The Theatres, &C.

THE THEATRES , & c .

Gaiety . —All lovers of the dramatic art must accord a hearty welcome to the French compauy brought over by Messrs . H . E . Abbey and Maurice Grain , and few people will let the opportunity now offered pass by without witnessing ono or more of the performances , which fully realise the truth of the proverb " Ar summa selereartem . " If it

be the mission of the actor to hold the mirror np to nature , it must be confessed that the Parisian professionals are far in adv . ince of our own artistes , and the difference is easily perceptible , even to the ordinary playgoer . With the French company there is no striving after effect o i the part of any one performer , all appear to play up

to one another , almo .-t without noticing the audience , and hence the best results are attained , and " Jiafcnralism " in its highest form ia presented . A difFereut play is given each evening , and though this must be most trying to the performers , the pieces are played with a perfection that elicits the highest praise . The principal performers

are M . Coquelin , of the Comedie Francaise , and Madame Jane Hading , of the Theatre Gymnase , and they are assisted by an efficient company , including the names of Messrs . Duquesne , Mayer , Marsay , Chambly , and Ramy , and Mesdames Lemercier , Gilbert , Jenny Rose ,

and Kerwich . Wo are compelled , on account of limited space , thus to speak in general terma of the performers , but we can assure onr readers that whichever evening they may Eelect for their visit they will oxpsrionci the delight of witnessing a play acted to perfeotioa .

Prince of Wales' . —Planquette ' s comic opera " Paul Jones" is rapidly advancing in public estimation , and to-day will reach its 140 th performance , while the crowded state of the theatre exhibits no sign of diminution . Miss Agnes Huntingdon has now mastered every detail of the music , and doubtless feels quite at home in her

impersonation of tho hero , while Miss Wadman may be equally congratulated on her assumption of Yvonne . Miss Phyllis Broughton makes a vivacious Chopinette and Mr . Templar-Saxe sings tha ballads allotted to him with exquisite taste . The humour of the piece is amply sustained by Messrs . Harry Monkhouse and Albert

James , while Mr . Frank Wyatt causes considerable amusement in the last act as the Spanish Don Trooadero . The chorus has been well trained , and gives duo effect to the pretty musio . We may mention that the musio of two dances given at the Queen's State Ball on Monday last was taken from this opera .

Toole's . —The revival of " Artful Cards" at this theatre has been most enthusiastically receired ; at this we are not surprised . The many years that have elapsed since it was produced at the Gaiety does not seem to have dimmed its popularity , while the recent club raids have made it even more interesting . To see Mr . Toole in the

many comical situations he is brought into must engender laughter ; indeed our old favourite seems to have fully grasped the situation , and never misses an opportunity . The descent of the police upon the Countess Asteriski ' s gaming salon , and the suspension of the mys « terious game of Kackorka forms a capital burlesque on the recent

raids , and is nightly thoroughly enjoyed . Mr . Toole is well supported by Miss Eliza Johnstone , Miss Kate Phillips , Messrs . John Billington , George Skelton , and H . Westland , who work with a will to "keep tho game alive . " " lei ou parle Francais " is still iu the bill , with Mr . Toole iu his original character of Mr . Spriggins .

The Novelty will be re-opened , for seven nights , on Friday , the 7 th instant , with "A Doll ' s House , " by Henrik Ibsen , translated by Mr . William Archer . Messrs . Charles Charrington , Herbert Waring , Royce Carleton , Miss Gertrude Warden , and Mis 3 Janet Achuroh are in tho caste .

Messrs . E . S . Willard and JohnLart will open the Shaftesbury on Saturday , the Sth instant , with a revival of "Jim the Penman . " Mr . Willard will play his original part , and will be supportod by

Messrs . Mackinto h , William Herbert , Elwood , Fred Terry , Cecil Crofton , Ivan Watson , Blatchley , Roystoo Keith , Miss Lindley , Mrs . E . H . Brooke , Miss Mabel Hardinge , and Lady Monckton . Mr . W . H . Griffiths is tbe acting manager .

An extra matinee of " Which Wius , a new and original four act comedy-dramo , by J . W . Pigott , will be given at Terry ' s , on Wednesday , 12 th instant . Crystal Palace . —On Whit Monday , lOfeh iusfc ,, ifc will be thirtyfive years since tha Queen , speaking beneath the great arch of the

Centre Traosept , declared the Crystal Palace open , and expressed the hope that tho enterprise would elevete and instruct , a 3 well as delight aud annuo all classes of her subjects . Since that memorable day tho Palace has been visited by nearly seventy millions of people . Tho Crystal Palace ha " , therefore , become the Palace of the People's

Pleasures , a fact which will , wo may safely predict , b 3 abundantly proved ou Whit Monday , for which day a great Anniversary Fete has been organised . The special list of free entertainments and amusements is , witbont doubt , tbe moat liberal and attractive that has ever been provided for a single festival . It includes national

promenade concerts , comic pantomime and novel variety entertainments on lawns , balloon ascents , fountaiu displays , military as 3 aultat-arms , out-door sportp , ventriloqoial and musical entertainments , race between bicycle aud trotters driven in sulkies , and a grand Garden Fete and Feast of Lanterns , with illumination of the great fountains , and special anniversary display of Fireworks .

A grand festival performance , on the Great Handel Orchestra , of Mendelssohn's Oratorio , " Elijah , " has been arranged for Saturday , 22 ud inst ., at the Crystal Palace , when the principal vocalists will be Madame Albani , Madame Patey , Mr . Edward Lloyd , aud Signer

Foii , assisted in the double quartette and concerted pieces by Miss Emily Squire , Mis 3 Jesse King , Mr . Maldwyn Humphreys , Mr . Ffrangcon Daviea , aud Mr . Plunkot Greene . Tbe chorns and orchestra will number three tbousaud . Mr , August Manns wil ] conduct .
