THIATIES.

DRURY-LANZ.

Stuxursass's admired tragedy of Othello was
last night presented to a full house. The perform-
ance
.of Mr. Komi, as Othello, may be styled his
chef-d'oeuvre. His add, ear to the Senate, together
with the scene where he imagines Deodestosto faith-
less, were admirably executed. A Gentleman from
the Liverpool theatre made his first appearance on
the London boards as Ingo. He has well conceived
the character, and pertoimed it with judgment.
He enacted the part with less outward appearance
of the villain then is generally given to it, and was
in easily parts Fetidly and deservedly applauded.
We understand his name is Youna. Mr. Toaair
played sensibly, in Currie; but we think it a chit-
racier somewluit out of his line. Mrs. W. WEST'S
performance of the gentle Dude:mita deserve, high
commendation. Her address, commencing "My
liable father," was given with an infecting tone of
reverential awe, which at the some time conveyed
moist beautifully the ditty she owed her husband.
lier solicitation to Othello for Curare's restoration
was in an excellent style, as wete the vacant gaze
sod burn of grief after Othello has accused her of
infidelity.
