Act of Romeo and Juliet, the lovers are resuscitated by
the magical art of Friar Lawrence, and there are a few
scenes of their conjugal life and matrimonial quarrels,
amusing enough, and enlivened by a few good vocal
parodies. The subject of the other piece is, if possible,
still slighter. A strolling actor and his wife, looking for
lodgings, light upon a landlord who lets them au apart-
ment rent free on condition of their occupying it, the
house being haunted. They take possession, and are
visited during the night by a succession of frightful
spectres, which, it turns out, 'are got up by a gang of
coiners, who occupy the house. This is merely a
vehicle for a series of " dissolving views," which are ex..
ceedingly ingenious and effective. The scenic exhibi-
tions of this little theatre, indeed, aro always admirable.
