pwThEATER. Brcyer's company is
still playing before our people. and is greet
cd every evening with crowded and delight
cd audiences. We have looked in upon some
three or four of their performances, and can
freely say they are artists of fine talent On
Monday night we witnessed Mr.. j. +.
Brewers personation of "Othello, and
must say it was rendered in a manner that
would have reflected credit upon an actor of
far greater pretcntions. In the third act,
when the impetuous Moor seems to realize
that Desdemona is false to him, and feels
the "green-eyed monster" get complete
control of him, he exclaims with thrilling
effect:
20, now, for ever,
Farewell the tranquil mind farewell. content!
Farewell the pluined troop, and the big wars,
That make ambition virtue! o, farewell!
Farewell the r.ighing steed, and the shrll trump,
The spirit. stirring drum. the ear.piercng life.
The roynl banner; and all quality,
Pride, pomp, and circumstances Of glorious war!
AndO you mortal engines, whose rude thfoas
The immortal Jove's dread clnmours counterfeit,
Farewell! I! Othellos occupadon's gone
Every one that heard him on Monday
night, will bear witness to the thrilling and
startling power with which Mr.. Brcyer rem
dered this passage. The fiery Openness o.
Othello, magnanimous, artless, and credu
lous, boundless in his confidence, ardent il
his affection, infexible in his resolution, ant
obdurate in his revenge, was produced witt
