GREAT THEATRICAL AND Musical REVIVAL
Within couple of weeks past there has been some
thing OF decline IN the theatrical and musical ex-
citemen which had pervaded all classes of the CON-
munity at the time when the Keans were playinp
their former engagement at the Park, and Leopold
de Meyer, Tsmpeton and Ole Bull were deliehting
the ears of the city with their sweet and powerful
music. The decline, AT the Park, was probably
owing TO the ineficiency of the troupe who were
associated with Miss Delcy But the return Of the
Keans to the Park, has impaired new life to The
play-going community. and stimulated the mana
gers Of the other Theatres 10 extra exer,ons for the
satisfaction OF their patrons excepting at the ''cheap
and nasty" theatres which are still dealing out to
the newsboys, who stray away from home, small
doses Of blood, fury and nonsense


At the Park, the purely classical, and richly beau
tlfu tragedy OF Ion" was presented on Monday eve.
ming, with Mrs. Kean the hero, Cor heroine,
which , and Mr. Charles Kean as the King The
house was crowded to its fullest capacity. There
were probably between eighteen hundred and two
thousand persons in the house-the receipts from
whom We're nearly fifteen hundred dollars AT the
Bowery, where spirit of just emulation had influ-
enced the enterprlsng manager to produce the same
play, with the strong cast of Mrs. Shaw and Mr.
Scott as Ion and Adrastus, there were about thiry-
two hundred persons. The receipts from these must
have been over one thousand dollars. In addition
TO the success Of the pure drama we find the Ger
man opera, which was commenced on Monday eve
ming, at Palmos, patronised to an extent which ex-
ceeded the most sanguine hopes and expectations
that had been entertained with regard its success
There were about seven hundred persons in the
house. from whom probably received between
seven and nine hundred dollars.


Here, then, we have, az the three principal thea
tres, receipt, in single night of over three
thousand dollars. Atthe minor theatres, and other
places Of amusement, where farce, folly DIRT subj.
nifty and workmanship all mixed up together,
probably thousand more We're received, exhibiting
an amount OF over four thousand dollars, paid for
theatrical amusement in one evening in New York.


This state OF things exhibits sudden revival Of
the legitimate drama and the legitimate OPERA and
speaks well for the discrimination OF the New York
ers, who always winnow the chatf from the wheat,
and patronse true genius, either IN the author or
the artist.
