"False Shame," which has for some time been the attraction at this theatre, is a comedy deserving of great praise for simplicity of plot, grace of language, and especially for the naturalness and effect with which all its situations and stage-business have been arranged. To these latter merits, we think, it owes its success; for there is but one character of importance in the piece, - that of Lord Chilton. This part was assumed by Mr. Barron, and we regard it as one of the best efforts ever made by that gentleman in comedy. Although forced, from the necessities of the part, to imitate Mr. Sothern, this imitation was moderate and spiced with much originality. His support by Miss Clarke and the rest of the company, that of Mr. McClannin in particular, was excellent. Mr. C. H. Frye, a recent arrival at this theatre, has rather more talent than we generally recognize in the Museum's "walking gentlemen."

The Globe.At this theatre Mr. Florence has lately given us some good renderings of the leading parts of "The Ticket-of-Leave Man," and "No Thoroughfare." The support given him by the Stock Company of the Globe was probably as strong as he ever had the good fortune to receive; and by their means the several plays in which he appeared were relieved from the stigma of absolute dulness.

Boston Theatre.The past season of Italian Opera has been one of the most successful for many years. Patti, Parepa, and Nilsson are forgotten under the influence of Lucca's divine voice. And her acting was such that we knew not which to admire most, that, or her singing. The operas presented have been the standard ones, and although in each of them the beautiful prima donna had nothing to fear from comparison with her gifted predecessors, her roles in Fra Diavolo and Faust were most pleasing. Her support by the Company, although weak in the tenor parts, was, on the whole, good.
