Drama.

rR!x( ~.' .

Mr. Slowes T. P. Cooke prim cirmlia, True lu
the C re, which WM first produaril at the Surrey Theatre
Lid September, has been transplanted to the Princess's,
and was represented for the Scat time on Saturday night.
This drama and its accessories gave great 'adduction to
Burry amiiences, before whom it was performed for
acrcral months, and even greater satisfaction to the
master and wardens of the Royal Dramatic College, for
whose charity it made the noble mum of 600/. In these
days of exceptional theatrical profits, when authors like
Hr. boaricautt get between 2,000 i. and 3,4..0tit. starling fur
the right of acting a drama like Figimbgred in the English
provinces fur only one year, it sounds like a satire to call
the paltry 100 f. which Mr. Sloes obtained for his work
a " prize ;" bat Mr. T. P. Cooke was an ohhfashionerl
man at the time of his death, and not an author but an
actor.

The drama ahowsto advantage in a compact theatre with
• tolerably well•behaved audience, and Mr. Cteawick has
only onefaultas the hero—the detestable style of elocution
affected by all tregediane. The Jesuit spy is still played
by Mr. Henry Marston, and Wallets, the pedlar, another
'mystery, is peraonated by Mr. Henry Yorrester. The
drama wan very enthusiastically tecehed, and there is a
good prospect of its having another lengthened run.
