DRURY LANE THEATRE.
--..--

This Ilquse was re-opened last night, with the Coe.ly
of the Road to Rada. When the Overture was con-
cluded, and the curtain raised, one or two arprisite
Loyalists called out for God Sire the rag, which was
answered with loud cries of kick Aim ord. Mr. 11;:ssat.t,
came forward and stated, that as it was not the begin•
ning of the Season, the omission of thaf Amthrms was
no deviation from established custom. This esplanatiow
appeased these loyal spirits.
dlr. FARRES, in consetponee of the indisposition of
Mr. Alt.suev, performed the part of (//d norneen, to
the treat satisfaction of the audience. The other cha-
racters were cast as usual.
Duis Girieinai was the afterpiere. 'Madame Yrarars.
in several of her soars, was encored. The house hai a
most brilliant appearance from a crowded audience,
which augurs favourably for the stte,t,s.s of this season.

The Tragedy of the Receuge WWI lest night played
at this Theatre, to introduce Mr. Mai :amain as Zan's,
for the first time. 1.-4 s a had play, and therefore re-
quires in the actor a greater strength of genial' and
ebility to acquire fur it fly favour of an audience. MA •
CIMA DT'? conception of the part was, as it always is,
original; and the success with which he played the
principal scenes, was even beyond :tuy thing we have
ever witnessed (Cori hint. In the tirst act, when new
hopes of revenge open to his soul he was peculiarly
great, and produced an impression upon his audien.:e,
which, as the play advanced, was woniul progressively
higher until the last arene, when the whole lion.e be-
came enthusiastic. When inciting Alonzo to the mur-
der of Leonora, and enumerating the inhuman sacrifices
which the Greek and Roman Ilktories accord as in-
stances of-
- doing right in stern despielit of Lahore,"
he seemed to feel the elervaion of his subject. and to
amend almost beyond the range of Inman Lelings.
The last couplet of the speech—
" A *ire, a bride, a mistress anenjoyed—du that
" And tread upon the Greek and RU11311.1 glory,"
was delivered in a manner not beneath the highest per-
fection in the histrionic art. His esititalion at the suc-
cess of his villainous plots was terrifir.. The appeal to
the spirits of revenge, and to the shades of leis " dear
countrymen," he displayed the finest pathos, mingled
with the triumph of an insulted spirit broken from las
chains, and revelling in vengeance. Mr. Kassala
evinced mach merit in his performance of Atoese.
Miss Foorc was an interesting Leonura. \nt even the
great talents with which this play was supported, coed
attract an an.li,.nce. A large port' of this theatre was
unoccopied and presented a desolate appearance.
