To prevent disappointment, it is respectfully announced by the
Management that ONLY SEVEN REPRESENTATIONS MORI
can possibly be given of •
The New, Grand, Comic Christmas Pantomime, entitled,
THE LADYE BIRD BUNTER !
OR, HARLEQUIN PIaNCE PEACOCK AND THE FAIR

The unequalled beauty of this popular production, and its great
success, would authorise its continued Representation for a much
longer period, but an important Engagement, previously entered
into, and to commence on February 14, necessitates its withdrawal
at that period.

will be given on Thursday next, Feb. 10th.

THE STORY OF THE PANTOMIME.

Once upon a time there was a certain Queen, whose name was
Goldenwing, and who had a very large family of daughters. Her
husband having long since been dead, the family was a source of
great anxiety to her, and she kept them at home, as well as she
could, in a beautiful bowerof roses and lillics. Her eldest daughter,
the fair Brillianta, was so exceedingly handsome that she attracted
the notice of Prince Eblis, who sought her hand, but was rejected,
not only by the young lady, but by her mother and all the
family. Shortly afterwards the Prince Peacock, a gay bachelor,
whose domain joined that of the Queen Goldenwing, becoming
tared of single blessedness, proclaimed that he would give a
mand ball, and invited everybody, far and near, in the hope
tnat from amongst the ladies he might select a
wife.

)nce became enamoured of her

fair Brillianta, with all
where I

or their marriage were being made by Queen Goldenwing,
wnen Prince Eblis, hearing of this, became so enraged that,
while the Queen was at the Palace of Prince Peacock, having sent
her children home to the Bower, he resolved to burn that beautiful
place to the ground, and all the family in it. Fortunately the
fair Brillianta remained with the Prince, carefully enclosed in a
large and lovely rose, to guard her from harm. As the Queen and
the Prince were looking from the battlements of the Palace at a
great comet which appeared at that time, a lurid light was
observed in the sky, while voices in the air warned the Queen of
what was doing by. singing, " Ladye Bird, Ladye Bird, fly away
home, your house is on fire, your children at home." On hearing
this the Queen became alarmed, and, with the Prince and her
daughter, attended by the Double-faced Guards, who never turned
their backs on an enemy, because they could not, flew to the scene
of the conflagration, where, in spite of the exertions of the good
fairy firemen, the Prince and his Guards were completely van-
quished by Prince Elbis, and Brillianta was nearly in his power
when King Fog, who had one night protected some of the little
Ladye bird children of Goldenwing, when they had stayed out too
late and become lost in his mists, suddenly appeared, and, calling
to their aid a shower of rain, not only extinguished the flames of
the burning Bower, but so befriended Prince Peacock and the fair
Brillianta, that they eventually became united and lived happy
•ver after.

with the Proprietor of this popular Theatre for the purpose of

The Proprietor (Mr. C. Hengler) has very great pleasure in
informing his numerous kind friends and patrons that, being fully
determined to sustain the high reputation they have been pleased
to confer upon him as a caterer for their amusement; he has
succeeded in making arrangements with the following Artistes,
whose well-known extraordinary talents have•. secured for them
" a world-wide and lasting. renown," and who, in their several
departments, have attained the " upper pinnacle of eminence."

lady may safely be termed the most finished and graceful of native
Equestriennes. The honour of her debut will be shared by

electrifying—astounding—surpassingly eminent.

Dancers;

MR. JOHN MILTON HENGLER,
will appear. The sensation he has created at Paris is unsurpassed
in the annals of prOfessional progress, and the name he bears
throughout the Continent, warrants the assumption that he will be
equally patronised and appreciated by an English audience.
