THE THEATRES .
A very enthusiastic audience greeted the reappearance of Mr . Edward Compton and his accomplished wife Miss Virginia Bateman on Monday night at the Strand . For the first part of their pieces the Ccmpton Comedy Company have chosen " Garrick , " not Robertson ' s , but a version by Mr . Muskerry , which evidently gave full satisfaction to the crowded house on the first
night . Mr . Compton is , if any fault is to be found , a little too serious , as it is well known that " Garrick " was always light and gay . Mr . Compton is handsome , pronounces his words and even syllables clearly , and is possessed of a very pleasant voice , and gives great effect to all he does . Miss Virginia Bateman ably supports her husband as well as her part permits , but we hope later
plays will give her more opportunity of displaying the comedy view we know her to have . Mr . Lewis Ball plays the part of Alderman Gresham with dignity ; the rest of the company , though very amusing , remind one of a strolling country company . We are promised a revival of " London Assurance , " "Wild Oats , " "The Rivals , " "School for
Scandal , " and other old English comedies , together with two new plays . We are sure that any one who will go to the Strand will be well pleased with the piece generally . Mr . Charles Terry , a brother of the talented and charming family of which Miss Ellen Terry is the chief , officiates as manager , in which capacity he is most obliging .
* * * The " School for Scandal" is always welcome to the downright lover of theatres , for it is a play which one can see scores of times and yet not tire of it . Miss Kate Vaughan and Mr . H . B . Conway have joined forces , and produced it at the Haymarket , where it has been received so cordially that the other old English comedies
which they purposed presenting will not be put on until the " School for Scandal" shows signs of weakness . Mr . Wm . Farren , the best Sir Peter Teazle living , has been secured for that part . Mr . Charles Collette's jew broker merits special praise . Miss Kate Vaughan must of course be compared with many Lady Teazle ' s before her , and comes well out of the ordeal , she is graceful and winning , and has established herself as a comedy actress . Mr . Conway ,
as Charles Surface , is perhaps at his best in the scene in which Surface sells the family portraits , but he will not part with the picture of his old uncle , though sorel y tempted by a large offer . The minuet in the second act is always popular , but with Miss Vaughan to lead it off is doubly so . Mr . Wilfoid Morgan has been secured to sing the song" Here ' s to the Maiden . " The present regime only exists for about a fortnight more , when the regular company will return to play " Jim the Penman . "
# * * At Toole ' s Messrs . Varuley and Stephens have added to the burlesque of " Heme the Hunted , " or " Windsor Re-versed , " which has worked up into a very funny entertainment the ever popular comic opera of " Billee Taylor . " Miss Harriet Coveney still plays her old part of Eliza , and with the " bos ' un , " Mr . De Lange ,
manages to keep the house in a roar of laughter . Miss Harriet Vernon is the Plvccbe , and makes a very favourable impression . Though this comic opera has been often played since its production at the Imperial , this last is not at all unequal to previous revivals . The burlesque goes very merrily , and Bro . Arthur Williams as Heme is extremely humorous with h ' s gag . We are promised burlesque in the " Lady of Lyons" and " Monte Cristo . "
* * * Bro . Thos . Thome at his recent benefit gave a revival of Holcroft's once famous comedy "The Road to Ruin , " and announced that the Vaudeville would close for a few weeks , but so favourably received was this old
English play , that Bro . Thorne changed his mind , and is now keeping open for what he calls a summer season . Bro . Charles Warner is the hero of the play , and with the support of Bro . Thorne , Miss Larkin , and Miss Kate Rorke , the niece is as attractive as in previous revivals .
* * # As many theatres being closed makes it better business for the music halls , though we do not think they have much cause of complaint at any time . Just now there are many attractions at the London Pavilion , amongst these being Paul Cinquevalle and the Japanese conjuror ,
Katnoshm Awata . They perform a number of new tricks . Mr . Macdermott sings , of course , topical songs , one about the Unemployed being very clever . The Stebbing Tioupe , Miss Bessie Bellwood , Miss Lottie Collins , and Mr , Charles Godfrey all add to the attractions , and Bro . Edward Swanborough looks after the comfort of the patrons .
* Mr . Willie Edouin has taken the Comed y for a few weeks , and produced Mr . Mark Melford ' s farcical comedy "Turned Up , " which has proved a big success already in London and in the provinces , where it was first played . Unfortunately there is not a part in it for Miss Alice Atherton , who is therefore supplied with a piece in one act
all to herself , called "Blackberries ; " but this is utterly devoid of any merit or plot , and is merely an excuse for Miss Atherton to sing some of her songs and dance . Mrs . Edouin wins her customary applause with her beautiful songs , " Happy eyes of English blue , " " Bees among the clover , " and a song about a dog " Rover . " Mr . Edouin , as Charlie , the star of a travelling theatrical company ,
made some fun out of his part . We recently gave the plot of "Turned Up , " so will only mention now the bare outline . George Medway , with a college chum , has taken a house up the river , and is awaiting the arrival of his mother to be introduced to General Paltic and his daughter Ada , whom George has saved from drowning , and to whom
lie is engaged . When Mrs . Medway makes her appearance she announces to her son and daughter that she has that morning married Mr . Caraway Bones , an undertaker . But later on the fust husband , Captain Medway , arrives , showing he is not drowned at sea , as she thought . He is pursued by a black woman , who declares he has married her ; but it is proved that his promise to do so was given in delirium of an illness , in which she was his nurse , Mrs . Medway ' s

second marriage only having been that morning is easily annulled . It will be seen there is abundant room for much fun out of these various embroglios . Of course , it must be followed closely by the audience , and played briskly by the actors for the necessary amusement to be got out of it .
From beginning to end one cannot help laughing heartily , though afterwards it would be difficult to describe what one has been shaking one ' s sides about . A play of this description requires to be taken atfever heat . Mr . Willie Edouin is more droll than ever . VVe have no fear that for a month to come the Comedy Theatre will be crowded .
MESSRS . MELLISHIP AND HARRIS ' NEW ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE . — The illustrated descriptive catalogue recently issued by Messrs . Melliship and Harris contains a long list of articles , both useful and ornamental , which are of highly artistic design , and are as well-formed as they are attractive . Many of the designs give evidence of rare taste on the part of the originator , while all the different classes of
commodities herein designed would seem to possess that high degree of excellence which the public is justified in associating with the firm of Melliship and Harris . The presentation writing sets are in great variety , and very many of them are not only admirable in design , but represent likewise that perfection of finish which is looked for , but not always found , in specimens of English brass work . The collection of fans is equally meritorious , the ostrich
feather fan , and above all , the " Lyre " fan , which owes its name to the shape in which it is built , and which is composed of selected ostrich feathers , with shell handle , being very marvels of elegance . Then there are paper knives in ivory and white wood , string boxes , letter racks , pencil cases , all kinds of hand , reticule , and work bags ; dressing and travelling hags , for ladies and gentlemen , in various kinds of material and variously fitted and lined , but all of
excellent quality and highly finished ; dressing cases , jewel caskets , handkerchief boxes , book sets , despatch desks , cigar cabinets and other smoking apparatus , work baskets and boxes , jewellery , scent cabinets and stands , albums , and all other articles coming under the general designation of "necessaries" among gentlefolk—of all these the catalogue contains an assortment of approved or novel design , which in all the points that constitute an article worthy of being purchased , are not to be surpassed by the
manufactures of other firms in the same class ot business . We recommend our readers who may be on the point of making some birthday , wedding , or other present to visit Messrs Melliship and Harris ' s premises at in , Westbourne-grove . It is very likely they will be puzzled to make a selection of what they may require , for nearly everything they see will be elegant and well made , even in excess of the price charged ; but though they may be puzzled at the outset to make a selection , we feel satisfied they will be pleased when the selection is made .
