This reminds me to mention their new departure in next season's programme, in the presentation of plays by living English authors. No longer will Sir Henry allow the criticism that all save Shakesperian plays are ignored at the Lyceum. His son's play Peter the Great will be welcomed with keen interest.. It will be amusing to watch Sir Henry make himself tall as Pater, by some method the reverse of his shortening Epcos 28 Napoleon. He is sure to accomplish the task successfully, as he knows not such a word as "fail." Ibmust be gratifying to the great actor-manager, to be able to produce a play written by his own son, and his friends, which means every one who has seen him even once, on or off the stage, will rejoice with him to the full in what is sure to be a triumph, and which will come as a Christmas-tide Dit of pleasure, the Lyceum company spending the autumn months -in a tour of the principal cities of England and Scotland. At present they are having a well-earned holiday.
