81 CHARLES THEArER.-Those who were
present at the Old Drury last night, ana they
were goodiy number Of our best citizens,
must have been forcibly reminded Of lis rainy
days, when such lights as Macrea1v. keap. |

ne advent OF the eminent tragedian, Mr.. f. |
l.. Davenport, alter SO long an interval Of SEN |
sailonal, idyl and laekadaisical plays, may be |
regarded as a most welcome revival of the
legitimate drama.
Inc performance last night Was so grand
and Impressive that we cannot speak too
hlghly OF II. AS Sir Giles Overreach we
think that AIR. Davenport has no living equal,
and his lmpersonation Of that character can
Justly rank with Booths Richard. Kean's
'Oihoilo, Macready's werner, Forests
'Leal, and Wailack's "Iron Mask. From
his first entrance upon the stage You see
he has fully identified himself with the
part. Every lock, tone and gesture is I
oet g. and his mastery portrayal 5
u me character exhibits conception {
md execution which cannot be surpassed. {
The successnl rendi ion of the play depends .
ar5eiy upon the support accorded it, and we :
re happy to state that the st. Charles COM
