THE STAGE.

BOSTON THEATRE. - 8 P.M., Matinee Saturday at 2. To-night and to-morrow's matinee will be the last performances of "Pinafore" by the Ideal Opera Company, which made such a hit in it last year. To-morrow night, benefit of Thomas W. Keene in "Richard the Third." and "Slasher and Crasher." May 10, the "Prince of Palermo," an adaptation of "Boccaccio" by Suppe, the author of "Fatinitza," will be given. The cast insures an excellent interpretation of this amusing opera.

BOSTON MUSEUM. - 7.45 P. M., Matinees Wednesday and Saturday at 2. Miss Fanny Davenport is appearing as Mabel Renfrew in Augustin Daly's "Pique," supported by the Museum Company. Miss Davenport's acting is charming. Mr. Barron is good as Capt. Standish, U. S. N., Mrs. Vincent thoroughly at home as Aunt Dorothy, and Mr. Graham's tramp is excellent.

PARK THEATRE. - 7.45 P. M., Matinee Saturday at 1.45. On Monday, the Union Square Company began playing Mr. Edgar Fawcett's "False Friend," The plot depends on the attempt of Lucien Gleyre (Mr. Thorne) to pass himself off as Cuthbert Fielding (Mr. Courtaine), who is supposed to be dead. The dramatic interest is very great, and well sustained, although the materials are by no means new. The acting is, throughout, excellent, as is to be expected from this company. "French Flats," a very amusing piece, adapted from "Les Locataires de M. Blondeau," is in preparation.
