THE DUVALLI TROUPE.
The sisters Duvalli repeated their entertainment yesterday evening to a meagre audience. The pieces provided were " A Dream of Love " (we believe we are right in the title though it was hot so set down in the programme) and '• A Jtfight amongst the Brigands." The plots, if such they could could be called, were of the most flimsy description, and the dialogue which served to introduce the songs and dances might with great advantage have been purged from the constant use of expletives-in reference to .-his Satanic majesty, &c, in which Mr Hall indulged. The songs were very good, one in particular, by Miss Heloise Duvalli, the burden of which was "It is funny when you feel that way," being deservedly encored. Two quartettes also are worthy of mention. The dancing was decidedly the best. part of the evening's amusement; it was well worLh seeing, and certainly deserved, as a vehicle of introduction, bettor pieces, or perhaps, if such things which seem to have neither aim nor object in view, can be called plays. We may particularly mention the pas de deux by the Sisters Duvalli, which was light, graceful, and pleasing. On Friday night the Sisters Duvalli take a benefit, and the famous Can-Can will be introduced.
