Though the all-sufficing success of Jenny Lind in her first
two oha- meters is a capital thing for the manager, the performers, and those of the struggling thousands who succeed in obtaining seats or standing room within the walls of Her Majesty's Theatre, it leaves the critic without a new text to write upon. Indeed, we have not had an opportunity of "comparing notes" since the first night of La Sonnavibula. Mademoiselle Lind performed for the seventh time on Thursday—the fourth time in Roberto it Diavolo: on which occasion Fraschini Is said to have agreeably surprised the audience by a decided improvement both in voice and execu- tion. Her third character, announced for next Thursday, is to be the heroine in Donizettfs Figlia del Reggimento—a part full of variety and con- trasts. The ballet also has reached its summer solstice, Carlotta Grisi having arrived.
