Pantom,me nj the Walnut.

1t is possible to have too much of any good
thing, and pantomime all the year round might
become tiresome. As an occasional performance,
however, and agreeable variation from
the usual round of theatrical amusements, there
is no more enjoyable entertainment than good
pantomime, and the comicalities of "Clown,"
"Pantaloon," Harlequin" and "Columbine"
appeal in the strongest manner to the love of
fun which is inherent in all well-constructed
and healthy human organizations. The panto-
mime of The Three Hunchbdcks, which was
produced at the Walnut last evening, is founded
on one of the old stories of the arabian Nights,
but like all true pantomimes, it does not pretend
to stick to the subject, but wanders off in every
direction and seeks to promote the amusement
of the audience by every possible device. Many
of the tricks we recognize as old favorites, but
there are number of new ones which are iu-
genious, aud the arranger of the pantomime has
evidently endeavored to combine as many en-
tertaining features as possible.
piece like this always works awkwardly at
first, but the performance at the Walnut last
night was exceedingly bad even for first enter
tainment. The people on the stage frequently
wandered about in the most aimless manner,
the tricks worked badly, and nobody appeared
to understand the stage business. Under these
circumstances, no just estimate of the panto-
mime could be formed and we propose TO speak
more in detail with regard to it hereafter, when
it runs q little smoother.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.


ssTsondon Assurance, at the ChesnuL
london Assurance was one Of Boucicault's
fret great hits, and he has never since done any
thing better, while he has produced very great
many infinitely worse pieces, a majority of
which have happily had their day, aud have
been forgotten. London Assurance has the
symmetrical proportions of an old-fashioned
comedy, and 1t is at once well written and skill
fuly constructed. The dialogue is witty, the
situations are exceedingly effective, and there
is scarcely piece on the stage that presents a
greater mum Der of frst-rate acting characters.
Toe greatest objection that can be made to IL is
on account of the unnecessarily profuse
use of expressions not tolerated in
polite society, aud IL conscientious
stage managers would carefully eliminate the
damns, the play would he much more enjoyable
TO many who are not uureasonably fastidious,
but who have no partiaity for unnecessary pro-
family on the stage off It, We siacerely wish
we could say with "Bob Acres" that 'damns
have had their day." for while they add nothing
to the attractiveness of such piece as London
Assurance, they tend to confirm the prejudices
against the theatre, and are offensive to good
taste, to say nothing of decency and morality.
London Assurance was performed last even
ing at the Chesnut for the purpose of presenting
Miss Fanny Davenport in the role of LADY
Gay Spanker." This young lady established
herself in the favor of the playgoers of this
city when she was ATTACKED to the Arch Street
Company season before last as soubrette, and
she received q cordial welcome last evening
from a crowded audience. Since she has been
absent from this city she has improved greatly,
and her performan ance last night was sufficient
proof that che has Inherited her full share of the
family talent Her Lady Gay" was dashing,
brilliant, and highly effective personation, and
with all its high animal spirits 1t was distin-
guished by lady-like grace and real refine
ment which some of the representatives of her
steeple-cbase-riding ladyship wrongly imagine
are not in character.
The play, apart from Miss Davenport's ''Lady
Gay" was admirably represented, all the lead
ing parts, without exception, being performed
in excellent style. Mr.. Davenport was the free
and easy "Dazzle;" Mr.. Phillips the old fop
''Sir Harcourt Courty;" Mr.. Thorne ''Charles
Courtly;" Miss Lily Vlning Davenport "Grace
Harkaway;" Mr. Fyffe "Max Harkaway;" and
Mr.. Lennox 'tMeddle."
