Anyhow, _Hypatia_, if not "a famous victory"--is at least a fine spectacle, with some fine acting in it, but this is mainly confined to Mr. BEERBOHM TREE. As the very heavy father, Mr. KEMBLE has not been allowed half a chance. Why should he not alternate characters with Mr. FERNANDEZ, and for three nights a week appear as _Cyril_ the Bishop, while FERNANDEZ would be _Hypatia's_ parent who has to grovel on the steps while his highly educated child is lecturing, who has to comfort her in her terror, and be turned out neck and crop whenever nobody on the scene wants him, which by the way, happens rather frequently. The music to a Drama is generally a minor affair, but, in this instance, it is both major and minor, and has been specially written for the piece by Dr. HUBERT PARRY. As this play is not an "adaptation from the French," the music of this Composer is the only _article de Parry_ about the piece, and, being strikingly appropriate, it proves an attraction of itself. It is conducted by the Wagnerian ARMBRUSTER, who, with his Merry Men, is hidden away under the stage, much as was the Ghost of _Hamlet's_ father whom _Hamlet_ irreverently styled "Old Truepenny." Altogether a notable piece. _Prosit!_ THE B IN A BOX. * * * * * CHEAP LAW IN THE CITY. _Probable Development of the new "London Chamber of Arbitration," for the economical Settlement of Disputes without recourse to Litigation_ [Illustration: "'Ave yer got sich a thing as a second-hand murder defence, Guv'nor?" "Could you direct me to the Breach of Promise Department?"] * * * * * OUR BOOKING-OFFICE. The one volume entitled _My Flirtations_, written by MARGARET WYNMAN (so like a real name!), and published by Messrs. CHATTO AND WINDUS, consists of short stories setting forth the varied experiences of an uncommonly 'cute young lady. It is a literary portfolio of lively sketches of men and women, "their tricks and their manners," all most amusing, and told in a naturally easy and epigrammatic style. Some of the characters are evidently intended for portraits, which anyone living in the London world could easily label--(which by changing "a" into "i" would be the probable consequence)--were he not baffled by the art of the skilful writer, and by the equally skilful illustrator--our Mr. PARTRIDGE--who have, the pair of them, combined to throw the reader off the right scent. The one mistake--not a fatal error, however,--which this authoress has made, is that of getting herself engaged in the last story. Not married, fortunately; only engaged. Consequently the match can be broken off. Let her be "engaged" on another volume. She can be married at the end of volume three, and may give us her experiences as the wife of Mr. Whoever-it-may-be. Will the clever authoress accept this well-meant hint from her literary and critical admirer, THE GALLANT BARON DE B.-W.? * * * * *
