SURREY THEATRE —The tragedy of " Macbeth " was
produced here yesterday evening, for the purpose of present-
ing to the public a new candidate for its favour, in the per-
son of Mr. Bavntun Rolt. We fear that the public favour
extended to Mr. Holt will be scarcely commensurate with his
expectations. How far his ambition might have saved itself
from " falling o' the other side," had it been less vaulting, we
will not undertake to say, but it is quite clear to ns that he has
scarcely sufficient genius for Shakepeore's impersonations.
His figure is by no means bad, but he has no idea of managing
it; his voice is of powerfhl compass, but husky, and his ut-
terance very much the revere of distinct; his face is intel-
lectual in itself, but its effect as such, is, in a gr.( at measure,
spoiled by constant efforts at intensity of expression. In
the outset we could hardly hear what he said, a circumstance
we considered natural enough in the cave of find appearances;
but as the play proceeded. he unfortunately acquired an over
confidence, and his latter speeches were absolutely
roared. The fight with Alacduff was quite one of the " ter-
rific combats" which so delighted our boyhood in the old
Coburg days of Messrs. Bl..nehard and Bradley. Mr. Rolt
is a very good fencer ; he fights long and vigorously, but be
does not by any means die well. His death was, in fact,
extremely ludicrous:—having carefully thrown himself
prostrate, he half got up aeon, to see whether it was all
right ere he finally abandoned himself to the arms of the
grim monster. The Lady Macbeth was Miss Richardson,
whose performance was not without merit. Locke.' music
was introduced, and not ill executed, the principal
singing witches being Miss Louisa Lyons and Min Hamilton,
one of whom (we know not which) filled her part with
excellent spirit.
