CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
. .

But although he 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 Rieh, 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'■
my Joe, John." and " I am Rich," that's more 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 t e satisfactory—
Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, so we fly by night" to
A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF' GOOD
QUEEN BESS.
We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
Astley's would sac, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess,
therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi-
racy—Sir Walter Bale'gh fears his pipe will be put out -B.tcon gets
quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—but there's
nothing in that, what.,ver 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 TOILETTE

is introduced, in which tho Royal Wig ! the Royal Ruff ! ! the
Royal Blushes ! ! and the Royai Petticoat I! ! ! will mite their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN ItESS . . .

en deshabille, as she is represe,ted in a pi..nure at Hampton Court.
—What comes next will certainly fellow—and then will be seen
GOOD QUEEN BESS
n all her royal sple:,dour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Gool
Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she
scarcely knew upon which to deci,le"—aud 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 Alengon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
Henry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
Pickering, Charles Blount, and 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 " Iligh Horse," the story gallops on to

C lIMNOR HALL BY MOONLIGIIT—WiIsen.
"Coming events cast their shadows before"—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ket.;hy—" Put out the ligkt,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
worth— He stops at Love's half-way hou,e, the Robsar Arms—" Oh,
Susanna," or rather " Oh, Amy !"—lf can't be said, " he makes no
bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but,
" being gone, Amy is herielf again "—that is to sac, a rather jealous
young lady, who in her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely
Bobby, to whom she sings the following pathetic stanza
" Come my babby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
'Your naughty dad to see."
And so they do
