Miss Adelaide Kemble does all she can for Elena3 some extremely well painted scenes, and very gor- geous if not very tasteful dresses, set forth the opera with an air of splendour; but these are no- thing against the music of Mercadante-that fatal, dull residuum, of dreary no-meaning. Miss Kemble's ...

A great and bold experiment has thus been made- Mr. ASIRSTON'S play is a tragedy of the passing time; there is no remoteness either of age or locality. Its passions, interests, and collisions may even now be the living drama of abodes in ...
