The manager of the Princess's Theatre has attempted to delight

his audience by producing a version of a singular French piece, in which Rose Cheri has lately made a considerable sensation. It is a serious drama rest- ing solely on mesmerism; the heroine being made to compromise herself by an avowal of love under magnetic influence. This sort of interest was not at all relished by the Oxford Street audience; who treated the non- magnetic scenes with indifference, and the magnetic scenes with execration. In a word, Dreams qc the Heart is a failure.
