THE THEATRES.

BOSTON THEATRE. - 7.45 P. M.; Matinee, Saturday at 2. Leavitt's English Opera Company have been giving a burlesque of Bizet's "Carmen" during the week. The last performances of this piece, which is a tolerably good burlesque of a very pretty opera, will be given to-night and to-morrow. Escamillo, the valiant torreador of the original opera, is made a great coward, from whom Don Jose has little trouble in winning Carmen. Mme. Dolaro, who plays in the title-role, is a charming actress, and a very pretty woman. Miss Williams plays her part very cleverly. Next week, "La Fille du Tambour Major," by the same company. October 25, "Voyagers in Southern Seas."

BOSTON MUSEUM.- 7.45 P. M.; Matinees, Wednesday and Saturday at 2. The old comedy revival is proving very successful at this theatre, which, by the way, has been made very pretty and attractive. To-night, last performance of "Old Heads and Young Hearts." To-morrow, last two representations of "The Marble Heart." Monday, 18th, "She Stoops to Conquer" Few companies could interpret these plays to better advantage than the present Museum company.

GAIETY THEATRE. - 8 P. M. ; Matinees, Wednesday and Saturday at 2. "The Tile Club in Idle Hours" still holds the boards at this theatre. It is a play of the "Tourist" kind, though not so well done. Parts of it, however, are amusing enough.

GLOBE THEATRE. - 7.45 P.M.; Matinees, Wednesday and Saturday at 2. To-night and to-morrow are the last opportunities of seeing the gorgeous spectacle, "Around the World in Eighty Days," as presented by the Kiralfy Brothers' Combination. It would be hard to surpass the elaborate scenic effects which are produced in this play, while the performances of the "flying fairy," and of the ballet, are equally remarkable. On Monday, 18th, "Two Nights in Rome," with Maud Granger as the heroine, and a good support. Robson and Crane are announced for the 25th. This theatre has been made perhaps the most attractive in Boston by the alterations during the summer.

PARK THEATRE. - 7.45 P.M.; Matinees, Wednesday and Saturday at 2. To-night and to-morrow are given the last performances of Sol Smith Russell's "Edgewood Folks," in which he has made a great hit as Tom Dilloway. The piece is full of good situations, and is amusing throughout. Monday, 18th, Mr. Joseph Jefferson opens with a strong company in "The Rivals." There can be no doubt that his Bob Acres will be very good.
