AN OUTLAY OF 50,0001.,
independently of the purchase of the Land, which cost 8,0001. No
expelse has been spared in carrying out all that ingenuity could
suggest from a thorough knowledge and experience of the require-
ments of this particular class of building, and to accomplish, for its
size, ,

THE MOST PERFECT THEATRE IN LONDON;

and, although it must be admitted the original intention was the

REPRESENTATION OF ENGLISH OPERA,
yet, from its peculiar situation, it would seem to be more particu-
larly considered as

THE COURT THEATRE,

and intended to introduce

THE HIGI-I-CLASS FRENCH DRAMA,
both Tragic and Comic, and the Opera Bun ; and when the many
triumphs that have been achieved, by skilful catering for the public
taste, are remembered, it may reasonably be expected that, under
popular management, similar' profitable results may again be ac.lom-
plished. The Theatre is elegantly and completely fitted up, and may
be readily converted either for English or Preach performances. It
has a cipital stock-of Scenery, all necessary Machinery, with Ward-
robe and Properties, and possesses also the great advantages of Two
Residences adjoining for the Management, and spacious Cellarage
beneath, let off at 1601. per Annum, in addition to the Rental to bo
produced from the Theatre.
May be viewed by cards only. Descriptive particulars, with a
