THEATRICAL .MovEMENrs.-We understand that
Dinneford, formerly manager OF the Franklin
Theatre, and afterwards of the Bowery, has taken
Palmo's Theatre, for the purpose Of giving repre-
sentations in legitimate drama during the time that
will elapse from the end of this month up to No
vember, when the Italian opera commences. We
understand that he is now ready TO make up COM
pany out of the best materials he can pick up in
all our large cities, and expects to open on the 3lst
inst According to all appearances, we think this
movement is likely to be successful one. The
public taste has been gradually separating itself
from the cheap and nasty drama in the two shil
ling theatres, which has prevailed for some time.
The respectable portion of society want some de-
cent house to visit, where they can see good dra.
matte representations without any admixture of
such materials as have marked the downward ten
dency OF the drama in the cheap and nasty theatres
during the last few years. The Park Theatre,
since its Opening, has made very successful ad-
vance in that line-and, with Palmo's on the other
side Of the Park it is probable that restoration
may take place in the taste of our citizens, and
something like the olden and palmy time of the
drama in this city be revived.
