HAYMARKET THEATRE,

This theatre last night re'epened its doors after a
longer recess than has for many years been custost
mary. The pieces selected were the familiar ballet
of " Bacchus and Ariadne," the old comic opera of
" The Castle of Andalusia," Mr M. Morton's farce
of "Friend Waggles," and the farce of a "Kiss in
the Dark." _ _

Tae ballet gave assurance that the clever Le-
clangs and the agile Miss Fanny Wright still
formed a portion of the company, and the addition
of a clever young danseuse, Miss Caroline Adams,
was also welcomed. _ _

O'Keefe's old comic opera was played on the last
night of the last season, and was received on this
occasion with as much approbation. Mr Buck■
stone's broad comedy as Spado, the comic bandit,
and Mr Compton, as the serving man who perso•
nates and tyrannises over his master, were sure to
keep up a constant flow of merriment; and Mr
Weiss's fine bass voice was shown to great advan-
tage in the florid songs of Shield and Arnold. Mrs
Weiss, Mr A. Matthison, and Miss Louisa Keeley
aid the vocal part, which really renders the libretto
endurable.
Mr Compton and the other favourite actors of

this theatre, Messrs. Rogers, Farren, and Clark,
and Miss Snowden and Mrs E. Fitzwilliam, gave
great effect to Morton's farce of " Friend Waggles,"
and the " Kiss in the Dark" merrily finished the
evening.
" God save the Queen" was sung with good
effect by the musical members, the entire company
giving their aid. The house, which has been
rendered bright by cleaning, was filled by a
fashionable and hilarious audience.
