MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES

sThe Lady of the Lake" is having fair houses at
Nibl0's and will be continued.
Mr.. Gye has Mile. Albani under his management
for u tern of years. Hence the laudatory London
remarks this season.
Neuendorn announces grand concert and
operatic performance to take place at Terrace
Garden this evening.
Mr.. NJ Pattison, the eminent American pianist
played last week ut Hudson, n. T., his brilliant
polka de concert and Liszt's "Campanela" in q
style that the local critics said reminded them OF
GOttscnalk.
gilmore gave q very attractive concert at the
Twenty second regiment arm0ry last night, at
which selections from Rossni Bale, Meyeraeer,
Flotow, Mendelssohn and Handel were rendered In
very creditable manner. After the concert came
a mop OF the most enjoyable description.
Tne last three performances or tine season at
Dalys Filth Avenue Theatre are to be given on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Tomorrow
night "Loves Labor's Lost" s TO be reproduced; !;
on Tuesday. "Charity," and on Wednesday. "Mon-
sieur Aphonse.r After each OF these plays there is
to be an additional ntertainment.
II is certainly pleasant thing that Frank Kerns
and Johnny Thompson are to meet tomorrow
night alter severance for ten years. We do not
know what has kept these gentlemen apart for so
long time; but, anyhow, we are glad that 1t is
conjectured as something awful else the Theatre
Comique managers would not so widely spread
the announcement that 1t has ceased to act.
''Fate" is to be produced at Walacks tomorrow
night to open the summer season at that theatre.
This play is the production Of Mr. BARLEY Camp
bell, dramatist whose work has not yet been
passed upon by New York audiences. The play
must not be prejudged, but 1t Is certain that the
topics OF the acts as advertised, do not declare
that there ls much originality in it. 1t is hoped
that they are bad indicators. Miss Carlotta lie
Clercq is to play the heroine in ''Fate."
1t Is an unpleasant duty to task = young actor
with breaches OF propriety. even though they are
OF the most garing kind. We cannot, however,
pass the negligence 0tthe performer at Niblo's
who wishes to appear like the Malcolm Graeme
whom scott drew, without troubling himself to
read the wizards description OF the young Scottish
noble. In the poem Maicoim's hair is described as
Curcd closely round his bonnet blue;
yet the performer at NDl0's wears the backest OF
curls sweeping his shoulders.
What is known as the bad season for theatres
has come, and several OF our places OF amusement
have already closed. Wallack's, Booths and the
Metropolitan theatres closed last night. During
the coming week several other establishments will
end their regular seasons. In Brooklyn the thea
the part OF tneatre-g0ers. Mrs. Conway's Theatre
has had miserable season, though most of the
performances there would have graced any metro
p0litan theatre. The new Park Theatre has done
somewhat better with the aid or popular 'stars''
and minstrel companies. It still remains open,
and Schumann's Transatlantic Novelty Company
Will occupy 1t during this week.
Mr.. ]. B. Booth gave up the management of Booths
Theatre with the conclusion OF it's regular season
last night. HIS career was checkered like that OF
his predecessor IN the management OF the institu-
ti0n. Mr.. McCuliough's performances wound up
the season in a way that prevents the comment
that iv feeDly fickered out to be passed upon
Booths as upon other m0ribund theatres. Booths
Theatre. however, is to be revived. Temporarily
Mr.. Maurice Grau will, with Salvini, try to infuse
life into It, The Italian tragedan will appear at
the theatre on Monday, the 9Th inst, and through
out the following week. Alterward the
agents " Messrs. Jarrett Palmer will
take charge OF the theatre to prepare
it for the next season, which, they say.
is to be full or great things. revival
of shakespeariau plays is projected for the begin
ming OF the season, In which Miss Charlotte
Cushman and Mr.. George vandenhon are to take
part. After these Mr.. Joseph Jefferson. 1t Is under
stood. will play at Booths, and 1t is to be hoped
In another character than Rip Van Wrinkle.
Finally, Messrs. Jarrett Palmer will bring on the
'noted foreign artlsts,n whom they are said to be
engaging during their present EuropcanNtour.
