BOSTON THEATRE. Mr. Grau's opera-bouffe company made their bow to a Boston audience at this house, on the 10th of this month. They have since appeared in an almost nightly change of familiar operas. Many of the troupe, as Duplan and Mezieres, are old favorites, always excellent and always welcome. Mlle. Marie comes to us with the perfect musical and dramatic education of her elder sisters, and with the additional attraction of youth. Her acting is a nightly surprise, and her singing is worthy of serious opera. Her Clairette, Duchesse, and Boulotte are marked by a cleverness...
...this troupe; nor is there a shade of the vulgarity and imbecility which Mrs. Oates and kindred "artists" offer us. It is much to be regretted that the houses have been small and unappreciative. To-night, M. Capoul sings Wilhelm in "Mignon," - a part which he created at the Opera-Comique. At to-morrow's matinee, the whole company appear in "La Grande Duchesse," and in the evening, Mlle. Angele takes a benefit in "Les Cloches de Corneville...

Monday and Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoon, "La Fille de Madame Angot" will be played; Wednesday, "La Grande Duchesse"; Thursday and Saturday evenings, "Girofle-Girofla"; and Friday evening, "La Perichole." Paola Marie and Capoul appear at every performance...
PARK THEATRE. - Of Miss Emma Abbot's "Grand English Opera Company" little need be said. Miss Abbot herself does not justify much criticism either as a singer or an actress. Her voice has some pleasing notes in it, and it is smooth, but that is about all that can be said. Her acting is decidedly vivacious, but very crude. She gives the effect of a girl of seventeen who has just gone upon the stage. As Marguerite in "Faust" she fails almost completely. As Mignon she is a little more successful. In the support Mrs. Seguin easily leads...
GLOBE THEATRE. - This theatre was reopened last Monday with Mr. Bandmann in "Narcisse." To-night " Hamlet" will be given; to-morrow afternoon, "Camille"; and to-morrow evening, "The Merchant of Venice." Next Monday, Auber's Opera, "The Crown Diamonds" will be produced and the week after "The Black Crook," under the direction of the Kiralfy brothers...
