nthybisaid of the gallery, it is not one-third, ovens-fourth,
the use of that of the otter house, and on the back seats the
stage is quite invisihle. Evidently this theatre has been
eonstracted le run down the other boors, and oeeupy its po-
sition with all the exclusiveness attaclved to it. It, as I pre-
tend, this be the object in view, I prAlict a most lamentable
failure. The aristocracy will not abandon their habits and their
old haunts, their fashionable lounge and their admirable ballet,
es wretchedly caricatured at Cov'.ant Garden; their affections
are not for music as an art, they prefer a caper to a roulade,
and the Pas des Dimas to tt. a best overture that ever was
written. If the ballet is urn worth airing for, let it be
abandoned; if, oa the con/sary, it be considered indispen-
sable, spare no are or exp,,nse to induce the public to stay
to see it, for at present no sooner is the opera over then the
theatre is almost empty- such was the case last Saturday,
when the only good &incur they have, Mademoiselle Ba-
dents, made her &ibid. In my opinion the managers have
' been fed away by a false idea : they want to overthrow the
old dynasty; they wi:ii not succeed : let them, on the contrary,
apply to a different public—the middle classes—the million,
who really love wale as an art ; let them lower their prices
1 to suit the pocket/. of theme, and success is certain.—A. Lorna
