A. number of pans, more or lees brilliant or faulty, are of
coarse inlaid with laborious art in nearly every speech, bat
we have not so many of these verbal quibbles as Mr. Byron
generally treats us with. The goose and parodies are all
ingenious and varied ; and the s Widows," with one or two
exceptions, is not so hackneyed as some we have seen lately.
The notion of ending the piece with • burlesque al • paa-
tomiraie finish is very humorous and happy.
The production of this extravaganza has introduced two
new actresses named Nelson to an Adelphi audience, and the
introduction wee satisfactory to both parties. These young
ladies, who are sisterly appeared in Loudon some little time
ago, at the lit. James's Theatre, where their vocal talents
were much admired. They are both well-trained angers,
with very agreeable voices, and their personal attractions
are couaidersble. Their acting is ladylike and pleasing, and
they promise to be very useful menthols of Mr. Webster's
company. The eldest sister played Leonora, the youngest
Maarten ; and the reoeptioe accorded to them both was very
warm and encouraging.
The other familiar character' of the opera were distil-
betted =meat the old favourites of the theatre. Mr. Tools
played the gipsy woman Asuman with great fords, fumy,
and even grace ; and his performance of the mad scene near
the sod had only one fault-it was a little too real and
earnest. The grim humour of Bedlam is introduced a little
too often just now at theatres and music halls ; and amuse.
ment has been distilled from various representations ad
idiotoy. One of these days we may expect to sea coarse,
ignorant laughter excited by showing the limey side of
blindness ; and if so we shall blame the authors, as in ibis
case, not the scum. ,
Mr. Phillips was very pointed and useful as the Count di
Luna, and all the small parts of the extravagazaa were well
filled. Mr. Paul Bedford was dragged io to make the piece
complete in a little character called " the Kinchiu"-a gipsy
thief said "to have been lest for the occasion from the
Plovers of the Forest." He went through his work with
all the elasticity of perpetual youth, Sad was welcomed as
be always will be welcomed by an Adelphi audience. The
cells after the piece were very ocenplimeutary and general,
and Mr. Byron came oe to bow his aeksowledgments.
