SUMMER THrATRES.

SADLER'S Waccs.—Lafi night this pleafant
fcene of Summer Amufement opened for the fea-
fon in a manner which does infinite credit to the
new Managers. The interior of the Furore is tit-
•ed up with great Nine ; the decorations are fplen-
did ; and the scenery elegant and appropriate.—

the audience happy ; fur the wine was, like the

'7.cientil which Ls saribited 3rN niydtft of hi, tail*

iand exertion in this line, feems reflilved to main-
tain the reputation that the Royal Amphitheatre
has in jußly acquired. Zeluco, the Indian. Ballet,
which was announced in the bills as a novelty of
the fie ft attraetion, was pofiponed, in confequence
of the fudden indifpofition of Madame VOLA 14G t*,
who was to perform the principal female charaaer
in the piece. The Caledonian Marriage was fubfli-
toted, and, perhaps, a better fubititute could not
be feleited, as this petit Divertifement is full of in•
tereft. The dancing was excellent, particularly
that of a little girl about nine years old, who al.
ternately failed through the mazes ofharmony, or
tripped on the light fantaftic toe to the brilkelt
meafure. In fpeaking of the Horfemanthip, it is
only necefrary to fay, that Caossm AN and SMITH
exhibited in their hell ilyle.—Tht Pantomime had
many recommendations of novelty, and prnmifes
to be a favourite. The applaufe which accompa-
nied every fcene is the belt proof of its excellence.
The fccnery is new. The houfe was crouded in
every part.
The CIRCUS, which has been much ornamented
and decorated, was halt night opened for the Ho-
lidays to a very crouded audience. Every part of
the bottle was overflowing ; and the gaiety and
feßivity of the holidays feemed tti pervade the 1
Company. The Herfemanfhip was, as ufual, ex-
cellent ; and, after a variety of other Entertain-
ments, a new Pantomime was prefented, called, ,
"The Rival Statue:, or Harlequin Humoryl." This
Pantomime was well reeeivedi, but did not prefent I
much novelty, and owed its principal attraftion to
the excellent performance of Mr. MONTGOMERY,'
the Clown. There was no (cone which appeared
more to divert the audience than a reprefentation
of the exterior and interior of the (hop of the
Hardwareman in Leadenhall•ftreet, called " Dirty
Dick." A long is given in charalter ; when allud-
ing to the Rory of the lock'd up room of Blue6eard,
Dirty Did lays—

My blue room's as black as my hirt.
And my fpeEtres are ttarved rats and mice.

By a ftroke of Harlequin's Magic Sword, this dirty
(bop turned into an elegant ball and banqueting
room. This was the molt pleafing change which
took place during the performance.
The Entertainments of the Night, upon the
whole, gave complete fatisfa.ftion to the audience.
