Thb address which Mr. Robson delivered on the last night of the sea- son to the patrons of the Olympic Theatre, comprised a brief history of managerial wisdom rewarded by permanent success. He showed that he and his partner, Mr. W. S. Emden, had adhered to one line of business, and within the sphere, voluntarily limited, had laboured to do their best. The company is exactly suited to the pieces, which, as well as the scenery which illustrates them, are completely in accordance with the taste of a fastidious public equally adverse to dulness and vulgarity. A Jack- of-all-trades is never less in his place than when he manages a theatre, and Mr. Robson is honourably anxious to demonstrate his abhorrence of bungling versatility. The house will reopen towards the end of Sep- tember.
