Last night play by Mr. Tom Taylor entitled the FOOLS
Revenge was given here for the nrst time to an i'm

storyone OF those drcaduly painful storesof passion
and fatality that tho cruel Italians OF the Middle Ages
revelled in. Originally it might hayc been the lus.ra
on to some old frar's revenge. IL told how
q man was wronged-how he plotted, schemed labored
and watched night and day heap and misery on
those who had wronged hm-and how at last the real
ru and misery that his plots and schemes caused fell
upon the only being that be loved, and finally

To up both tho actress and the play in single line
We may state that Madame Methua very good, and
the pastoral, musical drama was very bad.
