Fanny Davenport bad a fine audience Monday evening—com posed of the beauty, Intelligence and oulture of the Prairie City. The play was Sbakspeare's comedy "As You Like It'*—and "How do yon like it?" came from many lips as tbe people passed out through the doors. The answers were notallcnm* pllmentary to the company, the author, or even the talented and beautiful star. In the character of "Rosalind" Fannj Davenport brings out a splendid physique, great beauty, intelligence and womanly earnestness. She is a woman of elegant and commanding preaenoe, with that sort of beauty In her face which comes rather from tbe intelligence which ablnea from within than from mere symmetry of feature. Every toneAnd gefcvnre and movement shows familiarity «jth the stage and stage necessities. In male attire her appearance is decidedly charming, and she looks to the life a pretty boy with whom it be very natural for any

Phoebe" to fail in love. But the play is so Improbable, the situations so transparently absurd, that the auditor can only be Interested in the bits of fine writing, and these, we are sorry to say, were not invariably well read—for which we are to blame most managers who surround a star with a lots of sticks, and stars consent, or at least acquiesce, in being a focus, instead of a prism. However, we don't know but the public is more to blame. Our people will rush to fill the Opera House when a star appears, while the manager of a well balanced company too often bas to get out of town with tbe money he brought with him. »,

An audience fair in aaze, ancl £hreefourths ladies, gathered at, Dow ling Hall Tuesday evening to hear Susan B. Anthony. It was a sensible and Instructive lecture—awakening slumbering thoughts in tbe minds of many present, and putting in shape crude and chaotic ideas on tbe question of woman suffrage. We bave not space for even a synopsis of tbe lecture, which was a masterly plea for the ballot as a means for securing' bread and for making woman independent of man forsnpport.

The complimentary concert to Miss Helen Jeffers on the eve of her departure for Cincinnati, was given at the Opera House Wednesday evening to an audience tair in numbers. Tbe programme announced was as follows:

Miss Annie Hyde was taken ill after coming to tbe Opera House, and could not sing Miss Dollie Milliken, so worn out with ber concert at Danville last week, could not -come down, and for some reason tbe duett of Miss Jeffers and M4ss Moore was omitted. Otherwise the programme was rendered as printed, and the talented beneficiary never sang more sweetly, and all who took part sustained tbe reputation they have made on Such frequent public appearances of recent date that we do not deem It necessary to speak of but two new candidates for pnbllc favor. One was Herman Flinching who astonished his friends with a remarkably fine solo on tbe clarionet, acoom pan led by tbe Ringgold orchestra. The other was Miss Lollie.Moore, daughter of Mrs.

S. E.

Moore, formerly of this city, now of St. Louis. -Miss Moore sbows a rare contralto voice of much power, and exquisitely sweet. She was reoeived with much entbusissm, and her efforts warmly applauded.

One word as to the stage management —or, rather, iaok of management. We don't know wbo is to blame, but the fault applies to almoat all home concerts. Tbe concert should bave commenced promptly at eight o'clock, and ended at ten,insteadof eleven. There was too muoh time occupied in going from one thing to another. Four times were the chairs, musio rests and mnsio carried in and carried off the stage. Fonr times did two young gentlemen move tbe piano to one aide, four times did tbey carry in fourteen music rests, fourteen chairs, and arrange fourteen pieces of music, and four times were all these removed. Ratber than occupy so much time, the tired audience would not have objected to seeing chairs and rests set to one side of the stage, or would even bave borne with the novel procession of each musician carrying off and on his own chair, rest and music. People behind tbe footlights should bear in mind that one minute to them seems ten to a tired audience, and henoe there should be a

TEBRE 11AUTE SATURDA EV EN"! NG-'Ma

dope study to eoonomiae tlouH-in short, to "ktep things moving." fW« do not .wish to be understood as singling ont this particular concert to apeak of this fault. We have spoken of it before, and similar remarks will probably not be out of plaoe at the next miscellaneous concert,

Other dntles tn the preparation of today's paper makes it impossible to give that attention wbioh it deserves to tbe rendition of the oratorio of tbe Messiah last night at tbe Opera House. But we can say this with truth, however, that never before was so grand a composition so well performed In this city. "It was very little better In Cincinnati," said a gentleman ooraing out of tbe Opera House at the close. "The Messiah" pictures the coming of Christ to God's people. It is a narrative In musio of tbe sublime aets connected with an event wbioh surpasses all others in the history of the world in point of interest to Christians. It is in a pure style, abounding in graphic epithets and rioh cadences, and while addressing itself to the reverent understanding andi the heart, it fills the ear with delioious melodies. Yet perhaps if we were called upon to say In what Its peculiar merit oonaists, we should say ita full and equable flow. There is nothing abrupt in it. Tbe oadences in it follow one another with such natural sequence, so Bmootb, so harmonious, and so full of earnest love that we are carried forward without ever pausing to measure our progress. The general tone of the work Is sober and oalm, There is no exaggeration of style or sentiment in it tbe province of oratorio is never forgotten, and fanciful twists and melodramatic effects,—the red fire and tawdry tinsel elements, are conspicuous by their absence. The vividness of simplicity and earnestness teaches the lesson' for which Handel strove, ratber than an attempt at ethical elaboration. Its succession of anthems remind one Of a triumphal prooesslon in an old bas-relief, with Its long train of viotors and captives—intermingled like lights and shadows—laden with arms and trophies in all the impresslveness of ancient warfare. ,, J, hm

Our Oratorio Society abounds In fine solo singers, and tbe solo parts last night were assigned to Miss Bertha Koopman, Mrs. A. L. Gould, Miss Anna Hyde, Mrs. C. R. Henderson, Mrs. Lou Grover, Mrs. Anton Shide, Messrs. Dan Davis, R. L. Alder and Charles McBride. They never sang better, and tbe performance of each was greeted with applause. We haven't tbe time to speak of eaob, and indeed individual mention would be unjust to the magnificent chorus of one hundred singers, eaob member of which has labored equally bard, and been eqnally interested in this crowning success. 't

Prof. Breinig had the orchestra in charge, and well did it do its work. Mrs. Haberly sat at the piano through the entire performance, and all the time the notes of that instrument sounded above the chorus and full orchestra. So prominent was it, so correct the time, so faithfully the difficult music interpreted, that it seemed she was leading instead of accompanying.'

Prof. Shide has reason to be proud of his success. If he isn't he should be. The work of such thorough drill In so large a chorus has never before been witnessed here. The lips of all seemed to hang upon his magic wand, and be bad only to direct such time or expression as tbe composition called for to get tbe desired effect.

We were more than pleased to see the large and cultured audience in attendance. It will euo rnrage the society, of which Terre Haute should be proud, to strive for still Kreater and more perfect work. A matinee performance will be given this afternoon and we hope to bear of another big audience.

Tbe Light Guards are rehearsing nightly for tbe extravaganza of Borneo and Juliet. It will be given at tbe Opera House next Weduesday, and tbe young gentlemen having it in preparation promise us tbe richest burlesque of tbe season. It abounds in original local bits, and the musical feature will be of no ordinary character. It is of the popular style and the text, situations, etc., of tbe most laughable character. The cos tumes have been made expressly for this play, and we learn that to put It on tbe stage will cost over two hundred dollars. We deem it unneoessary to urge our people to go, for there will without doubt be an immense audience assembled. The cast of characters will be found in another oolumn. The sale of seats, at tbe Oentral Bookstore, will commence Monday morning.

On Friday and Saturday tfvenings of next week the great New York snooess, "Almost a Life," will be produced at tbe Opera House with not only an extraordinary good company, bnt with an attention to detail that promises to make it a very brilliant attraction. Perhaps there has been no play in New York thus far this season that baa excited mora favorable comment than "Almost a Life," as given at tbe Standard Theatre for over three months, and then only withdrawn on account of a previous engagement for another play. It will be put upon the stage here with substantially the same cast as distinguished it In New York, and with new. and beautiful scenery, elegant accessories and mechanical effeote, The company includes Maud Granger, Emily IUgl, Gustavus Levick, Eben Plympton and Charles LeClercq, and of the pieoe itself the New York Evening Express |ately said "Almost I Life," produced at the Standard Theatre, is one of the moat absorbingly interesting plays aeen upon the local stage for along time. The au

dio uoe aat through tbe representation with bjreathlsas interest on the occasion of the Arst performance, and soingen ionsly constructed is thd plot that it was not until the final denouement that it was posMbip to divine It* solution. If "Almost a Life" does not secure a de elded and lasting success it will speak U1 for the taste of theatre-goers.

The Charlotte Thompson dramatic Company was booked this week to appear on tbe evenings of tbe 25tb and @8th.

Hon. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) writes us that his advance agent Josh E Ogden, will be here next Friday or Saturday to herald the ooming of the Buffalo Bill Combination two weeks from this evening. This company is muoh stronger than last season, and tbe new drama "The Knight of tbe Plains or, Buffalo Bill's Best Trail", fs Immensely popular. In it is introduced a great pralre fire scene, an overland mail coaob, performing donkey, and Buffalo gill's marvelous fancy shooting. Tbe company cornea all the way from Dayton, Ohio, to play here one evening, and then returns td Cincinnati, one week, where the oompany will disband, Buffalo Bill going^jijreat on a jooouting expedition.

For tbe eoming month, after Buffalo Bill on the 1st, we are to bave Modjeska on 'the 3rd, Nic)c Roberts Hompty Dumpty on the 8th, George S. Knights "Otto" on tbe 12tb, Mrs. Oates opera boulfe company on tbe 18tb, Uncle Tom's Cabip on the 25th and Bob Burdette, the "Hawkeye man," on tbe 28th. fajjj wm'* tt yl

Sam Lucas, comedian, with Sprague's Minstrels, is a resident of Wilmington, Ohio. He was presented with a fine gold-beaded cane at Cjlumbus.

Adah Richmond's burlesque "company was recently announced to appear at Memphis in tbe "Chimes of Normandy," upon which a local musical critic,solemnly stated in print that tbe occasion .would afford Mempblans an opportunity to bear "My Grandfather's Clock" for the first time. ,,

In the demonstrations'bpon the stftge of the element of affection, which includes, apparently, the warmest sort of embraces, kisses and tbe like, it isn't to be taken—at least in most cases—that tbey are other tlian professional. In this light a kiss may be as barren as ashes, and an embrace as cold as an iceberg. "You can't most always sometimes tell." .ju?'

A oheap substitute for a poor orchestra is commended to theatrical managers by tbe New York pspers, which deolare that the public bas grown so in musical taste that it will no longer submit patiently to tbe torturing exercises of wheezy brass horns and screeching cracked fiddles. The plan proposed is to clear away tbe whole orchestra, set up a good piano, and employ an artist of reputation and merit to tickle the educated public with Beethoven's symphonies and other classical selections. The idea is that there would be an increase in quality and a decrease in cost of tbe musio but it Is to bo doubted, despite tbe fine things said oi the high musical taste of Gotham audiences, if they would be as happy over tbe tlntlnabulations of tbe piano as they are now when the band begins to play, .*t»

It is really true that "Cool Burgess" the negro minstrel, bas taken tbe temperance pledge, Tbe N. Y. Mirror states that at the Gospel temperan^ meeting in Cooper Institute. Mr. Evans introduced the celebrated burnt cork artist, "Cool Burgess." This announcement was greeted by a perfect storm of applause. Waiting until it bad subsided, "Cool" said: "For thirty years I have been in the 'profession,' and it is not because I am a drunkard that I came up here, for I was never really drunk in my life* but 1 have been generally in a 'muddled' condition. S to avoid this, and for tbe sake of my large family, I now sign this pledge, and kaving been a drinker for years. I now propose to keep this for years." r: jf.

A Congregationalist is described by Dr. Shaw, of Rochester, as "a Presbyterian who bas left his catechism at home and forgotten where he laid it down."

Evangelist Pentecost told the women of Chicago that they ought neither to pray nor speak in the public meetings. This displeased them most grievously, and many of them bave turned their backs dn him and his cause,

Ordinary people speak of one who bas departed this life as having died. Not so, however, With tbe Rev. Flavius Jo sepbus Cook. He says in a lecture: "Here is a letter from William Cullen Bryant, written just before be was caught up into the Unseen Holy."

In the Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Chicago forty-three young men are preparing to be ministers. Five professors bave the charge of these young men, which gives each professor tbe charge of eight and three-fifths students. The prevailing impression is that tbe le&rnod professors are not overworked.

Chaplain McC&be, wbo is a devout and earnest Methodist, says that many of tbe "star" preachers of his chnroh rant and rear too much. He advises bis brethren, "Do not mistake thunder for lightning, and imagine that, a great deal of good is being done because you are roaring very loud."

Tbe Norri8town Herald tells us that it is now fashionable to take opera glasses to church and that tbe day is not far distant when the members of Mr. Talmage's Tabernacle will go out between acts to get a liquid clove to chew.

Dr. Adams, of tbe BMrst Congregational church of Fall River, Mass., has grievously offended many people by opposing tbe evangelists who have been conducting a revival there. He declared In tbe pulpit that he objected to Jibe machinery that they bring, and not to tbe evangelists themselves, and that those wbo attended the services worshipped the evangelist much more than tbey worshipped God.

The religious press is largely of the opinion that tbe stage is wicked beyond reformation. Tbe Christian Standard says: "All talk of elevating the tone of the drama by tbe attendance of Chris tians at tbe theatre is idle." The Christian Advocate remarks "There is so great risk in patronizing the theatre as it is that prudence says, 'Have nothiug to do with it.'" And tbe Evangical Messenger put? in itB word that: "It is unretormable." Tbe Christian Observer is of opinion that: "The dream oftbeatrioal purity is chimerical." The Standard adds: "The theater cannot be redeemed." And the Christian at Work puta in this clincher: "When things have got to such a state that an actor will not permit bis wife or children to visit the theatre without previously ascertaining the character of tbo play, It Is pretty clear that tbe devil is the active stage manager of tbe theatres, and has things pretty much hie own way."

A popular preacher in St. Louis, who is frequently called on to perform marriages, was recently engaged to marry a oouple at tbe residence of tbe bride. The company bad assembled, and everything was ready except that there was no minister. As the gentleman wbo bad promised to come failed to appear, another was sent for who happened to live near by. He performed the ceremony, and tbe absence of tbe other waa almost forgotten. A few days afterward the bridegroom met tbe clergyman whom he had engaged, and upbraided him for not coming. Tbe reverend man, wbo had forgotten all about it, stammered out several apologies, none of which were satisfactory. Finally he said: "It is always the custom of persons who expoct me to marry them to send a carriage to my house for me. If
