A splendid ballet-spectacle, with the title oft The Devil on

Two Slicks, has been produced at Drury Lane. It is a copy of the Parisian original ; but has nothing in common with Le .Diable Boiteux of LE SAGE except the title. The only novel feature in the show is the repre- sentation of a theatre on the stage : the actual audience are admitted, as it were, behind the curtain of the mimic opera-house ; the curtain draws up, a ballet is commenced, the performers keeping their backs 23 the real spectators, and the mock audience applaud and hiss the dancers. The pantomimic tricks of WIELAND as Asmodeus, and the 'lancing of DuVERNAY, are much praised. Three acts, however, is one 'vo many for a ballet—at least to an English audience.
