DRURY-LANE THEATRlL—Saturday evening, after
the Play of King Lear had been concluded, Mr.
RussELL came forward and addressed the audience.
He said, the Public, at all times indulgent, had
taught them, when anything occurred to interrupt
the performance, to come boldly forward to speak
the plain and honest truth. On the present occasion
he was sorry the entertainment which had been an-
nounced for that evening. (The Innkeeper's Daughter)
could not be performed, in consequence of the music,
which was all in manuscript, having been stolen, and
there was nothing left for them to do but the best
they could under such circumstances ; they had,
therefore, substituted .Of Age To-morimu for the
Innkeeper's Daughter. This apology did not, how.
ever, satisfy the majority of the audience. Miss KELLY
and Mr. HARLEY commenced their performance, but
were not suffeied to proceed; when Mr. RUSSELL
again came forward, but with no better success. Mr.
ELLISTON presented himself, and, the clamour not
much abating, said, he hoped the " respectable part
of the audience would not allow him to be insulted:
This appeal changed the tide of clamour into appro
bation. The piece accordingly proceeded without
further interruption.
