WAILacK's TEATRE.-The s'School for Scandal was
played last night this house for the rentree OF Mr.
Ranger, veteran actor Of English and American repus
in the character of Sir Peter Tcaze Our acquaintance
with this gentleman dates far back that had almost
forgotten his identity and naturally felt curious to
ascertain how far recollection Of him corresponded
with his present vitality We pleased to recognise
in him Of those finished actors Of the old school Of
comedians, nearly extinct, who had succeeded in
rendering the creations of dranass like Congreve and
Sheridan in the exact spirit and fashion of the age
which they belong. With Munden, Dowton, Harley and
William Fafren, Mr. Ranger is associated with the distant
memories OF years long past and recommend those
who desire TO CLEAN some idea Of the peculares Of that
admirable class Of actors to witness his performances
His Sir Peter Teazie is highly polished and elegant
personaton and does full justice to the quaint conception
OF the dramatist Supported it by such
it rarely days meets with, we need not say that
this excellent comedy gave tho fullest satisfaction to the
audience.
