The Theodore Thomas Concert

The strong artistic face of Theodore Tbomas, wherever seen, brings back to musical people memories of niany happy hours spent under the spell of his magie baton. It reminds one of the great treat in store for us next Monday evening. As is well known lie will give the lirst concert in the Choral Union series this season, and we predict a larger crowd than listened to liim a number of years ago, when he appeared under the auspices of the graduating class in University hall at a conimeneement concert. His present orchestra, in the opinión oí competent critica, is superior to any of his former organizations, and his programme is a very attractive one indeed. When we look at the prospectus of the Cboral Union series and see Theodore Thomas and Arthur Nikisch's names it seems as though we had reached the liighest point possible in the line of concerts, but in addition to these two great conductora and their orchestras we have a great pianist, and tliat prime favorito here, Max Ileinrich, besides two great chorus concerts. We sincerely trust tliat the sale of tickets will be so large that University hall will be packed. Secure tickets immediately is the duty of all who believe that enterprise and hard work should be rewarded. We print programme below: I'UIT I. Overturu. Freyschaet.

Rhea'a SUCCesSiUl historie;) I play, wbicb oppears at the opera house, Wednesday evening next, all the interest in ie i'liiiracifi's that flgured in ttaose stirring timps between the divorce of Josephine from Napoleon Bonaparte and tlie ioimer's dcalli. are saiil to bb very eleverly outlioed by the anthorof the play, Albert Roland Haven. Napoleon is sliown in all tlie strengtli of liis imperious, domineering, umbitions raanbood; Josepbine in all tbe nobility of ber patriotism and sympatbetic and loyal yvoinanbood. Slie is represented as loving Napoleon well, bnt France and the Emperor more. Talleyrand is shown as he was- a diplomatic schemer wliose brain never seetns to weary of intrigue.' Tbe oharacter of tbe valiant Murat is eleverly cut, as are also tbose of tbe wily Foucbe, the devoted son Eugene, the raiscbief-niaking Paulina. Bonaparte, the heartless second Empress, Marie Louise. of Austria, and tlie good natured Duke of Dantzig. A new alloy of lead, which is almost unattacked by acid, has been invented by Wurms. lts composition is 945 parts of lead, 22 parts of antimony, and 13 of mcrcury.
