THEATRES AND MUSIC.
A romantic burlesque on the subject of the Seven Champions, at the Lyceum, where Mr. Planchd seems to have deserted that classicality which used to distinguish his Paschal from his Christmas productions; a mytho- logical burlesque on the subject of the Sphinx, by the brothers Brough, at the Haymarket; an Easter piece of some kind at the Princess's,—these are the holyday recreations for the coming week.
The announcement that the Surrey Theatre will open with a company comprising Mrs. Nisbett, Mrs. Warner, Mrs. Stirling, and Mr. J. Anderson, is important, if we are to consider them not as transitory " stars," but per- manent members of an establishment. The migration of some of them to the Surrey side of the Thames is doubtless occasioned by the burning of the Olympic: and surely the large and populous districts of Camberwell and Kennington, which are close to the Surrey Theatre, offer a better field for a party of " legitimists " to exploiter, than the purlieus of the Strand, already supplied to repletion with theatrical recreations.
