ilomtllKET.-Mr& Inchbald's comedy- " Wives as
they were and Maids as they are" was played here last night,
SOW of the parts being newly cut. Mr. FlTrell plat ed with
ore it rower, and Mrs. Nisbett with her usual vivacity. Miss
Julia Bennett, wham we ire glad to find resuming her
wonted place, unthrook for the first time the part of Lady
Priory. Amer the comedy, Mr. Reach's farce '• Jenny Lind
at laet." produced at the Lyceum last year, was played for
the first time here, with Mr. Wigan and Mrs. Keeley filling
the principal characters as before. It Mut lost somewr's to.hat of
its pants and pungency, but is still a good half-hou
tertainment.
FRI.:NeII PLATS, ST. JAMES'S TIMATRE.—" Chris-
tophe le Cavalier," a favourite vaudeville, was produced here
last evening, the two principal parts, Chriefotlie and Made-
kine, bring performed by Achard and Mdlle. Ett,sirt,e. It is
sot so much the plot or incidents as the situation of this
agreeable little piece that hava rendered it popular. The
ropernaker Chi istoplie is beguiled by his foster, brother, a dis-
solute youag nohle of the c mrt of Versailles, mote. nudism mar-
riage with .blade trine, under the belief that the Vicomte means
fairly to make the girl his wife as coon as she is away from
her own how. Tne sham marriage being effected, Made-
leine, who takes it all for reality, being attached to her sup.
posed husband, is surprised at his reserve, and innocently
urges him to avail himself of his marital privileges, which
en,.lo,phe, thou.th strongly incited thereto, refutes, in the
belief' that he would be trespassing on the Vicomte's ex•
elusive rights. A Peens in the newly-married pair's
dwelling, where Ma ek.'eine, without deaming
lf of
of the
milting an am impropriety, proceeds to divtrat herse
diSere,tt items of her apparel, whilst honest Christaphe
is at one:, alarmed and delighted at tbo prospect that is
opeuqig bef•ra hint, was played so naturally and pleasingly
by Mlle. Desiree and M. Achard as to elicit the loudest
Applause. The mystery is at length cleared up by the young
\ ieorate giving unequivocal proofs of his libertine intentions,
when Cloristoplte, to the delight of Maddeine, avows his
determine:ion to complete the marriage ceremony in a legal
manner, rend the shoo ends to the satisfaction of all parties.
The singing of M. Aehard is well known to ho of a highly
artistic and agreeable character, and several 01 his vaudevilles
were encored last evening. Mdlle. Ili.,siree is a vary great
acquisition to the company, possessing as she clots a pleasing
countenance and a most engaging manner of acting. The
house wan well attended.
ADF.l.l.lll.—Madame Celeste took her benefit last
night. The performances comprised the melodrama of
'• The Hary<st ]tome," the petite comedy of •• Flyiog
Colours," and the s:-cond act of Buckatone's shelved though
still favourite drama of " The Green Hushes," Madame'
Celvde taking the principal female character in each piece.
Mr. Webster. of the Haymarket, who, as usual ow these
occasions, gins the Adel* the benefit of his talents, was
the asistaiJa Sans StlUCi in "Flying Colours." The house
was crammed.
