There never was represented at Astley’s Theatre a better evening’s entertainment than the present. The Pantomime, descriptive of the manoeuvres of the British Army in Holland, gains very deservedly more and more on the town. The comic popular Pantomime, called the Demon’s Tribunal, or Harlequin’s Enterprizes [sic], is so replete with ingenious laughable changes, magical decptions, &c. as to put the artists and composers of Pantomime as other Theatres to the blush. The Green room politicians give it as their opinion, that Young Astley’s Comic Pantomime never can be equalled for fifty years to come; such is the wonderful mechanism appertaining to the Barber’s Blocks, the roasted Pig, the Tulips, and the infant Harlequin coming out of the Plumb-pudding, &c.
