THEATRICAL LMEmoRANDA.-On Monday even
ing, Mr.. HART, a young gentleman who is "by
birth, by education, and by principle" Rhode
Islander, made his first appearance at our theatre,
in the character of Reuben Glenroy, in the play OF
Town and Country. He sustained his part with
much ability, and was received with every testi-
monial of applause. The part selected by him for
an opening, is Of great interest, exceedingly
duous, and is not easily sustained. Mr.. HART, had,
however, a very clear conception Of his author,
and we doubt not will, after little practice and
experience become an able representative Of the
honest and faithful Glenroy.
Tuesday Erening-Point ofHonor, to full, but
very noisy house, as is usually the case, on the
evening of the celebration of the Anniversary of
American Independence. His excellency the Co.
vernon and suit, together with Major General Car.
penter and aids honored the theatre with their pre-.
sence.
Thursday Erening-Georse Barnwell and the
Forty Thieves. Barnwcll, by Mr.. HART, it being
his second appearance, and it gives US pleasure to
say that he supported the part with much effect,
and to his entire credit. His voice is full and harmo
nious, over which he might have great command
If he possessed little more confidence, and which
he must command If he ever hopes to succeed
His readings are chaste and accurate his action is
correct, but rather too formal but ii will undoubt
edly improve as he becomes more familiar with his
profession. His figure is good, and his face we'll
turned and expressive, and we are prepared to
bat in ho all ha
quisites for an actor and that if he cultivate his
talents, he will day arrive at the higher honors
of the drama. He has, however, much to do and
to learn, and if he should occasionally meet with
some rebuf., let him not be discouraged, for he
should remember that dramatic fame is not to be
obtained by one or two representations.
Mr. HART evidently takes Mr.. CONWAY for his
model and although he could not have selected a
happier example, SO far as reading is concerned,
we admonish him not to adhere too firmly to the
tor Although we are among the warmest Of Mr..
ConwAYs admirers, we insist he has faults of ac-
ton, which no aspirant for dramatic honors should
strive to initiate.
We must remark, that in the opinion we express
of his Reuben Glenroy, we may differ with others
but we do consider his debut most successful
one. 1t was not without its faults, but taken as
whole, certainly did the young gentleman much
credit. A little more rant, would probably have
better pleased some, who altogether misconceive
the character.
We must not omit to mention in our memoranda,
that the Morgianna Of Miss Clarke, as ably sus-
taned as we have ever seen tive doubt if there
is any one that can do better. The songs Duets
were sung by her with much effect She is young
lady of much talent,and in whatever she undertakes
<is invariably correct. Ali Bahia, by Mr.. Clarke
was as well sustained as wish to it, and the
Ganem Of Mr.. Williamson was very creditable to
ms dramatic attanments.
The Theatre has been singularly unfortunate in
losing the services of Mr. Kilner and Mr.. John Mills
Brown, neither Of which gentlemen, it is probable
will be able to crafty with their performances
this season.
