- The second amateur pantomime, written on the subject of

William Tell and produced at the Lyceum on Monday, served, like the first, to display the burlesque and gymnastic talents of Messrs. Albert and Arthur Smith, Mr. Holmes, Mr. J. Robins, and others ; and the appearance of a new Harlequin—Mr. Lincoln Lane, in the place of Mr. Bidwell—showed that a native genius for wearing the spangled jacket with credit is not so rare as might naturally be expected. The dialogue of the introduction is smartly written; the acting throughout was excellent ; and altogether the gentlemen-mimes created infinite diversion, though they have no longer the advantage of giving a new sensation.
