In Fabio Romani, which was presented last evening to good attendance, the management has secured an attraction of more than ordinary strength, and one which cannot be too lavishly praised. It is a melodrama, with sense and consistency, as well as undeniable power and unflagging interest. It is full of interesting dramatic scènes which grapple fast to the heartstrings, while the comedy, which comes in naturally, is not only genuine but appropriate. The piece was splendidly set, and the great earthquake effect in the last act, coupled with a simultaneous eruption of Mount Yesuvius, was wonderfully thrilling and realistic. The plot starts with the deception of a husband, who is buried alive, (but revives and escapes from the tomb) by his wife and best friend, and the punishment meted out to the erring pair by fhat husband is a truly effective theme, and one which the dramatists have worked out nobly. As for the performance, not a word can be said Grand opera house, Feb. 2.
