Davey-Law t..—The Comedy of The School for
&earl night, at this Theatre, bad the aid of Mr.
Ltirrow, in Cheir'es surface, Mr. Marrurws in Sir
Peter Teazle, and Mifs Duwcaiss laff from Margate,
in Lady • tazle.—Mr. EL LISTON'S Charles, is an eafy,
but apparently fludied performance, of which we can
sot fay it greatly furpaffed many reprefentations of
the part which we have feen, even of late days, given
by aCtors of left claim to celebrity. Mr. M•THLWS'S
Sir Pear, was refpeetable; but, being in part an imita•
tioo, it reminded us, frequently, too much of the oil.
to command that applaufe which otberwife
at might have delerved.
Of mth. Du w C•H'S Lady Teazle, we cannot hefftate
to fay, that it is a performance of great prornife ; the
applaufe the experienced was fuch as to gave her confi-
dence to attempt any thing. Her figure as tall, tlender,
and well proportioned. Her cnuntenar.ce, if not Cri-
tically beautiful, is uncommonly interefting and ex-
preffive. She has a voice clear, powerful, and capable
of every modulation. Her fine features are lighted up
with fprightlinefs, and her eye fparkles with intelli-
gence. She was, to ufe a theatrical phrafe, in c 0...
pieta poffeffi .n of the If age,confequently pettedly con-
werfant with thole cArential qualities which contlitute
the chief art of her proleffion. The acutenefs of her
wit, the feverity of her farcafro, the [lathes of her
merriment, al the backbiting affemblage of Lady
Siurerivell, were happily and apprvriately delivered;
and where the wheedles Sir Peter iota good humour
and oat of his money, her playfulnefs, and the intro.
duration of a charming little air, which ffiefung with-
out being accompanied, infpirell the audience with a
degree of admiration that has only been produced
by one more comic aearefs at prefent on the nage.—
Itt fcreen-fcene the was dignified, although peni.
tent t and her contradiCtion of jofeitb Surface', falfe
and hypocritical profeflious to Sir Prier on this im-
portant difenvery, indticed all whet heard her to it
Bret the aberration, of her youth, and to refpett Lady
Tease e even in her apparent fall.
'tickled Caeirde Lien followed, and again met with
a very tavnurAbie reception. The boxes were filled
with well drelfed females; and the pit was crowded
in a very Ikon time after the opening of the doors.
Covsmv GAR,tll.—Lalt night, a very numerous
audience was :oft ailed to this Hunk. Although
there wa, nothing of novelty prefented, a very rich
(call was provided for the dramatic amateur. The
play was Pizarro; Rolla and Eloire, by Mr. KIVAILS
and Mrs. SIMONS ! The latter was rapturoufly greet-
ed upon her entrance, and both of diem made a hells
difplay of that excellence which has long maintained
them at the head of their profcffion. The piece is
extremely well got up, and went off highly to the fa-
tisfaltion of a crowded and brilliant audience, 41. a ,
the dropping of the curtain was followed by a loud
peal of applaufe.—ln the After-piece of The Loa and
.key,, MUNDFN in Brunnuayeet, and Eimer!. in Ralph,
kept the audience in alma a continued roar o;
laughter.
