AMUSEMENTS. rni.iN-A, on The African Prix ckss. This new onera-bouffe extrava ganza was produced last evening, by the Hvres Sisters Combination, at Met-! ropolitan hall, and was enthusiastically i received bv the large audience present. J Tin nlot mav he briefly explained as follews: Kiaba Kima Kenia is a usurp- j ing king of some African tribe, who has banished the rightful neirio uie throne, the Princess Urlina, from her infancy. tn n divert inland, with no other attend ant but her maid Xubiana. Prince Zur- leska is the son of the usurper, and is a I brave, harum-scarum young fellow. Buddha (ilia is? an Obi women or witch, who hates the king for injuries inflicted upon her family years before, and is continually plotting against him with the help of evil spirits. She tells Prince Zurlctka the story of the captive prin cess, and shows her to him m a vision ; he falls in love with Urlina and vows to rescue her. The plan of the witch is to humiliate the king and place the prin cess upon the throne, and thus satisfy her vengeance. Zurleska finds the prin cess and takes her from the island, but upon entering his father's kingdom, he and hi friend Kokolah, with the prin cess and her maid, are captured by the king's soldiers for treason in plotting against their monarch, before whom they are brought, and notwithstanding the" tears and entreaties of Queen Ludda Kester. they are doomed to slow starva tion in prison, with the exception of Ko kolah, w ho, disguised as Lord Prosperus, a traveler, greatly tickles the king's si iii. an Irish missionary, is successful in liberating the prince and princess, when the latter is restored to ner rigntiui pos sessions, whereby the wicked king is discomfited. Miss Anna livers, the favorite soprano of this company, enacted the role of the heroine Urlina in a manner that left but little to be desired. Her appearance was modest and unassuming, and she sang her numbers with true feeling; her ac tion and manner were most graceful, and these, qualities, hightened by emi nently appropriate costume and orna ments, caused this young lady to make a highly favorable impression as the demi savagc though gentle princess. Her solo in the second act was very sweetly performed. Miss Emma livers, contralto, as Prince Zurleska, proved herself not only a fine vocalist, but a sprightly and pleasing actress of the soubrette style; she was vivacious, boyish and dashing; both her singing and action was in all parts most intelligently and competently rendered. Mr. John W. Luca, baritone, played king, and appeared to considerable ad vantage in his singing, especially in the song to Bacchus. Mr. Wallace King, the popular tenor, fihed the part of'Boobali, the king's jester, with much credit, both in acting and singing. His rendition of the recitative and air "The moonlight falls on castle walls,' was deservedly encored, and this number may be termed the gem of the work. The part of the witch was decidedly well performed by Miss Dora King, a mezzo soprano, who delivered 3ier lines with much intelligence and harmonious action. She sustained a part in the trio between the king, Booban and the witch most creditably. v v Miss Grace Overall is a most vivacious young lady of pleasant appearance, who presented the characters of Kokola and Lord Prosperus with considerable ener getic "snap.' In the second act she sang a middle soprano song very nicely and received much applause. Miss F. Fowl made a very nice look ing queen consort to old Kenia, and ex hibited a very pleasing voice m the musical appeal before the throne for the life of her son the prince. Lots of fun was created by Mr. Willie Lyle. as Xubiana, the. strapping maid to tlfe princess, and Billy Kersands (he of the little ( ?) mouth), who fills six differ ent characters. Xubiana is a most ath letic "gusher' and the imitations of female idiosyncrasies, especially in jeal ous love and curiosity, are portrayed in the usual graphic manner peculiar to this artist, and his efforts occasioned great merriment. Hilly Kersands, whether as the African Irishman, or his anxious wife, Tin Ear the musical Chinaman, Jumbo, the pet monkey, the friendly "fetish" man or the wonderful terpsichorean ostrich, performed each part with an energy pe culiar his own, and provoked frequent ebulitions of pleasure from the audi ence. The work as a whole possesses con siderable value in itself, and has many novel features that are really pleasing. The music is meritorious, hut does not possess the peculiar pungency and light ness common to extravaganzas, but would be more acceptable in real opera, sans the boujfc The. concerted pieces and chorouses are well conceived and excellently rendered by the company. The costumes are beautitul and appropri ate, and this greatly enhances the novelty of colored actors appearing as native Africans. The appearance of the colored warriors of the king, all well-built, muscular fellows, in the scanty but becoming costume, is not the least pleasing effect apparent in the piece. This extravaganza will without doubt prove a "bonanza" to the manage ment. The opera will be. repeated this even ing, and all who have not seen it must avail themselves of this opportunity, as this is the last appearance of this com panv in this city. On Sunday morning they take the steamer Ordway for Port land, where they open on Monday eve ning, at the Xew Market theatre. We congratulate the Portlanders on the treat they have in store.
