Drtur.vJANE THEATRE.—Mr. P sE, who soar-
time ago performed at the Haymarket, ;Appel rod on
Sa'uttlay, in Hamlet. He appears to have many of
the most important requisites for his profession. llis
figure, though petite,• is graceful, and his counte-
nance pecu!iarly expressive. The natural enshorrass-
mots of a first appearance, probably prevented the
more favourable exertion of his voice : it was occai
sionally feeble and indistinct. The character in
which he appearmi may he considered, from its va-
rioustsess and dithculty, as a sufficient test of any pow-
ers capaltle of sustaining it ; and Mr. Rat: evidently
acquitted himself to the satisfaction of his audience.
He was frequently applauded in the more striking
scenes and his second appearance was alitou:.ced
with repeated clapping% from the Pit and Boxes.
