The Academy contained one of the best
audiences of the theatrical season last
night, when a large and capable company
presented the Hanlons' favorite panto-
mime, -Superba." The spectacle has been
redressed in most elaborate form, the
scenery is dazzling. the lighting effects
are pleasing, and the performance is ex-
cellent throughout. Adra Ainsir~ Madga
