TIIE4TRE-ROY.4L, DUBLIN.

• DUBLIN, NOV. 10.
011 Tuesday night were performed The Way to
:et Married and %he thud tO Puy. The novelties
were Air. Lewis,in Tsiotgent, :nut 111ni. KtNNLotr,
in Miss Allspice. The former is eon of ,thr.cele.
heated coinediau of that name, and the latter per.
bulged here about ten years since. 11r. Lawts,
though by no niesuis,so gouda figure, resembles
his rather very much. He has the face, the voice,•
the action, the bustle, and the business of Mr. W.
Lewis. So close an imitation of bis points and
inimiser would not be sufferable in any other per.
I/011 ; but in the Gentleruftu now tinder consider-
ation, what in another would be justly condemned
a, a fault, becomes in him extremely pleasing, for
in the son we think we behold the lather.—He
performed Tangent- with spirit and success
throughout the piece tneaUdience liberally bestow-
ed their favours on him, and at the close, his bow
was retunaml by au weenineous peal of applause.
We recollect Mr% KI.NNEDIf making her first
appearance on the IJ7iiliii hoards, fifteen years
since, with much interims, in the parts or Lady Bel
Swinge, Mrs. Candour, &c. &c. ; she was a very
excellent actress. dressed extremely well, but had
something unpleasant iu her voice.—About the
same time 111iso DuNCAN made her first appear-
ance, in the patt of Priscilla Tomboy, in the
Farce hi % he Komp. for the benefit of her father.
The Poor Ginitlentint, on Thurad4y night, afford-
ed another opportunity or observing Mr. LEWIS,
and, we are happy to say, the iinoreskion made by
his sprightly and hustling performance of Tangent,
wan rather increased by his animated sod agreeable
delineation of Frederick.—Should his performance
lie

of other characters be equally happy, _ may anti-
cipates much favour from the public.
After the Play, a Ballet, of considerable merit,
introduced, for the first time, Mr. Girtoux and his
three sisters to a Dublin audience. We hay. not
before seen, on our stage, so interesting and accom-
pltm hed a groupe. They ate of the first class iu
thew profession, and, in the course of the Ballet,
we disco. ered that they are by no means deficient
in other polite accomplishments. The perform-
ance of Mr. sod Miss Gianva, on the piano-forte,
was much admired, and throughout they received
distinguisled and certeinly Well-meritedapplause.
9n Pride, aig..it the ashes was repeated, and the
ores, alter ,lion that appeared in the least necessary
wits mats'—tale exhd.ition of an explanatory scroll
st i Ie clorte!issiou of t ite piece, was judiciously omit-
ted ; thi- r. a proof" ef the taste and good sense
which n.y.y prusides over the entertainments of our
• Theatre.
