OLYMPIC THEATRE.
Since last Tuesday, the favourite drama Secret
Service has been substituted for the Daughter of the
Stars, in consequence of the temporary indisposition
of Mrs. Stirlirg ; she is expected, however, to resume
her duties on Monday next. Secret Service has
been received with great applause. It appears to
greater advantage in this theatre, and the actors seem
to feel more at home, and the play " goes"
better in
this larger theatre. The houses are every night
overflowing. The public is now taught to look for
comfort as well as amusement in a place of entertain-
ment, and in the Olympic they meet with both in
perfection. The stalls and dress circle in this theatre
are admirably arranged, and the private boxes are
luxurious ; while the separate entrances to various
parts of the theatre give great facilities of entrance
and exit. The new extravaganzl receives nightly
applause; it has been much improved by some judi-
cious excisions. The orchestra is remarkably good ;
it plays with precision and feeling.
