CHRISTMAS EN I ARTAINMENTS AT
11WYGERFORD HALL, S [RAND.

Tho juveniles " just let 'owe from school," as well as
persons of riper Scare, will find in the above establish-
ment a series of entertainments well calculated to amuse
and delight them. M. and Mine. Langlois's charming
little theatre, on the Strand side, offers nightly to a de-
lighted public all sorts of clever conjuring and legerde-
main. The new Tom Thumb, au imp three or four
years old, charms both young and old, The mechanical
rope-dancer, a pretty little automatan, about two feet
high, dances on and twists about the rope in so natural
a way that many p-rsons maintain it is a living being.
The Indian juggler Dj alma comes next, and goes through
his very surprising feats with admirable ease, dexterity,
and grace. The soirée ends by a series of beautiful
dissolving views, of different countries, and the pleasing
effects of the chromotrope. Parents and guardians de-
sirous of affording instructive pleasure to their children
or wards cannot do better than showing them the won-
ders at flungerford-Hall, where, in the daytime, aro to
be seen the splendid dioramas of ehevalier Bouton. On
the Ilungerford-bridge side is to be found M. Las-
saigne's theatre, • where nightly, except en Saturday, ho
goes through his wonderful experiments in animal mag-
netism, before elegant and admiring audiences; and on
every Saturday evening Dr. Leger lectures on, and de-
monstrates in a very clever way, the magnetoid currents
and the magnetoseope. Such is the bill of fare prepared
for "sight-seers" at llangerford-Ilall, where two spa-
cious bazsars offer an agreeable lounge and a pleasing
promenade.

PLAY HOUSE PRICES AT Tiff? OPERA.
Lock round the pit; Cruvelli is eirging her best
towards the end of the first act, and a lank-haired indi-
vidual is yawning, and actually cutting his nails with a
pen-knife ! Can it be! Yes, so it ia. Go back to the
Adelphi at half-price, young man, and do not delude
yourselt into the belief that a suit of black and a white-
tie will enable you to pass for a gentleman. See, further
on to the right, that lady in a tartan silk, with red
flowers in her hair, is trying to be amused, but the at-
tempt is useless. The music breathing from her face is
embodied in that long sigh of weariness, just escaped;
she secretly wishes herself at home " crocheting," and
begins to wonder what people can find to admire so
much at the opera. Two gentlemen and three ladies
have juit caught our eye, all yawning at once,
end the second act not over. Look in the grand
tier, and see that handsome boy, brought to the opera,
for a great treat, by his godfather. Ilow fidgety the lad
isl how he wriggles about in his seat! ho is thicking of
that "' capital pantomime " he saw last Christmas at
Drury Lime, and how lovely Madame Vestris looked
as King Charming last week; he is twisting the
finger-ends of his gloves into dirty rage, and
using his pocket-handkerchief a deal more than is
necessary; but the fidgets must have some outward
sign, or they become dangerous to the nerves. The act
is just over, and ho exclaims in restless impatience, "Is
it all like this? won't there be any fun?"—we hear the
godfather attempting to console him with whispers about
" beautiful dancing soon." Bless me, I never went to sleep
when I went to see Mrs. Siddens and John Kenable," says
the old lady, " I can't think how it is." Let as explain,
dear " original antique." You are a little older than you
were then; perhaps you have not been educated in the
German school of composition, and these grand masto-
dons of music carry immense and mysterious weight;
you have left your secret snuff box at home, and then,
the last fifty bars have been rather heavy; don's go to
sleep again, dear old lady ! and we will forgive you.—
