HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
On Saturday evening Mademoiselle Carlotta Grisi
made her debut for the season, in the character of Es-
meralda. The part of Esmeralda is peculiary her own.
She was the original Esmeralda. She has always
created a furore whenever she has appeared in the cha-
racter, and though others have attempted, none have been
able to approach her. Her pantomime is beautifully
expressive—her dancing is a perfect triumph of
choerographic art, and her youthfnl appearance, for the
absence of which in such a character no ski'l can com-
pensate, renders her the very Esmeralda of the author—
the very incarnation of the most poetical of the creations
of Victor Hugo. On her appearance she was warmly
welcomed by the audience, and cheered by her enthu-
siastic reception, she surpassed herself. All
werethe
pas were most effectively given, and
loudly applauded, and her pantomime was exquisite.
She was admirably supported by Perrot and St. Leon,
and the Esmeralda bids fair to be as popular on this, its
revival, as it was on its first production. It was pre-
ceded by Lucia di Lammermoor, with Castellan, Fras-
chini, and Coletti. The house was crowded. The
