Princess's . —The pathetic story of ' Undo Turn ' s Cabin has never failed when presented on the stage to touch tho sympathy of the play-going public . It is therefore not surprising that Mr . Eollo Balmain , the latest addition to the list of London Managers , shonld have chosen that well known play for his initial production . It is

stated that the version now given has the sanction aud approval of tho gifted authoress , bufc it is somewhat difficult to credit the statement . Tha principal episodes have been strung together in a decidedly undramatio fashion , whioh causes the points to be lost and most of the pathos to be turned to ridicule . There is too little of

Uncle Tom and too much of Pbineas Fletcher . This may be explained by the fact thafc Mr . Charles Hermann , the adaptor of the novel , is also the representative of the New World Qaaker , who is made the dem em machinu of the play . To assist the realism some forty or fifty genuine coloured people represent tho slaves and form

one of the principal attractions of the revival , singing their plantation songs and hymns with excellent effect ; bnt bearing in mind the fact that the abolition of slavery in America took plnco some thirty years ago , ifc is hardly correct to call the younger members of the troupe " freed slaves . " For the rest the chief characters are in fche hands

of capable performers . Mr . Bassetfc Koe is a forcible Simon Legree , Mr . M . Drew does woll as TJnole Tom , Mr . Leonard Outram makes a sufficiently defiant George Harris , and Mrs . Hermann fulfils the part of Eliza with advantage . Miss Edie King ia a pretty little Eva , and ifc is nofc her fanlt that fche death bed scene aroused fche smiles rather

than the tears of the audience . The lighter characters were sustained by Mr . Calhaem , an amusing Lawyer Marks , and Miss Nellie Christie as a rather well developed Topsy . Miss Brunton ,

Mr . Gilbert Yorke , and Mr . J . Brooke also assisted in the minor characters . The piece is well mounted , bufc bore signs of defective stage management . The music is supplied by the English Ladies ' Orchestra , under the direction of Herr Vorzanger .

Toole ' s . —After a most successful tour in fche Provinces Mr . J . L . Toole has returned to his own house in King William Street , where he has resumed his original part ; of Jasper Phipps in Mr . J . M . Barrie ' a comic play , " Walker , London . " The popular comedian is seen afc his besfc in this really amusing play , and a dull moment is

naver experienced throughout tho evening . Mr . Tools receives good support from Messrs . C . M . Lowne , Seymour Hicks , Cecil Ramsey , George Shelton , Miss Effie Lisfcon , Miss Irene Vanbrugh , Miss Mary Ansell , Miss Lydia Kaohel , and Miis Harrison Ainsworfch . " Walker , London , " bids fair to continue its successful run for many weeks to come .

Mr . George Alexander and company , after a mosb successful Provincial tour returned to the Saint James ' s theatre , on Monday , and met wifch a warm reception in " Lady Windermere's Fan , " and a novelty iu the shape of a one act play , " Kit Marlowe , " by Mr . W . L . Courtney , in which Mr . Alexander sustained the ) part of the poet author .

Ifc is a great pity that tho run of " The Baroness , " at the Eoyalty , was recently brought to a sudden conclusion . Cotsford Dick ' s words and mnsic are so bright and the acting aud singing aro so good , that the opera should have boen a great success . We trust the author will be able to produce his opera at another theatre , when we hope he will have better lack than thafc attended him afc the Eoyalty .

Mr . T . Haydn Parry has returned from a short holiday on the Continent and conducts his opera " Cigarette , " at the Shaftesbury , which now goes brisker than ever , aided by fche vocalisation of Mesdajnes Ulmar aud Albn , and Mr . Joseph O'Mara , and thehumonra

of Mr . Charles Collette and Mr . A . T . Evelyn . A new comic duet has been introduced for the two latfcer comedians in fche last act , which provokes roars of laughter . " Cigarette " is now preceded by " Cut off with a Shilling , " in which Miss Mary Collette , daughter of fche popular actor , appears wifch marked abilifcv .

This Saturday evening , afc the Haymarket , the drama " Agatha Tylden" will be preceded by " a study of national jurisprudence , " entitled " The Burglar and the Judge , " written by Messrs F . C .

Philips and Charles Brookfield . To-night ( Saturday ) will be revived '' Tho Arabian Nights , " by Sydney Grundy , with Mr . Charles Hawtrey , Miss Lottie Venne , and Mr . W . S . Penley in thoir original characters .

"he production of "King Lear" will tako place afc the Lyceum on Thursday evening , the lOfch inst ., afc eiyht o'clock . Mr . Henry Irving will assume the part of Kimj Lear , and will be supported by Miss Ellen Terry as Cordelia .

On Thursday "Our Boys" poi-fot-medfor the 50 th : timo during ifcs present revival at tho Vaudeville . Ou that occasion fche comedy was preceded by tho farce , " The Martyr , " in which Messrs . C . Ash ford , Duncan , Fleet , aud Miss Abingtou appeared .

Miss Estelle Burney will produce , at tho Garrick , on Monday evening next , 7 th iust ., a now aud original comedy , in four acts , by I < ouis N . Parker aud Thornton Clark , entitled " Tho Bar Sinister . "

The Theatres, &C.

The Globe will shortly be re-opened , under the management of Mr . John Last and Mr . William Boosey , when there will be produced a new romantic comedy-opera by Georgo Dance and Ivan Caryll , entitled " Ma Mie Eosettee , " from the French of MM . Preval , Liorat ,

Frank Wyatt , Deane Brand , Lawrence D'Orsay , Cairns James , and Courtioe Pounds . The opera will bo produced under fche direction of Mr . Thos W . Charles . Musical Director , Mr . Ivan Caryll .

When " Uncle Tom ' s Cabin ceases to attract fche public , Mr . Eollo Balmain will produce a new drama " Eagle Jce , " the work of Mr . Henry Hermann , in whioh Mr . Balmain will play the title role . Owing to the serions indisposition of Miss Sedohr Rhodes , she is compelled , on the advice of her physician , to take a rest from her

duties ab the Lyric . Miss Nellie Stewart now plays the rdle of Micaela in place of Miss Rhodes . Afc the Crystal Palace Dog Show , Mr . Sydney Alport purchased "Rita , " the prize Pomeranian exhibited by Her Majesty the Queen , to understudy Master Common in " A Lucky Dog , " at Terry's .
