HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The doors of this favourite place of amusement were last
evening again thrown open, and an immense audience
assembled to celebrate the occasion. During the recess the
interior of the house has been thoroughly repaired, and
newly painted in a very tasteful and elegant manner. The
prevalence of light tints, and the frequent use of gold leaf,
give the interior a rich and costly appearance. There are
no conflicting hues, nor anything to offend the eye with
glare, but there is a soft effulgence of colour, and a warm
glow of light, which give the house a gay and splendid ap-
pearance, well befitting a theatre under the direction of such
an artiste as Mr. Buckstone. The medallion relieves on
the panels of the boxes, which, owing to the darkness of
the ground, heretofore attracted little attention, are now
brought out with vivid distinctness, and have a very strik-
ing effect. This gallery of English dramatists includes
Shakspeare, Beaumont, Fletcher, Otway, Ben Jenson, Col-
man, Foote, O'Keefe, and many others. The boxes have
been hung with crimson velvet, fringed with gold, and the
light colour of the chairs, which have been substituted for the
old covered benches, where it was possible to introduce them
without too much sacrifice of space, produces the most
pleasing contrast imaginable.
" The Way to Keep Him," revived on the very last night
of the season that.concluded a few weeks ago, commences
the present one, with the same caste as before, save that
Mrs. Sinclair acts the widow Belmour in the place of Mrs.
Charles Young. Old-fashioned as it is, the comedy pro-
duces roars of laughter, and though there is no remarkable
point in the dialogue, sufficient amusement is created by
the perplexities of the sinners whose vices furnish the mo-
tives of the plot. On the appearance of Mr. Buckstone,
who sustained the character of Sir Bashful Constant, he
was received in so hearty and enthusiastic a manner, that
for some time he appeared completely overcome with the
warmth of the welcome. The comedy was followed by a
new Spanish ballet, entitled " The Daughter of the Guadal-
quiver," in which the renowned Perea Nena made her ap-
pearance, and executed some of her characteristic dances in
her most finished and exquisite style, at the terminationlaf
which she was rewarded with a perfect shower of bouquets.
The evening's entertainments were brought to a conclusion
with the petite comedy, " A Wicked Wife," and the lessee's
capital farce, " A Kiss in the Dark." We have nothing
further to add but our congratulations to Mr. Buckstone on
the brilliant audience that assembled on the occasion, which
gave augury of future prosperity and success.
