The "Fyne and Harrison Company" at Covent Garden stick to

Satanella with persevering constancy. Since they have opened this theatre they have given nothing else, nor is there any appearance of a change. Even had this opera been a &strafe work, the repetition would have been too much; but being really a mediocre production, its exclusive possession of the stage entirely disappoints the hopes of those who thought that the formation of this company might do something for the good of the English musical drama. It may be said that the opera continues to "draw." Perhaps it does; but it has never been con- sidered good theatrical management to wear a single piece threadbare by "running" it for a whole season to the exclusion of all variety; and besides, the managers of a theatre owe something to the public as well as to themselves.
