DRAMA.

ST. JANIS'S.

A farce, of French origin, called Pouter's Wed-
ding, very eomplicated in plot, very theatrical in riva-
-1 meat, mad not vary modest in dialogue, was prodneed at
this house last night, otter the drama of Eleanor's Victory.
The adapter, fdr.J.M.hiorton, whether intentionally or not,
has succeeded in investing it with at least two ideas new to
toe stage. Be has given us an alderman so feeble in body
&Dispirit that he could Dever have been fed upon turtle, or
asked to dine at the Mansion-home, and be has given us •
mild but mysterious villain, who taken the disguise of an
alderman to help him in perpetr►ting his 'Many. We may
save ourselves the trouble of mirroring the plot by stating
that the farce is one of those pieces of stage carpentry, well-
knows to playgoers, in which nearly everybody is mistaken
in turn for somebody else, the chief agent in promoting the
eo•tnaiou being a simple, energetic, and jealous country
boy, who is just married, and wishes to cheat the squire out
of his right to kiss the bride. This part way played by Mr. F.
Robson in a style which only wanted a little more spasmodic
force, ripeness, and command of • Kentish dialect, to have
been an exact reproduction of h'v late lamented father.
The popularity of this young actor is unquestionable, and
we can only hope that it will not prevent him striving, as
his father did, to understand and copy human nature.
Body is given to this farce by the admirable perform►nce of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Matthews, as the feeble alderman and
his robust wife, which is full of the strong personal humour
of these actors.
