A new Tragedy, ...died The Fanii4. Legend, wi,
last night (for the first time) reprecented at
Theatre, for the benefit of Mrs. Names-. It ;i h •
production of Miss JOANNA BMW!, a lady wh•
eariaenetaleats.are well known to the li:erary works:
To adapt the present Play for the stage it wAs nectif-
sary that it should be greatly shortened, and although
the curtailments have been made *with nitrh ju
le-
ment, many passages of considerable poeticAl mci it
were by this means omitted. The chief 'auk the
piece lies in the action. The characters want pm-
minence, and present bat few opportunities for an
actor to display those bursts of feeling which com-
mand the avention and awaken the sympathy of the
audience. Mrs. BARTLEY sustained the part o: the
Heroine, and her exertions and distinguished taloys
succeeded in giving interest and iMportan,:e to, a
character greatly below. :ter powers. Mr. BARTLEv,
who appeared on this occasion in tragedy, proved
that tffere too be was at home. The Prologue, by
Mr. WALTEIt Scorr, *as exceedingly well spktn
by Mr. BAKTLEY, and Mrs. EDWIN gave to the Epi-
logue great point and animation. The latter was
from the pen of Mr. MACKENZIE..

cordingly.

through his:fingere." •
