THE MUsEUM.-The admirers of Misses
Fisher and Ellerman, and of Messrs. Arnold
Tilla and Birch, assembled in goodly numbers
at the Museum, Saturday evening, to pay their
farewells. The bill embraced the second and
third acts of Fra Diavolo, and the amusing
comedy, or more strictly speaking, farce of
"Checkmate." The rendition of Fra Diavole
needs no comment, for its merits are well
known. 1t was evident that the listeners were
heartily sorry to hear the last of Mr.. Arnold.
The farce was capitally rendered. Mr.. Will.

of Sam Wrinkle, and gavel highly amusing
and very satisfactory Interpretation of the role
He approved himself low commedian of
much more than average ability, and will here
after be most heartily received whenever he
makes an appearance. He will remain at the
Museum. Miss Ellerman played the role Of
Charlotte Russo with spirit and vivacity. Mr.
Arnold was a finished Sir Elverton Taffy, ant
Miss Chiprendale a sufficiently pert Susar
Bum.

Fra Diavolo was the bill.

Booths Theatre, and Miss Isadore Cameron
make their appearance in Bulwe1's 'Lady Of
Lyons" The'cast is strong one. Miss Cam
erou appears as Pauline, Mr.. Bartlett as CLAUDE
and Mr.. Calder as CLAWS. A very pleasing en-
tertainment may be confidently looked for.
