be opened this evening as a summer theatre, under
the management of Mr.. John Gaisford. New Or
leans will literally support we have no doubt,
respectable place Of summer amusement conducted
with proper attention to decorum and morality.
Hitherto large portion of our community have
withheld their oountenance and support from the
establishment termed summer theatre, because in
their opinion it not conducted with sufficient
regard TO these important considerations.
Mr.. Manager Gaisford is, we think, a man who
knows enough of the world to be aware that It's
for the respectable portion of the community that
he must cater. They will be his supporters and
render his undertaking profitable one, provided
he manages his theatre in such manner as to give
1t a high tone and avoid those vulgarities which
so often disgust and outrage the feelings of ladies'
OF cultivated aud refined taste. We have reason
TO believe he will do So believing him to be a
shrewd and energetic man. We have found him
punctual to his engagements, polite and attentive
to his business, and with these qualities we think
he must succeed.
PLAcIDE's- This evening will be performed

getler with " CamaIalzaman and Badoura," form
an exceedingly attractive bill, and will be sure TO
fill the house.
