DRURY Lane THIATRI.—AII the diletanti sa
amateurs of male, were drawn into one focus es
Saturday evening, to hear the Opera of Love it;
Pillage. The principal novelty was a young Lady*
named LYONS, who appeared, for the firlt time, it
the charafter of Rofetta —No Loner had the opened
her mouth, than 44 words fweet as honey from he
lips dittill'd ;" and, after the completion of the firll
ftanza, the was warmly applauded ; the executed all
the airs allotted to her with tafle and fweetnefs, and
the audience continued to :Oily their fatisfadiunbt
the tribute due to her merits, during the whole
the piece. This Lady has a gond figure, and an int
tetetling countenance; her dialogue is neat and
appropriate ; her tinging is loch, as to render hers
dittingnithed adjunct to the vocal department. Mrs
MATH sws and Mrs. Bums, were in fine voice. Mr.
DowTotr, as juflite Woodroa, gave a chalte Minor
tion of the gouty old magiftrate. This Gentlemai
is always humorou,, without o'erfleoping the to
deity of nature ; and we may pronounce this clv
rafter to be one of Mr. Dowron's hap;ied efforts..
Mr. JoHNSTONE, in Hawthorn, and Mr. SMITH,
Hodge, exerted themselves with confiderable credit.
Mrs. SPARKS, as the talkative Mr:. L'eborah Wood
coca, and the tell of the Performers, contributed to
the fuccels of the evening.
The Farce was The Wedding Lay, in which Mrs.
JORDAN perternted Lady Conte. This ranks among her
bell performances, arid lh: was greeted by an en.
lightened auditory, with that unabated ardour which
her excellence merits. In the Dead of the Night,"
was Tung by her, in a fweet and charming ftyle;
was rapturoutiv encored. Mr. Marieews performed
Sir Adam Contrib.—The houfe was crowded to se
overft,iw. This fuccefs is almolt unprecedented St
this early part of the theatrical campaign ; but, sic
can only add—fuch is the force of attraftien.
