THE THEATRE.

King's Theatre.
very numerous audience attended this Theatre
Last night, and it was compietk:ly tilled, with the
exception of the private boxes, long before the
performance began. The Play was The Stranger,
and never have Mr. KEmat.r. and Mrs. Stpnobis ac-
quitted themselves more ably, and witti a stronger
operation on the feelings of the Audiehee in this
Play, than
,they did last night. The rkteetinglbe-
tween the penitent wife and the relenting hikspand,
in the last scene, was particularly adeding.
A new After-piece followed, entitled, The Forest
bf liermanstadt ; or, Princess and no Princess.

This Piece comes under the new affeeted desig-

nardly yet understood by the Public, and which sig-

interest of the table ; for when the feelings are ex-

to the ears. This mixture of dialogue and pantos
