THE THEATRES , & c .
— : o : — Comedy . —Although Mr . J . Comyns Carr announces thafc hia new faroial comedy " Nerves" is adapted from " Les Feramea Nerveuses , " the piece has been so altered and re-written that nothing but the bare skeleton of the plot remains . Still the result is eminently satisfactory , as there is nothing in the farce that could offend the most
susceptible taste , and it is received with a continuous roar of laughter from beginning to end . No wonder then that the honse is crowded night after night , in spite of the warm weather . Mr . Carr ' s characters aa depicted in this farce are novv-a-days well known ; the nervoua woman is always with us , only in different classes different resulta obtain . The peevish wife has " nerves" to conceal a fretful
disposition , the domineering mother-in-law has an attack whenever sho ia thwarted , while the " slavey " finds relief in hysterics to disguise her feelings when chided by the " misses . " Ifc may be objected thafc no wife , however unreasonable , would pro 3 eed to fche lengths adopted by Mrs . Armitage , but it would never do to criticise too closely the plot of a farce . So long as propriety is respected the oud excuses—nay ,
justifies—the means . Mr . C H . Havvtrey has now so often impersonated the happy-go-Iaoky husband that he is necessarily perfect in the part , and his performance of the sorely tried Captain Armitage ia altogether admirable . The Violet Armitage of Miss Maude Milletfc is another careful study , and two strong character parts are sustained by Miss Sophie Larkin and Mr . H . Kemble . The burden of the piece
falls to Mr . Edward Righton , whose impersonation of the French confeotioner , Hippolyte Caramel , is exceedingly clever . He ia well assisted by Miss Lottie Venne as Zephyr Elaine , a fashionable modiste , whose sayings are " quite English you know . " The small port of Emma is raised to importance by the talent of Miss Lydia Cowell , who is certainly a housemaid " up to date . " Indeed all tho dramatic person's may well be described as impersonat ' ona of Le
fin de siecle , and are artistically drawn . Tho success of the pie 3 e cannot be denied and will doubtless attain a long run . The pie r ce da resistance is preceded by Mr . W . Lestocq's pathetic drama , in ono act , "A Bad Penny , " in which Messrs . H . Day , W . Wyes , P . S . Champion and Miss Ethel Mathew sustain the principal parts . Both pieces are prettily mounted , and the public have to thank Mr . E . F . Bradley , the courteous acting manager , for many conveniences in front of the house .
The annual festival on bohalf of tho Masonic Charities of Ireland was observed on the 24 th ult ., in Dungannon , Connty Tyrone . Tbo brethren attended service in the Parish Church , clothed in Masonio regalia . The preacher selected for the occasion was tho Rev . E . Bigoe Bagot , Rector of St . Mary ' s , Beswick , P . M . M . E . Z . P . P . G . Chaplain of East Lancashire and Chesbire .
A meeting of those interested in the new Lodge at Alderley Edgo was held on Wednesday , tho 25 th ult ., in Manchester , when Oflicers were proposed . It is expected that the consecration will take place either this month or early in Angusfc .
