The Oxford.

The permission of Mr. Charles Dickens having
been first obtained, Mr. Robert Fraser is giving at
the Oxford a version of that gem of " Mugby
Junction," 'The Boy at Mugby." It is part song,
bringing out the strong points of the Boy's refresh-
nienting experiences, part the text (spoken) from
the story. The spoken portion is the American tra-
veller's objurgation of the refreshments, terminating
with the " I laaf—l do—l la-af." The song is
well put together, and to a catching tune. By this
new assumption Mr. Fraser gives fresh proof of the
possession of a true comic vein of humour. The
unctuous young misanthrope stands in the flesh
before you, and the embodiment is really first rate.
Whether Mr. Fraser's ultimate destination be the.
stage or music-hall, he exhibits talent which ought to
make him a prime favourite in the metropolis. One
fine day he may take a theatrical audience by storm
as did Mr. Robson. He certainly has got the ability
to do so. Mr. Reynolds, of the Coldstream band,
and solo cornet at Mr. Alfred Mellon's concerts, is
playing solos at the Oxford. " The Exile's Lament,"
and " The Whirlwind Polka," are two of his pro-
minent pieces. In purity of tone, and fine infusion
of feeling, Mr. Reynolds is like the late Mr. Koenig ;
and it is in the tender passages of a melody requir-
ing the exquisite effects of vocal modulation that
the player excels. The instrumental portion is
further strengthened by the accompanied piano-
forte playing of Miss Bryant, a pianist
of the Royal
Academy, whose merits as a pianist arc warmly
recognised by the audience.
