The Theatres, &C.
THE THEATRES , & c .
Gaiety . —The latest version of Mr . Archibald Gunter ' s story , " Mr . Barnes of New York , " was produced by Miss Sophie Eyre last Saturday , when it met with a very favourable reception . The adapter in the present case is Mr . John Coleman , and he calls his version " Marina . " Although following closely on the lines of the
book , Mr . Coleman has made one or two alterations . These , we think , spoil some of the most effective situations , but they make the story lo- * s complicated . For instance , the officer who fights the duel ia represented as twin brother to Gerard Anstruther . Again , Maud Charteris is given a lover , iu tho officer who " assists " afc the duel ;
this certainly adds interest to the piece . Taking it altogether , tbe play is well written and capitally staged . When we say Miss Sophie Eyre plays the title r 6 ie , it will at once be clear thab tho delicate and nervous . situations are well brought out . Miss Eyre is powerful , aud yet sympathetic ; revengful at times , bufc in her calmer momenta
most forgiving . Without doubt , this lady is the best Marina we have yet seen . Mr . Herbert Waring gives us a manly Mr . Barnes , while Mr . Julian Cross repeats his successful rendering of Toraasso . Mr . Fred Terry successfully interprets the dual role of the twin brothers , but Mr . E . D . Ward has totally misunderstood the part of
Count Danella . Miss Lucy Buckstone is a winning Enid Anstruther , ancl Miss Enid Leslie a vivacious and interesting Maud . As Lady Charteris Miss Carlotta Leclercq is safe . Miss Eyre announces she will run "Marina" for three or four weeks ; then "She" will be produced .
Mohawk Minstrels . —The crowds that visited the Agrioul . tural Hall last Monday to welcome back the North London Minstrels at their two performances could hardly fail to have been anything bufc satisfied with the programme set down for their entertainment . Songs , sentimental and comic , were sung in abundance by old
favourites , the first part coming to a conclusion by the company depicting " Troubles at the Picnic . " The second part was exceptionally interesting ; it comprised the Pylades . These two gentlemen in a very short space of time make themselves up so as fco represent several of the mosfc noted personages of the day . The
quickness with which the changes are made is wonderful , and essentially clover . Mr . Johnny Dauvers amused us iu a parody of " Queen of my heart , " while Mr . Cyrus Bell and Mr . J . Schofield favoured the company with clever dances and songs . Mr . Walter Howard gave a
new banjo song , aud Mr . Celian Kofcfcaun rendered a enrnefc solo in his accredited masterly style . The programme concluded wifch a new sketch by Mr . Thomas Campbell , entitled "Unexpected Impressions . " This was capitally rendered by Messrs . Thomas Campbell , Johnny Dauvers , Littlo Thomas , and Frank Diamond .
Alexandra Palaee . —Perhaps one of the greatest sensatioua of fche day is thafc now being offered at the Alexandra Palace—Professor Baldwin's " Drop from the Clouds . " The Professor , who is a man of some twenty-aighb summers , ascends in a balloon to a considerable height , ranging from 1000 to 2000 feet ; then , with the aid of
a parachute , he drops from his balloon to the ground , hitherto with perfect ; safety . This really wonderful invention has already been practically exhibited by Professor Baldwin some sixteen or eighteen times , and up to the present without mishap . The excitement the performance creates has been clearly shown by the thousands of
paople who have flocked fco see him , the number who attended on fcho August Bank Holiday being greater than has been known for some long time at the Alexandra . " The Lasfc Days of Pompeii " is also proving a great success . Its illustration will be repeated every Saturday until further notice .
The celebrated comedy "Betsy , by Mr . F . C . Burnand , will be revived afc the Criterion to-night ( Saturday ) . The caste is a strong one , and includes several of the artistes who created fche difi ' erenb parts .
Mr . Pinero ' s successful play " Sweet Lavender " will be played for the loOfch time at Terry ' s Theatre on Tuesday evening , 14 th inst . It is still playing to crowded houses . Mr . T . C . Valentine , the Stage Manager afc Terry ' s , sails for America early next month to produce the piece at the Lyceum Theatre , New York .
A portrait of Quean Marghenfca of Italy , painted and burnt in on glass by Professor Moretti of Perugia , has been added to fche many attractions of the Italian Exhibition in London . It has taken the artist two years of constant labour to complete this masterpiece , and tho King aud Queen of Italy on viewing it personally congratulated Professor Moretti on his work .
