The Lyceum has produced a picturesque and amusing bagatelle, whose

title, the Three Fra Diavolos, suggests the nature of the plot. KEELEY, as the mock brigand—who is first frightened out of his wits by a brother masquerader, then struck speechless by the appearance of Fra Diavolo himself, and lastly horrified by being apprehended as the real robber—is a most comical figure of fun : he wears a hat and feathers as tall as himself, and a pair of ferocious black whiskers, that seem to strike

terror into the very face they garnish.
