March u, '81_ We Dad a foretaste of Spring daring tbe early part of tbe past week, bat Wednesday and lie storm knocked all tbe conceit oat of na. When, on tbe Sabbath day. Old Sol smiled npon ns from tbe empyrean bine, and we donned tbe lovely Spring overcoat, lavender trousers and patenMeatber sboes, and went forth upon the ayenne, we felt all the; be tier for the resurrection, and entered the di- vine sanctuary like one who has nude his calling and election sore, and feels no tribulation'for his past misdeeds. Everything was bright and cheery. Hen asked as to drink who had never taken that trouble before; and venders of cnt flowers Bar- rounded ns as If they were a swarm of bees and we a monument or sweetness. We took In tbe sacred concert at tbe Hadlson-sqaare Garden, and, overcome with tbe eloquence of toe clarionet and tbe brassy Indifference ol the trombone, we re- mained to see that the gallant pedestrian racers were sent on tbelr way rejoicing. When w« saw that vast crowd of athletic admirers potrlov down their dollars, we felt anxious a boat the theatres, and. feared that the qnartet of runners and walk- ers wonld sicken every actor In town; bnt when, on the morning of tbe second day, y onnc Albert picked tip a pebble on the track with his feeL and declared offforthe rest of tbe Journey, leaving tbe otben to make a triangular tight ot it, we knew that the contention was shorn of half Its Interest and that the theatres had >V5thing to foam amyan it turned oat;-for Uwi.-3fendy"now of tnlun ODTthe opening-day of, tbe exhibition at the Madison- square Gardes ceased on tbe second, and a reduc- tion of tbe extrance-fee to bair-a-dollar per person failed to gather them In. and thereafter tbe Jig wee up, as it wen, and mnch ol tbe flltby lucre Intend- ed for- the walking gentlemen was diverted Into tbe theatrical grooves, to tbe evident gratification of indefatigable managers and Irrepressible treas- urers. In another part or tbis paper details ot the pedestrian contention are given from notes taken on the spot by our own reporter Janansobek has remained absent from Kew York so long tbat our people bad wellnlgh forgotten all about her, and that is why she and her plays met with such a cold and nnfrlendly reception when she under- took to renew ber acquaintance with us last week at Booth's Theatre. We missed tbe Jolly face and the cheerful voice of Plllot, who in other days was wont to set tbe house upon a roar when he figured In tbe capacity of the lady's agent, etc Janau- scbek has lost none of that sweetly - mixed accent whlcb used to herald ber coming upon tbe mimic stage, nor baa ber form lost any ot Its mas- slveness since she's been gone. "Brunhild" Is too heavy for tbe present taste of metropolitan audi- ences, and she Is too heavy lor "Fancbon," "Mu- sette" and similar light trifles which are still In favor with us Habn's Comic-opera Troupe couldn't have bad mucb fun in the Bowery, wbere they noted last week. Tbe variety theatres on that aide of town have such a hold upon tbe affections of the people thereaway tbat it requires a very talent- ed Innovation to supplant tbat element. Besides, the comicalities of the regulars are much more mirth-provoking than aX the. alleged comic-opera Ssrtles tbat ever risked a week's stand on tbe owery slope Her husband is doing the West- ern country. - Mrs. Langtry we allude to. If sbe were only along with him, then there wonld be a sensation In deed. Let's try to get ber to come over We don't know what to say about It. A showman wants to get a good preaoher to lecture at tbeIklrs next Fall, and seeks our advice. Either Spurgeon of London or Talmage of Brooklyn would answer. Sporgeoii, rjerhape, is tbe more eloquent or tbe two, but Talmage gets in more business, Intro- dadog aerobe tic and other apecleltlea calculated te please families who take in tbe fairs. We recom-. mend neither, however, bnt.suggest these two names as strong drawing cards People don't like to be disturbed when they are taking lunch, and this tact may account for tbe rebuff a gentle- man met with a few days age at tbe hands of one of our front-row olerks. Said tbe gentleman: "I am about getting up an entertainment for deaf mutes, and desire to ask yoa how to go about It. and what style of entertainment would be most desirable." "Welt," replied our buogrrassociate, "you should first hire a hall; then hire another HaU, Rev. J. rL, to deliver a lecture I" No wonder the gentleman went away angry. The Idea or de- ll re ring a lecture to deal mutesl -Should you enter places wbere our circus friends are practicing-their ring-stock for the approaching season, tbe den of wild animals la a mucb eater resort than the educated mule's heels. Beware of the latter, wbloh kicketh closer than a brother Now that "the whale" la get- ting to be a trite off color, the manager thinks of bringing It East, None of It tor as, Mister Man. It were better tboa stsyeth West Odon from Hunter's Point are enough for us If, as the Slous tracts assert. It takes nine ordinary tailors > make a man, now many of "BUIee Tailor" wonld It take, and why f Our correspondents assure us that Annie Plxley went through tbe South like an army with banners. While not a mlaa, erne atlas M'ilse, By romping and by conning.

We felbvery bad when that enterprising bill- poster undertook to cover Cleopatra's Needle with colored posters emblematic or natural cnriOBltles and other things, and was tired out like' he bad been sent forward by a gigantic Krupp gun. He now lies on a bed or sickness We regret tbat we can give no encouragement to a Western corre- spondent, who, in a letter we received Irom him last wees; says: "Learning of tbe success Stgnor Salvlnl baa met with In his performance of a play called 'Othello,' I take tbe liberty or asking whether I can copyright tbat play, and act It through the. United. States as my property * I am a low comedian, but think something like this •Othello* would suit me better.

We came across a piece ot '•Our Jim's" handwriting, a fewdaysago, and by it Ve were surprised to learn that the lad was engaged In working np a burlesque on "Olivette," to be called "Omllette, or the Plemaker's Daughter." It begins and ends with pie, the scene being laid In a Division-street ple-baklng store. There Is not a particle of love In the composition. If we except the hero's love for tbe appetizing pie.

Ths STBaJtoSCB-HEss Opera Compant during tbe past week, tbe last of their engagement at the FUth-avenae Theatre, repeated "Carmen," with Marie Roze In the title-role, on Monday and Friday. "Fra Dtavolo" was given Tuesday, affording Laura Schlrmer as Zerllna an opportunity to make an excellent Impression by her attractive appearance and pleasing soprano voice. "Alda" was pre- sented on Wednesday for the first time In English in this city, with Marie Roze In the tltle-cbaraoter; Mr. Byron, Bbadames: Mr. Carieton, Amonasro; Mr. Oonly, Ramphls; Miss Annandale. Amnens; Hiss Arconc, Priestess: and Mr. Hall, the King. Miss Roze won considerable applause for ber In- terpretation, both her singing and her acting go- ing ar to make tbe performance a success- ful one. Mr. Conly was excellent as Ram- phls, and the remainder of the cast, with the exception of Mr. Byron, was acceptable. Tbe re- cital appeared to please as well as any this com- pany have given. "The Bohemian Girl" was the bill on Thursday and Saturday, with Abble Car- rlngton as Arllne, and neither ber personation, PerugJul's Tbaddeua, Miss Annandale'a Queen, nor the otbera of the cast, with the oxceptlon or Mr. Oonly r s Devilsbeor, which waa a very effective per- formance, are deserving of special mention. "Alda" was repeated at the Saturday matinee, with Mile. Torrianl In the leading part. The com- pany ts now reduced In numbers.

As Trotter Southdown Mr. Goodwin was not en- tirely eatlsfaotofy. and It became manliest that be Is mnch more likely to aohlere success in extrava- ganza than as a farce actor. The support was not up to the mar!* "The Marionettes," a two-act piece, posseaacs-ilttle merit and Is evidently tbe work ofone unskilled In writing for tbe stage, or haa been ruined by alteration. The first act Is doll and prosy, bat las second contains some fanny Ideas, snd If the whole piece shonld be rewritten and compressed into forty minutes' acting time It would prowls much more diverting than In It pres- ent form. .-The plot Is thus: Osnt, sudssBtrhelng destrone of eloping with i nnpll of tbe AcaolA academy, throws a note over the wan of tbe scbool-eroanAa, aed-ft le re ad In torn by tbe teacher ana en ot the Derpaa, neb ot whom believes that It Is Intended for herself.

Mr. Goodwin as the Italian organ-grinder was fairly successful. Tbe live monkey wblch be led on attracted a liberal share of the attention of the audience by Its antics. In this scene he acted Armand to the Camllle of Daisy Ramsden In the closing portion of tbe fourth act of "Camllle," and it Is presumed tbat be Intended to give an Imi- tation ot Charles R. Tborne Jr. In that role, but the resemblance was not striking. His persona- tion or Bob was comical, but his greatest success was made as tbe female wax figure. His make-op was admirable, and his eccentricities elicited sc'earns oflaugbter. Mme. Mlchela, who reap- peared alter a long absence, gave a capital portrayal or the principal of the/academy. D&Ibv Ramsden, who played Arabella Minks, a type of Belinda, the Slavey In "Our Boys," did fairly, and was appro- priately made np, save tbat sbe wore sandal boots of fashionable make and expensive light-blue hose, wblcb led the spectator to expect momentarily that sbe would suddenly doff ber Cinderella garb, and caper as Prince Prettylellow In gorgeous attire. Frank Lamb as a fat page called Sardanapalus did well; but little can be said In favor of tbe restof tbe cast. Mr. Goodwin and company closed with the week.

She has lost none or ber beauty or face or figure, ber voice retains Its power, and ebe singe ss swee'ly as of yore. The ballets were highly effective, and the dancing of De Rosa ana Csppellnl In tbe bine ballet aroused mnch enthusiasm. A new divert!setnent entitled "Women and wine," with De Rosa.

John b, Jstptbet of ourjago v$re4 March li. A bdblesqce on "Olivette," or tbe open ln condensed form, was the special leature or at- traction at Tony Pastor's Theatre dnring tbe past week. Tbe chief points of the original work have been retained in this one-act version, and the most .taking musical numbers of tbe now familiar score can be heard. Many of the song-lines are also trom the' original. Manager Pastor bas put the piece on In excellent shape In scenery and cos- tumes, the latter being especially noticeable. Some of the dresses are very handsame. and there is a general tasternlness displayed tbat puts this pre sentatlon no way behind the former recitals of tbe work ln this city ln this respect. -There Is not tbe usual exhibition of feminine anatomy tbat seems to be tbe rule with this opera elsewhere, and, while tbe dresses are much more modest, tbey gain by being decidedly more appropriate and tasteful. Lillian Russell matte an excellent mark In the title-role by her attractive appearance and pleasing voice. Sbe Is most deservedly a favorite. John Morris made an amusing Captain, snd Flora Irwin as the nepbew did her part very cleverly. Her singing of the serenade was well done. Tbe remainder of the cast was creditably distributed, the full llrt including: Valentine. Flora Irwin; Duke of lis and Buts, Big. Olml (his first appearance at this theatre); Captain Merry Mac. John Morris; Marieral, the mavor. Gee. W. Palmer; Ko-ko, a servant, Dan Collyer; Matelot. Frank Glrard; Olivette, Lillian Russell; the Countess, May Irwin; Velveteen, her companion, Bessie Grey. The general ef- fect or tbe recital was a most pleasing one, and we could pick out most of the princi- pal numbers, and say tbat they were given In a very enjoyable manner.
