...Harvard Glee Club and the Pierian Sodality will give their first concert of the season at Lyceum Hall, on Tuesday evening, March 25. We learn that the Pierians are playing even better than usual this winter; while, in spite of many obstacles, the Glee Club will, we doubt not, acquit itself well. The Pierians are to play the overture, Le Lac de Fees, by Auber, the Inman Line March, Grafenberger waltzes, minuet by Mozart, solos for the cornet and violoncello, and a piano-forte duet. The Glee Club will try conclusions with May-Night, by Abt, Trooper's Song...
...ocean alone, may make time pass pleasantly by flirting with one or two elderly gentlemen, or that some one gentleman may be tired of his wife, is not unlikely; but when all the passengers seem to have a touch of some kind of matrimonial infelicity or another, the play certainly borders upon the unreal.

The support was unusually weak for the Globe, but may be accounted for by Mr. Sheridan's illness and the consequent changing of parts. Poor as it was, it hardly needs an apology, for it served as a dark background upon which Madame Janauschek's superb acting stood...
Boston Theatre.The return of Miss Maggie Mitchell, one of Boston's favorites, has been received with crowded and enthusiastic houses. The play last week was "Jane Eyre," a play which gives full scope to Miss Mitchell's superior abilities as an actress. Mr. Shewell, another old Boston favorite, furnished a fine support as Lord Rochester, while the rest of the cast was very creditable. Taken as a whole, it was one of the finest pieces of acting we have ever seen at this theatre, and forms a vivid but not unpleasing contrast to the ghastly and sanguinary drama which...
...shows to the public either by open avowal or otherwise, that he considers himself competent to lead it along the highway of jollity, it will immediately draw down its face, ridicule his assumption, and refuse to recognize his ability; if, on the other hand, he brings his satire into play, clothing his humor in sober, innocent-looking phrases, all with no apparent purpose of provoking a smile, his point is gained; the public laughs and commends...
