Though pantomime, considered as a genus of drama, has certainly not improved, its value as an investment for managerial capital was never greater than at the present day. Morning performances are given once a week at several of the leading theatres ; and the consequence is that senor) crowds are drawn to the same edifice in six days. The appetite of the public increases on its augmented allowance ; and the additional performances, instead of dividing the multitude, seem to enlarge the number of constituents. It is supposed that the railroads have much to do with this state of prosperity. Late trains afford to the inhabitants of remote districts an opportunity of witnessing the evening as well as the morning performances; and thus an entirely new element is brought into the theatrical public of London.
