THE GREAT PANTOMIME!!

WHERE TO SEE IT.

Through all the year. there's one 'Tight happy time,
Tnat brir gs with it its own peculiar pleasure;
When pleasant twos beam with br!ghter
And mirth abounds with more abundant measure.

Old Christmas, theme of many merry lays !
Founder of all things happy; spirit cheerer;
Again we hal thy corning with cur ',raise,
And new delights enjoy as thou draweat near.
But who's to have the merriest Pantomime ?
The nimblest Harlequin, the Clown most funny;
Most pleasing Pantaloon, and Columbine—.
To tee whose wonder. we must pay our money.
We've conn'ii the news, and strong inquiries made.
Of every one, in all the likely places;
Been one or two, and though not in the trade,
Have some id.a who will win the races.
At Drury Lane they're busy we'll engage,
For work g es on in every hole and corner ; '
And" oxin Night" wilt witeess on the stage,
The history of " Little Jacky Horner."
The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood," will be
The source of Mr. Ruckstone's new attraction;
At the Lyceum, " Lela itcokh " will cause,
In money matters quite a bri'k re-action.
" The Beauty and the Beast," at Seller's Wells,
And " Romeo and Juliet " at the Surrey,
With many others erace the Li ndon bills,
Wirier we won'd mention, but we're in a hurry.
In Liverpool, four Pantomimes! will be
Produced. ti gratify each pleasure lover;
But one will rise abt.ve the rest su Tema,
As certainly the public will discover.
"Four Pantomimes" we hear some one exclaim,
We've but three thsatres within our Borough;
Indeed 1 the Pantomime u e mean, will be
The surest meaas cl driving off grim sorrow.
'Tis not the Pipet in Bo its" we mean, nor yet
Is it the " Undine, or the Water Spirit,"
Nor yet " Red Riding Hood," for which we claim
The just applause, which this Is sure to merit.
" Whe.-e shall we see it?" at the Butter Place
Thu place of places best.. the highest, greatest;
Where Kelp rules, and where h s beaming hes
Smiles kindly still, from early hour to West.
Vt'h tdo you ca'l this Pantomime? Pray say ;
Weal tril IF you wil give it your attention;
Its title is —"Be honest to tr a last,"
"harlequin the great of good intention."
The Columbine by " Justice " will be played,
(For there the Pete ever dwells we tell ye);
The Clown and Pa taloon by " Good" and "Cheap,"
The Harlequin of Go:;d Intention —KELLY ! ! !

Qaestion. —WIIO IS KELLY ?
At,swer —KELLY THE BEITTERMAN.
Question.—' !lEEE s 1113 PLACE ?
Answer.—TllE BUTTER PLACE.
Question.-WHERE'S THAT ?
Answer.—On, YOII GREAT FOOL.
