"The Honeymoon" is too well known to need any words of description here. The tale of the Duke Aranza's love for the beautifuland shrewish Juliana, and his masquerading after his marriage to her as a poor peasant, without lands, without castles, without servants, without any of the attractions which had allured the daughter of Balthazar, is a familiar story; but when we are sure of its all being well done, of the many minor parts being well filled, there is a satisfaction in listening to the oíd tale which always remindsone of the "Taruing of the Shrew." It was all this and more last evening. Miss Matherstill retainsall her fire and energy, all those many attractive little gestures which have made her so perl'ecily delightful, and which uhe uses only now and then, that they may not become too common by familiarity. In the merrymaking on the green with the village " lads and lases"she becomes one of them and i-kips about so gaily that her audience long to join in ihe dance from the very epirit which she puts into it. Miss Mather has always heen a f'avorite, she will always remain one, and so long as she has the U8iial!y excellent company which support lier during her present engagement, she will never lack for an appreciative audience. Dan Maguinnis, who played the part of Jacques, the false Duke Aranzi, during the absence of his lord, was hearüly welcomed. He is vne of thos few actors who never fail to enter oompletely into their parts. Miss Bonner had tha pleasing part of Volante. She has a ruerry lauh and careless, ga manner, and from them made her parts pleasing. The rest of the conipany, particularly Miss Virginia Marlowe as Zamora, Mr. J. N. Long as Lopez, and Mr. J. C. Padgett as Dr. Lampedo, were exceedingly good .
