NIBLO'S THEATRE. The season of pantomime of the true Christmas Style Was ushered in last night at this house by the production of “Jack and Jill,” whose advent has caused quite a stir among the juveniles of the towa, It issomewhat dificult to decide whether | the periormance was very good or not, Twenty | of the audience in that well balanced state of good humor in which a very ordinary trick or device | excited them to laughter. We have rather a | Vague bellef that nearly all that was done on the stuge we had seen done somewhere beiore, yet it Was sumMciently new in combination | to lay claim to originality, It would ve loss of | time to sketch the adventures of “Jack and Jill.” | , Let it sufice taat they are of the ortuodox order, and tbat they ave brougnt to an end 1p a fairy | Scene Which closes tue pantomimic career of Jack | and bis mate w a briluancy that could hardly ; have deen expeciea trom teeir humble beginning. | These things are, however, of little consequence, | When compared to the activity of the bariequin, the bumor of the clowu3 and the grotesque- | ness Of the pantaloon, These = wortnies | j jamped = throug windows, picked pockets, i battered policemen, curvy, practical ; Jokes on ull ages, Xes and conditicns, to | the immense delight of tne gallery and’ the | quieter a: u-ement of the pit. The assaults and vatteries were perhaps in te areatest favor, though every Ciever piece of roguery was thor- oughly relisned, If one might draw conclusions as | to the moral sense pervauing the multitude trom the applause bestowed on various parts of a per. | lormance the result would be a very poor opinion | of humanity; but we suppose the audience does | not trouble Itseir thinking and is satisded wita | being amused at what is grote-que in the perform- | Qnee, At intervals an attractive selection of va- | rety performances were given. Among these, | | and speciaily deservivg of mention, were the | | Garnella Brothers, whose acrobatic ieats were re- | | | | Marhabie lor tue easy grace with which they were executed, scme of thein being really marvellous, Both boys are models of symmetry and strength. A musical performance by the Jee Brothers, wuich | they called “musical Rocks,’ was received with | | great javor and 1! was certainly very clever. The ; Caron Famtly, the Egyptian jugglers and the | Longiois Brothers lent their varied talents to | amuse the public, a ieatin which they succeeded very well. At a time when the town wants to Jangh and be made merry, the advent of so whim- sical @ periormance as “Jack and Jill’) 1s most opportune. Itis cniefly intended for the pleas- ure of une young New Yorkers during the holidays, There were comparatively jew ol the young Jolk present jast nigut, owing to the state of the | Weather, but the older people seemed to enjoy It | mite a8 Much as the younger people could have | done. The reception given to the periormance would seem to indicate returning prosperity to Nivlo's. The reopening of the house alter its tem- porary closing may be looked on as successful, and We doubt not tuat the new pantomime will fill the house during the holidays. THE OLYMPIC THEATRE. The programme at the Olympic Theatre was again completely changed last night, with the ex- ception of the burlesque, which closes the per- formance, But the best of the old faces were seen tn new acts, and there was mirth ana merri- ment throughout the evening. Mr. Sol Smith Russell gave some of his inimitable facial delinea- tions, his “Vermont Fossil,” though it has been seen before at this house, being especially suc cessful. Mr. Gus Williams presented a sketch, “The German's Dead Cnild,” which was little more than a recitation, but tt was exceedingly pathetic. Miss Emm. Day, who apparently comes from the English music halis, gave some specimens of song- acting, wnich had the charm of acting as well as of novelty. Besides there were attractions in the way of song and dance and some clever gymnastic performances. But the “Black and Tan Crook” preyed again last night, as it has been every night during the month, | the principal feature of the bill, It 1s uot loosely | or shabbily done in any particular, ana in some | respects its merits are surprising. ven in toe grandest aud proudest days of the Black Crook” Itself 1t never hada Stalacta to compare win Miss Emelime Youvg, either tn frestiness or beauty, ! ceedingly piquant young iover.

As another evidence that this, may be called the “Boucicaultean age’? of the drama in this city it might be mentioned that one of the most popular | pieces of the prolific author, ‘'Arrah-na-Pogue,”” ; Was produced at the above favorite place of | amusement last evening. ‘The characters were distributed, Mr. Lonis Aldrich personating | well | that of Shaun, the Post; Mr. ‘I, L.
