THEATRICAL NOVELTIES.

In consequence of the success of _The Lancers_ at the Princess's--those
same _Lancers_ being only another version of _The Discarded Son_ at the
Adelphi--the following attractive novelties are in rehearsal, and will
be speedily produced:--

"'THE BLOWER OF BUBBLES'--being a new translation of _The Game of
Speculation_, acted so many hundred nights at the Lyceum Theatre.
_Mercadet, or the Bubble-Blower_ (with new bubbles to be blown
expressly on this occasion), by MR. CHARLES KEAN.

"'THE FAMILY OF THE WHYTE CHOKERS'--being a completely new version
of _The Serious Family_, which was so popular a season or two ago at
the Haymarket Theatre. The part of the _Reverend Aminadab Whyte
Choker_, by MR. CHARLES KEAN, in lieu of MR. BUCKSTONE.

"'THE MOUNTEBANK'--being an improved reading of _Belphegor_, as
performed by MR. WEBSTER at the Adelphi Theatre. _The Mountebank_
(so long as _the public will tolerate it_) will be played by MR.
CHARLES KEAN.

"'THE TOWER OF HAMMER-AND-NESLE'--being _The Tower of Nesle_, as
generally performed at the Surrey Theatre, but retranslated and
considerably improved, with new causes and effects, and a long
dissertation by MR. CHARLES KEAN, given away on the playbill, as to
the period and costume of the drama, and a list of the bodies thrown
into the Seine.

"'THE CARPENTER ON THE ROAD TO RUIN'--being a very superior
translation of a Piece, acted for many years under almost a similar
title, at the Victoria Theatre. MR. HICKS'S favourite part of _The
Carpenter_ by MR. CHARLES KEAN.

"New versions of _Pizarro_, _The Stranger_, and _The Maid and the
Magpie_ have also been accepted, and will be produced with all the
care for which the Princess's is distinguished."

Great hopes are entertained upon the production of the above pieces; and
there can be no doubt that, having been successful at so many theatres
before, they will be successful again. There can be no fear as to the
acting, when the principal parts will be performed by MR. CHARLES KEAN
himself.
