THEATRE ROYAL.
" H.M.S. Pinafore " was repeated last In spite of the extremely inclement weather, the lovers of the lyrio drama mustered in considerable strath, the dress circle being very fairly pr ' jnised. • From the opening chorus la9to' •'A the opera went with a great deal more '' ' jedom, vivacity, and spirit compared witU tne first night. Mrs Talbot especially, probably on account of diminished nervousness, sang with much archness, and showed her really excellent voice , to good advantage. In yesterday's notice mention was inadvertently omitted of the excellent by-play of Miss Arethusa May, whose " business" might well be emulated by some others of the company. Thi3 young lady did much to render the choru9 singing effective, and her endeavours to infuse conGdence, the absence of which in amateur performances contributes so much to mar success, were worthy of much commendation. To-night "Ernani" will be performed at this Theatre.
