DRUR,Y-LANE THEATRE.

The enterprising lessee, finding that Mr. Brooke had
still one more evening to spare, determined on availing
himself of it in the shape of an " extra night." Last
evening the theatre was crowded to suffocation, to wit-
ness this his final performance, on which occasion he
appeared in two characters, as utterly opposed in senti-
ment as light and darkness, viz., The &ranger, full
of melancholy, and O'Callaghan, full of wit and humour,
in Boyle Barnard's capital farce of His Last Legs.
The remembrance of Power, in the character of O'Cal-
laghan, is still strong on many men's minds ; but, not-
withstanding, it seemed to be universally agreed that
Mr. Brooke's personation was of the first-rate excellence,
and asoriginal as it wasforcible. His brogue is excellent,
and his conception full of the broadest humour ; but, at
the same time, the gentleman shines through all
his subterfuges, and all his conduct is suffused with a
national bonhomie, which gives such a richness to the per-
formance. The audience took every point with the highest
relish. This character has left the pleasantest impres-
sion on his audience, and the versatility of his genius has
been proved in a way to create an indelible impression.
He was called at the end of the play, and received the
heartiest recognition of the audience; and, as if desirous
once more to say farewell at the end of the farce, was
again called, and he then really took a farewell of his
Drury-lane audience.
