OPERATIC NOTES.
_Monday.--Faust_ and Foremost. Miss EAMES better even than she was last
week. NED DE RESZKE not so diabolical a _Mephistopheles_ as M. MAUREL.
NEDDY RESZKE
Not so goblineske,
and a stouter sort of demon, but of course a "_bon diable_."

_Wednesday._--_Romeo et Julietta._ JACK and NED DE RESZKE _Romeo_ and _The
Friar_. Why the waltz alone, which ought to be on every organ besides Miss
EAMES'S, but which, strange to say, isn't thoroughly popular, should be
enough to make an Opera; but it's like the proportion of one swallow in the
composition of a summer, and, however well sung, it does not do everything.
It's a dull Opera.
_Thursday._--_Carmen_ again. House not immense. Persons "of note" chiefly
on the stage. JULIA same as before; therefore refer to previous notice. Cab
and carriage service after the theatres everywhere wants reforming
altogether. We may not be worse off than in any other capital of Europe,
but we ought to be far ahead of them.
