would add without falling into gsllantry. which has ~
place in criticism that the work exhibits remarkable
talent and that Mrs. Howe deserved the splendid
ovation she received at the close of the performance
We have only time to add word on Miss hefons
actng Portions of il worthy of herself; she s
at.licous lover. Other portions needed more study;
and do not think Miss Heron, while acting every
night can with week or 40 of preparation for nov
pa,t, do herself justice in ipenng her mode OF
executing It. the inadequate portions OF her repre-
sentstion, we would cite the where she
discovers that Lothian is married, and with his vile.
Another is her extracting the death warrant from
the Prince. The dying scene could not be good be-
cause wants interest and nature. She speaks long
