CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR.
But althougk ke comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm
reception—but where is he going? Why, to pay his yearly visit to
the Spirit of John Riah, in the
GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED FUN.
This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes—
" Who's dat knocking at der door ?"—Come and see —" J. Anderson's
my Joe, John." and " I am Rich," that's snore than every one can
say ; we wish they could—How to make a Pantomime ?—" that is
the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will l e satisfactory—
Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, se we fly by night" to
A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD
QUEEN BESS.

We now come to Histo-rical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bees,
therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi-
racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be pat out—Bacon gets
quite In a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—but there's
nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her
toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the
GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTI
is Introduced, in which the Royal Wig! the Royal Ruff! ! the
Royal Blushes I! ! and the Royal Petticoat !!! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trast to the " usual indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN BESS
en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Hampton Court.
—What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen

GOOD QUEEN BESS
in all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Good
Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she
scarcely knew upon which to decide"—and it is an Historical Fact
that the following were a few of them.
THE REJECTED ONES

Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa,
Prince Alencon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
rienry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
Pickering, Charles Blount, ailed the Earl of Arran. Good Queen
Bess appoints a meeting of these " wonderous proper men" at
Kenilworth, but declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go"
—and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to
CUMNOR HALL BY MOONLIG4T—WiIson.
"Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ketchy—" Put out the ligkt,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
worth— He stops at Love's half-way house, the Robsar Arms—" Oh,
Susanna," or rather " Oh, Amy !"—lt can't be said, " he makes no
bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but,
" being gone, Amy is herself again "—that is to say, a rather jealous
young lady, who in her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely
Babby, to whom she sings the following pathetic stanza :
" Come my babby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Tour naughty dad to see."
And so they do

KENILWORTH CASTLE
As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
" paid the piper." Thia, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity, for
all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true love never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " competi-
tetiks," and to him they do come " petit oars," for they prove per-
fect bears. or, snore properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tier for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
THE SPANISH ARMADA!

By Warner's Fulminating Blow-up—Tragedy has now done his
worst, and Rich finding that even Rich must become poor if war

continues, proposes a '7Peace Congress," and brings all to a dose

by making; hem all change their elothes—
The Earl of Leicester puts on the motley garb of Harlequin, K

Devlin.
Lord Burlelgh that of Pantaloon, M. J. Deulin.
The Earl of Essex that of Clown, Mr. C. Stilt,

♦nd Amy Robsart dons the Robe d'Amour of Columbine, Madlle,

The adore.

All we have further to say for Good Queen Bess is—Vivat Regina,
and off she goes." " Welcome, Old Friends, 'tie long since we
met t" " Here we are !" " How are you?"
