The only change that has taken place in the entertainments

of the other theatres has been at the Lyceum ; where Mr. and Mrs. Keeley have managed, by their own clever play, to score Honours and Tricks. Benedict's opera of The Crusaders, with its splendid spectacle, continues to attract, as is evident by its being chosen for the benefits of the manager arid, performers; and the career of the new comedy at the Haymarket pro- mises to be the reverse of that of the Beggar on Horseback in the proverb. Passion week, however, terminates the engagements of Madame Doche and M.- Felix at the French Plays; and of Madame Vestris and Mr. C. Mathews at the Princess's; Tom Thumb will probably appear after Eas- ter at the Lyceum. What an illustration of the state of the stage is the necessity of classing among theatrical " stars " a baby dwarf who would have been in bygone days an attraction at fairs; or at best a live toy for the Court ladies to play with, or for the cook to serve up in a pasty by way of a surprise for Royalty!
