The Legitimate Drama re
Vivcd--A New version Of
"BlOOdy kgiChnrd."


Mr.. Wellington Meech, the gcutloman u
who, as the cntcrprising manager Of our II
Thcspic Temple, has hitherto catered so o
successfully to the dramatic taste Of our !
people, is soon to fovorua, we are inform 8
ed, with theatrical representation Of Z
King Richard Ill Few of our readers,
we npprchcnd, have notwitpcsscd or per- 4
used with admiration, this, one Of the !
most popular tragedies Of the immortal =,
bard. Fearless, bloody bold, rcsoluto ,
undunsorupulous, Richard was the last
.oi the Pluntagcnots who sat upon the
English throEoi and having gratiied his
eph'tion ~ The sacrifice of his nohlest
pecrs, its consumption was speedily fol-
lowed By the battle ur Bosvurth Firld.nhd
the death Of the royal vrant.
/ In The scenic prelude tp the terrific com-
bat, we behold. the "tcntcd 6cll.m whore
bending the watches Of the night. the re
val princes, Richard and Richmond sleep
upon thoir arms In this interval Of re-
/ pose they are respectively yisitcd by the
ghosts Of the departed slain upon whose in
nocentnocks Richard had climbed into his
royui scat Thcse upparitious glide lof.ro
the vision Of the usurpor, aud torture his
guilty spirit with bitter prophecy aud &C
lCusations-whie,t to the troubled soul Of
Richmond, they impart The happy au-
gurios OF success.
This scene is one of tho most thrilling
and effective that ;hc piece affords, and
with certain emendations Of character
and Of text, we submit the same 10 the
/ Consideration Of thnse who are partial to |
legitimate" applications.
