FORMS New THEATRE.-Ths School for
Scandal, with an amusing farce, have been
selected as appropriate pieces for Mrs Bowers
second benefit, and will, no doubt, draw as
large and appreciative an audience as this
81 a. on has known. Every one who has any
ELowledse of our modern drama will recognise
III the School for Scandal one of Sheridan's
So efforts We see in it the scintIlations of that
N Ost iliustrous genius. Mrs. Bowers will to-
a ut essay he character of Lady TeazIe: a part
which the best critical Judgment we have has
said he excels in. Mr.. Wheatiegh will appear
B. Joseph Surface, which character he is most
.tcm irably fitted to perform. Sir Peter Teazle,
Lady Teazle, Joseph Surface, and the other
TORS Of every day life. The composition of the
school for Scandal occupied but two months,
sand if our judgment be allowed to suggest it.
I'VE should state that probably no two m onths
OF tie authors life were more profitably en-
poyed The author was at that time not
tWfnty.six. He had studied the virtues and
evils ofhuman existence. and hence drew the
most excellent pictures of life.
