wAIilcx's TmAmr.-A SKw CoSspy.-A new comedy,
under the somewhat clumsy title, "a Maiden Wife; or,
Romance after Marriage" produced here last night
20 a rereshingy full house. The authors Of the comedy,
Mcssrs r. Goodrich and l. Warden, havo heretofore
essaycd the perous of dramatic writing
cessful adaptation OF NJ octave Feuets "Daa," which
played Burtons theatre last They have
not however deserted their first love Tho comedy OF
last night founded upon French provgtss, of
which, at least, belongs ~ the suthor Of "Dals."
Both PROVERBS moulded together with tact but
with sufficient skill 70 give the play that drecness and
purpose which OF the prime requisites In dramatic
construction The hero o the main plot Ernest Dcvcrcux
Qcster) has just been married with louise Miss ste
vens). Ernest Is thirty, and hd9. Louise
hears between her hu band and his brother
which proves her that the marriage only
she, q" gushing young thing docs not approve
Of this and much cut by H. She therefore lays plans
10 provoke his jealousy and excite him the
time in which she s entirely successful In the other
plot have Countess and Count who get up strong
irritation the peris which are amusing enough 10 oil up
almost acts The Countess for mysterious pur.
pose, puts forward her inendant, Mudwh (Mr Blake)
her husband and the Of the play may be
crbed chiefly 70 the acting Of this part and really has
nothing whatever to do with the main story q the
comedy
The dialogue cf this piece very well written, always
pleasant, and often witty. There radical faults
IN the construction and the first act is very slow Tho
fun In the second and third acts however redecms the
dunees Of the first As far the acting Is concerned
the honors Of the night belong Mr. Blake He created
character out of some shreds and patches and gave
another proof the breadth Of his hunor and the yersa
tlty Of his genius Mr. Lester and Mr. walcot had but
little TO do and did that in gcntlemanly and noensvc
way The heroine was played by Miss Sevens-an
actress We presume, quite 10 tho bosrdn extra
ordinary manner. In the first act she seemed 10 be
attempting an imitation of an actress identified
with the immoral drama and at the end she attempted
70 be startling and spasmodc where she should have been
only quiet and natural II y quite evident that Miss
Stevens haf great deal 70 learn Mrs Hooy had only
speak some lively dialogue and some pretty
quite unnecessary TO say that she did both very well
indeed.
The play was short, and the end ratified cg with rustic
dance The audience received all favorably; and Mt the
end Mr.. Lester made speech of thanks behalf
Of the authors.
