"Only this and nothing more."] In the set-to between Gene- vieve Ward on the one side and Theodore Hobs and Lester WaUack on tbe other, the party of the first part gained first blood and first knock-down, and then the party of tbe second part hauled off "For- get-me-not" for repairs.

ATI other road combinations will not thank ns for this suggestion of a great business enterprise; but we bave tbe public's Interest at heart, and therefore all other combinations must stand back.

Well, our theatrical managers are offering us some "new and novel" attractions this week, and any man or woman who cannot find something in the general bUl-of-faxe to please him or her is only fit for treason, stratagem and spoua. We don't know when so many good things nave been presented at the same time, and now that sleighing is wiped out. ^>-Hn0 cut np beyond recognition, and a new ordinance against any further dropping of beanU- ful snow In the metropolis pnt Into operation, the theatres have the Held all to themselves, while rqad- honses, stables and skate emporiums mourn the hopes departed. Business at the theatres was fairly remunerative last week, bnt no bank was broken by any drain upon Its vaults by theatre-goers. Theatre-parties are corning Into play again; It's a pleasant way of entertaining one's friends, and 1b cheaper than a German or a luncheon. The great objection to such partiea Is that there is entirely too much conversation going on among the invited gnesia while the play Is in progress, and there Is generally one person In the crowd who knows all about the play and. the players, and wbo tells the others who Is to come on next and what he or she will say—giving. In fact, the flotof the play, and thereby Interfering with the enjoyment of the polite hearers. One of these party persons became so noisy in hht diffusion of useless Information laot week that It was excusable In one of onr sons of toll in the upper-circle when be suggested that the warbler be "fired out!" No, Jimmy; these theatre-partleB do not carry their lunch with them, bnt sattgfy themselves with the Intellectual pabulum provided by the performers. These parties are Just as fashionable on the east side of town as on tbe Broadway slope, the only difference being that In the Bowery tbe man wbo elves the party likewise furnishes peanuts, on tbe half shell free to all. The Jim hov favors tbe latter policy Why doesn't somebody walk on a tight- rope stretched across Broadway from tbe Astor House to Ttw Brrald building? A free exhibition of this sort would Ju«t Jam that spot like shad-roes. and a good collection might be taken op without difficulty, we haven't had anything like that for' several years, and now Is the time to start a ropewalk on Broadway They say that J.

Verily, the midgets are mltey, and must prevail To he frank with onr correspondent, we would state that we do not believe that a Chinese theatre wonld meet with favor Inthlsclty.

The Initial performance, which was tar from being satisfactory, lasted until long after midnight; but on the second night, when we sat tlireugh the representation, Ittermlnated about 12 o'clock, yet there were many bitches, and the delays between the acts were tedious. In its present condition It "to impossible to predict Its success or failure, it Is an adaptation of Adolpb Belot's "La Venus Noire," and In construction it bears a close resemblance to ■"Around the World in Eighty Davs," but It Is not so good a piece. Pbln- eas Fogg is the prototypeof M. DeHeTiri. and Passe Partout of the valet Joseph: but in place of O'Pake, the American, we have Miss Beatrix Poles, an eccentric American traveler, who reproduces the falry-buslness of Jennie Weathersby In "Hobbles." Miss Poles, while batfdTnj. has her clothes stolen, and she wesvjsashort skirt of palm-leaves, and tbos attired rushes in the midst«r a large assem- blage of people on the etage. where she Is quickly attired in appropriate garments by her lady- friends. Although the representative of the char- acter had an attenuated figure/the episode was not so successful as had been hoped for or as it may become In future. Inateadofatsrtlng from the club-house in Liverpool lor a tour around the world, the travelers in this piece start from the house or the Baroness De Gneran, in Paris, and thelrobjectlve polnt Is tbe Interior ol Africa, where her husband Is held captive by a Bivaoe tribe. We snbeequent- lv learn that the leader of this tribe is the Black Venus, wto Is deeply enamored of the Baron, who, necsnse he re ruses to wed her, is condemned to be devoured by tigers In her presence. H. Be Hortn enables the Baron to escape by taking but place in confinement, and, aided by Kasssr, a rejected suitor ol Venus', stirs np a revolt in the tribe, and during a conflict Venus ts defeated. This descrip- tion Includes the plot or the piece. Tbe dialogue is of so Uttle necessity that It might possibly be compressed Into a very small span. The points nf attraction are the scenes In the various places through whlob the travelers pass. The opening scene was sumptuous; the second represented a steamboat landing In Cairo, Egypt, where a ballet of masks took place; the third presented a pano- rama of a portion or tbe River Nile, while tbe travelers occupied a steamboat (with real smoke, it team, and a whistle, which was blown frequent- ly) In the foreground; and the fourth, a slave-ves- sel-on tbe Kile, and its destruction by Are, which terminated the first act. A curtain was lowered after the conclusion of each or these scenes. The second aot shows us the caravan which Is to escort the travelers from Earthum across the desert. In this were seen a number of zebras camels, goats, horses, a donkey, and a sacred buU. Tbe number of attendants was large, and tbe general effect was imposing. During tbe act the effects of the rising of the snn and of a sand- storm on the desert were remarkably well done, and elicited considerable applause. The third act waa devoted to a gorgeona rMgeant in front of the palace of King Konza, whose permission to pass through his kingdom has to be attained ere the travelers can proceed. The costumes and appoint- ments were rich and novel. In the fourth act we see the Black Venus for the first time, when a grand fete is in progress at ber palace. Here the full ballet-corps were seen, their costumes being gorgeous, bright In color, varied, and novel In de- sign. Ample opportunity was afforded Miles. Tie Rosa and Cornalba and Mr. Arnold Kl- ralfy to display their terpstchorean skill. Xear the close of tbe act the cage containing liv- ing tigers, which are to devour tbe Baron, was dlfc'osed by tbe withdrawal of curtains at the rear or the apartment, anil In obedience to Venus' commands to lash them Into their great- est fury their keeper entered the den and ostensi- bly did so. The Anal act was devoted to what was Intended to represent a battle of tbe amazons in the Blue Mountains, In Central Africa. It was In- effective by reason ol the portion of the stage used being too limited, and a platform raised on an angle Interfering with the movements of the horses and those on toot. Several of the horses stumbled, and one threw Its rider—Harry Meredith—completely over Its bead. Many or tbe amaaons in attempting to ran np the ascent presented snch an awkward appearance as to excite laughter. When the tableau was finally formed It was Imposing and highly effective, and we think tbat the representation wonld be Improved by omitting all action and pre- senting tbe tableau. It wonld be better still IT the Klrairy Brothers, wbo produced the spectacle, would present a copy of tbe tableau entitled "The Battle of the Amazons," as given by the Kel- ler tronpe some years ago. There were out little opportunities for acting; bnt those deserving of special mention were Gabriel Dn Sanld, Miss F. Simmons, Harry Dalton and W. H. Lytell, who lm- perFooaled the travelers; E. S. Tarr. who gave capital portraits ora civil-Justice in Karthnm and King Mania, the latter being especially effective; Harry Meredith, who presented a splendid picture as Kassar'; D. R. Young, for his excellent portray- al ot the captive Baron: and Emmie Wllmot as the Black Venus. Although she did not fill the Ideal as regards site and voluptuousness or physique. She Invested the part with becoming dignity and acted it quite satisfactorily. Business waa large duiliigjhe rest of the week.

It la a melodrama In a prologue and four acts, adapted from the French by William Seymour, Btsge-manncer of the Ttoston Museum, and was acted for the first time on any stage In Rochester, N. V., Jan. 1. It cannot be said to have achieved success, because the plot Is far from being clearly developed, the dialogue Is liberally Interspersed with trite melodramatic expressions which have done long service, and the sacrifice ol human life Is somewhat appalling. Mr. Paulding Is not de- void of talent, but his abilities are being misdirect- ed. If he persists in his present course he will fly. his prrgen: f inltn so flrmly that they cannot be eradicated.

The support was not In all respects satisfactory, several of the company helng cast out of their proper sphere. Although there is a supposed lapse or eighteen years between tbe prologue and the drama, one or the young ladles playing a leading part looked younger In the drama than she did In tbe prologue. Tbe_piece was with- drawn 14, and Mr. Paulding acted Sbylock In "The Merchant or Venice" at the matinee, and Bertucclo in ,; The Fool's Revenge" night of IS. The attend- ance was not large.

L- Bateman.— A cablegram announces the demise of this well-known actress, dramatist and manageress in London, Eng.. Jan.. 13. Deceased t whose maiden name was Sydney Coweu, was the daughter of Joe Cowell, a come- dian of celebrity on both tbe English and the American stage, who died in London abont 1884, while there on a visit with his grand-daughter, Kate Bateman. Miss Cowell bad acted In many .of the Southern and Western theatres, and while so engaged she met H. L. Bateman, whom she snbae- qnectlv married. In 1848, while Mr. and Mrs. Bateman were engaged In the Louisville (Kv.) Tneatre, tbelr two little children. Kate and Ellen, made their debnt, playing the babes In "The Chil- dren in the Wood." and displayed so much pre- cocity that their parents decided to bring tbem be- fore tbe pnbllc as Infant prodigies. After a few years spent in study this Idea was conrarnmated, and the success whlcb attended the performances of these talented children throughout the United States and Great Britain was phenomenal. Mrs. Bateman then retired from the active pursuit of her profession, and, being possessed or literary abil- ities or no mean order, she devoted considerable at- tention to writing for the stage. One or her earliest productions was a comedy entitled "Self," in which the leading character. John Unit, was. modeled after John Bates, a wealthy and successful man- ager at tbat time In Cincinnati, Louisville and St Louis. Mr. Bates' ldlosyocracles were peculiar and very marked, and when the Impersonator of John Unit was able to successfully reproduce these the comedy always met with success. John E. Owens answered tbese requirements better than any other person who bos played the part. When the piece was produced in Burton's New Theatre (afterwards the Winter Garden), In this city, Oct 27, lass, it enjoyed a run of twelve nights, although Mr. Burton—woo plaved John Unit—did not cany out the author's Idea, bnt worked out his own con- ception or tbe role. Mrs. Bateman also wrote a tragedy entitled "Oeraldlne, or Love's Victory." for Matilda Heron, which was acted In Wal- laces (old) Theatre from Aug. 22 to Sept 14, 185a. When Kate Bateman made her first ap- pearance on the stage since childhood. In the Winter Garden, Feb. 19, I860, she played the title - character In a drama by ber mother, entitled "Evangeline," founded upon Longfellow's poem of that name, -ft Is probable that she had something to do. In tbe way of revision, at least, with the drama of "Leah." in which her daughter achieved much distinction. About 1870 Mr. Bate- man leased the Lyceum Theatre, London, Eng., and continued its manager until bis decease March 22.1876, after which Mrs. Bateman assumed Its direction, being aided by Henry Irving, tbe foundation or wbose presentsuccessbad been laid bv her husband. Finally, Mr. Irving purchased Mrs. Bateman'B Interests in tbe theatre, and short- lv thereafter she leased Sadler's Wells Theatre, and after entirely reconstructing it run it quite succeeslnlly up to the time or her death. It waa in this theatre and under her management that Mr. and Mrs. McKee Rankin and their American combination first acted '-The Danltes," April 28, 1880. She leaves four daughters, all Americans- Kate (Mrs. George Crowe), Ellen (Mrs. Greene. In re- tirement since chtldbood), Isabella and Virginia (both or whom have achieved success on tbe Eng- lish stage). Miss Eleanor Calhoun made her first effort upon the stage east or California at Ford's Opera- house, Washington, D. C, Jan. 10. as Juliet In "Romeo and Juliet," supported as follows: Lady Capnlet Miss Carrie Walker; Nurse, Mrs. JaneGer- mon; Romeo. Barton Hill; Mercutlo. Frank Lawlor; Tybalt. J. G. Germon; Capnlet. Chas. Hogandom; Friar Lawrence, E. A. Eberle; Peter, George W. Denbam. Onr correspondent says: "She called forth large audiences during her stay. She Is hand- some, and possesses a voice remarkable tor sweet- ness and range or tone, rather than strength. Her presence, though showing Inexperience, la ex- tremely pleasant Her costumes are rich and ex- quisite, and exceedingly becoming. In Juliet she endeavors to Introduce some new business, especially In the potion-scene, where she set the stage differently from that generally seen, and gives tbe dread of the situation tbe effect of suppressed horror and emotion. Her style Is classlo and pure, although at times lacking in dramatic power. She appeared as Julia In The Hunchback' 12, and won a creditable success. In the third act she displayed a marvelonsly pretty pale-pink satin costume, that showed off her dark eyes and hair to advantage, and In the second act her costume or cardinal and old-gold was a Joyous feast for the eyes. The support was fair. George W. Denham as Modus proved successful; Frank Lawlor as Master Walter was good; Barton Hill as Clifford clever; and Miss Blanche Thompson as Helen surpassed all her previous efforts, looking and acting the part to good advantage. 'Daniel Rochat' was given on Thursday evening for the first time in Washington, with Miss Calhoun as Lea Henderson. This play, to take well, ehonld be well acted throughout, but In Its representa- tion here all that was creditably done was by Miss Calhoun and Mrs. Germon. Miss Calhoun is a young actress or more than ordinary merit, and at some day. not far distant, is destined to be one or tbe shining lights of the theatrical firmament" Sullivan A Stratton'b Dramatic Combination, now playing "Uncle Tom's Cabin," is composed or tbe following artists: E. 9.

Marshall, the theatrical man- ager, whose death In Philadelphia was recorded in our past issue, we present the following particu- lars. During nls early professional career oe had managed the National Theatre. Washington, D. ti- the Holllday-street Tneatre, Baltimore, Md.: and the Wainnt-streetTbeatre. Philadelphia, Pa. When P. C We my as resigned the management or the theatre last named. July 31.1840. Mr. Marshall and William Dlnneford became tbe lessees. They opened It with W. R. Blake as stage-manager. Oct 12, with a Terr strong company and the following Iowtariff of prices: Lower (dress) olrcle, 60 cents; second and third tiers, 26cts.; and pit laxcts. During the season Mr. Marshall became estranged from Mr. Dlnneford. and at the end of the Summer season completely Ignored him. A local Journal. In speaking of Marshall at this time, said: "He Is found to be a man or strong perceptions ready tact in business, and or quiet, social re- lations, having ail of the honorable principles ol a man of business. As a novice ne has gov- erned theatrically with much eclat ana success." During the season of 1841-2 (Mr. Marshall being tbe sole lessee), when Burton was pre paring- to pro- duce "London Assurance" for the first time In Philadelphia, at tbe National, Mr. Marshall, throneb Tom Flynn—who had succeeded W. B-Blake as stage-manager—announced by profuse advertising the speedy production or "The Naiad Queen." At the same time he was quietly preparing for the production of "London Assurance." which, to the surprise of Burton and the public, he successfully brought ont Saturday. Nov. e, thus getting ahead ot Burton. He bad also engaged the best of the company of the Chestnut-street Theatre to perform In It Among his company this season were E. L. Davenport and James W. wallack Jr. During the season J. B. Booth, Yankee Hill, E. a. Conner. Joseph Proctor and Jonn Sefton played star engagements, and during the Summer a. a. Ad- dams and Charles Eaton appeared together In various plays. Herr Driesbacn and bis trained animals and J. B. Buckstone fulfilled engage- ments. During the season which opened Sept 22, 1842, Mr. Marshall annaonced Charlotte Cusnman as the directress of tbe theatre. In the opening comedv, "The Belle's Stratagem." William Wheat- ley made bis first anpearance in this theatre, play- ing Doricourt; W. S. Fredericks played Flutter: E. L. Davenport. ConrtaTl; Mrs. Maeder, LeUtla Hardy; Charlotte Cushmao. Mrs. Rackett; and Susan Cash man. Lady Frances. Oct 10 George Yandenhoff made bis first appearance In Phlladel- K" la. acting Hamlet Forrest, Proctor, BUsbee n Marble, Burton, Booth, Yankee Hill, Mr. and Mrs. John Brougham, and Placlde also played star engagements. Owing to the success achieved by the Ravels in pantomime In NIMo's Garden, New York, Mr. Marshall decided to give his patrons a similar production. He engaged Barnes. Brown.. Davis and Mulligan, pantomlmists ol the Eng- lish school, and brought ont Deo. 13 "The Black Raven' or tbe Tombs" In a style or magnificence which far surpassed anything be- fore eeen In that city. Jan. 20, 1843, Ray- mond, Ogden A Co.'a Circus began a series or performances. In 1843 Mr. Marshall also became lessee of the Chestnut-street Theatre, which he opened in September for tbe purpose of playing stars; but it did not prove profitable, and be closed it on Dec. 28. He reopened the Walnut Sept 14,1843. During the season J. M. Field pro- duced^ number of new plays', and Charlotte Cosh- man on Sept 30 acted' Captain. Charlotte In the * bnrletta of that Dime. Nov. 4 .N. Howes'Circus was put In, and the dramatic company returned Jan. 1, 1844. July 2» Joseph Foster produced a pantomimic spectacle entitled "Munchausen, or the Sorcerer of the Green Isles." In whlcb Charles J. Rogers (later of Spalding % Rogers' Circus, played Harlequin. Mr. Marshall continued to- manage the Walnut-street Theatre until 1867, wben he was succeeded Dec 19 by Mrs. D. P. Bowers.. In February. 1848, Mr. Marshall became Interested with Alvah Mann, the well-known circus-manager. In the Broadway Theatre, New York City, of which Mr. Mann was tbe proprietor, and on Oct 25 the firm of Mann k Marshall was dis- solved, Mr. Marshall continuing' as sole man- ager. It was run essentially aa a star the- atre. During thei time that E. A. Marshall de- voted his attention to this theatre his Interests In the Walnut-street Theatre were guarded by his brother Caleb, wbose name, however, was not an- nounced upon the bills or In the advertisements. By reason of E. A. Marshal] having the direction or these two theatres, and by forming an with John Bates, who owned theatres In Cincin- nati. Louisville and st Louis, and with a manager in New Orleans, he was enabled te control the movements or all stars who came hither from Europe; because, as be advertised in certain news- papers in London, Eng.. that unless stars visiting this country opened in the Broadway Theatre, New York, they wonld be debarred from appearing In the other cities In the theatres of Mr. Mareball'B circuit He retired from the management of the Broadway Theatre May 1.1868, and during the last lew years or bis reign there the theatre did not prove profitable, owingto rapid uptown movement or citizens for residences. When the Academy ot Music, Philadelphia, Pa., waa first opened, Feb. 23, 1867, Mr. Marshall was Its manager, and so continued for a season or two. while """■^■f the Broadway Theatre, up to 1861, he lost so much money that he publicly announced that he was about to give up Its management. A committee or citizens got up a benefit for him, which took place In Castle Garden Aug. 12,1861. A letter datedjnly 12 was addressed to Mr. Marshall, signed by Ire- Henry P.
