DRURI-LANE THEATRE.

- ~--

Shakspere's Tragedy of " Richard III." was re-
vived at this theatre last evening, Mr. Barry Sulli-
van making his appearance in the character of
Richard. His reception was a very hearty one, and
his performance of the part was altogether a very
excellent one. He throws a great deal of power and
passion into the part, and called forth loud and
general applause. The Duke of Buckingham was
represented by Mr. Wlntyre, and Mr. Sinclair,
who is making rapid strides of improvement in his
profession, sustained the part of Richmond with
praiseworthy talent. Mrs. Hermann Veziu on the
occasion appeared as Queen Elizabeth, Miss Edith
Stuart, as Lady Ann, and Mrs. H. Vanderhoff, re-
presented the Duchess of York. Of the impersona-
tion of the first named lady we have again to repeat
the praise which, during the season, we hare had
the pleasure of awarding her, for her excellent re-
presentation of the parts;eutrusted to her. The
tragedy was received with general applause, and
bids fair to ba one of most successful revivals ofathe
season. The " School for Scandal" is an-
nounced for representation this evening, with
Mr. Phelps, as Sir Peter, and on Monday,
next we are to have an entire representation of
"The Man of the World," in which he will appear
as Sir Pertinax Mac Sycophant. The last nights of
the great pantomime are announced, its withdraw al
becoming necessary,. not by a failure of its power
of still attracting large audiences, but in order that
Colonel Richards' new drama, " The Prisoner of
Toulon," may be produced during the present
season.
