GREENWICH THEATRICALS.

IFRON A COURESPOWDENT.I
Under the management of Mr. Marshall, and the patron-
age if the gentlemen amateurs of the Greenwich Concerts,
the little theatre of Greenwich has become the continued
and favourite resort of the inhabitants of the town. The
company performing there have met with the greatest en-
couragement, and they have certainly deserved it. We
were, a few 'debts since, agreeably entertained by the re-
presentation of the play of The Pam. Gentleman, and the
farce of 'Re Lying Valet. Mr. Marshall. the manager,
performed most admirably the part of Due fur 011apod. It
was with considerable surprise we recognised an old
ac-
quaictmce, and an old favourite, Mr. Bromley, who
austa•nni the character of Lieutenant Worthington. Why,
or how, this deserving actor has been transferred from the
boards of Drury to those of Greenwich, we are at a loss to
conceive; but this we know, that we have seen him per-
form the parts of Michael Cassia, Glarieester in king Lear,
Cartel'', in The rrse, and many others, in a style certainly
sup nor to any second-rate performer now at Drury-lane or
Covent-garden. We also saw him play Skylock, at the
West London theatre, and then wondered that his talents
were so undervalued ; it was with stronger feelings that
ITC beheld them cotnparatively wasted on the Greenwich
boards. We know not if it be the fault of Mr.
Bromley or of the managers of our metropolitan theatres,
that he has not made an engagement more worthy of his
abilities ; hut we are certain it cannot be from any defi-
ciency in talent or expereence on the actor's part. He is
now perfcnning the first characters in the different popular
dramas; and as far as the play-goers of Greenwich are
capable of giving it, he has met with the greatest encourage-
mrnt. The carps dramatique, though naturally very
limited in number, is more select than any we have pre-
viously met at the minor provincial theatres. Mr. Mar-
shall is an excolle.nt actor, and lie is ably supported by
Messrs. Pitt, Julian, &c. The actresses are also very
good: Mrs. Gould sings in admirable style ; and we really
think the Kitty Pry of Mrs. Bromley isnot excelled when
we meet her representative at Drury-lane or Covent-
garden.
