THE THEATRES , & c .
Opera Oomiqiie . —There was produced on Wednesday last , before an overflowing and appreciative audience , a new and original farcial comedy by Mr . W . Outram Tristram , entitled " The Undergraduates . " The piece is slight and crudely constructed , but
nevertheless contains some very amusing scenes ; arising out of the doings of a retired prize fighter , by name Jerry Duggan . This gentleman lets lodgings in Oxford , and has as tenants two Undergraduates . One of these , Ernest Farrant , has engaged himself to Daggan ' a daughter Fanny , who , however , is already married to an unfortunate
actor , named Sparks , who has turned footman . The plot principally hinges on the loss of a bag , containing the necessities for a prize fight ; which , if found , will jeopardise Duggau ' s liberty . How Sparks gets possession of the bag , and returns it to Duggan ; how Ernest Farrant falls in love with a rich heiress , whom he afterwards marries
and how Sparks , by returning the bag , gains the goodwill of his father-in-law , are cleverly shown in the course of three acts . Mr . Tristram was fortunate in having secured the services of Mr . Felix Morris to undertake the part of Duggan . This gentleman , although rather nervous on Wednesday , was amusing from first to last , and on
him mainly rests tho success of the piece . Mr . Morris s performance is a lifelike and humorous study , full of effective detail . Mr . Torke Stephens played with agreeable lightness the part of Ernest Farrant ; while those of Sir Jasper Farrant and Horatio Sparks were made the most of by Messrs . Arthur Greville and Lawrance D'Orsay
respectively . Miss Kate Phillips , as Fanny , never failed to make the most of her opportunities , and scored well . Miss Eva Sothern acts with grace and feeling as the heiress , Di Deverelle ; her acting in the love scene in the second act was natural and deserving of special notice . Smaller parts were well filled by Mr . W . Scott Buisfc ( . Ralph
Euberry ) , Mrs . W . Sidney ( Lady Farrant ) , and Miss Constance Stanhope ( Mildred Farrant ) . The author , at the conclusion , was called before the curt . 'in , and was well received . " The Undergraduates , " to our thinking , though requiring a little strengthening , would do well in an evening bill , the part of Jerry Duggan being too good a character to be lost after a solitary morning performance .
Criterion . — " Wild Oats " was revived nt this theatre on Satnrday , the 25 th nit ., and , if wo may judge from the hearty reception which it met , its success for the limited number of nights fixed for its representation on this stage is assured . Mr . Chas . Wyndbam played Rover in his own merry and rollicking style , and was deservedly applauded ; whilst Mr . Edward Righton made an excellent Sir George
Thunder . Miss Mary Moore was a very charming Lady Amaranth . Mr . David James , as John Dory , created much merriment with his quaint , though somewhat boisterous and uncouth speeches and mannerisms . As every playgoer knows , the piece is full of " go , " and
tho fnu runs continuously from start to finish ; keeping the nndienco in roars of laughter . " Wild Oats " is preceded by the well-known farce , " Who Killed Cock Robin . " Here a word of praise is due to Mr . William Blakely for his rendering of the part of Abel Tinkle .
Albert Palace . —This favourite resort for amusement seekers is once more the scene of a very amusing entertainment . Mr . William Holland , who is always on the look out for something new , has now added a largo and well-conducted circus , which is under tho management of Mr . Claude Ginnett . Two performances are given daily in
tlio centre of the nave , and wo must congratulate Mr . Holland on his latest acquisition . Mr . Ginnett ' s circus would alone repay anyone for a visit , but added to this is an unrivalled constellation of star artistes specially engaged by Mr . Holland . Of tho artistes who deserve a special word of praise we may mention the Cragg troupe of
acrobats , who go throngh thoir clever entertainment with great skill ; Frank Jennings and Son in the marvellous perche act ; Mons . Rossini on the high stilts ; the Newmarket jockey act by Mr . Fred Ginnett ; Mephisto , the boneless wonder ; Mr . Richmond Hull ' s riding on a bare backed horse ; the slack wire performance by Miss Jessica ; aud
several other clever and novel items which form a very attractive programme . Among other things thafc Mr . Holland has given this week is a cat show , which has proved both attractive aud let . resting , while among the most amusing " stock" entertainments we noticed
Mr . Britton Pettigrove ' s marionettes ; Bayard ' s moving diorama ; the giant baby ; the performing fleas ; the live mermaid ; and Lottina , the sylph of fche air . Mr . Holland announces fresh items for next week ' s circus , which we feel convinced will attract numerous audiences .
Messrs . Spiers and Pond have succeeded in obtained a licence for tho refreshment rooms at Glandovey Station , on the Cambrian Railway , in Montgomeryshire , This is somewhat remarkable , because the magistrates of that district have , for the unprecedentedly long
period of six years , refused all applications for licences . Ifc is certainl y a compliment to this well-known firm that the licencing board should havo made an exception in their favour , recognising the difference between one of their refreshment rooms and the ordinary licenced premises as conducted in the Principality .
