ars. GLOVES. •• ,
The Play is one of a species which hae been. al.;
most exiled from the stage by the superior refine:
meta of modern taste; and.we-have with incompar.l
able judgment decided on the superiority of the I
!Tangents and Shuiletont, to the polished fops and
graceful debauchers of the last age. Yet something
may still be said in favour of this fallen drama ; if
its moral tone was nut eminently high, it was nut at
least insultingly offensive ;—if its manners were
Mated, they wore polished;—and if its sentiment
ware'ettilnall.theY were at least enlivened. by nit,
satexpressed• with elegance. A cheaper 'mode of
construction has succeeded; and if an author is
fortunate enough to. introduce the caricature of an
abiurd fashion, a coat a yard shorter or longer than
osual, a new for* of folly, enlivened by the classical
phrases; 44 Push on, keep moving," or " Bang up,
prime," he has attained the summit of excellence and
populatity together. Notwithstanding all this, we
hoist* see an occaskunal revival of the obsolete
drama which delighted our fathers; and are glad to
find, in the Lyceum Theatre; a company fit to re. .
present its beat prOduCtiens. -
Mrs. Curren's debut in Mrs. Oakley, was re-
ceived with apPlause; and it is not mud ll ,to;''
that. the applause was aeserved. This !kittens pot:- •
