Taken as w' whole, Gizofë-Girofla must be placed amongst the most successful, performances of the Company. The dresses were again very good, most of them haug new, and no fault need be found with the Bauery. Although the part played by Mr Vernon (Mourzonk) is intended for a baritone singer, yet the popular tenor has seldom been more eassessful and amusing in his representations than he was ou Saturday night. The "make-up,” as is commonly the case with Mr Vernon, was wonderful and his representation generally of the Berce Moor was unquestionably a very clever one-a fast to which the audience fully testified by their frequent and hearty applause. Miss Misy" appeared to have re- covered from ber indisposition, and maxig and played with her customary spirit and воспева. In the champagne song, which was splendidly rendered, she received an enthusiastic encore. Mr Rollings and Mr Hageman had very little to do, but that little was, however, pretty well done. Mina Clara Stanley as usual secured a considerable share of the popular favour by her charming appearance and clever acting, while the parts undertaken by the Miases Dranger, ill Mr. Hodson and the choristers were sil creditably randared.
