The Week.

aim and object of whose existence is the elevation and aggrandizement of her beloved husband . This , if . will be granted , is somewhat different from the ordinary "tragedy queen" view of the part ; but for ourselves we cannot but think that the heroine of Shakspeare ' s conception is truly delineated by Miss Glyn . Mr . Phelps's Macbeth is natural , dignified , and energetic . Not a point is lost , nor a line misinterpreted . In Bhort , a greater treat to the lovers of high art and English poetry could hardly be imagined than this tragedy as played bthese accomplished

y performers . At the Strand Theatre an exceedingly absurd and very laughable trifle has been brought out under the title of " Caught by the Ears ; " the plot of which strongly resembles that of the " AVandering Minstrel , " of RobsomaivJ fame . Suffice it to say , that one Jem Gi'eeres ( admirably played by Mr . James Rogers ) , is mistaken'by amad musical amateur , Mr . Qranhycrotchet , for our great tenor , Mr . Sims Reeves , and is by him taken by main force into his house to sing , whether he will or not . The fear of tho unfortunate victim , who suspects he is in a madhouse ; the

belief of his captor that the tenor is travelling in disguise ; the efforts of the latter to extract a note from the former , who happens to have one for twenty pounds sewn up in his trousers pocket ; the manner in Avhich (/ reeves is made to dross himself aB Othello , and black his face , is threatened with pistols , and forced to sit down to the piano and sing , and subsequently volunteers a mock Italian scena , are better imagined than described , since they are so utterly ridiculous as to be unworthy the trouble involved or the space occupied by their complete depicture . The farce yy . as entirely successful .
