SUMMERY MUMMERY.

I no not know how long the Summer Season at Terry's, now being
carried on by Mr. Ceorge Edwardes, is to last, but with a little
dexterous management there is no reason why this excellent form of
entertainment should not go on all the year round. At 8 there is
The Lancashire Sailor, by Brandon Thomas, which I didn't see;
but have heard a first-rate report of it from those who have, and who
"know." It might occasionally change places with A Commission.
However, this is but a suggestion, as both the pieces I saw the other
night will bear a second visit.

A Commission is a shoit one-act piece, with a sufficiently good
plot, and every part in it a character, except " Parker, the Maid "
—and here let me enter a solemn protest against the further use of

Pakker " as the name of a lady's-maid in farce or comedy.
Parker is play ed out. Let her be united to " Charles, his Friend,"
and let both enjoy their well-earned retirement from the stage.

Miss Lilt Hanbctrt plays " Mrs. Hemmersley, a rich young
widow," which cannot be described as "a poor part." With this
Lilt, who looks rich and is beautiful, the poor artist—a very poor
artist—one Marshall (without a Christian name in the bill, so why
not Snelgrove Marshall?) well played by Dr. Forbes Dawson, falls
desperately in love. Weebon Grossmith is very good as the servant
—almost better as the servant than as the author of the piece, and
that's sayiDg a good deal.

The Pantomime Iiehearsalis eminently funny; especially the first
scene between the four men, Messrs. Elliot, Danemore, Grossmith,
and Bkandon Thomas. As for the last-mentioned, it is well worth
a visit to this theatre to see Mr. Brandon Thomas in two pieces, first
as the Model, and then as the Heavy Swell. It is a strong thing to say,

but I can call to mind no actor on the stage at the present moment
who could in two different characters on the same night so completely
and absolutely lose his identity,—for voice, manner, action, and of
course appearance are all utterly changed,—as does Mr. Brandon
Thomas as Gloucetttr the Model, and as Captain Tom Robinson,

All the ladies are good. Miss Hedena Dacre looks magnificent.
Then Miss Edith Chester combines prettiness with fun, and the
duet between her and clever Miss Laura Linden is enthusiastically
encored—and deservedly so, for it is seldom that two young actresses
will "go in" for a real genuine bit of nonsensical burlesque, and
win. In fact it is all good, " and if our friends in front" will accept
my tip, they will not find a more "summery" form of entertain-
ment than at Mr. Edwardes' Terri's Theatre.

Jack-in-the-Box.

HOW IT HAPPENED;

Or, Many a Tru{ro) Word said in Jest.

"And the See of Truro, your Gracious Majesty?" asked Lord
Salisburt, as he was packing up his portfolio, previous to leaving
the Presence.

" Ah ! " said the Qfeen, " for the moment I had forgot"—-
" Quite so, your Majesty, if you will graciously pardon the inter-
ruption," put in the Premier—" that's the very person I would
suggest."

"Did I,7mention a name ?" inquired..the Queen, somewhat
puzzled.

"Your Majestt," replied the noble Earl, "observed that 'you
had forgot.' I would suggest that the Bishopric of Truro should be
for Gott," Of course it was at once settled, and a conge cVclire issued.
