SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.
_ _

-
Although the sez.son be somewhat unfavourable for
theatricals, out of town being the order of the day,
the sterling productions put upon the stage night after
night at -if the Wells" draw lorth large_ and enthu-
siastic audiences. On Friday and Saturday last
Sheridan
_Knowles's play of William Tell was repro-
duced, in a manner which would have commended to
the applauseof the audience a piece of fitr inferior
merit. The caste included the Mite of the company,
`and thedresses and scenery .were
,admirably got up
and arranged. Mr.l.'helpspersonified the character
of the patriot Tell with his usual energy, talent, and
discrimination. His, acting in this character is too
well known, and too, highly appreciated, to. admit of
throughout. The other characters werweassn
criticism at this time of day. It
an cquatly creditable manner, Mr. George ~Uelinet(
admirable
did ample justice to the character of Gesler, while
21,sors. Hoskins, Mellon, A. YoungP, and F.
lounge, ably represented the characters of: Michael;
S Teschal, and Braun. The female characters
were sustained with equal talent, those of Emma,
Agnes, and A.meli?, being respectively sustained by
Mrs. Archbold, Miss E. Travers, and Miss Marston.
The per,f,gmances concluthd with the popular firce
of Uncle which is as popular as on the first
night .of its production, although it has now, been re-
peated
for some Wteen tithes.
