WEST LONDON THEATRE.

This interesting little theatre opened on Monday
evening, under the ososgenient of Mr. BRUNTON.
The performances were, The Widow Bewitched.
nal aft mat all mow to, sod a rnelo-drarne,
ent►tled Pawl and Jwssia, which were repeated
het night. In the second piece, which a so
abridgment of Three Weeks after Marriage,
Misv BRUNTON played Lady /locket with great
spirit. There are few who. like Sir Charles, could
withstand the united charms of person sod manner,
■nd who " would not love again, though they
should he again undone." The chief attraction in
the melo.draine was the appearance of the same
young lady in the character of Pawl. Mr.
BEVERLEY obtained considerable applause as Lubin,
a half-witted clown. The theatre has been newly
painted and decorated ; the colours are delicate,
and hove a light and pleasing effect. The private
bases are fitted up with peculiar neatness. The
curtain possesses the attraction of novelty ; it is of
•cutlet cloth, sod is divided into two parts, which
are drawn up on each side of the stage. Some of
the scenery is extremely well painted ; a view of the
Quadrant in Regent-street, a subject of which all
he visitors of the theatre are good judges, at least so
far es regards resembloace. wools nothing to com-
plete in that point. The eirening scene of the melo-
drame is very pretty. The audience had not to
cataplain of any lack of entertainment. for the in-
tervals between the several pieces were filled up with
aingiog and dauciog which were received with ap-
probation..

We hope Mr. BRUNTON'S exertions will procure
him that degree of public patronage which they de-
serve, and if so, he will be amply rewarded.
