There has been lull during the Lenten season, but the immediate future promises us no less than eight novelties To-morrow, Mr. Edward Terry will occupy his theatre again, a. revival of The Passport" being chosen for his opening venture, and at the Comedy Mr. Lewis Waller will produce "Tess," an adaptation of Hardy's celebrated novel. On Monday "Zaza" will be seen at the Garrick, Mrs. Leslie Carter in the title role. Wednesday will see Miss Edna May and others of our American friends back at the Shaftesbury, where they will appear in a new piece, "An American Beauty." Thursday has' been chosen by Me. Wyndham for his production, in town, of the English version of "Cyrano de Bergerac." A few nights later ti Vaudeville will re-open with "Les Fetards" (of Parisian fame), and the Adelphi with Mr. Wilson Barrett's version of "Quo Vadis" (a piece of a very different description). The eighth noyelty—which, as a matter of fact, is after all an old frieud—is to be a revival at the Prince of Wales's Theatre of "L'Enfant Prodigue," with Mile. Jane May in her original part. At ut least four other houses money is being turned away nightly, so theatrical managers can have but little to complain of in th (otherwise) bad times.
