sunday periormances, McVicker asks why, if he Xnew, as hemust bave kpown, that the Union Square Company were coming here topluy in 2 theatre where Sunday performances were a regular featore, and 8 part of the contract, he did not throw up his «nzagement with that particular shop for zain, 2nd engage, as he undoubtedly could have done, wirth a manazer who aid not open on Sunday. “T'his is a question for the manager 1o question 10 suswer or not a5 hechooses. 1t is not, prop- erly speakiog, one for the public to interest 1bemselves apout. s Actors, 25 asule, will be fonnd 1o oppose the growth of this new' feature of tbeir work, and ‘probably if the manazers took a philosophical view of the matter they would discover that tnerc was in reality ro solid ain, The Sunday performunce has been found to kill the business o Saturday and of Monday to a large extent; 50 that, taking the average receipts of a season,— supposing all the theatres competing for tbe Supday patronage,—it is not likely that tne pe- cuntary advaotage will offset the lack of rest re- quired by artists who pretend to make their calling what it should be. Theactors are at the mercy of the mapager in this watter, as was scen in the recent coxazement of tne Union Sqyare Compans herc. Miss Idu Vernon posi- uvely refused to piay on Sunday. and was ex- cused.-- Mrs. Wilkios also objected, but mitdly, =nd was induced to play, and so with Miss Dietz uod Miss Fanny Morant. Sol 8mith Russelt Las conscientipus scruples, and refuses to appear on Sunday, and manv of the best actors, singers, and dancers decline to yio- their onlyday of rest. Buat, as Mr. Me- Vicker says, they will all have togivein their adhesion to the custom, which is surely being estublished fo all the principal citics where the theatrical **sbop for gain » flourishes, The prople must be educated up to the proper standard of propriety in this matter, and per- iaps the preachers imay take a band in it and . uake it lively for the managers before the poiut, ot morality juvoived is settled, LOCAL NOTES.

Irving. Exagreration is the rock on which most actors spiit.” Interpretation and imper- sonation of character are too often made secondary 10 loud utterances and fantustic butfoonery. The eatirery of the unform victure is seldom main- tained. Solloguiea are made into ureat specches, and thinking aloud becomes an oratorical blaze. Mr. Irving makes Hamlet in il casesa guiet, courteous gentieman, carrying a suntile and sorrow- fal character, but nevera furious luuatic, though. a passionate avengerand putlietic lover. In those well-known lines that so well' exhibit the meutal condition of the man and less the pomp of the Prince and commence, **Oh, that this 100, 100 sohid flesh would melt,” Irving renders in a quiet, im- pressive, almost monotone, £o natural, s trie to all surroundings and ciccunistances, that yon sro awazed previous actors have always turned it into a **apeech.” - He rometimes sits down in an abstracted air of melancholy; then gets up in a nervous, restless, emotuny} manner snd waiks about, but no shouts to the galiery or oratorical oratlons 1o **the gods ™ are mumfesicd: It is a peacefn) 1hipking aloud, 2 soliloquy xoft and mivery, no bounce or brass of declasation.

MUSIC. TUE PAST WEEK OPENED AND CLOSED WITH WILHELMI 1N CONCERTS,— first in the very excellent concert given by the Chicazo Orcliestra, under ihe direction of Mr. Rusenbecker, and lnst in the concert given at the Union Park Congregatioual Church yester- day aiternoon: his farewell appearance baviug yet to be made at the Turper Iall concert this afternoon, where he will play the Paganini Con- certo with orchestra. These announcements will explain 1o the New York papers the canse of his uon-uppearsuce at the symphony concert in that city, for which be was sonounced for yesterday, and is a much hetter explanation than that of fliness, which thev unanimously give. The other events of the week have been the musical performances cossequent upon the opening ot the Athenxum Conservatory, which were pleasant as introducing to the public the new. musical director, Dr, Juhus Fuchs, ayd Mme. Koelling, the teacher of vo- cal musie. With such execllent talent atits head,. assoclated with a corps of competent teackers, there should be no reason why the Athenxum Couservatory of Music may not fill a very im portant place and exert a very strong influenge upon the progress of music in this city. The orogramme of the entertainment included the Beethoven overture, ‘*Consceration of the House”; the “Hail Columbia Overture,” by the Misses Cram; and the arias, **I Know that My Redeemer Liveth,” from the * Messiab," and the “Non Midir,”” from “Don Juan,” by AMme. Koelling, with addresses by the Hon. Henry Booth and the Rev. Dr. Thomas. The other event of the week was a disappointment, —the concert announced for Friday evéning at the Plymouth Congregational Church, by the Mrs. H. M. Smith concert company. not coming off, owing to the inability of thbe company to reach the city. ENGLISH OPERA. ‘The present week will be given up to English opera at Hooles’s Theatre by the Hess troupe, headed by Miss Emma Abbott, who upon tbis occasion will make her operatic debut in this citv. Besides Miss Avbott, the troupe includes Mrs. Seguin, Miss Montague, Miss Adelaide Randall, Messrs. Castle, Turner, Ryan, Sezuin, Warren, Tams, and Allison, nearly all of them well known to the patrouns of English opera. Signor Overti retains his place at the head of the orcnestra. ‘The repertoire will be as follows: Monday, “Mignon™; Tuesday, * Fra Diavolo 5 Wednesday matince, Thursday ard Saturday nights, * The Chimes of Normandy ”; Friday, “ Faust 1 s;\tumary matinee, “Maritana.” As the prices are very low, the troupe will undoubt- edly do a mood business, all the more so, as irre- spective of musical merits there will be a very general curiosity to see the little artist, Miss Abboit, in apera. ITALIAN OPERA. h The time is mmdli’ proaching for the debut of Mr. Mapleson’s Italian_opera company Chicago,—an event that will occur on Monday evemng, Jan. 18, at Haverly’s Theatre. ‘Ihe camplete list of the principals of the troupe is as follows: PIINE DONNE SOPRANI ECONTRALTL Mme.

Haverly is putting in new carpets and vushions, and in- tends to renovate the zrand tier or family circle g0 as 1o make it pruportionately = cheer- fal “and atteactive with the rest of the - suditorium, and will aslse carpet aud canopy the approachies to the theatre. In this connection we would suggest to Mr. Haver- 1y.that, as he draws upon a class of patrons who have never been in his house before, he should pay the strietest regard to the cieanliness of s theatre. Fluwers, carpets, and canopies are not the only improvements nceded: What is spe- cially wented is a small arioy of scrub women, who should be given possession of the theatre alf this week, with strict orders to remove the vestiges and souvenirs of nrevious sudieuces, mapy of whom have not been possessed of that attribute which is next to godliness. He will have a class of opera-goers who are not accus- tomed to dirt and unsavory odors, and he should use every endeavor not only to make the thea- tre appear attractive, but to make it pure, sweet, and fresh. ' The sale of scats will commence an Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock, in the lobby of the thea~ tre. THE GRACE CHURCH CONXCERT. A very attractive: concert has been projected under the auspices of Grace Efiscoparcnurdl, ‘which will be given at the Plyinouth Congrega- tional Cburch oo the 15th inst. The programme has not ¥et bien aonounced,.but the names of the performers will iudicate to our readers that a concert of upusual proportions and excel- Jence will result from the cfforts of the mean- agers. * ‘The talent securtd for the concert is as follows: The Adela:de Phillips Company (Marie Stove, soprano; Adelaide Philtipps, alto; Tom Karl, tenor; William Macdonald, basso); the 8t. Ceallia Quartette; Mrs, Clara D, Stacy, so- 3 Mir, FritzFoliz, baritone; Mr. Adolph vach, arganist; William Heory Smith, of Bloomineton, and Mrs..

Silently and stezlthily Dave bewan to with- draw into this gioom, kecoing his body down below the sky-line until the trees and masses of sbrabbery jutervened sufficiently to fully sereen his movements; then, moving more boldly, he ripidly made his way ouce more to the cast fence, where he lound his companion, Y—, al- ready awaiting him. . | s 3Vell, Tom, -this doesn’t look very promis- ing, ehi” * Not very, Doctor. do??

The ringing stecl of the skater to-day flashes over the surface where then, in one rude burial blent, the unfortunate weary of breath, the outcast, the pauper, the no- known, and the failure generally, lay side by side,—eatbered in from voor-house, morgue, ‘and hospital dead-room. Here a long trench was dog, :Ad as each in- stallment of unélaimed bodies was received the rough coffins were laid on its bottom side by side, and the loose sandy soil heaped on them and awainst the outer one of the row, which was then pain opened from the end for the next addition.

Net a word has yet beeh spokens but, as the side of the coflin is exposed, the Doctor stays Y-—"'s band, and in obedieac: to a whispered instruction the Jatter climbs out of the treach and makes acircaic of the ground.
