THE THEATRES..

Drury-Latte.
THE SCHOOL VOR SCANDAL.

THIS Comedy is so much superior in point of
dialogue, diversified chara&er, and dramatic skill
to the general run of modern Produdions, that
every time it is represented the Public must feel a
strong sentiment of regret that the Author does not
resume that pen which he so well knows how to
employ for their entertainment.

There was a report yesterday, that KING was
last night to take leave of the charaeter .of Sir
.Peter Teazle. We sincerely hope the report is hot
true, foi hough he certilinly did not perform it
with quite so much spirit as in former fifties, yet
there was so much truth and naturvin his manner,
that we can never expeet to see the charaCler so
well supported by any other Performer. His out-
line, thOugh drawn but faintly last night, was so
rightly touched, that the Audience were fully sen-
sible of its merit, and gave him much applause.
CHARLES KEMBLE is considerably improved in
the character of Charles Surface, whicli he row re-
presents with a gaiety and animation that bring it
very forward on the canvass.

BARRYMORE rather too servilely treads in the
steps of the late PALMER in Joseph Surface, even
to the imitation of his defeCts. BARRYMORE pOs.
sesses'judgment in his profession, and might surely
contrive to display something original in this cha-
rader, without deviating into extravagance.
If Miss BIGGS did not in Lady Teazle equal her
predecessors in, easy sprightliness, she excelled them
in pathetic emotion and indignant energy, when
she expressed her penitential sense of Sir Peter's
intended generosity, and when she reproached
seph for his insidious hypocrisy.
The Comedy drew a numerous audience, and
went off with spirit, though in the 'general per_
formance, it was so much below the style in which
we have been accustomed to see it represented.
The Entertainment was Blue Beard, and in con_
sequence of t.Ve i:iness of Mrs. CROUCH, Mrs.
MOUNTAIN perforned the character of Fatima.
