ABSTRACT
The pantomime of Robinson Crusoe, written by E.L. Blanchard, and produced on Boxing-Night at Drury Lane by Mr. Augustus Harris, is probably the biggest and most successful thing of its kind that has been seen on the boards of our national theatre. Scenery of surprising splendour, magnificent costumes, and an unrivalled company of actors and actresses were united in giving the triumph of the season. The outlay upon the production before it was seen by the public was stated to have been more than ten thousand pounds; but this heavy expenditure was soon recouped by the enormous audiences drawn to witness this capital pantomime.
