AS this letter seems lik"iy IN drHI with
theatrical ulntters only, | must tell you nj
the grand rejnvenation nj our Boston
Museum. Evtrybndy inihe United States
knows OF the Boston Museum aud of tn"
famous old comedian, Wirtal, who IL Its
chief hnlwark. AZ ita nnmn Indicates, it
II really IL Very ,xgailsiyd museum of
curioslios oi many kinds, and probably
mnny s'aAllhy pnupi tn th' play" have
been nkon hy young people whose
paraith have permlted IT visit tu tho
lunoGrnt museum, but would never have
allowed child of theirs To set foot in u
wicked theatre. Then, too, there are IL
large Class OF people who go to the
Museum, but never to any other theatre,
on account of the deserved fame which
the place has always sustained for pro-
duoing only the very best plays and iii the
best manner. The stock company il one
of the very few good ones still remaillinP
III the country, and its principle peopls
are as familiar and M dear to Boston as
household intimates. 1t il almost I'M
possible to keep from bowing when we
meet dear old Warren, dignified Charles
Barron, graceful Annie Clarke or funny
old Mrs. Vincent.
Well, when we knew the Museum was
to be remodeled, we trembled and dreaded
it fearing never to feel so much at home
again. Bat il was useless scare. The
remodeling has taken place during the
summer, and though greatly enlarged and
beautified, it is still the same dear old
place. The stage has been sunk door
below where it was, giving a much larger
auditorium and two balconies, with
proscenium boxes, and other improve
ments. The orchestra has been sunk
beneath the stage, new and c0mmodious
exits and entrances opened, n perfect
system of ventilation adopted, the ceiling
exquisitely frescoed to represent blue sky
and summer clouds, and most artistic
curtain has been aaded to complete the
charming whole.
Scrap of paper and the Warren farce
Turn HIN Out" have been filling the
house the last two weeks, aud next Mon
day, the annual "Old Comedy Soason"-a
favOrite feature of this house-will open
with London Assurance" to be- followed
the next evening with "Old Heads aud
Young Hearts"
The other theatres are all doing big
business already, tue concert season IL
opening spleudidy, and as for the
lectures and entertainments, just let me
quote from the HeraM of the other
evening"
Music Hall Place was pretty efIecIuully
blocked as early as i O'Clock this morning
by those who desired to be purchasers of
the tickets to the Roberts Lyceum and
Old Boy Stale courses of entertainments
during the coming season. Many persons
were in line most of the night, and q
crowd of 30 was dispersed last evening at
S o'clock. Supt. Peck opened the sale at
q 10 u. ui. and continued it throughout
the day ROBIN.
