THE MUsEUM.-The "Ticl1et OF Leave Man
at the Museum last evening, called out very
large house, as it deserved, and tonight 1t is
safe to predict still larger house. The play
was wonderfully well put on, and was the
most finished performance, everything consid
cred, which has yet been presented at this
popular place Of amusement.
Mr.. Arnold's rendition of Bob Briefly, the
convict, was an admirable impersonation. He
rendered the burr of the Lancashire man to
perfection, and his Characterization of the poor
fellow suffering from an unjust stigma, evinced
a strength and pathos that were mastery and
effective. 1t was fine piece OF acting Mr.
Arnold's makeup is always remarkably good
and last night it was even better than usual.
The support was excellent. There was not a
character that was ill taken. The cast was the
best that could have been made with the COM
pany, and evidently made with view to bring
out the best capabilities of each actor. This
gave finish to the rendition of the drama
which no play at the Museum has before
shown. Miss Isadora Cameron, as May Ed
wards, gave one of her usual finished and
graceful bits of acting. Mrs. Graf tan won
complete success as the garrulous old Mrs.
Willoughby, and repeatedly brought down the
house Miss Chippendale was capital Sam,
entering fully into the spirit of her part, and
giving one of the best interpretations she has
yet attempted. Mr.. Bascomb in Hawkshaw,
the detective, found part perfectly suited to
his style of ting, and in conjunction with
Mr.. Arnold, was called before the curtain at
the close of the fourth act. Mr.. Calder as the
oily "fence" and rascal Moss, gave rendition
which made marked and favorable impress
sion. Mr.. Verney as Jem Dalton. showed the
best thing that he has yet done, and his inter-
probation, thoroughly finished and artistic, is
deserving of high praise. Mr., Adams was a
good Mr.. Gibson, and Mr.. Richardson, the inn
keeper, an ex-funkey, was very happy.
The play will be given but twice more, at the
matinee and this evening. Judging from the
temper of the audience last evening, there will
be crowded houses.

TUE GRAND FrArrRN1ry ENTERTAINMENT.

THE GRAND FRATERNITY ENTERTAINMENT.
The season has advanced far enough now to
make the cold weather all the more attractive
because, through lengthening days, we seem to
catch glimpses of the coming spring. The
pleasures of life draw much OF their chafin
from contrast, and the most bigoted admlrer ol
warm weather might well welcome TINS frosty
season, as giving keener edge to his ENJOY
ment of the opposite. From the child not YET
out of the nursery, whose wondering curiosity
FINGERS the delicate tracery of frost work on
the window name. to the old man, who, over
his comfortable fire gets cheerler warinth
from the consciousness of protection from the
biting outdoor air, there are few persons who
do not find enjoyment in the 81 ghts and sornds
of winter.
But besides outdoor pleasures, winter is IA
nous for its indoor attractions. 1t is the sea-
son for hospitality and good cheer, and the
great fires that roar up the old fashioned fire.
place. or sigh in the modern stove or furnace,
certainly develop warmth of geniaty and
good fellowship which is all the more striking
from the cold without. In winter we have our
most delightful social pleasures, and in the
darkening afternoons and long evenings we
lnger most naturally around the festive board.
Who, whether young or old, would give up the
balls and parties, the operas, theatres, concerts
and lectures that minister to the aesthetic tastes
and the capacity for enjoyment which with the
changing years finds varied opportunities for
their exercise.
We are led to these remarks by noticing the
entertainment to be given in aid of the Frater-
nifty, on Monday evening next This annual
entertainment has become one of the fixed Tea
lures of winters campaign, and never fails
to meet with the success which it SO richly de-
serves. The secret is, that the details are al
ways carefully looked after and everything
about it is first-class. The public appreciate 1t
and crowd the halls and an,e-rcoms to reple-
ton. The scene is brilliant one, with or with
out decorations, the music offered charming,
and the only wonder is that so much can De
afforded for so little money. The work that
the Fraternity is accomplishing is certainly won
derful and it only needs the assistance of the
public at large to enable it to so forward to
still greater efforts
