Perle-ole" at the Academy f
ii aula.
k The advent of the quondam Batsman troupe
Of French artistes at ibe Academy of Hailo last
etenlDg was maiked b aa unprecedented rash
Of the OBeabacbers to witneis the latest musical
Ocoentrldt; of the great opera bovjfe maestro,
It Is seldom that the Academy presents such au
animated scene, such a brilliant and crowded
array. Indeed, from tba tlaue that the door wa
thrown open nntll Ion a'.ter 8 o'clock, the
Ingle entrance was so densely crowded that it
was ImpoMlblo to gain admittance earc by run
nine; the rlbk of being crushed to death. Tnere
li oertainly a remedy for this statu of things,
and It Is to be hoped that Mr. Birgfeld, tuo
nuuingerof tho troupe, will tee that the ser
vices of another dooikceper ure secured for the
rtst of the week.
La Fericho'.e the latest and weakest of all
Offenbach's more pretmous productions whs
the attraction, being presented to a Pbila fclphtt
audience for the first time. The plot, which is
neither complicated nor elaborate, may bs
ketched briefly a folloas:
The Incidents aro supposed to take pUce In
the city of Lima, where ' La Pertcbole" and her
lover, 'Pequillo." iollonr the romantic but not
always remunerative profession of street
sincere. The Viceroy of Peru, "Don Andres 4
Blbolra," attracted by the beauty of the j?irl,
falls tn Ioto wivh ber. and tuduces bcr to desert
her lorer and enter hid palace. Two of the
noblemen of the court, however, remind the
Viceroy that it it against the lav for any but
named women to inhabit the palace, and tbey
mrs accordicgl c rd red, under various heavy
paint and penalties, to find a hn&bmd lor the
singer within half an hour. "Pequlllo" bavin?
been lalormod of "La Pcrluholu's" deser
tion of hi oi by a letter from ber, Is
engaged in making a serious attempt a',
hanging himself when the noblemen meet him,
and considering him a fit subject for their pur
pose, they get him lrtoxicated and persuade
him to marry the Viceroy's favorite. Heli
recognized by ''La Perlchole," who gladly
accepts him. for ber husband, but he is too
much be'uddled with drink to recognize her.
Whea "Pequillo" comes to his senses be finds
himself in the palace, but cannot tell bow he
got there. lie finally ascertains the facts of the
case, and Is taunted by the courtiers with
having married the Viceroy's mistress. Meeting
"La Pericbole," be Is indignant as well as
astonished to find that she I bis wife, and furi
ously uj braiding her for her falseness, he casts
her from him, and behaves In such a manner
that the Viceroy orders him to be thrown into
prison. "La Perlchole" pretends to be angry
With ' 'Pequillo," but exerts hetself to procure
his release. 8he then endeavors to convince
him tbat her conduct in tbe whole matter Is
perfectly blameless, and "Pequillo," finding
himself unable to resist her entreaties, accepts
her explanations and consents to forget and
forgive the past. Tbe singers then seek the
Viceroy and declare that they prefer the streets
to the palace, and that they desire to resume
their old profession. The Viceroy, having had
enough bother with the pair, readily consents
to their departure, and the affair ends to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
I Both the librettist and the composer appear
to have beeu depressed by the very flimsy
groundwork on which they were compelled to
-waste their energies, and tbe result reflects but
- ut ile credit on either. Neither the solo nor
L..ifarted parts display the rattling style of
O-enbacn to tne same au vantage as me omer
works by him to which we have listened here
tofore. At the end of each of tbe three acts,
the movement becomes both brl?k and brilliant)
after the true opera bouffe fashion; but just as
the sparkling Btrain of music and broad bur
lesque of action get fairly under way, and the
audience begin to recognize the hand of their
" favorite master, both are choked off by the
descent of the curtain. As a compensation for
this dearth of attractiveness, the whole affair,
in sentiment, language, and action, Is absolutely
a marvel of prudishneis, which, from beginning
. to end, is quite as fastidious and unobjection
able as Martha, the Bohemian Girl, or any
other grand opera of the highest-toned moral
achool.
But, such as It is, It Is rendered with all the
energy and vivacity at the command of the
Erie Kallroad troupe. Mad'lle Irma, surpassing
in her beauty and brilliant in her executlou.does
all tbat she can with tbe rote of "La Perlchole,"
and M. Aujac throws into that of "Piqulllo'' all
his strength of voice and carefulness of acting.
To M. Leduo Is allotted the part of "Don
Andres," the Viceroy, but the role is too ham
pered to permit him to display a tithe of his
Inimitable drollery. M. Lagriffoul la positively
tupld as the "Count of Panatellas," bat the
fault lies with Offenbach and the man who pre
pared the libretto. Under these depressing in
fluences, we do the best we era for La Terioho'.e
When we pronounce it, in comparison with La
Grande Luohtsse, La Belie Edene, and Barbe
lfue, a downright failure.
Robinson Crnaoe" at the Chesnnt.
Offenbach's comic opera ef Robinson Crusoe
was produced at tbe Chesnnt last evening by
the Galton troupe, for the first time in America
A fair audience was In attendance, notwith
standing the counter attraction at the Academy
of Musis, and there was a manifest desire to give
all due encouragement to tbe performers.
Jtobin$on Crusoe is an attempt something out
of Offenbach's usual line: it was a failure In
Paris, and It could tcarcely be expected to prove
a brilliant success here, except under very ex
centlonally favorable circumstances; and Miss
fii4im nhiin iha ta In rie nommended for en-
I deavorinz to Introduce novelties, and to vary
her programme as much as possible, has rather
l made an error or juagment in mis case.
1 The story of "Robinson CrOBoe," which every
1 schoolboy knows by heart, is followed closely
9 enough for operatto purposes; but the hero of
the desert Island is provided with a lady-love,
"hn start nnfc rtn u iaarib in Mm and ta
rinally united to him, after passing through a
variety of perilous adventures. One great
( difficulty, it, that the subject is one not very
well suited for musical illustration. The work
U called a comic opera; but as far aa the general
ct Is concerned, a great deal of It might be
Called tragedy, and very heavy traced? at that.
Jioblnson Crusoe Is an eflort in a different lino
Of art from tuat in which Offenbach has won
his greatest euccesset; and in abandoning bur
lesque, and attempting a work of more complex
Character loan mote which have won him
popularity, he has apparently overtasked his
powers and hampered himself with an uncon
genial subject. The music Is more elaborate
a id more carefully written than that of any of
fcU previous works. There are several really
beautiful airs and ooaoerted pieces, but the
general affect Is not satisfactory, and the piece
lacks the animation, life, and sparkle of tbe
opera bouffe, while It Is scarcely entitled to rank
with the legitimate comio operas. One of tho
airs, " know be lovei me sloocrely," has be-a
sung by Miss Oalton before la tbe operetta ot
"C8." Which of the two pieces it really belongs
to we are unablo to state.
In this Instance, at ia that of La StmnamWa,
MIh (Jalton bas been obliged to b3ar the weight
of the good or evil fortunes of tbe piece oa bcr
own shoulders, as her conpaiy it not stronsj
euouirb to givo her any msterlal assistance. As
"Ed-vldge" sbo sang and acted with much graoa
and feeling, and It Is a matter for sincere regret
that ehe is uot able to appear before the publto
urdor more favorable circumstances. Mr.
Whiflln, who is really an excelieut comoJlan,
was not fitted with a part woll suited to him In
,,Roblr.tonCrasoe,"aod bit per'onnauoc, there
fore, was not a plotmDir. as usuil. There were
some difenereemonts between tbe orchestra and
tho singers last evening, and the necessity for
more careful rehesr-ali was apparent. Mis
Galton and her troupe appear to much more
advantage In tbe littht comedietta wbioh fir.it
tecured the favor of tbe public, an I s'le is not
likely to achieve any preat success in more
elaborate pieces unices the can secure a com
petent supporting forco.
riio l:nirrnld ! at the Vfnlnnt.
Ins-t evening John Brougham's Irish drama of
7tie Lnvra d Eing was produced at tbe Walnut,
There are few belter play-writers living turn
John Brougham, althosgb he does not always
write good plays, but even about his wont
efforts there h a heartiness, a fine bumoiou
feeling, and an air of romance tbat mnke them
attractive in spite of their deficiencies. Even in
his titles Mr. Brouhnni has An eye for effect,
and lhe Emerald Ming, being an Irish drama,
of course suggests the Emerald lile and intro
duces us to the subject-matter at once. This
play, although not the best that Mr. Brouhirn
has written, and indicating very clearly that the
main ideas of the author wero to fit Mr. aud Mrs.
Williams with characters suited to them aud t
Interebt the audience by a highly spiced story
and startling incidents, is by no means the wont
oi its class. The story is romantic, although
ratber antiquated, but on the whole U Is well
told, and has enough fun in it to make the
audience laugh, and enough black and despe
rate villainy to make them feel particularly
virtuous In comparison with the scoundrels
who come to grier, of course, before the U of
the curtain. Tbe plot of The Emerald Ring
may be stated as follows:
A shipwreck, caused by false lights upon the
headlands, Introduces us to home of the princl
pal characters of the piece. AH on board
perish except a mother and herinfaat daughter,
who are rescued by "Mike Maearty," the son of
the light house keeper. Tbe mother dies
without revealing her name, and an emerald
ring is the only clue to the identity of the
daugbter, who is adopted by the light house
keeper, and grows up Ju his family, When about
nineteen years old, one of the wreckers who
bad been instrumental ia cauaiog the ship
wreck wishes to marry her, but being repulsed
be determines upon revenge, more especially as
be perceives tbat ber affcctlous aro bestowed
upon nls natural enemy, toe captain of the
coast guard. An advertisement offering a
reward of 00 for information regarding the
fate of the missing maid attracts bis attention,
and on making a visit of inquiry to the mansion
of "Sir Oscar Nelll," he sees the portrait of the
deceased lady, wlto. an emerald ring on her
finger, which convinces him that "Geraldine,"
the castaway girl, is the daughter ot "Sir
Oscnr." He also becomes acquainted with
"Sydney Loftus," the nephew of the baronet, a
dissolute young man, who will inherit the
estate in the absence of any nearer heir.
"Loftus" hears his story, and promises to pay
him one thousand pounds to secure tbe emerald
ring and destroy the girl. While this
plot Is beiug carried on, however.
Sir Oscar'' becomes informed of the fate of
his wife and daughter through "Mike" and
"Maggie Maearty," and ha immediately sets
out for tbe scene of the shipwreck to claim his
child. The wrecker, meanwhile, actuated by
revenge and a love of gain, prepares to entrap
Geraldine," and succeeds in getting her and
her lover, the captain of the coast guard, in a
position where no succor can reach them, and
makes them captive. The emerald ring Is
lorced from "Geraldine," and she is then
tied to a rock, and left there,
to be submerged by the rising
tide. Just as the girl's situation is becoming
desperate, "Maggie" ruts off in a boat and
rescues her, and the lover, too, succeeds In
making his erenpe. The father and daughter
are reunited, and her hand is bestowed upon
tbe handsome young coast guardsman. The
whole party then set off for Dublin, and tbe
would-be murderers are confronted with their
victims alive and well. The villains of course
receive the just punishment for their misdeeds,
and the lovers live in felicity "until," as the
tales of Shcherazade always conclude, "they
were visited by the terminator of delights and
the separator of companions."
"Mike" and "Magglo Maearty" are, of course,
the most prominent figures In the piece, tbe
story and the other characters being merely to
set them off to advantage. Tbe Irishmen of
Mr. Williams are all alike, and totally uulike
anything else under tbe sun, and "Mike
Maearty" does not differ in any essential par
ticular from the "Pats," "Barneys," "Ter
rences," and "Larrjs" that form the glorious
roll of bis predecessors, lie swings a shlllelan,
dances a jg, and goes through with all the
mot Ions and grimaces which constitute the stock
in trade of the genuine stage Hibernian, but
which would certainly consign to a lunatic
asylum any frolicsome son of Erin who should
attempt them in real life. The audience, how
ever, was pleased; so why should we bother
about the .artistic deficiencies of such things?
Mrs. Williams, who is the best actor of ths pair
by far, as "Maggie Mcarty" gave one of her
lively, rattling personutious, which bad the
merit of being amusing at least.
Tbe bst acting In the play, however, was
that of Mr. Walcot In the part of "Ralph
Deadlight," the ringleader of the wreckers, and
the chiet villain of the piece. Mr, Walcot's
"make-up" was gooJ, and he played with much
power and expression, lhe Emerald Ring Is
well placed upon tbe stage at tho Walnut; some
of the scenery la very good, aud the incidents
ot the storm and shipwreck iu the prolsgue,
and the girl bound to tho rock, in the second
act, In particular, were effectively rendored.
There were fewer balks last night than usual
on Bra performance, and In future matters will
doubtless progrtcs even more smoothly.

We ars often asked wbj aro not other reme
dies In tbe market for Consumption, Coughs,
Colds, and other Pulmonary affections equal
to Dr. L. Q. C. WISHART'S PINB 1&KE TAB
CORDIAL t We answer
1. It cures not by stopping oongh, bnt by
loosening and assisting nature to throw off the
unhealthy matter colleoted about the throat
and bronohlal tubes, causing irritation and
oongh.
2. Most Throat and Lnnff Kemetlcs are
compoped of anodynes, which allay the oongh
for awhile, bnt by their oonstringent effects,
the fibres become hardened, and the unhealthy
fluids coagulate and are retained in the sys
tem, causing disease beyond the control of
our most eminent physicians.
3. The I'lte Tree Tar .Cordial, with its
Assistants, are preferable, beoaucia they re
move the cacsk of irritation of the muooua
membrane and bronchial tubes, asalst the
lungs to aot and throw off the unhealthy se
cretions, and purify the blood, thus scientifically
making (he cure perfect.

DYSPEPSIA I I)SPi;PSl4 !
Dr. Wiphakt: I have been a constant
sn-erer with dyspepsia lor the last eighteen
years, during which time I caunot say I ever
enjoyed a perfectly well day. There were
times when the symptoms were more aggra
vated than at others, and then it seemed it
would be a great relief to die. I had at all
times an unpleasant feeling in my head, but
latterly my sufferings so much Increased that
I became almost unfit for business of any kind;
my mind was continually filled with gloomy
thoughts and forebodings, and If I attempted
to change their current by reading, at once a
sensation of icy coldness, in connection with a
dead weight, aa it were, rested upon my brain;
alrso a feeling of sickness would oocur at the
stomach, and great pain in my eyes, accom
panied with which was the continual fear of
losing my reason. I also experienced great
lassitude, debility, and nervousness, wbioh
made it difficult to walk by day or sleep by
night. I became averse to society, and dis
posed only to seoiuslon, and having tried the
skill of a number of eminent physicians of
various schools, finally came to tne conclusion
that for the disease at my present age (forty
five years) there was no cure in existence.
Dut, through the interference of Divine Provi
denoe, to whom I devoutly oiler my thanks, I
at last found a sovereign remedy in your Dys
pepsia Pills and Tar Cordial, which seem to
have effectually removed almost the last trace
of my long list of ailments and bad feelings,
and tn their place health, pleasure, and con
tentment are my every-day companion..
