4 SOCK ‘AND BUSEIN The Coming Theatrical Events of the Season. SNSATIONS,. Meteoric Combinations and Star Engagements. SE Fa “BELLE LAMAR” AND “JEALOUSY.” ew What Our Managers Have Done | and Mean to Do. bebe REVIEW OF THE AMERICAN STAGE. Booth’s. ‘The first of the great leading theatres of the me tropolis to open its doors for what is technically Known as the fall and winter season will be Booth’s. This nouse, made famous as the princl- pal “legitimate” establishment of the United States by the Shakespearian representations of 1ts recent proprietor, EdwinBooth, has, by the caprice of fortune, passed into the hands of Messrs, Jar- rett & Palmer, enterprising people, whose conduct of Niblo’s Garden for many years was marked liberality and success. it is understood that in their new sphere Jarrett & Palmer will, like Mr. Booth, make the classical drama their principal dependence to gain public favor; bat will, while securing the best available representatives of the leading parts, give to the “star’’ actor not only elaborate mechanical and acenic surroundings, but, what {is equally essential, the support of a meritorious stock company. Asap earnest in this direction, it is given out that Miss Charlotte Cushman will produce, during what, it is intimated, will be her farewell engage- ment, ‘Henry the Eighth,” “Guy Mannering,” and “Macbeth,” the latter tragedy with a full operatic chorus, and the subordinate characters of each piece distributed aiong a supporting company consisting in part of George Vandenhof, the well known Shakespearian reader; Charles Le Clerq, Charles Rockwell, rormerly of the Fifth Avenue Theatre; F. B. Warde, of the London theatres; Fanny Brough, @ recent arrival, &c. During the season “Henry the Fiith’’ will also be brought out, and in gorgeous style. This piece affords great scope for spectacular display, and this, tt ts prom- ised will be given, and as Shakespeare never be- fore was illustrated on any stage in the world. Over 450 people will be engaged in the processions and combats, arrayed in armor, and with costly Danners, all wrought from historical designs in the British Museum. One of the most interesting tea- tures of this Shakespearian production is the fact that it will be the first ume tnat “Henry the Fitth” has ever been offered on the American stage. ‘Thisis attributable to its imperative call for nu- merous spectacular effects for perfection of story, which has heretolore deterred the most enter- prising managers from taking the becessary great nancial risks. Another piece, involving enor- | mous outlay upon the part of the man: ment, is now daily expected from the author of the roman- tie drama of “The Duke’s Motto,” Paal Févai, of aris. Other new plays, various in character, have been negotiated for, Belle Lamar trom the pen of Dion Boucicault, and put upon the stage under nis per | sonal supervision, will be tne imitial attraction of | the seasun. The play is a story of the neart and is founaed upon incidents of the great American re- | bellion. John McCullougt ts to enact the hero part, w!ic the heroine wiil be inthe capable hands of M.ss Katharime Rogers. Mr. F. F, Mackay has an important trust assigned him. Following the possibie run of this emotional piece will be “Connie Soogah,’’ an Irish drama, in which the merry Barney W jliamses appear. Thi judicious interlude affords » desirable bit of brigat- hess to the Managerial presentment. Mr. and Mrs. Williams have not been seen in New York in over five years, and as they have a numerous followin, their briel engagement wil no doubt be crowne with success, Joseph Jefferson ts also. to play at this establishment and, it is intumated, that he will appear in a new character. i theatre will be opened on Monday evening. the 10th inst. Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer have made the following engagements 0/ executive of- ficers:—Josepn H. (ookér, late of the Grand Opera House, business manager: Leon J. Vincent, oie of manager; Miciaei Connolly, musical airector; W. Voegtiin, chie! of scenic artists; W. Tillotson, treasurer and Bensen Soerwood, master machin- 1st Daly’s Fifth Avenae. e Mr. Daly bas not been idle during these summer flays. The regular season at the Firth Avenue Thea- tre will begin on Tuesday, the 25th of August. Since the house closed in June workmen have been busy within its wails upon those thousand little details which, now completed, serve to make this mag- aificent theatre one of the most periect in this country ‘for dramatic purposes. Mapy additions wiil be detected by the observing visitor, showing that Mr. Daly has in every respect studied the physical comfort as well as tne intellectual enter- tainment of his audiences. Guribaidi during the recess has completed with exquisite foish the decorations of the interior, while others are at work upon the smoking room designed ior gentle- men under the main lobby. Upon the stage an amount of massive and ingenious machinery has been introduced which will render easy of production the grandest spectacular eflects. A new aét drop has been added to the proscenium, and while the magnificent satin folding drapery Will still be used to denote the beginning and the Guish of the play the new curtain will mark the acts. It is a thoroughly original design, and 1s the work of Mr. Charies William Witnaus. It represents a view belind the scenes ata theatre in Pompeii, and the ingenious and artistic group- ing and exquisite coloring makes tt worthy of ex- tensive circulation through the process ol the en- raving art. The opening play will be a new and original drama by Mr. Augustin Daiy, which will be founa, | from ail we hear, a worthy companion and suc- cessor to his most popular plays of “Divorce” and jan and Wife.”’ [he action of the piece tran- er an Scotland and partly in the Canary | an | During the coming season, and quite early in its | course, Mr. Bret Harte’s first play and long | promised comedy wii be ready for production, and | ‘wilt be given with some oi Mr. Roberts’ most prili- fant and realistic scenic surprises. A new and powerful American piay by Bronson Howard is also to be expected, quite apart and superior in | aim to all the previous works o! this dramatist. A revival of one of the least jamiliar, but most charming o/ all of Shakespeare's comedies, wilt also mark the season, and will inaugurate a series of the choicest and ‘most rarely acted of the oid brilitant comedies; while quite early in the season Mr. Daly intends to make a speciaity of his revival of “The School tor Scandal,’ which he has—ioliow- ing the example set by the Prince of Wales’ Thea- tre, London—altered so as to comprise all the action into one scene in cach act. At Marie Wil- ton’s Theatre this adaptation of Sheridan’s comedy has made a great hit, and it will doubtless have the same success here. The company with which Mr. Daly will carry on bis season will be, beyond all compare, the best and most complete of the many brilliant dramatic organizations which have yet graced the Fith Avenue stage. Two new-comers will ask public judgment, and, we doubt not, will se- cure pulur iavor—viz., Miss Emily Rigi, who makes a bound from the embrace of Terpsic into the arms of Thalia, This beautiful litte lady has been enrolled for the past year on the scholar Toll of one of the most famous and most fashion- able institutes of rning in New York, and eomes forth quite @ mistress of fashionable grace and fashionabie Englsy. The other débutant will be Mr Sol. Kussell, the pid monologue artist, who enters the ramatic proiession ‘in will certainly ne mar! character lelineations. Miss Ada Dyas, alter a brie! trip to England, re- turns to resume her position in the company, and Miss Fanny Davenport, who made such strides toward dramatic excellence last season, is giso there to charm by her talents and her beauty. Miss Sara Jewett, tne certain e to all of Agnes Ethei’s etherial | and Mrs. G. H. Gilbert, peeriess in | her ; Fanny Morant, the Arnault-Piessis of our | j promi-ing pretty Nina Varian, and Nellie bandsome Alice Grey, Stella Congdon | Heron.

The initial representation of Mr. Toole’s series of specialties will consist of a new comic drama in three acts, written expressly tor him by Mr. James Alberry, author of the ‘Iwo Roses,” £c., ana en- titled “Wig and Gown,” with a petite comic drama called ‘he Weavers,” Mr. Toole as Simmons, The fotlowing ts the cast of ‘‘Wig and Gown :”—Ham- Mond Coote, a barrister, Mr.J.

Niblo’s Garden. Among the approaching dramatic novelties none are likely to excite greater popular interest than the forthcoming spectacular sensation of the “Deluge; or, Paradise Lost,’? which will be pro- duced at Niblo’s September 7.

During the summer it has been enlarged by the addition of an upper circle, to hold 800 persons, making the capacity 2,600, comfortabiy seated, besides a large lobby room. The entertainments given at this theatre are of the most attractive nature, thus making it Olympic Theatre. This theatre will open for the season under the | fairest auspices. During tue summer vacation the | entire establishment has undergone complete ren- | | ovation, The paintwors and frescoes have all been retouched, so that there is freshness everywhere, and the auditorium is one of the brightest in the city. Itis seidom this theatre has been closed within the past few years even in the summer, but the dulness which pervaded the theatrical business afforded a good excuse for turning off the footlighis | and shutting the doors, that the carpenters and Painters and upholsterers might have an opportu- | nity to dress the house anew. The vacation has | been so well used that the patrons of the Olympic | wil find themselves delighted with the | changes that have been wrought.

Vianesi, the conductor of the Covent Garden opera, is in Parts, Pink satin programmes will be used on the open- ing night at Booth’s, ig Nilsson is at present the guest of the Duke and | Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha. A dramatization of “GriMth Gaunt’ will be pro- duced to-morrow nigat at Niblo’s, Rubinstein’s opera, ‘Lalla Rookh,” will be brought out at Bologna next month. “Esmeralda,” by Campana, will be the attrac tion at the opening of the Teatro Paganini, Genoa. Wieniawski replaces Vieaxtemps at the Brussels Conservatoire, and music will suffer accordingly. Nilsson sung for the benefit of the poor French artists of the Comedie Frangaise before they left London. | Rubinstein is playing “The Demon” at the St, Petersburg Opera House. May it not be a new name for the deuce? ' | * Callender’s Georgia Minstrels willopen in Brook- | lyn to-morrow night, at Hooley’s, fora season of six nights and a matinee, “Still harping on my daughter’ Daly opens with | @ new play which is named “Jealousy.” The Filth Avenue opens on the 25th inst. Messrs. Cbizzola and Grau have succeeded in making an engagement with Mme. Ristori for the coming season, She will appear at tne Lyceum. Liszt is not sick, and his Tiltonian son-in-law, Von Bulow, 1s with him this summer. Of all th pious humbugs that Europe can boast of Bulow and Liszt are the most anpardonable. ‘Yhe diapason normal, that has stirred up a fear- | fal row between Sir Michael Costa and Christine Nilsson, has become as notorious as the Beecher | scandal here with the English press, Costa must yield to the lowering of the pitch. The immense advance sole of seats for the first | Per‘ormance of “Belle Lamar” at Booth’s Theatre | 1s cheering to the managerial fraternity generally. | That such an overwhelming attendance as is prom. | ised should occur so early as the 10th of August is considered by theatrical people as indicative of an unusually prosperous season. John Brougham has written a drama, founded on Charles Dickens’ story of ‘Little Dorrit,’ for Miss Jennie Waliace, one of the Wallace sisters. Tne dramatization ts the result of long and close study. Mr. Brougham said, on its completion, ‘My writ- | ing days are nearly over, It has been my pride to | Make ‘Little Dorrit? the best play I have over written, and I am almost positive I have suc- ceeded.’” The peculiar story of ‘‘Belle Lamar” promises to insure the attendance of all the officers of this | military district. ThesArmy ana Navy Club take great interest in the piece, and have secured many of the most desirable seats, Beyond the military circle places have been taken by notables in the literary, dramatic, legal and medical world, and | the occasion will undoubtedly be one of the most brilliant ‘first nights’? ever seen ina New Yore theatre. ANOTHER OASE OF POLICE OLUBBING. On the 4th day of July last OMicer Hugh Leddy, of the Twentieth precinct, while patrolling his beat. in West Thirty-eighth street, near Tenth avenue, had occasion to order a party of men who were standing in front -of MacDonough’s liquor store, No, 612 West Thirty-eighth street, to disperse. He received @ rude answer from the parties addressed, and becoming indignant he seized one of the gang, named Edward Daly, by the collar, and met with some resistance. The officer avatied himself of hisciub and struck Daly on the head, rendering him senseless, Daly was so seriously injured as to cause bis confinement to bed for some time aiterwards, On his recovery he preferred a com- piaint against Leddy before the Police Board, bat ailed vw obtain redress. Yesterday he made a Jormal complaint to Justice Morgan, jefferson Market, charging Leddy with felonious assault. Owing to the absence of important witnesses the — Of the case Was postponed until Tuesaday
