There ate three tiers of loxes which g:.) completely round
the llou-e, and two ranges which form part of the circle in
which the two shilling Lalrry ..:pear,,. On each side of the
pit there arc seven pi ivaie boxes. The st c(,tia tier of boxes
appears Ye; y conspicuous, from the lower part of their front .
projecting out more than the others. This at presetit has
rather a heavy etieet.
In the who'e Theatre we saw nothing so truly beautiful as
the con idor to the grand saloon. A dome, tastefully adorn-
ed midi sttreeo work, is supported by eight magoificent pil-
lars made to imitate sciola marble. Two superb staircases.
conduct the visitors to it, which, though essentially useful;
are not more usefid than ornamental. We should but lose
time in attempting to describe it, as even in its present unfi-
nis.hed state it surp sscs description.
The saloon itself is entitled to praise. It is more spacious
than that of Covent-garden Theatre, and, when completed,
will be found. equally elegant and commodious. Altoge'her
, the interior of the Theatre furnishes a highly gratifying spec-
tacle. We hope care will be taken to have it well vf 11:jilted.
At present we arc not thoroughly satisficd that stalicie;it at-
tention has been paid to this.. In every other res;;ect neilier
1 pains nor expellee appear to have been spared, and the 'I tica-
tre seems likely to possess (inside at least) all th.a taste count
' dictate or prudence suggest.
