The Theatres, &C.
THE THEATRES , & c .
Comedy . —After Mr . Willie Edouin ' s long ran of ill-luck it is a pleasure to have to record that success has at length been achieved by him . This has resulted by his producing two excellent pieces at
this cosy little theatre . One of these , " Turned Up , " was tried at a matinee at the Vaudeville some time since , and was received so favourably that Mr . Edouin at once proceeded to secure a theatre , so as to be able to run a summer season with it . This has been at the
Comedy , and with "Blackberries , by Mark Melford , to precede "Turned Up , " provides one of the merriest entertainments that can possibly be seen at the present time . Miss Alice Atherton impersonates a show girl in the former piece with unequivocal success . The singing of the songs allotted her— " Bees amongst the Clover , "
" Happy Eyes of English Blue , " and " Rover "—are each given in her usual enchanting manner , and are nightly encored again ancl again . Nothing more lively than " Blackberries " could be wished for , and with the help of Mr . Willie Edotrin ( Uncle Jim ) , Mr . Lytton Sothern ( Tom Tate ) , Mr . W . Groves ( Mr . Blindfold ) , Mr . Morton
Selteu ( Albert Blindfold ) , and Miss Alice Chandos ( Miss Blindfold ) , one of the best opening pieces is sent along in double quick time . "Turned Up , " in three acts , by Mark Melford , follows . This work runs briskly , and the fun is kept up so well that not a dull moment intervenes . Mr . Edouin , as Caraway Bones , is extremely fnnny ; ho
is well snpported by Mr . Lytton Sothern ( George Medway ) , Mr . Charles Groves ( Captain Medway ) , Mr . Morton Selteu ( Mr . Nod Steddam ) , Mr . Alfred Bishop ( General Baltic ) , Miss Zeffie Tilbury ( Sabina Medway ) , Miss Alice Chandos ( Cleopatra ) , Miss Maude Millett ( Ada Baltic ) , Miss Emily Dowton ( Mrs . Pannall ) , aud Miss
E . Brunton ( Mrs . Medway ) . In consequence of previous arrangements , Mr . Edouin mnst retire from the Comedy shortly , but we hope to have the p leasure of meeting him and Miss Atherton , with their excellent company , at some other Metropolitan theatre , when we are convinced the present programme will hold the boards throughout the winter months .
Empire . —As a preliminary step towards converting this magnificent theatre into a mnsic hall , the management have provided an entertainment , at summer prices , consisting of a concert , with Mdlle . C . Devrient and Mr . H . M . Imano as tho principal vocalists , and the two grand ballets from " The Palace of Pearl , " and a comic
opera adapted by Adolp he Adam from " Le Postilion de Longjumenn , " entitled " The Maiden Wife . " In this latter it was almost impossible to recognise the brig ht and charming music of Adolphe Adam on Saturday , for it was apparent at an early staire that Mdlle . Devrient was totally unfit for the part of Madeline . Tho music seemed too
hi gh for her voice , while she was further taxed heavily by not knowing her part sufficiently . Mr . Henry Walsham , with his sweet tenor voice , may congratulate himself on having saved the piece from n Uer failure . His rendering of the leading song — " The Gay Postboy of Longjumeau " —was perfection , and deservedly gained an
encore . Mr . H . M . Imano as Bijou received an encore for his singing ° f the air in the second act . Miss Kate James was spirited as Eose , the waiting maid . Mr . Odell was the Marquis do Coarcey . The m ° 8 t popular and successful item of the evening was the charming
' Ballot des Dontelles . " This was enfclinsiasfcically received , and the graceful dancing of Mdlle . Pertuldi ancl Mdlle . Luna gained most deserved approval . Another special item of thu entertainment was the excellent music given by the band , nnder the direction ol Mr . C . Dubois .
The Theatres, &C.
Mohawk Minstrels . —In tiaya of yore the "meme" men of Islington wero always ready to take part in a roundelay or to listen to a plaintive ballad , and , if wo jndgo by the attentive audiences thafc nightly listen to Islington ' s own Minstrel Troupe—the merry Mohawks—this love of their sires is well fostered and sustained by
the present generation . The Mohawks returned to their headquarters —the Royal Agricultural Hall—on August Bank Holiday , aud since then have drawn crowded audiences . The programme they now offer is well up to the high standard they have hitherto achieved . Their first part includes several very pretty ballads , and is brought
to a conclusion by a lively sketch entitled " A New 1 ear ' s Wedding . Messrs . Forman and Thomas , in the second part , prove themselves versatile mnsicians , extracting melody from most incomprehensible instruments . Messrs . Ray , Dwight , Ray , and Gilmour go through their entertainment with ease , ancl their dancing and grouping ia
very natural ; while Mr . Johnny Danvers and Mr . Walter Howard add to the enjoyment of fche audience . "A Lunatic ' s Paradise , " by Mr . Prank Diamond , is well acted by tho company , and this sketch brings a thoroughly enjoyable evening to a close . We offer a suggestion we feel convinced wonld meet with the approval of a vast number
of the Mohawk ' s supporters , whose business avocations will nofc permit of their attending in the earlier part of the evening : — occasionally—say once a week—the programme should be reversed , by this means many who now miss the first parfc of fche entertainment would secure the opportunity of listening to what a great many con . sider the best part of the present entertainment .
