*I I . After which will be
Produced a New Grand Traditionary and Local Comic
Christmas Pantomime, entitled THREE LEGS ! KING OF
; OR, HARLEQUIN LORDeni STANLIE AND THE
:EAGLE AND CHILD. The op and Story of the Panto-
Mime, written and invented expressly for, this Theatre by the
designer of the popular Pantomimes of " fhe Child of Hale,"
and "Harlequin Tim 13obbin." The Medley Overture and
Music of the openingcoinPosed by Mr. Fitzwilliam. The Comic
Scenes of the Harlequinade by Mr. E. L. Blanchard. The
Music of the Dances and Harlequinade by Mr. J. R. Webb.
Concerning the "EAGLE and CHILD," many have been the
conjectures as to the origin of the Stanley Arms, the " Eagle
and Child." Mr. Roby, In his "Traditions of Lancashire," is
supposed to give the most correct account, but though right in
some particulars, he is wrong in others, for, on the removal of
the aviary at Knowsley, beneath an old stone slab, was
discovered a leaden box, which, when opened, was found to
contain a volume, the leaves of which were so decayed, the
characters described in them could scarcely be deciphered.
But on submitting the venerable book to the Archaeological
Society, that learned body desdribed it to contain " Ye true
historie of Sir John Stanlie," with a full account of " Ye Eagle
and Childe," showing how "Ye descendants of that Doughty
Knight became Kings of Man ;" an abridgementof which forms
the story of the present Pantomime.
