A Humoroaa Description of the
" filaok. Crook.”
We are indebted to our valued cor
respondent “ idnratter 1 * Tor the folfcrir
ing description at the scenic tpeetaclc
of the “ Black Crook,” as it appeared
to him upon the occasion of a recant
visit • o witness ita representation:
I thought it waa doing the “ square”
thing to see Philadelphia. I have for
saken my crooked wajs since I left Bos
ton. Speaking of crooks, I’ve seen the
Black Crook, and, with the exception of
the elbow crook, it is the most popular
crook in New,York.
It is advertised in the New York
Herald editorial columns, and by min
isters at the Cooper Institute.
Yon, in the innocence of yonr Puri
tanical Boston heart, suppose the Black
Crook to be a shepherd’s crook of that
color ; nothing of the sort—it's a dark
coraplexioned sorcerer, with an affliction
similar to the same blessing enjoyed by
Richard No. 111.
The Black Crook is played at Niblo’s,
so-called because it’s kept by Wallack.
Price of reserved seats one dollar and
fifty cents.
All the seats (hat you cau see from,
and several that you cannot, are “ re
served.” All the good seats are sold in
advance —principally to speculators and
hotels, who re-sell, consequently the real
price to see “ the crook” is two dollars
and upwards. The “bare” mention of
the crook has attracted crowds—it is
principally a leg-end-ary dramn, although
there is more seen of the ballet troupe
than ever before in another piece.
The revelatious are startling. The
success of the Crook has been detrimen
tal to other places of amusement. The
Anatomical Museum ami model artistes
are losing many of their best custom
ers.
A petition is in preparation among
the medical fraternity to have the name
of Niblo’s changed to the New York
Academy of Anatomy.
But to the play.
It was announced to commence at
halt-past seven, P. M. The performance
commenced by music from the orchestra,
enlivened by frantic rushes of ushers and
different groups ot spectators to different
parts of the house, interspersed with
growls from dissatisfied rustics who
could u t get any seats below stairs.
I had a ‘‘reserved seat,” and so kept
cool amid the excitement. My seat was
the extreme rear one on the outer edge
ot the auditorium and partially occupied
by an iron post —it "Was also situated
equidistant between three open doors
and two open windows.
I maintained my coolness throughout
the whole of the exciting performance.
At twenty minutes to eight a stam
pede of outsiders with camp stools, took
place, to vacant spaces about the par.
quet. A lew smashed bonnets and black
eyes, caused by the carelessness ol the
stool holders, added to the liveliness ot
the scene. At quarter to eight the cur
tain drew up, and my attention was
agreeably occupied, the uext quarter of
an hour, by such occasional glimpses of
the scene as were not interrupted by
the arrival of people who were late.
The first scene revealed a village at
the foot of the Hartz Mountains, quite
a densely populated village, judging
from the number of inhabitants who
appeared.
Os course there was a peasant s dance
and various other dances, in which the
costume ot the Hartz mountaineers,
could be studied to advantage.
Hartz is evidently a corruption of
Hot*, judging from the style of apparel
of the female inhabitants, which con
sists chiefly of one pair of thin lace
drawers and six inches of pink silk
skirt.
The noble young man who is always
in such plays, and dares to love the
virtuous joung maidens, is in this one,
and is torn from her by the Count of
that destrid, and sent by him, in charge
of two old style Bowery theatre villains
to the lowest dungeon iu the castle
moat, in heavy tragedy style (music,
big fiddle and bassoon-0, and the vir
tuous young maiden aforesaid, led off
iu triumph by the Count.
Scene uoxt, laboratory of the Black
Crook, a melo-dramatic sorceror, bent
nearly double, and with a bluish-purple
face—comic servant in this scene, of
course.
Scene next, the Black Crook iu a
wild mountain pass, where, after con
sultation with a fat skeleton, ho con
cludes to raise the ■ Hu does raise
his Satanic majesty generally, besides
ghosts, with towels on their heads, pyro
technic horse and rider, and a short
demon, about 28 inches in height.

straighter than his body, is a hard trade

The above full and lucid description
gives you a fair idea of one’s rfrst im
pression of the Black Crook.
It's a big thing. Things are done on
a grand scale here always, whether it’s
distilling whiskey or electing members
of Congress.
You are a slow people in Boston. We
do as we please here.
Wait’till pur Hon. John Morrissey
“comes up to the scratch” and presents
some of his “knock down” arguments in
Congress, and he’ll “beat” you Yankees
out of sight, and our llou. Fernando
Wood will make you all “shake” again.
