DRAMATIC.

BOSTON THEATRE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

MR. EDWIN ADAMS appeared at this theatre on Monday evening in the dramatic version of Tennyson's "Enoch Arden." The author followed the poem very closely in plot and detail, giving special prominence to the part of Enoch. Mr. Adams sustained this character in a quiet appreciative manner, which showed a marked improvement over his former acting in Boston. We recommend this play to all lovers of legitimate acting.

The Museum.THE "Christmas Supper" has been the attraction at this theatre for the past week. The play is fresh and full of humor. If one can make himself believe that a woman can so successfully disguise herself, by simply wearing a blond wig and a ball-dress of a different color, that her husband's eye does not recognize her, then to him the scene where Madame Gaillardin flirts with her husband would be delicious; but we are all the time kept wondering that he can't see through the thin disguise, and thus we lose half the fun.

However, for all we know, men may be so little acquainted with their wives in France as to make this probable, and we should be sorry to find fault with a play which, taken as a whole, is so good.

In the scene at the supper, Mr. Warren, Gaillardin, clearly outdoes himself, while the other parts are well sustained. Much of the scenery is new and the appointments elegant.

The Globe.ON Tuesday Boston gladly welcomed back her old favorite at this theatre. She is as charming as ever, and in better voice. Her troupe, with the exception of the celebrated M. Duschene, are mostly new to Boston. M. Juteau and Mlle. Roland have already become established favorites.

Pierian and Glee Club Concert.THE concert given by the Pierian Sodality and Glee Club, last week, was the most enjoyable one that has been given here for years. Both societies showed great improvement, and especially the Pierians, who seem to have succeeded in creating quite good music in place of the woful discords we have been accustomed to expect and receive from them. The society is certainly most fortunate in possessing such an efficient leader as Mr. Dodge, and it is a source of profound regret that he is a Senior and will graduate so soon.

It is a fact worthy of especial notice that this concert is the first for several years in which the society has not been compelled to employ professionals to pull them through.

The gems of the concert were the tenor and violoncello solos, both of which were admirably rendered.

The selections of the Glee Club were rather too heavy, in our opinion; but their performance was creditable, especially in the renderings of Ab's "May Night" and Schumann's "Dreamy Lake."

The same programme was repeated on the 31st at Jamaica Plains, but with very poor financial success.

Theatricals at Dorchester.SOME very successful theatricals were given by Harvard students, at Lyceum Hall, Dorchester, on Tuesday last. The programme consisted of the farce "That Nose," and the burlesque "Lurline."
