ge-business
had taken her in the previous Act, in order to receive her share of
the plaudits. We hear that SARAH has accepted a One-Act piece called
_Salammbo_, by OSCAR WILDE. Naturally we all see SARAH in the first
part of _Sal_. Perhaps the "_ambo_" means SARAH and OSCAR. Being an
Eastern subject, SARAH sees the chance in it of a Sara-scenic success.
On Saturday last, with her wonderful _La Tosca_ in the afternoon, and
her _Dame aux Camelias_ (the "O'Camelias" sounds like an Irish title)
at night, SARAH regularly "knocked them" in the Shaftesbury Avenue.
No one interested in dramatic art should miss seeing SARAH, at all
events, in _La Dame aux Camelias_.

PARTICULAR AND GENERAL RELATIONSHIP.--Mr. GEORGE CURZON, as the
_Saturday Review_ remarks in its notice of _Curzon's Persia_, "is
not the first of his family who has written a good book of Eastern
travel." The author, then, is not a first, but a second, or third
CURZON, and this particular work of authorship creates a new kinship,
as his travels are, now, related to the public.

OPERATIC NOTES.

her lover. Alas! all ends unharpily!]

_Wednesday._--The Irish Question, heard for the first time
operatically, put by The O'WAGNER in his music-story of "_Tristan und
Isolde_." The story is decidedly a _triste 'un and is old_ no doubt
of it. Frau SUCHER first rate as the Irish Princess _Isolde_. Herr
ALVARY plays _Her Tristan_; good, but not great. All vary well. As
_Kurwenal_, Herr KNAPP, in spite of his name, kept everyone awake,
and did his very best; in fact, "went Knapp."

Fraeulein RALPH was charming as _Braugaene_, and her manner of
inducing the Princess of the Most Distressful Country to take to the
bottle--KINAHAN's L.L.L.--deserved the encore which she ought to have
received. No matter--Fraeulein RALPH played with spirit, which is a
dangerous thing to do as a rule. House crammed: not packed.

_Thursday._--Long live the _Don_! _Vive_ MOZART! _Don Giovanni's_
taste as to ladies changed as he grew older. The two musical Duchesses
who accompany _Don Ottavio_ when he is singing are usually, f
