ENTERTAINMENT NOTES .
Duke of York's . —The management have recently provided a lively little piece , just suited for their patrons on a warm summer evening . It is termed a musical farce , and is entitled " The Gay Parisienne , " written by Mr . George Dance , and the music composed by Mr . Ivan Caryll . Plots in pieces of this description are hardly necessary , so long as there is something to bring together plenty of pretty girls in charming costumes , with nice lively music and catchy songs , all of which are forthcoming in this case . The
heroine is an ingenuous young damsel who , being engaged to M . Auguste Pompier , has managed to get up " a breach of promise " against Ebenezer Honeycomb while on a visit to La Ville Lumiere , out of which she thinks to get sufficient damages for a respectable dot . She is , however , circumvented by Tom Everleigh , a budding barrister , who is engaged to Ebenezer ' s daughter Nora , and of course all ends in the usual felicitous manner . The chief burden of the piece rests with Mr . Lionel Rignold , who gets much amusement out of the faithless Ebenezer , Miss Violet Dene as Malle . Julie ,
Mr . Frank Wheeler as Auguste , Miss Edith Courtney as Nora , and Miss Belmora as Mrs . Honeycomb . Mr . W . H . Denny as Major Fossdyke , Mr . H . Kilburn as a German landlord , and Miss Louie Freear as a droll little servant , also lend valuable assistance in running the farce merrily along . The sprightly dancing of Misses Neville , Mclntyre , Grenville , and Milton is greatly enjoyed , and most of them have to repeat . These musical farces gain in humour by repetition , and at present this is at perfection's point , and bound to be enjoyed .
Alhambra . —The ever popular story of " Rip Van Winkle " has been annexed by Signor Carlo Coppi for his latest ballet , and having secured the assistance of M . Robert Planquette , Mr . T . E . Ryan , and Madame Alias , a brilliant spectacle in five scenes is now presented at this handsome house . The pantomime is capitally acted by Mr . Fred Storey as Rip , Miss Julie Seale as the termagant Frau , the Almontis , and Signorina Campana . The dances
and groupings of the corps de ballet are so arranged that the eye gets fairly bewildered , and rounds of applause greet the fall of the curtain . A very strong programme is presented in addition—including the marvellous " Animatographe , " the Russian dancers , the clever Lupus , and the good old Irish ballet of Donnybrook . This is one of the best entertainments in London .
Shaftesbury . —The charming Vienesse artiste , Miss Annie Dirkens , is now back here , playing her original part of Paolo in " The Little Genius . " The management wish it particularly known that there was no foundation whatever in the reports that this lady had seceded from the cast , the facts of the case being simply that Miss Dirkens' eng agement with the late Sir
Augustus Harris was until August only , but owing to the manner in which " The Little Genius " has caught on , the management wish to prolong her engagement for an indefinite period , and in order to do this Miss Dirkens had to get out of several continental contracts , to enable her to do which , the management gave her five days holiday .
Parkhurst . —The last fortnight has witnessed some interesting feature at this comfortable little North London house . Last week the attraction was the musical comedy , " An Irish Girl and her sweetheart Pat , " which was excellently staged under the personal supervision of the author , Mr . Harry Monkhouse . Miss Emelie Holt , as Norah Anstruther , fairly secured the
sympathy of the audience , while the other characters were well sustained by Mesdames Nellie Lauraine , Minnie Percy , Maud Mortimer , Blanche Blanchard , Phyllis Damian , Addie Percy , and Messrs . Edward Chester , J . C . Bland , Louis Bishop , and Edwin Garth . Some very clever dancing was introduced , the "Marionettes" being particularly clever . This week "The Gay Parisienne " has drawn some good houses .
Terry's . —Miss Bella Pateman , Miss Beatrice Ferrar , Mr . H . De Lang , and Mr . Sidney Brough have been engaged by Bro . Edward Terry for bis play " Love in Idleness " when it is produced here in October next . Herr Meyer Lutz , who was for so many years associated with the eminent comedian at the Gaiety Theatre , will look after the orchestral arrangements upon Bro . Terry's return .
Criterion Restaurant . —The Grand Hall of the Criterion Besturant , which has been newly decorated , is re-opened , and the table d'hote dinner served in this spacious saloon is now agreeably supplemented by the performance of the Royal Blue Hungarian Band , who provide a lively selection of
music during dinner . The Criterion , which has done so much to encourage in this country the Continental custom of dining out , provides a dinner which includes some choice dishes of French cookery . The menu is most ingeniously composed ; the service , which is no slight consideration , is excellent ; and a very good bottle of wine may be had at an unusually reasonable price .
" INVENTION , " which has enjoyed an existence of eighteen years , has just passed into the hands of new proprietors , who contemplate many alterations and improvements in the paper . The Journal will be placed under entirely new management , and additional valuable features will be introduced which , it is trusted , will commend themselves to all who are interested in any way
in inventions , or who are concerned in the adoption of improved processes in the arts and manufactures . The new proprietors have secured the services of Mr . Perry F . Nursey as Editor . This gentleman has had many years ' experience in technical' literature , and is widely known as a consulting engineer and scientific expert . The paper is published at Mitre Court , Fleet Street , London , E . C .
