M. Jullien's Bal Masque. To Innocent Rea...
M . JULLIEN'S BAL MASQUE . To innocent readers of M . Jclliek ' s preliminary announcement it might have annexed that the Bal Masque was one of our national or at all ^ vents ^ S ? S 3 uZed institutions , which had suffered for the moment some loss ^ chScter from the Covent Garden catastrophe , but which the great Jcllien wa ? destinedTo ' rehabilitate . ' There was perhaps a certain impudence in this i ^ sumption , but the British public is indulgent and M , Juixnw knows it . The ; truth is and M . Jclli en knows it also , that the Bal Masque—which even in , Sris has decSnedI into a dull orgie of tenth-rate lorettes and hairdressers ' assistants ( garnished of course with plentiful police , and the usual ™ PP ^ j English Greens ) -never was and never will be acclimatized m ^ "Sjandl . Is-jeti . I Jc ^ lien himself ( whose celebrity , however , is more ^ Enghsh f ^ n ^ "cl . > ha , never , with all his trumpets , been able to make a Bal Masque » JJ ' ^ than k dull riot and a dreary sliam . The general manginess of the few men who have the evil courage , or the deplorable fatuity , to be funny on these occa- ; Sons ( vt do not speak o ( those unconscious tragedians , who we . mote or ess paS ^ SpeSonating soinebody or something ) -the degradation of the ^ wretched ... women , generally of an inferior rank even in that profession , who «« c swept-infrom doubtful streets-the din of trashy dance-music played ^ "OJ ( P « vid j 4 always there be noise enough ) -the expression of disgust and e »»«* on ^ «» J , faces of the mere spectators-and last , not least , the g hastly solemnity of , TrSiEV himself wiih his prodigious shirt-front , and that- equivocal red .: cSfa in his ou tonhole ,- ?!! these sights and sounds conspire tojnake SeBal Masque as intolerably stupid and dismal a Pandemonium as can be conceived What can we say of the latest of these exhibitions , eNcept that , w \ ueS or more dirty , neve / were the women more ugly . f "J" ^^ ^ SSfeaa ^ fe ^ stsSffi s = feriorityofhis recent concerts has not strengthened , M . Jullien will be too well advised to repeat experiments upon that proverbial indulgence ot the English public to which he owes so much .
3 ¦ The Pantomimes And Burlesques. The W...
¦ THE PANTOMIMES AND BURLESQUES . The whole world of « Faery , ' as by theatrical law established , was ^ tlvrowiv open to the ^ iuvenile creation , and the creation of papas ana mammas , last night at the ^ arSus London theatres . Gorgeous were the visions ot enchantment ; fasetnS the young ladv fairies in the flesh-coloured tights ; . prodigiously SSSJs : superhumanly dazzling the harlequins ; ceaselessly . patternT Se joke ? , good , bad , aiid indifferent . These Christmas gaieties being produced only a Tew hours before the time we go to ^ press , we cannot pretend to Sve a critical account of them ; but we propose to be niore in season next week and in the meanwhile we append a slight index to the chief splendoms—an ¦ index which the reader wilL be so good as to consider the reverse of
xxpurga-DnuuY JjkstK produces a pantoininie entitled See , Saw , Margery Daio j or I Harlequin Holiday and the Island of Ups and Downs . The scenery is . b y Mr ! ¦ I Beverlky—a sufficient guarantee for unsurpassable fairy beauty ; and Miss I Rosin a Wright , one of the best of English dancers , twinkles through what Dick Swiveller called " the windings of the mazy . " Mr . Buckstone , at the Haymarket , gives us a pantomime called The Bales in the Wood ; or , Harlequin and the Cruel Uncle— a subject from which we augur much quaint and delicate beauty . Mr . William Callcott paints the scenery . A graceful allusion to the Resolute and her generous , gallant officers is introduced ; and we are glad to find that tlie really national air of "Yankee Doodle" replaces the dynastic " Partant pour la Syrie . " In the former case , we know that we are being brought heart to heart with a people—not merely with a family or a political sect . Our old friend Aladdin , or , the Wonderful Lamp , with the addition of some new features * forms the subject of tlie Pkincess ' s pantomime . Tlie enchanted palace is spoken of as being particularly splendid , though we do not hear that Mr . K ' isan 1 ) as worked in any of his Shakspearean scenery or decorations . The harlequinade includes the performances of M . Desiuais ' s troop of dogs , & c . Conrad and Medpra ; or , Harlequin Corsair and ( he Little Fairy at the Bottom of the Sect , is tlie title of the IAceusi entertainment , which , like the ADEi-rni extravaganza last year , and this too , is a combination of burlesque and pantomime . It is founded on the famous Parisian ballet of The Corsair , and the opening portion is written by Mr . William Brough . The first scene is " The Naiad ' s Crinoline Temple , " which , to our sensitive apprehensions , seems scarcely ' ' -proper ; ' but the subject , unquestionably , is airy and expansive . In the pantomime part there are two clowns , one of whom is the ever-juvenile Tom Matthews . : ' „ ,, - ^ ., . , The A Delphi company musters full , strength , to another burlesque-pantomime , called Wittikind and his Brothers , in \ f \ nc \\ the celebrated Mother Shipton ° rure burlesque , which is now rather at a discount , is patronized at the Olympic , where the scintillating pen of Mr . Fla > -che provides us with a fairy extra-vaganza called Young and Handsome , which , of course , contains a part for RonsoN . —At the Stuaki > , we have The Magic Mistletoe ; or , Harlequin Humbug ami the Shams of London;—and at the Maryiebone , Mr . Emery , who now opens his first managerial campaign , has struck out a new idea in producing a pan . I tomime of the press , called Tit , Tat , Toe , J \ fy First Go ; or , Harlequin N . E . W . & , \ and the Fairies of the Fourth Estate . A contemporary announces that " all the newspapers of the day are embodied , and tlieir influence over the world demon , strated by scenic and mechanical illustrations . " In that case , we shall expect I to find our own influence demonstrated in some happy pun , pointing out that ! we ate emphatically " the / . cader . " \ ¦ \ '¦¦ „" ¦ , . , ! Sadlek's Wells produces The Fisherman and the Genie ; or , Harlequin Padma-< naba At tlie Surrey-, we have Harlequin and the Summer Queen ; or , King Winter \ andihe Fairies of theSilver'WUlows Cby the way , we recollect a similar subject iit 1 this house some fifteen years ago ) . Astley ' s rejoices in Paul Iry on Horseback ^ ¦ or , Harlequin and the Magic Horseshoe : and various other glittering freaks of ¦ ' fancy are provided for the frequenters of tlie humbler theatres and the saloons , ^ All the Exhibitions have been in full swing thi ^ week ; but we can on y find , room to mention that the Coi . ossevm , Kegenfs Park ( which * it seems , after all , II ' not to be desecrated by Methodism ) , has been giving some concerts a « d I dioramas ; and that General Tom THUMB-now a . ypmig man of nj |^ M . still the tiniest of dwarfs—has reappeared , to the delight of the ladies , at tlie I Regent ' s Gallery , in the Quadrant . _ _ . _ . __ . _ - - —^ - —— -r--- — - ——
