The Olympic also opened this week, under the joint management

of Miss Kate Howard and Mr. George Wild. The house has been newly decorated in a very complete and handsome style; and the comfort of the public ap- pears to have been studied in the accommodations. The little we saw of the performances sufficed to show that they are not of a kind to be amena- ble to criticism. There seemed to be a sort of freemasonry existing be- tween the managers and a portion of the audience: and casual visiters who cannot enter into the notion that the stage-business is only contrived for the purpose of exhibiting these personages, must feel out of their element, as we did. It seemed to be understood that all else was mere make-believe.
