The pantomime coming oat at this theatre is, as a matter
of course, the production of Mr. Nelson Lee, the well
known pantomime writer and j.,int lessee of this theatre ;
it is to be called "Anne Boleyn ; or, Harlequin King
Harry and the Miller of the River Dee." It is, as its
title denotes, historical, and from the unrivalled talent
of the writer in matters of • his kind, we are sure to be
treated to something of first-rate attraction.
