Mr. BARRINGTON is the life and soul of the show; withdraw him, and then there would be precious little left to draw, excepting, of course, the _mise en scène_, due to Messrs. HARRIS and CARTE, if I may put the HARRIS before the CARTE,--and to the Scenic Artist, CRAVEN. Nor must I forget to mention the Electric Lightists, Messrs. LYONS and KERR, which last is a queer combination of names, from the king of the forest to the lowest of snappy dogs. Miss ROSINA BRANDRAM is, of course, excellent in what she has to do, and Miss NANCY MCINTOSH is equal to the occasion of her appearance. PERCY ANDERSON'S costumes are gorgeous and artistic; and to the "Parisian Diamond Company" are due the gems of the piece. The dances are by the ever fertile and agile D'AUBAN, and everybody who has contributed to the success of the show obtains honourable mention in the neat programme-card. * * * * * "Inquirer" writes: "I see an advertisement of a series called '_The Aldine Poets_.' Exceptional bards I suppose, as I was always given to understand that poets rarely eat anything. Will this series be followed by '_The Allunch Poets_,' _The Allbreakfast Poets_,' and '_The Allsup Poets'_? The last-mentioned, of course, will sing in praise of ALLSUP'S Ale." * * * * * Transcriber's Note: Missing or damaged punctuation has been repaired. Page 197: 'wav' corrected to 'way' "There's no entrance to the music-hall this way." Page 197: 'champage' corrected to 'champagne' "Take a _carafe_ of champagne--there is plenty more." Page 204: 'aRd' corrected to 'and' "What never?" and "Hardly ever," which, taken as applying to our most recent tragical ironclad disaster, is thoroughly appreciated.
