“Amusements. Last Night of the Barber.—Mr. Draper’s Italian troupe will give the ‘Barber of Seville’ tonight for the last time. The representation is quite satisfactory. Mme. Boschetti is an artist of rare excellence, great grace and much vocal and dramatic power. Formes, Barilli and Orlandini are above the average in merit. The orchestral force is inadequate, but the performance is well worth seeing and hearing.”
