Entertainment Notes.

Entertainment Notes .

Criterion . —Tbe amusing farce , " His Excellency the Governor , " has achieved a new . life by its transfer to this theatre , to the temperature of which it is entirely suited . Mr . Arthur Kourchier is simply grand as the amiable old bachelor , quickly falling a victim to the allurements , of , an . artful

woman , though his fall is not to be wondered at seeing that the Countess is represented by the , delightful Miss Ellis Jeffreys . . There is a very enjoyable evening ^ entertainment to be obtained here , which is secured with : the , able assistance , of Mesds . Gertrude Elliott and Fanny Coleman . and Messrs . Eric Lewis , Marsh Allen , and Aubrey Fitzgerald .

Lyric— -The cast of the lively " Elorodora" has recently been strengthened by the return of Miss Ada Reeve , and the appearance of Mr . Louis Bradfleld and Miss Kate Cutler . The gentleman who provides entertainment at Masonic Lodges by phrenological lectures—as- well as others—may be recommended to pay a visit here to see Mr . Willie Edouin as the wily Professor of that cult .

Garnick . — " Bootle ' s Baby " will soon give place to Mr . Frohman's Company , with " Zaza , " of which great things are spoken . ME . LOUIS PARKER has been commissioned to translate M . Rostand's play "L'Aiglon , " in which Madame Sarah Bernhardt has made so great a success .
