... CARL ROSA COMPANY.-- Mr. Carl Rosa began his London season at Drury Lane Theatre on Easter Monday. It is but a few months less than ten years since Mr. Rosa first attempted a London season or English ...

... The new version of MM. Meilhac and Halevy's comic drama, La Cigale, brought out at the Strand Theatre on Saturday evening under the title of Good Luck seems to have been designed to exhibit Miss Jenni ...

... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIO. A RADICAL AT THE ROYALTY. I THINK it is Dean Ramsay who tells an anecdote of a Scotch laird and his servant riding home from a convivial gathering. Master and man were fairly fou. but the former had either con sumed the lion's share of the liquor or the latter was the more seasoned vessel. At any rate the laird lost his seat and rolled, happily without mate rial damage, ...

... . A Dangerous Game is the title of a new melodrama by Sir Randal Roberts, successfully presented at the Grand Theatre, Islington. It has plenty of go in it, is fairly well con structed, and is written in a commendably unpretentious, if rather commonplace manner. Although A Dangerous Game lays legitimate claim to originality, most of its characters, from the double-dyed villain down to the ...

... . THE atest additions to the repertory of the Carl Rosa Opera season at Drury Lane have been Lucy of Lammermoor, The Bohe mian Girl, II Trovatore, and Nadesehda. In the first-named opera, Mr. Maas sang splendidly, and it may he said with certainty that there is no tenor now on the Italian stage capable of sing ing the final air (Fra poco a me ricovero) with such beauty of tone and perfect ...

... NADESHDA.-- The most important novelty of Mr. Carl Rosa's opera season, Mr. Goring Thomas's Nadeshda, was announced for production at Drury Lane on Thursday evening. Next week, the consideration of ...

... . The old fashioned Ingomar, in which Miss Mary Anderson made her first appearance before a London audience, presents one of the most satisfactory impersonations in her repertoire. The formality of its sentiment and the stiffness of its rhetoric seem to suit her. She poses Parthenia effectively, and she is not ashed to do much more than this with such a part. Moreover, she happens to be at ...

... . MISS JENNIE LEE is not, we fancy, likely to add mucn to ner popularity by her production of Good Luck, which is an adapta tion by her husband, Mr. Burnett, of La Cigale. It is stated in the programme that this musical, farcical, romantic comedy, is a version which is made with the knowledge and approval of Mr. John Hollingshead, a circumstance which says more for that gentleman's ...

... . Harrow School and lis Surrounding s. By I'eecy M. Ti ioeotox. London: W. H. Allen and Co., 13, Waterloo-place. S. W. Is there a Harrow boy, past or present, who has not heard of this book? If so, let him lose no time in securing a copY. Nor is it only to Harrow hoys that we cordially recommend Mr. Percy Thornton's entertaining pages. All sorts of interesting people and places come into the ...

... It is perhaps rash to assume that a novel, although published after its author's death, will be the very last from his pen. There is always hope that the last may be followed by yet a further last, or ...

... . VICTOR HUGO'S Marie Tudor, as manipulated by Mr. Edward Rose for the Standard Theatre, changes a good deal more than its name. This latter becomes Two Women, and the scene of the action is moved from the England of the sixteenth century to the Italy of an indefinite period. The women of the title are Leonarda, Duchess of Ferrara, and an orphan named Agatha, who whilst betrothed to the ...

... NADE3CHDA. MUSICIANS and amateurs in all parts of the kingdom have concurred in hailing Mr. A. Goring Thomas's Esmeralda-- pro duced two years back during the Carl Rosa Opera season at Drury-lane-- as a work which does honour to native art. It has become so popular in the provinces that it stands only second in attractiveness to Carmen, and has been given between seventy and eighty times by ...
