THE PASSING SHOW.
PLAYS AND PLATERS
"The Planter's Wife," played by Miss Charlotte Thompson, at the Opera House, Wednesday evening, pleased a large and appreciative audience. Miss Thompson is of the emotional school, always thoroughly in earnest in trying scenes so passionately strong and realistic that she carries her audience by storm. She has admirable support in Mr. Joseph Wheelock, who does some very good acting in the second, third and fourth acts. The company throughout was as good as can be expected. *1
Drapers Uncle Tom's Cabin combination played at the Opera House last night to a fair sized andience—and apparently a well pleased one. There is something about this great drama of lowly life that attracts, no matter how frequently it is played. It will be given this afternoon, and again in the evening, when there will be usual Saturday night Uncle Tom crowd.
On Monday evening we are to have "Our Gobbling," by Mitchell's Pleasure Party, led by that excellent .Comedian, William Gill. The Chicago Inter Ocean says the new version of "Our Goblins" is a decided improvement on that heretofore presented. The pieoo is now divided into three acts, the first being made the vehicle for the introduction of a funny burlesque of the modern society drama, while the others deal with the experiences of a party of American tourists in Germany, and the extraordinary dream which resulted from one member of the party partaking too freely of champagne. A liberal amount of new and popular music is introduced, and the entertainment is of an ogfjfr that can be commended. *,Vsi
On Thursday evening Mr. Frederick Warde, supported by a strong company will present Shakespeare's grand tragedy of "Othello." Mr. Warde will be remembered for his strong presentation of Marc Antony when he played here with Lawrence Barrett and Davenport. We have before us such enthusiastic press notices that it is safe for lovers of tbe legitimate drama to anticipate a performance of rare men'.
Hughey Dougherty, the great end man, is said to be far superior to the original George S. Knight, in hia imitation of the fit scene. Hughey, while out with a party of friends, recently, did the business so well that he had his friends running all over the house for restoratives, while a doctor was dispatched for, post haste.
Rival theatrical companies got Into litigation, in Oregon, one seeking an injunction to restrain the other from producing apiece made up almost altogether of ballot and tableaux. Judge Deady denied the motion. "This seems," he said, "to be merely an exhibition of women in novel dress or no dress, and in attractive attitudes or action. The closing scene is called 'Paradise,' and, as witness Hamilton expresses it, consists mainly 'of women lying about loose'-—a sort of Mohammedan paradise, I suppose, with imitation grottoes and unmaidenly houris. To call such a spectacle a 'dramatic composition' is an abuse of language, and an insult to the genius of the English drama. A menagerie of wild beasts might as justly be called a dramatic composition. In my judgment, an exhibition of women 'lying about loose,' or otherwise, is not a dramatic composition, and therefore not entitled to the protection of the copyright."
The New York Mercury, the leading dramatic paper coming to our table says that, after years of repose, tragedy and melodrama have again asserted their power with theatre patrons, and are gradually sweeping tho "Pink Dominoes" and "Champagne and Oyster" type of rubbish from the American stage. This is gratifying to the true friends of the drama, because the revival of sterling theatrical works will give a much-needed impetus to acting which, of late years, baa fallen into comparative disuse. Milliners, decorators, upholsterers, costumers and machinists have fbr along time been utilised as substitutes for what has nearly become a lost art. Managers, as a rule have appealed to the popular eye, rather than to the popular intellect, consequently tbe stage has been usurped by pretentious butterflies, and actors and actresses have been compelled to devote more time to costly dressing than to needed study.

It is reported that Morlachi, the danseuse, is in Lowell, Mass., partly insane. Sorrow in the death of her husband (Texas Jack) andspiritualistic influences occasioned tbe disorder.

Twenty odd years ago New York supported five minstrel troupes—Christy's, Wood's, Bryant's, Buckley's Serenaders, and Charley White's in the Bowery. All these have dwindled down to one— the San Francisco troupe. Birch and Backus are probably the oldest, if not the best, performers in the country.

.WE ARE NOW
GENUINE SINGER «ALWAYS AHEAD!
It has always stood at the head, acknowledged to be superior to all others and continues to secure new laurels, as will be seen by the award at the Indiana State Fair in 1881. The old reliable Singer carries off the only premiums awarded Sewing Machines, over eight competiors.
From Indianapolis News,
The Singer sewing machine folks at this point are in hign feather over the weight of honors heaped upon them at the fair, having carried off the only premium awarded their class among eight competitors. No one present at the fair needs to be told that the general ensemble of their display was very fine. They claim to have won the day wherever they have cared to enter the lists. Certain it is that the record of their sales turned in the past year was very remarkable if tbat Is the accepted gauge of ^optJlarity, 588,609 machines, an increase over the jprevious year of 107,422. Tho increase alone would look to the jjrdiAary view like a large business year, tyeft the singer people announce a still farther increase the present year over tho high figure above.
