Queen's Theatre - Benefits of Mr Lazar

The season of this theatre is now drawing towards
a close, and the various artists connected with the
establishment seek to repay their exertions by
the usual means of benefits. Mr Lazar, the re-
spected manager, takes the first on Monday next;
and we must say, his indefatigable perseverance
in the cause of the drama in Adelaide has been
exerted to no common extent. Exclusive of the
difficulty of catering for public amusement, we
have noticed him in two or three pieces each
night, always at his post, and provided with a
fund of good humour. As an actor, too much
praise cannot be bestowed on him; as a manager,
the good taste of his selections and the creditable
arrangements of the theatre and the business of
the stage proves him to be a clover tactician.
The entertainments selected for Monday next,
exclusive of Mr L.'s own popularity, would attract
a crowded house. Mr Edwards and a gentleman
amateur, we observe, are to render their powerful
vocal assistance. We trust the public will not
be slow in testifying in a substantial manner its
approval of the conduct of Mr Lazar. The box
list, we hear, already exhibits a promising ap-
pearance.
