491. CoustAN's Three Act Comedy of Wags and Means wa• a . gain perfouned st this Theatre last eveuing RussELit." , S:r Davia Dirndl- was deservedly honoured with grer. applause ; it, .however, is not so true to nature as h*,, Jerry -,S'nea. BausToN's light genteel figure, andindet:(' Lis aener::l stil, admirably lit him for the higher wall; of Comedy, of which his Random afforded a strikini proof. The Ladies at this Theatre are rather useful tha. ornamental .appendages to the Dramatis Persona', with. indeed, the exception of Mrs. Glans, who, in Kitty, eli cited even more than her usual naivet(: and dicrirrikna- Con. Aliliong,h justice compels •us to allow that, in Tiptoe, Mr. RAYNER displayed considerable comic hu mour, and much promise of future excellence, yet, we think, that his forte is countrg boys, and most of the cha racters that LisroN plays, whom, ,n person and figure, he greatly resembles ; we shall be happy to seo him oftener brought before the public. • His Sim, in IViti Oats, was in the true and genuine . spirit of Comedy, at once artless, natural, and unaffected, perhaps too much so for stage effect ; but, while the silent approbation of the judicious shall continue to be more dear to the actor of intrinsic merit, than the applause of the multitude, we would ad vise Mr. RAYNER, without sacrificing at the shrine of popularity, by giving a deeper colouring to his comic efforts, steadily to pursue the path he has taken, as the sure road to eminence in his profession.
