CAN any reader of the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICIIE give me an account of Stephen or Etienne Morin 1762 , or refer me to a biography ? There was an Etienne Morin , a Protestant Minister at
Caen , Normandy , France , who , at the revocation of the Edict of Nantes , settled at Amsterdam , after having been at Leyden . He was Professor of Oriental Languages , and wrote some curious antiquarian Tracts .
He died in 1700 . He had a son , Henry , who was born in 1655 , became a Roman Catholic , was a member of the Academy of Inscriptions , Paris , wrote several able treatises , and died in 1728 . Was Etienne Morin in 1762 his son or grandson P SPERO . | |

THE THEATRES , & c .
Haymarket . —The great pit question at this theatre has at lasfc been settled , with satisfaction , if we may judge from the attitude of the audience thafc assembled to welcome Mr . H . Beerbohm Tree fco his new home . A good curtain-raiser has been found in "The Ballad Monger , " whioh has been adapted from Theodore de Banville ' s
" Gringoire , " by Messrs . Walter Besaufc and Walter Pollock . Several versions of this story have already appeared on the English stage , with more or less success . Tho present one is well written , and is likely to suit all classes of playgoers . Mr . Tree undertakes the part of tho ballad monger , Gringoire , and comes out well . His reciting
of " The King ' s Orchard " was capital , while the manly bearing of the half-starved poet was well conceived . Mr . Tree was terribly nervous on the first night , bat this has worn off , and he will be able to add to his already masterly performance . Mr . C . H . Brookfield , made up " after" Mr . Irving , was good as the king , but Mr . Charles
Allen was too haughty as the barber . Miss Marion Terry was a pleasing Loyse , while Mr . Stewart Dawson and Miss Esther Hayland were fair respectively as the city merchant and his sister . " The Eed Lamp " followed , and proved to be as attractive as before , albeit the faults we pointed out when it was first produced havo not
been altered in any material way . Mv . Tree was as subtle and mysterious as ever as Demetrius , while Messrs . Cantley , Sugden , Pateman , and the Misses Rosina Filippi and Marion Terry proved equall y efficient . An important change in the caste is that of Mrs . Tree as Princess Claudia Morakoff . This lady has thoroughly
studied the character , and she came out well in tbe most difficult parts . In tbe scene at the house of the mine , Mrs . Tree surpassed herself . Taking it all round , the performance was essentially a painstaking one , and fully deserved tbe applause bestowed upon it . Afc the conclusion , Mr . Tree was called for , and complimented . Thus bas he started his season with every sign of future success .
Globe . —Ever looking after th © comforts of his earlier patrons , Mr . C . H . Hawtrey produced last Saturday a new one-act play , by Mr . Charles Thorue . This is a pretty and sympathetic little piece , capitally written ancl fairly well constructed . The story is somewhat simple , but is nevertheless attractive . Kate Cuuliffo is iu love
with a poor artist . One day Mrs . Cunliffe tells Kate fchey are poor , and that she must marry Lord Anibleby , who has money . This Kate at first refuses to do , but on being pressed by her mother reluctantly consents . Tho artist , however , at this time learns his pictures have been accepted , and that he has a bright future before him .
Lord Anibleby , for fcho firsfc time henring that tho young couple love , gives up oil claim to Kate ' -, hand , thus leaving her free to marry the artist . This little piec" > is fairly well acted by Messrs . Graham Wentworth , A . G . Andrews , Norman Bent , and the
Misses Millicent Mildmay , Cissy Grahame , G . Goctze . Since the first ni ght , Mr . Burnand ' s " Tho Doctor" has been touched up , to advantage . The second act now goes with ranch spirit , while the jokes nnd smart sayings seem to " catcb" much better than they "id formerly .
-Princess ' s . —Since the production of " Shadows of a Great y'ty , " several changes in the caste havo taken place . Notwithstand-_?!?

piece has lost nothing by the change ; Mr . Shine's well known abilities thoroughl y suit the part , and the humorous portions are yiven with spirit . Miss Cicely Richards now undertakes the part of Biddy Eoonan , the kind hearted Irishwoman . Miss Richards' style
is better suited to the character than was that of her predecessor . Mr . Forbes Dawson is good as the detective Arkwrighfc . Messrs . J . H . Barnes , Harry Parker , W . L . Abingdon , and Misa Mary Rorke still present excellent portrayals .
A very successful smoking concert was given on Thursday , at the house of Bro . E . Woodman , The Globe , Tollington Road , Holloway , the occasion being the inangaration of the " Globe Musical Society . " We recognised a large number of Bro . Woodman ' s Masonio friends present to support him , and among those who contributed to the
enjoyment of the company were Bros . John Prob » r _ , Townl ' -y , Lovett King , _ fco . Those who know Bro . Woodman as a working Maii-n , cr as a contributor to an evening ' s festivities , cau form som * idea of his ability a « a host . He certainly filled this part well on Thursday , and deseryes the success we hope is in store for him in his latest venture .
