OLYMPIC THEATRE.
Mr. Stocqueler has found out the method of ming-
ling amusement and instruction in due proportion,
and of making the drama a vehicle for the communi-
cation of useful knowledge. His new domestic
dramatic sketch, entitled Emigration—the Remedy, is
at the same time a most amusing drama and a most
instructive lecture on political economy. The scene
opens in England, where an agricultural and me-
chanical labourer are discovered " out of work," and
consequently starving. They are induced to emigrate
to South Australia; and no sooner have they ex-
pressed their determination to emigrate, than, by the
bidding of the potent Spirit of Industry, they find
themselves in the land of promise, and the miseries of
starvation in England are turned into the blessings of
plenty in South Australia. The piece was well per-
formed by Messrs. A. Younge, Leigh Murray, H.
Butler, and S. Cowell, and Mrs. Leigh Murray, and
at the conclusion Mr. Stocqueler was loudly called.
A new farce from the pen of Mr. Wigan, entitled
Law for Ladies followed, and was received with
shouts of laughter. The heroine, Mrs. Wigan, is a
bride who is disgusted with her husband, and who
having heard that cruelty is a sufficient cause for
divorce, endeavours, by every means, to induce him
to box her ears in order that she may at once com-
mence legal proceedings; of course she is foiled, and
after certain experiments she is reconciled to her
husband. This is a very amusing bagatelle, and was
completely successful. The drama of Monsieur Jaques
eluded the performances.
