THE THEATRES , & c .
11 H 0 SE of our readers wbo have not yet witnessed the performance of " Kavenswood " at the Lyceum had better hurry up , as the regular run of the play will soon cease , in consequence of the production , or rather revival , of Mr . Irving ' a arrangement of Shakespeare's delightful comedy " Muoh Ado About Nothing , " on Monday , 5 th January . Misa Ellen Terry has stated that the character of
Beatrice is one of her favourite riles , and all who remember ber charming rendering of the Sicilian maiden will aver it is also one of her most popular . Mr . Irving will resume his impersonation of Benedict , but the other principal parts will be played by different actors to those who assisted in the last revival . Thus Miss Annie Irish will be Hero , Mr . Terries is to be Claudio , Mr . Maoklin Don Pedro , and snch small characters as the Friar and Dogberry will be represented
by Mr . Alfred Bishop and Mr . Mackintosh . This speaks well for tbe great care and study devoted to the representation of the piece . Friday evenings will , however , be devoted to " Eavenswood , " but it is certainly better to witness the performance while the actors are warm to their work than to see it when their thonghts may possibly be diverted by other parts . A matinee will also be given tfiis day ( Saturday ) , and " Tbe Bells " will be performed this evening and on Saturday next .
Mr . William Morton , the genial veteran manager at the Alhambra , as usual anticipating the holiday season , has onoe more produced one of those brilliant bewitching ballets that are fche glory and principal attraction of his popular establishment . The subject is an appropriate one for this time of the year , being associated with that delightful fairy tale "The Sleeping Beauty . " It is arranged by the
famous ballet master L . Espinosa , and M . 6 . Jaoobi has composed tbe innsic . There are five tableaux , representing the banqueting hall of the palace , an old gallery , the magic wood , the princess ' s state bedchamber , and the bridal festival , all of which scenes are marvels of colouring and costliness . Signorina Legnani is the princess , and has devised some very novel figures , especially in the dance in which she is supposed to awaken from her trance . Madlle . Marie is a suitably
dashing priooe , and Madlles . Zimmerman , Scotti , and Cormani , together with Signor de Yincenti , sustain some supplementary characters with muoh spirit . It ia almost impossible to surpass the ' grand triumphs of the past , but the present production at least shows no diminution in pioturesqueness or colouring , while the costumes are beautiful and elegant . The ballet was loudly applauded , and the authors were compelled to appear upon the stage and bow their acknowledgments .
In consequence of newspaper statements with reference to the alleged insanitary condition ol some London and provincial theatres , Mr . Norman Forbes has appointed a sanitary expert in the person of Mr . Reginald 6 . Hansell , F . S . I ., to periodically inspect and advise as to the sanitary arrangements at the Globe Theatre , both before and behind tbe curtain .
