BOSTON THEATRE. - 7.45 P.M. Matinee, Saturday at 2. Bartle, Campbell's "Galley Slave," which has been running for the past two weeks, will be continued until further notice. The plot is very improbable; but the exciting situations, and the more than usual amount of villany, have made the play draw very well. Mr. J. B. Booth appears as Oliphant...
...some weeks. During the month, "Robinsonnade" and "The Lark," musical sketches, are promised. "Robinsonnade" is a burlesque of "Robinson Crusoe," and is said to be very amusing. "The Lark" is another adaptation of Meilhac and Halevy's "Le Reveillon," which, in turn, is adapted from "Die Fledermaus." The plot is essentially the same as that of "On Bail."

...Woolf of a French comedy called "Les Faux Bonshommes." The piece is amusing and bright, and is well acted by the Museum company.

The plot of the piece turns on the complications which arise with their suitors. Mr. Barron fills the part of Edgard satisfactorily, and Mr. Wilson, as Bassecourt, is excellent. Saturday night, "The Two Orphans" will be given again; and next Monday, "Papa Perrichon," a most amusing comedy, will be revived, together with...
GAIETY THEATRE. - A company called "The Revellers" are appearing at this theatre this week in a piece by the name of "Trouble." Mr. Newcomb and Miss Davenport easily lead, both in singing and acting. The plot of the piece is somewhat slight, but there is plenty of fun as well as melody in it. Next week Tony Denier's Humpty Dumpty Troupe will appear here...
