Last week the attraction at the Boston Museum
was 1.-The Geneva Cross written by George
Fswcett Rowe and revived for the first time IN
four yeas 1t is a matter of establishment that
Mr. Rowe could have written such stupid
thing as Brass" after giving us such supe-

A, the Globe ,heatrs ia'i week The Oct1rooa
MAS great success, a. far as concerned pecunisfi-
( y. But the audiences we're far from satisfied
with the acting OF Miss Gusse De FORGET who
took the part OF the heroine, the Octoroon gin
Zoe. She appeared embarrassed and i'll at ease,
and 1t is very evident that she did not feel suited
to the part. There was lack OF pathos and emo
ton in the parts intended to be pathetic, which
was very noticeable. james Mahit as the Indian
was excellent, but Luke Schoolclaft was entirely
too demonstratve the negro Pete, and acted ia
a manner which would never be allowed even by
the most ndulgent mistress to a lavorte old slave
The scenery was excellent and the singing Of the
negro slaves was much enjoyed by all. TINS week
the Lydia Thompson Troupe minus the fascipat-

Charles Fecher is advertised to begin an er-

appointment, and Lemons" wa. again .ub.t;tat
