DAVYS' BRIGHT LIGHTS
Tnu company opeted at the Academy o! Mirtic here last night, and they fully eus» tai'ied the. reputation ior variety and vivacity which had preceded them. There was no falling off from first, to last in the programme, which waa a succession,- of ontertainin?. and diverting , items. First there ivaa a farcicnl comedy, in which Miss Georgie Devoe, as Bat c y Blob 3 (the Slavey), and Mr J. Tudor, as Bsnjamin Briimmy (her lover and a fashionable to boot) had the parts with the most points in i them, and thtsa they both turned to excellenc account, At the same time Miss May, Mr Dayys, and Air Friz made effootive contributions to the jjeneral success of the piece, which took, very well with the audience, Ihe incidental songs were capitally given, and by the time the piece was over the audience felt satisfied that" Bright Lights'' was not at all aG iwappropriate name for the company. All that followed fully unstained the opinion thus formed; and the singing and dancing o.' Mis* Devoe and Mr Davys, the German, and Dutch fongs, and lha Swiss yodelling of MiFritz, Miss May's ballad singinjr, and tin comic gpepiultiw and. picturesque dances rendered by Miss Devoo and Mr ludor, give, on (ho one liand, a great deal of enjoyment to the nndianoe, while on the other they secured for the performers ronnd upau round of applause, and more encores than with reasonable convenience could be given. The American fantoccini or marionettes created great fun, and the entortiium6nt closed witb n transformation scene of very grea : heanty-iu fact, ths finest scan in jflew Zeilimcl for »• long time, With limelight effect*, the emieral result produced by the varied and beautifully blended colonrs was matYelloa3ly fine. This evdnin;' there will is au entire chuige of programme, and as the company has hit tho public taste, it may safely expect gopd houses ,for the re«. of its short season at the Aciclemy, All accounts owing to the firm of Creamer 'nbd liullfit nmst lie settled before the 13A jnat, qr legal proceeding* win bo taken lo recover Funio.—E 1 , .
