MARTLEBONE THEATRE.—:Iira. Warner has been
long associated with the national drama; and the announce-
ment that, under her auspice*, the Msrylebone Theatre was
to commence a new season, created a lively sympathy, and a
strong and, u it has proved, a well-founded expectation on the
part of the public. The representation of the "Winter's Tale,"
last night, was such as never ',twill witnessed out of the pre-
cincts of the great theatres which were once termed national.
The heroine, Herniate, was of course personated by Mrs.
Warner, who was very well seconded by Mr. Graham' as
Loonier; and the general cost was of so level a character,
as to occasion the play to run smoothly and pleasantly
from first to last. Of the style and taste which charac-
terised the noise en seers., it is only just to say that they were
in nowise below the standard to which Me,. Warner's
previous management at Sadler's Wells had raised
the expectations of her friends. Of a first perform-
ance by a Company. newly collected, and hardly to
be considered fairly In working order, it would not be
charitable to speak too critically, but from the manner in
which the mejonty of the persons engaged in the represen-
tation of the " Winter's Tele" acquitted themselves, the
most favourable inferences may be drawn of their future
career. The business of the evening was commenced by
the delivery of an address written ter the occasion by Mr.
T. J. Berle, who sarcastically referred to the utter
Invasion dthe two great temples of England's drama by
(endgame. However much it is to be lamented that the
system of management adopted for the last twenty years at
Drury-lane and Covent-garden has led to the results which
are now too visible, yet, it is not to be regretted, if by the
change that has taken place the public are again to enjoy
Bhakspeare, Coogreve, Wycherly, Farquhar, and other
magnates of the English drama, in theatres where
their hearing and sight are enabled, u in the
case of the Marylebone Theatre, to serve them to
such good purpose as suffices to bring with it a full
comprehension of the scenes enacted before them. In this
case the usurpation of Covent Garden by the Italians, and
of Drury Lane by the French invaders, will cease to excite
a regret; on the contrary, those masaoua arenas will
be found to have at length been approfillfithed to their proper
purposes, and the public will have the gestilhation of showing
how sincerely sad dka Ahab al Mrs. Wieser and her
oompeen ankg 11m164 es the theatre where
they are to be theatre last night was literally
crammed, and menio the
_audience were to be perceived
some bearing mama basearel alike in the departments of
letters, the fine arts, atheism, and the stage.
