DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Last night the German
company gave Spohr's Faust. The performances were
announced as being " for the benefit of the chorus," but
the opera affords no opportunity for the display of their
ability, which constitutes one of the chief attractions of
the representations by this troupe. Of the general style
in which the opera was given we cannot speak in praise,
but the Mephistopheles of Carl Formes, though some-
what too prominently in the mediocrity of the other
characters. The orchestra was too noisy, and failed
to
do full justice to the profound and recondite, but still
drveatic, ideas of the composer.
