ROYAL PRINCESS'S THEATRE,

be pantomime at this house is,. we understand, a
titZelnation of gorgeous splendour, mixed up with 5ur-
.4,24g fun. The subject is taken from the celebrated
ri tale, by the Countess Danas, called "Cherry and
: nil' Star." Many will recollect the splendid spectacle
th 'went Garden Theatre, some 30 years ago, bearing
etaame name ; but the incidents are now materially
kit
ted- The hero is dispatched in search of the "Green
lid," the "Dancing Waters," and the " Singing Tree,"
h. of which he must acquire possession of to liberate
t;l4 cousin and betrothed wife, the lovely Fair Star, from
til:NPower of a potent evil geni, rejoicing in the name
to "jilum Sling. The lovers are assisted by Everwe-
bliall) the Peri Queen, and her faithful attendants, Irmo-
k44 ,ee and Truth. After many miraculous adventures
hi. hair-breadth escapes, surpassing any that have ever
been described, either by Marco Polo, Sir John Man-
", or Ferdinand Mendez Pinto, all ends, of
(),,..le, happily—the lovers being united, after under-
'eeh inseparable probation of the usual temporary
a'age into Harlequin and Columbine, with their per-
aors as the Clown and Pantaloon. The story, as it is
4indled, affords an almost unlimited scope for mecha-
Neal effects, active evolutions, fairy metamorphoses,
',Thaeeful Terpsichorean tableaux, and scenic display.
."e ..pantomime is by Mr. George Ellis, the stage
eager, assisted by Mr. Cormack in the harlequinade.
,e resources of the establishment have bern actively
Cl'loyed, from the very commencement of the season,
p-..ake this grand Christmas entertainment before the
'le in a style unprecedented at this theatre.
