The _Pantomime Rehearsal is_ eminently funny; especially the first scene between the four men, Messrs. ELLIOT, DANEMORE, GROSSMITH, and BRANDON THOMAS. As for the last-mentioned, it is well worth a visit to this theatre to see Mr. BRANDON THOMAS in two pieces, first as the Model, and then as the Heavy Swell. It is a strong thing to say, but I can call to mind no actor on the stage at the present moment who could in two different characters on the same night so completely and absolutely lose his identity,--for voice, manner, action, and of course appearance are all utterly changed,--as does Mr. BRANDON THOMAS as _Gloucester_ the Model, and as _Captain Tom Robinson_. All the ladies are good. Miss HELENA DACRE looks magnificent. Then Miss EDITH CHESTER combines prettiness with fun, and the duet between her and clever Miss LAURA LINDEN is enthusiastically _encored_--and deservedly so, for it is seldom that two young actresses will "go in" for a real genuine bit of nonsensical burlesque, and win. In fact it is all good, "and if our friends in front" will accept my tip, they will not find a more "summery" form of entertainment than at Mr. EDWARDES' TERRY's Theatre. JACK-IN-THE-BOX. * * * * * HOW IT HAPPENED; _OR, MANY A TRU(RO) WORD SAID IN JEST._ "And the See of Truro, your Gracious MAJESTY?" asked Lord SALISBURY, as he was packing up his portfolio, previous to leaving the Presence. "Ah!" said the QUEEN, "for the moment I had forgot"-- "Quite so, your MAJESTY, if you will graciously pardon the interruption," put in the PREMIER--"that's the very person I would suggest." "Did I mention a name?" inquired the QUEEN, somewhat puzzled. "Your MAJESTY," replied the noble Earl, "observed that 'you had forgot.' I would suggest that the Bishopric of Truro should be _for GOTT_." Of course it was at once settled, and a _congé d'élire_ issued. * * * * * ETON JUBILEE CURIOSITIES. [Illustration: FLOREAT ETONA! _Mr. Punch_ (_to King Henry's "holy shade"_). "CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR MAJESTY, ON THE 400TH ANNIVERSARY!"] [If the following have been omitted from the Catalogue, any visitor to Eton is entitled to call on the Provost, Fellows, and Head Master, and ask for an explanation.] 1. "_I'm Monarch of all I Survey._" Original copy of ballad sung by the First Eton Ten-oar. 2. Old Sketch (landscape) of the Very Cross Roads near Surley Hall. Also portrait of SURLY HALL himself. 3. "_A Night on the Brocas_." Old poem, supposed to be the original of the scene "on the Brocken" in _Faust_. A curious mistake of GOETHE's, probably due to his not having been educated at Eton. 4. The original "funny" owned by Master JOSEPH MILLER, supposed to have provided him with the notion for his first jest.
