THE THEATRE;

Cotvent-Gardat.

THE Comedy of The Poor Gentleman was repro•
tented last night at. this Theatre, but was not at
first attended by so numerous an Audience aS the
merits of the Piece, and the talents of the Adork,
might be expeled to attract.

The ch4raaers it this Comedy are peculiarly
well adapted to the abilities of the Performers, and
they all exert themselves with such effeet that
nothing " comes tardily off."

LE wis was particularly distinguished. by ,the
friendly greetings of the Audience when he entered,
and he amply justified their favoUr by the spirit of
his performance in Frederick.
MURRAY, MUNDEN, FAWCETT, KNIGHT', and
" though last not least," Mrs. MATTOCKS, had
a gratifying welcome on their return to winter
quarters.
We ought not to pass over the simple and sterling
merit of WADDY in Humphrey Dobbins, which re-
eeived and deserved much applause, as an unaffcfted
exhibition of blunt humour.

This Comedy contains so much to divert, and so
Much to interest, that it will doubtless retain its
popularity, particularly as it is so ably supported
by the Performers in general.

The After piece was 17 Boriclucani, which, if not
possessed of much dramatic merit, has at least the
recommendation .of moral tendency, mingled with
laughable extravagance.

JOHN Butt. has not exerted himself upon Dra-
thatic Affairs so resolutely for many years, as he
did on Monday last at Covent Garden Theatre,
itsPeaing the absence of COOKE. The point in
question was, indeed, involved in a mystery that

probable, could not know that he was advertised

"We, for he otherwise would certainly not
haVe 'exposed himself to the resentment of a
'London audience,--On the other hand, it seems
that the Theatre should have ventured to
ntinunce for the opening of the Season, unless
st: 'had positiVe assurances from him that he would
2'lltend his duty. The Manager, htbwever, might
fairly .presume that the London Papers, besides the
teg*lar notification from the Theatre, would
sufli-
tttly apprize COOKE of the necessity of his attend-
as in London, This matter occasioned so much
Onfiision in the Theatre, and has been so much
the topic 61.cOnversation, that it will be necessary

The TragedP.of 12tnneo and Juliet is one of the

the Theatre at Vienna: Though the Scene of the
