lIA YMARK----ET THEATRE.
Two first appearances—that of Miss Lucy Bennett on
the London 'atage, as Lady Townly in the celebrated '
comedy of the Provoked Husband, and of -Mr. Stuart in '
the counterpart of Lord Townly, threw out a twofald
attraction at this theatre last night. Recapitulation of
a plot so' familiarly known would be mere matter of sur-
plusage. Enough to observe, that the main vigour of
the piece lies in the contrast between the distinct and
diverse biasses and natures of the above two leading cha-
racters, and to wurk out this success fully is the great
mastery of the whole. To impart a greater intensity to
•, each, the lines of divergence the wider apart the better. •
Mr. Stuart has based his study of Lord Townly on this
principle, drawing out thereby in bolder relief- the ex- '
quisitively constructed 'character of • his gay and un-
thinking wife. Idolized before her marriage by crowds •
of suitors and adorers, Lady Townly, as enchanting in .
person as adorned with accomplishments, fancies that the .
connubial state ought to endow her with such freedom cif .:ei; ,
carriage and action, as the hampered constraints of vir-,44
ginhood could not possibly permit. With a tempera- ',;‘,011;
went naturally overflowing with sunniness to an ex-
treme, the shackles of constraint she supposes to he, ,4
broken immediately on her alliance with Lord Townly, ~A
and, aided by his wealth and station, she flings herself, 4:-
like a bright-winged and incautious reveller, among all
the sunshines and enticements of a-flaunty:and fashion-
able existence. This- attachment to the ; • world's.
pomps and vanities - is -as painful to Lord : Town-
ly's mind, as it is unexpected. He I - had admired
her retiring sweetness when unwedded, and adored the
depth of fascination that dwelt in her full-gushing, but, •
till then, cloistered nature ; the reverse shocks his finely'
constituted spirit, and every repeated gaiety and indis-
cretion on the part of his wife throws spleen and dis-
comfiture into his heart. Lady Townly, as the pie)"'
progresses, grows more and more involved in the
vortex of fashionable dissipation; and -Miss' Luc);
Bennett imparted a brilliancy- to her part '°'
no inconsiderable 'skill. The openings of her
quarrels with Lord Townly were thrown -off with s
beautiful playfulness and apologetic cleverness that re-
flected a fine light on the stateliness and discreet for-
mality assumed by Mr. Stuart. Graceful in her plume, - 1
and satinity, Miss Bennett aided the charms of her par '
by so voluptuous and winning an air that upbraidiiie
seemed cruel from her husband's lips ; and the beholder
wished to see her plunge the deeper among those pies" . i
