To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. G0, Nov. 13.—A few remarks in your last Amsteur Opera~-The Rive-King Troupes— The Coming Saengerfest. Biret’s New Orchestra Suite ‘ Roma”— Local Notes. Jast Thursday evening Mr. Frederick Bosco- {ir gave the first of his series of two pianoforte recitals. Owing to alterutions uow in progress atHersbey Music-Buil the recital took place at the First Methodist Episcopal Church. The pro- gram Was 4 long and trying one for any piunist, snd to say that it was splendidly played is to ac- eord Mr. Boscovitz the bighest praise. It opened with the Grieg Concerto, one of the most inter- esting works of the modern school, exceedingly dificult ‘technically and extremély poetic throughout its entire length. The contrasts of Sundi edition regarding the June musica! festival seem to justify t oldness of some of the American singing societies towards the fes- tivalon xecount of its being distinctively Ger- man. Ts the introducing of the qué sion of tionality fn this instance not unfortunate’ sical urt is cosmopolitan in_its chars 4 should not muke the least difference to whut na- uontity the performers belong, provided the performance is actistieally good.” Besides this, German should be the inst objection raised against n musical festival, since almost atl the selections and the entire orchestra bave to be German, - The zrand mixed choruses on this oc- casion were to be performed in English, and tho only, distinctive feature of the fesilval In ques tion will be the introduction of the magsive male choruses, which will certainly make the festival more attractive, since such choruses ennnot be beard on any other occasion. Mr. Balutka and the Central Committee endeavored to afford to the singers of Chicao an opportunity to unite their strength for one common effort under the most hberal conditions, ‘The material thus united might have been made useful for future occasions and festivals, but it would seem that raising the issue of ‘nationality in musical mut- a3 -which proved so successful that there is ‘a uni- light and shade ure bold but always pleasing, 4nd prove the author's possession of a thorough knowledge of piano effects, ag well asa vivid {magination and appreciation of the beautiful. Especially delicate was the Adagio, the refined coloring of which wasdelightfully presented by Mr. Boscovitz, forming a splendid contrast to the closing Allegro, whose powerful and cbaracter- |.3yith. M, Leschetiszky, istic modulations and magnificent harmonies (especially in the repetition of the Choral Theme near the close) were fairly electritying. Mr. Bescovitz was ably seconded by Mr. Eddy, who gave the orchestra! part upon a second piano. The second number comprised fifteen sciec- tions from the works of Chopin of such varied character that the listener's interest was never gilowed to flag from the first tothe lust. It is a dangerous task for any artist to essay the inter- pretation of so many numbers from the pen of a single writer, but, owing to the judicious manner in which they were selected and the painstaking and characteristic manner in which they were presented, the attempt was em- pbatically successful. Of these numbers the Impromptu in A fat major was most univer- sally appreciated, and the artist respdnded to the attempt to encore itbysimply bowing his thanks for the appreciation so warmly mani- fested. The Berceuse was given with a delicacy and poetic fervor which were remarkuble. But the most prominent feuture of the Chopin num- bers was the splendid ballad in F minor, op. 5°, unquestionably the most difficult of all Chopin's writings, and, on account of its ditticulty, rarely played. Inspite of the magnitude of the task, itwas given with such nerve and apparent ease that to one not thoroughly acquainted with the work no suggestion ot dilticulty would be'cun- yeyed,and its performance in sucha mauner ‘was the highest test that could well be made of Mr. Boscovitz’s abilities. Especially charming was the gentle flow of the Burczrolie in F sharp major, Which was played with rare gruce and tenderness. The recital closed with Liszt's transcription of the “Spinning Song,” trom Wagner's “Flying Dutchman.” The audience, among whom were most of the prominent musiciuns end musical People of the city, was remarkubly enthusiastic, Yesterday noon Mr, Boscovitz repeated the pro- Rram at the same place. THE APOLLO CLUB pened its ninth season quite informally last Fri- day afternoon, with achuyul mutinée given by the Jadies’ chorus ef me Club to specisily invitea guests.

The Author of the Bells of Shandon, and Father Tom and the Pope. From the London Pall Matt Gazette. Father Prout in itome got into trouble with the ecclusiuaticn! Government. When be came to live in Paris, he bircd 2 dark ground-floor in Hue du Moulin, 2 street since demolished. He had three chambers, and kept no servant, Culi- nary-utensiis were littered on the floor of his sitting-room, which served asa kitchen, Nuth- ing seemed to huve been ever cleaned. The renson the tenant of this lodging gave for the disurder in which plates, dishes, knives, forks, and saucepans lny was that his tables were accu- pied with bis books and papers. And so thoy were.. The general aspect of the place wus that of an old iron and paper shop. Prout was not conscious of the unsightly untidiness which reigned about him. When he was in the Rue de Moulin be forswore at home the whisky bottle, and drank fn moder- ation when he went out to dine with convivial friends. During this phase of his life Prout was not a Roman Catholic, but he hid superstitious nooks in tis brata into which be was uuuble to admit light. He used constantly to go to a friend of his who wrote to a journal with u Uni- Tariun bias to call his attention to ecctesiustical scandals, and pressed bin to erbout them. 1 was present ut one of ches ele Prout, who dressed in a long Yluck cout of priestly fashion, was asked why ne did not seud what ke caine to communicate to the Globe. He replied tnat no- toriously be was correspondent of that pave: and that if be said ali be wished to suy he would be stung to death ‘enemies und by old friends who perhups fel’ sul: kindly disposed twwards him. One of his expressions \ at is well such things should be known. give them greater publicity than 1 can, with no prospect, newr or remote, of getting hornets round you.” He was thei rather vonerable- louking, with a white face, and grave, sweet manners. With siranzers be was shy und did nut come out; but when he took to any one hts conversittion was towing and graceful, The wit was ut little sly, Itdid notduazaie. When be made a joke or a pungent remark it was for the eur of Ube person sitting next him. 1 buve mentioned the superstitious nooks in bis brain, mle would not on any uccount accept un invitu- tion to dinner on All-Souis’ y. If he met a funeral he turned back a few steps, and would stoup to pick up u rusty piece of iron thut be saw in the street und curry it home, He was afraid to begin a work bo ‘had to get through on Friday, believed iu dreams, anu for a long time wished to believe in table-turning und spirit-rapping. By hubit and instinct he was a supernaturalisty His literary oceup.tions and reading, whic were purely literary, did not change bis bent, which was to banker after what Mrs. Crowe terined * the night side of nature.” Fathor Prout was drawn towards Spiritualism by a lady of whom be had been a sort of guard- jan, and whose life wus closely associated with his when ne was in the Rue du Moulin. Sbe was the guuxhier of & Colonel maimed at Waterluo, en 2 beauty, und to the lust bad beawr restex. Prout got ber married, and when she was awidow with a comfortable jointure tried to tind her a second husband. She lived in the ‘Ternes, and bad a house at Meudon, where she was in the hubit of spending the summer mouths with him. Every eveulng wheu she was at‘the Te be used, Unless particularly engaged, to go and dine and pass the evening with her. "If the weather was fine they both adjourued to a sumier-house, where this lady mixed grog for her veneruble friend, and then got befere 2 little table witich the spirits were supposed to prefer tw any other in ber dwelling. She was ut this time very bundsome, and used to fight Prout “tor his jood.” She would have been ns guiser- able without his soclety as ite would have been without hers, ‘He was, as sue suid, one of ber “ oldest habits”; and veally she stuod to him in the relution of 2 sort of guardian angel. About eighteen montbs before he died he was ordered to go Vichy. ‘The’ .doctor wus peremptory. Father Prout was very penurious, and did not Uke to follow so costly a prescription, The fair friend tried fighting, and I heard ber relute what battles she bud bad with him to get him otf. He pleaded his hutred of railway travel- ling. It was finally arranged that he and she were to go all the way in a curriuge, and! she promised that he should have ‘some of his. old culinary utensits stowed in a basket in order” that be should be able in hotels to do in bis own room a little cooking on the sly. One of the disbes he was in the habit of preparing for himself was out- meal porrige. After she had made arrange- ments: for the journey to Vicky Father Prout told her: that be had’ lust £40, and could not afford to go. He was in the habit of hiding money in boots and other places where the con- cierge, whom be suspected of entering his rooms when be was out, would not think of looking for it. In his latter days ke used to forget the bid- ing-places, and to be in great distress of mind, thinking he must have lost what be could not find. Relations from Ireland came over to ut- tend Father Prout in his hist illness, and I beard that it was they who sent for the Abbé Koger- sou; the lady of whom he had been the guardian 4 was not thea with him, Father Prout used to look up daily some cor- respondents of English journals roduced to bim by Tuackeray fn the café3 they frequented. He liked thoir society, and-he wanted, by read= ing their papers, to spare iiimselt the expense of a journals. At the tuble of one of them he gometimes wrote his Giohe letter. The hand was firm and lewible. and the orthography faulty. Prout had uot the memory of the eye. If a word was speltin his hearing he remembered the spelling. but be did not always distinctly recol- lect that of words he bad only read, He used to console himself with the retiection that it wus por ig business, but the procf-reader's, to spell well.

Variety hus been the churacteristic of the week~spectacle, modern drama, comedy, end negro minstrelsy—ut our four leading theatres, ‘Theatrical nudiences bave not been remarkably lurge at any of the houses excepting Haverly’s, where the Kiralfys have reproduced “ Around the World in Eignty Days.” The only novelty of the week has been at MoVicker's, There we were introduced to “A Gentleman from Neva- da,” but mcVicker's patrons did not tuke kindly tohim. ‘The play wus written by Mr. George H. vessop, with a view to the introduction of Mr. Joe Polk as astar. To accomplish this the au- thor ciuborated a comic character found in an- other play, in the portrayal of which Mr. Polk had been particularly bappy. That churactor | was Phipps of “The Bahker’s Daughter." Ini “A Gentleman from Nevada” he hus been re- | christened and appears under the name of Chris- topher Columbus Gall. The non-success of the piece ia very easily explained. In the first place, the novelty of théNcentral figure has bv worn off in this city, and thn the play, having been written merely to show olf the peculiarities of Mr. Columbus Gall, has not in itself sufficient interest to absorb the atten- tion of an audience. It is but right to say that since Monday night much of the meaningless talk spoken by Gall, wholly trrelevant either to the illustration of the character orto the de- velopment of the plot, has been cut out, und the Ppieco Is more compnet thanit was, Sr. Polk mukes as much out of the part asan actor could. His support is not exactly whut It should be. Mr. W. C. Kelley, neither in bearing nor in speech, can convey the impression that he ig enactlug the part of an English aristocrat. Miss Loulse Dixon evidently thinks that her rOie— the maid of atitled- Indy—is that of a rough soubret. Miss Emma Pierce isa graceful and, su far us personal appearance goes, nu interest- ine uctress, She «lso performs all the seenes— with one exception—in x fairly acceptable man- ner. That one exception |g where she is de- fending the charucter of her lover, the only one, indeed, requiring some elfort. She delivers her lines with about as much concern ns she would expatiate upon 2 paper of bair-pina or descant upon the beauties of a dish of straw- berry cream. Mr. Frank Losee gave u vigorous piece of acting: Mr. Murry supplied a very queer Chinaman. In cities where Phipps i not so well known as he is here there is no doubt a future for the play. ‘When one goes to sce a spectacle he expectsto find just so many curt-loads of rubbish dumped upon the stage in tne course of the evening; he inukes up bis wind to this in the bope that at in- tervals the * blue-bottied insects of the bailet”* will swoop down, whirr over the dust-beaps, and muke the air tremulous with their beauty. He gets the regulation quantity, perhaps a little more, of rubbish in.“ Around the World in Eighty Days.” He also gcts-a little more than the average quantity: of female anatomy; and: so the thin is abouteven.

Miss Boyte gives to her work the charm ot retinement and taste, and indicates the possession of ability suited for ingénue roles. Such a part ag Lillian, however, overtaxes her strength.

Boucicault is a glorious specimen of his race. He is never at peace except when he Is at war. One week he is fighting with man- agers, tho next with critics, and so on. His hands are always full. He fights more verbal duels than any living man. and the hubbub always redounds to his finan- clal glory. Of course be is never uctuated by sordid motives in stirring up these tur- moils,. but ig ever moved onward by the. high moral principle‘ that dwells in his great Irish soul. He is at it aguin. in Englund. He has taken advantage. of the present “dificulty” in the Em- erald Isle, and has produced an Irish play called “The O'Dowd,” which Is specially molded to suit the temper of the times. “The piece,” suys the correspondent of the New York Times, “is highly spiced and powerfully flavored with genuine, unadulterated political sauce. Fortu- nately for the sueccss of the dramn, so far n8 the catehlnof coppers is concerned, it has been getting it warmly from the critics, who con- demn the political nllusions in the play. Ex- perience has shown that if you want to sell a new bouk the best way to accomplish it fy to huve it ‘written down’ asa work with a very wicked purpose. Crowds of people who wouldn't otberwise have thought of it will now read it ‘just to see what {t fs lke.” So itis with a political play, Let a be said that its teaching is outrigeous, and it is certain to Graw houses crowded from flour to ceiling. New, Dion Boucicault isa very honest man, as everybody knows, anda Dubliu man to boot, his *furrin’ nume notwith- stunding. He's coming to his native city with dis political play one of taese day's, and so, this week, he hernids the coming of the drama ina sensational letter to one of the Dublin dally pa- pers. He sayy he bas not been fuirly treated by tue critics und he appeals, in anticipation, to the judgment of bis fellow-cltizens in the mutter, ‘fhe sentiments thut run through the play are tho repeal of the Uaiun and the creation of a peasant proprietary in Irelund by the doing away some- how of whut is called *landlordisin,’ of which we bear and read more than fs healthful just uow.® Dion submits for the consideration of his countrymen some extracts in prose and poetry ‘from the dialogs and set specebes in the play, in which extracts, he says, will be found ‘the whole hend und front of his offending.’ * 1am my own landlord,” exclaims The O'Dowd. ‘1 wish every Irish furm- er could say* the same.’ AS he looks up to the “tics* when uttering this patriotic wish for uni- versul peasant proprietary. the house usuully comes down with a stort of cheers. groans. and hisses. Then, in the election scene—the sensu- tion scene of the piece—young U" Duwd, the pop- uiur candidute, standing on the broad platform: of ‘Ireland for the Irish und, every peasant a landed proprictor," lets of what the police would cull an indammatory speech,’ finishing up with ten lines of rhyine, “twisted for the occasion, from Goldsmith's * Deserted Villuge.” The riv: candidate, got up after the pattern of Lord Dundreary, and whom the stuge peusuntry (in the red vests which everybody knows ure 80 cuinmon in Ireland) boot down to the ‘cry of *Custle back,’ having prescribed emigranon as the only cure tor Irish ills, Young U'buwd comes out with this slashing speech: * My gullant opponent bas told you that Ire- land fs upable to support her population.

BERNHARDT’S ‘*FROU-FROU.” * Bernhardt uppeared as Gilbertc in Meilhac and Halévy’s well-known play.“ Frou-Frou” on Wednesday. The New York Sun says: “Every seut on the lower tloor of Booth's Thentre was tuken last evening, and a fuir proportion of. the standing-room occupied. Up-stuirs it was not so full. and the top gallery bud few persons. Although the falling-off, us compared with the: opening night, was apparent, there was, nevertheless, ‘a large audience present, and one, too, that was of excellent quality ‘Tho same pauper, speuking of the performance, said that the play as “Mile.

It is a very singultr performance, and deeply impressive in what it revents of Shrub Bernhardt’s “murvelous art, her — perfect training. and the illusion of ber meth- ods." The Times says “the performance wag one of singular charm and beauty. It was, in the higbest sense of the term, u brilliant artistic achievement, very womanly and syinpa- thetic'in ity spirit, and masterly In its method. Mile.
