public have rightly estimated this experiment,
and the house, which had unfortunately been long
closed, has once more assumed the appearance of
gaiety and enjoyment. The last of the revivals,
Pasquin, one of FieldPg's best dramatic attempts,
i
has been put upon the stage in an excellent manner,
the necessary curtailments have been made, and the
wit of a hundred yeais ago, zepolished for the edifi-
cation of a modern audience. The experiment has
proved the judgment of the manager and 'the good
taste of the public. A most efficient corps de ballet
have also exhibited their agility and skill in the science
of Terpsichore. The principal female dancer amongst
them is a young lady; Miss Rosins Wright, whom we
remember ;wnen
a very youthful candidate for fame,
gaining a deserved reputation as a minature Colum-
bine; since that time she has perfected herself in her
professional education by all the knowledge which is
to be acquired in Paris and elsewhere, and she is now
one of the most elegant and finished artistes we' have
seen for some time. To a very
sylph-like figure she
adds the attraction of a handsome face and all the
fascination which is to be derived from graceful mo-
tion and attitude. ' Upon the whole, the amu'ements
of this theatre are in good style, and deserve patronage.
