THE DRAMA .
" Blue Beard" at the Globe . —Theatrical Changes . AFTER an absence of some months , on their tour in the provinces , Miss Thompson and hot company are once more delighting the eyes and raising the laughter of our jaded London audiences . That wonderful burlesque , with which , in September of last year , theyoponed a triumphant season , is still the chief item in their programme . Tho Heathen Chinee , with his pigeon-English , and his skilful play at
eucnre , ra aa amusing as ever in the nanus ot Mr . . Edwin . Mr . Lionel Brough makes as much as ever out of the most terrible , and , at the same time , most contemptible despots . Miss Rachel Sanger and Miss Atherton lend the aid of their bright presence and graceful acting ; and Miss Thompson , the most refined and most graceful of burlesque actresses , about whose style there is no vnlarar loudness nor
shadow of coarseness , is in herself a power sufficient to bear the weight of a much worse burlesque . The piece itself has been so much added to and altered since its production , that we should think very little of the original fabric can remain ; but who will cavil at alterations which are for tho better , or at additions which introduce the newest topics of interest—from rams and ironclads to Turkish and Egyptian bonds , or the Prince ' s visit to India , or Mrs . Giucometti
Prodgersthere is nothing of public notoriety which escapes notice of some kind ; and playgoers will not need to be told that a " topical song " is always very popular . Blue Beard is a somewhat curious piece , partly burlesque , partly extravaganza , generally undefinable ; but it serves the purpose of keeping the public highly amused , and sending them away in hearty good humour .
The programme at the OLYMPIC has undergone a change during the past week . Will Mr . Neville forgive us if we express a feeling of great relief at the disappearance , we hope for a long period of time , of that eternal Tirket-of-Leave-Man ? Miss Carlotta Leclercq has appeared as Madame Fontanges in Plot and Passion . On Monday next , for the benefit of the popular lessee , will bo produced the play of Buckingham .
At the HATMARKET , a new farce , entitled A Happy Medium , serves aa a prelude to Mr . Byron ' s comedy , intended , apparently , to show how closely Mr . C . Warner can follow in the footsteps of Mr . Matthews . It has the effect of convincing ns , to our sorrow , that there is but one Mr . Matthews on the stage , and that Mr . Warner has small claim to be considered even as his prophet . Mr . Everill plays a testy old gentleman with considerable breadth of humour .
The last ten nights are announced of A Nine Days' Wonder , at the COURT Theatre , and on Thursday , 9 th December , will be produced Mr . Gilbert ' s new fancy play , in three acts , under the title of Broken Hearts . Mr . Gilbert is not only our best , but also our most promising writer of comedy ; he is not afraid to bestow both time and trouble on the ideas of a mind rich in originality , and we are convinced that his best work has yet to come before tho pnblic .
Black-Eyed Susan , Mr . Burnand ' s best and most successful burlesque , now strengthens tho programme at tho OPERA COMIQUE . Fascinating Miss Oliver once more wins the affections of the most awe-inspiring of naval officers , Captain Crosstroo Dewar , and Mr . Danvers exhibits his dry humour as Dame Hatley .
On Thursday next , Mr . Mayerwill produce at the QUEEN ' S a spectacle which was perhaps the most splendid ever seen on the Parisian stage . The White Cat , by dint of dresses , scenery , and legs , ran in Paris for over five hundred nights , and we believe that its attractions will , if possible , be augmented .
