THE THEATRE.

Drur.y:Lrve.

The Comedy Of The Inconstant, which has
long and deserveAly ranked -with what are termed
the best stork Nays, was. revived at this Theatre
last night. The part of Young Mirable, for. the
first eime was performed by Mr. CHARLES KaM-
BLE, a part that demands a more than common
shaie of theatrical ease; humour, and vivacity.
The Miratic of last night was certainly nor de-
feEtive in spirit:; and, in time, Mr. C. KI:MBLE
will doubtless perform it with.a degree of humour
regulated by judgment ; but, at present, the
spirit of youth seems to be the chief recommen-
dation to public favour,: This spirit, however,
hurried him into a kind of rapidity, that pre-
vented A due discrimination and display. of varied
emotion. The great scene with the Bravoes was
not well managed, for Mirable' too evidently
displayed his fear, which should have been min-
gled with affeCted unconcern, and even gaiety,—
However, as the chara&er has always ranked
highly, and, indeed, demands great theatrical
expertence, as well as talents, it is but fair to ac-
knowledge, that Mr. C. KEMB LE came off much
better than most of his chmpetitors would have
done in the same situation.
wTo Old Ilfir4.le, like most of his per-
lbrmanCes; was
,too coarse and stormy. Miss
DE Ciate is by no means elegant enough for
Bizarre : her playfulness wants lightness and
ease.

Dstretete, which has always been a prominent
charafte,r, was not so 'in the hands of Young
114NrcisTER. It was not dull, but it was not
diverting ;. and the Audience could see capabili.
ties in the part, which were not adequately sup_
plied in the performance.
There. is an indelicate forwardness in the part
of Oriallat that, with all her affeditin for Young
Afirable, renders her by no meant an objet very
interesting. Sue-h-as she is, Miss Btccs repro_
s9Tited her tolerably Well, though-with a solem-
nity that lessened the expression of requisite
tenderness.

A 5 Leon9ra is supposed to' be an objets that
captivates Hirable, the at;racliv'e hero of the
Piece, it must be acknowledged that there is no-
thing in tbr petsoq of Miss T;nswELL, very
much calct.:ited to give verisimilitude-to-the-re-
presentation,

There was not a'very numerous Audienee,,but
they appeared to be &ratified by the general etfeft
of the perform4nce.
