ROYAL COLOSSEUM TREATRE,.HT-116 ,Pipt-45 which
have been produced at this theatie_during the week are
such as to well sustain its high eliaV.cter for providing
first-class entertainments, at a low price, for the
working and middle classes of the town. " Richard
the Third," "Merchant of Venice," "Richelieu,"
"The Corsican Brothers," and ".Fatist and
.Margaerite,7 have been well - played by the
stock company, and received with the greatest success.
This has been more particularly the case with " The
Corsican Brothers," in which Mr. Loyclali's excellent
perspnatien of the twin brothers, aided by the extensive
stage resources for which this establishment' is so cele-
brated, set off the piece to the best-advantage, and con-
tributed to its great success. Large audiences have
attended the representations of all the plays we have
mentioned, and in nearly every case Mr. Loydall and
Miss M. Smith have been called before the curtain.
Besides the dramatic performances there is a miscella-
neous entertainment each evening in which the corps de
ballet, Mr. Townley, a Lancashire singer, and Mr. Par-
kinson, a good negro dancer, contributes largely to the
evening's amusement. The historical play " Hofer "
will be produced to-night, followed by the beautiful
drama, of "Flowers of the Forest?!
