[Grau will be taking over the French Theater, which Bateman has just vacated, and he will be presenting Offenbach’s Orphée aux Enfers with the New Orleans troupe, including MM. Alhaiza and Calabresi, and a new star female singer, Mlle Labelle. M. Edgard, a well-known comic, will perform the part of Jupiter.] “A new female star will be featured—daring to take Tostée’s place. And the part of Jupiter will be played by M. Edgard, an excellent comic who has played in many French productions for a long time.
La Grande Duchesse will be passing through New York and will be performing one matinée in Brooklyn.
It is said that Max Strakosch is negotiating with Jarrett and Palmer to mount Le Prophète at Niblo’s, in a very luxurious production.”
