Entertainments. Ar Hek Majesty's Theatre...
ENTERTAINMENTS . Ar Hek Majesty's Theatre , an extra performance of" Bon Giovanni" was given on Monday night , M . Gassier took the character of the hero , while Signor Everardi assumed that of Xeporello , and sang- and played with great correctness and vivacity . Signor Sebastiano Ronconi's -version .- of '" ' Masetto" was fine and effective . Mdlle . Titiens was in splendid voice , ' -and-was recalled in "Non mi dir , " and Madame Borghi-Mamo exquisitely sang " Vedrai . carmo , '' and was encored . Signor Giuglini was also recalled in " II mio tesoro , " which he sang-with great ; skill and taste . ; : -. - ' . :. . - . - . ' _ . ' ;_ ¦ ' ' - . ' __ . . '• ' ' ¦ * . ¦' A grand morning concert took place on Wednesday afternoon in the fine Floral Hall attached to the Royal Italian Opera - - House . The Hall-was well filled , and being decorated gaily with flowers ' , looked exceedingly well . " ~ ^ The orchestra was at the Covent Garden end of the arcade . The whole of the opera'chorus was in attendance , and the concert . was one of the finest of the kind ever given . Mesdames Gi-isi and Naritier-Didiee , in the ensemble " Giorno d'orore ' of the duet " Ebben a te ferisa , " from " Semirainide , " were encored , Mario , and the chorus in the serenade from / ' Don Pasquale , " Com' e gehtil " obtained a similar compliment . The introduction to " Guillaume Tell , " and the prayer from ¦ " Massaniello , " were fine performances . Madame Grisi received great applause in the Cavatina , " Qui la voce . " Madame Csillag , Mdlle Corbarj , M . Zelger , Signors Gardohi and Ronconi , and M . Fame , acquitted themselves admirably in their — -respective-portions-of-the-concer-t ^— ,-. — , — , — , , —_—— , —_ , The " Oddities of Ohio , " the title of a new ballet by M . Leclercq , j was produced on Monday night at the Haymarket Theatre . The interest of the work turned upon the resolution of two young i girls— -Mary ( Miss Coates ) and Lucy ( JMiss Louise Leclercq— to . marry theirlovers , against which alliance their guardian . Old Sam , Slick ( Mr . Leclercq ) , had set his face . The maidens , by their wit . and ingenuity , overcome all their obstacles , and in the end true love i is made happy . The perils , however , through which Mary and Lucy j pass to their connubial goal are truly alarming . The ballet was cleverly acted by Messrs . Charles and Arthur Leclercq , and the ¦> energy and grace of their sister added greatly to tho success of the : piece . The house was crowded . St . James ' s Theatre . Mr . Chatterton as lessee and Mons . Adrien Talexy , the well-known French critic and litterateur , huye opened this pretty little theatre lor one more attempt to attract our ; public by tho modern French drama . That they will be more successful than some of their predecessors we luivo . little doubt , if only they are enabled to realize their promises , lor instead of imagining- that tenth-rate artists , little better , in fact than histrionic j pupils , would bo good enough for English audiences , they have paid : us the compliment of offering engagements to actors and actresses of reoognised position on the French boards . T | ioy have already broken ground with several agreeablo pieces , affording 1 room for display of > considerable ability , which is decidedly not wanting in Messrs . Paul , , Devaux , Brindean , Montigny , Leroux , Churvct ; nor in Mesdames j Ledue , Maria Basta , and Duvergcr . On Monday night , and during the week , has been performed by way of opening 1 a trille light as air called " Lea Etoiles de Paris . " On the first evening we had tho ** Cheveu Blanc , " n piquant littlo piece b y M . Octave Feuillet , a draniatiat of the elegant school in which Mdlle . Duverger and M , Devaux , pourtrayed by no intians unploaaingly some of those peculiarities of domestic life , which , if wo trusted dramatists only , . are \ ery clmractoris , tio of our neighbours , but which few of us would like to see naturulisod among us . On Wednesday , tho " Lever du Rideau" above mentioned was followed by a mild little farce entitled " Les Deux Timides , " in which wo uvo shown a pair of ' / muffs , " by Messrs . Charvel and Sevoy , tho one an absent father and the other a bashful lover , Mdlle . Lovely Tuoriu , aa the daughter of the former is compelled to cxerciso her wits to accomplish her own happiness , by bringing 1 her lover to ask and her iu ' ther to comprohend tho necessity of giving her in marriage . It is a light
| and amusing little piece . " Le Pour et le Contre , " also given on Wednesday , is another brief and clever sketch of married life , which . was exceedingly well performed by the talented company . Hanover Square Rooms .- —A numerous and fashionable company assembled on Tuesday night , at Miss Poole ' s Annual Concert .-The list of vocalists and instrumentalists included Madame Catherine Hayes , Madame Weiss , Miss Palmer , and Miss Manning . Mr . Weiss , Mr . Benson , Mr . J . L . Hatton , and Mr . Ranisden , Miss Freeth , Mr . Harold Thomas ( piano ) , Mr . H . Graeff Nicholls ( flute ) , and Sig . G . Regondi ( concertina ) . Miss Poole took a fair share in the work of the evening , and sang all that she undertook very charmingly , and was warmly applauded . Claribel ' s pleasing ballad , "I remember it , " Berger ' s song on the old proverb , " Better be off with the old love before 3 on * re on with the new , " were g-iven in Miss Poole ' s most charming style . Madame Catherine Haves , who was received with much applause , sang " The Foi'saken , " by . Gabriel , with deep feeling and effect , and was recalled . Miss Palmer produced a great impression by her exquisite singing of Wallace ' s song of " The Bellri-nger . " ' Mr . and Madame Weiss and Miss Manning , who wove in first-rate voise , finely sustained their respective portions of the programme . Miss Freeth is an admirable pianist , Mr . Nicholls a good flutist , and Sigv Regondi performed exceedingly well on the concertina . The concert was most pleasing and successful . Christy's Minstrels , who are now giving their farewell season at the Poly graphic Hall , produce a most attractive programme every evening . The entertainment which we get here is of a novel , pleasing , and admirable character , and we should hopa as successful to the popular Minstrels as it is gratifying to the company who crowd to hear them every night . The music is simple and pathetic , j and sung with so much feeling and taste as to produce a deep iin-! pression . The Burlesque Italian Opera is capitally done by these talented artistes , and there is besides plenty of fun and good joking kept up by them throughout the evening . The bill of fare presented by Creniorne on Monday last \ vas of a j varied and most attractive character and accordingly it was one of 1 the chief points of l'esprt for the pleasure-seekers on Whit Monday . j The management had spared no p ; iin 3 in their preparations for the ¦ fetes of the week , and in spite pf the unfavourable weather , so greatl y ^ attractive were the ^ umsements and entertaiiivnent provided in the gardens , that they were exceedingly well patronised on Monday .- The al-fresco ainuseineiTLts commenced at 3 o ' clock , with . a grand musical performance with the ae . rep . hpii . and brass band ; combined . This was followed by the most graceful gymnastic exea-cises by the Elliott family . There was then a vocal- concert , for which the best professional talent was secured . In the theatre j and the circus , in which the juvenile Delavanti appear , there are j admirable exhibitions of skill and talent to be enjoyed . The whole i of the day ' s entertainment terminated by a grand al-fresco ball , and I a delightful pyroteohnic display . We are not surprised ( hut Crei ihbrne is so famous , and visited by many thousands who are in search of amusement . Mr . John Parry , whose skill as a comic vocalist in the days ! when " entertainments" were comparatively unknown , and whose —taletrtr ^ ir «^ trasixiiaii-seven ^ ears ^ bseuration 4 ia 8-now-ise ^ ii « jnedJii _— - our recollection , is announced to appear at the Gallery of Illustration on Monday next , for the benefit of Mr . and Mrs , German Reed . We hope , for the sake of the many in whom old associations must induce to regard his re-entrie with satisfaction , that he may be encouraged to enter upon some more permanent engagement .
