Coored gifts are the latest novelty that Is being
introduced into American theatres. One theatre in
Philadelphia is to have them next season, and It Is
not at all improbable that many other similar esab-
lishments viii follow suit before che winter seaso
terminates. Colored screens are also being intro
duced upon the stage in place Of red fire, and the
light Yent through them answers all purposes, and at
the same time obvates the unpleasant smell and
efYectualy does away with all danger.

OF Mr.. Theodore Morse. Everything in the way Of
scenery costumes and stage effects has been done TO
make the play success and 1t will be no fault OF
the management II IL does not enjoy long and pros
porous run. There exists some little difficulty be-
tween Miss Iotta ana her father, which even yet
