Miss DAVENPORT AS LADY TEAZLE-A
GRAND OLD COMEDY GRANDLY AcTED.-An-
other beautiful and brilliant audience greet
ed Miss Fanny DavenportIa last night, when
she appeared in her great personation OF
Lady Teazle, in the new Prince-oi-W Wales
version OF Sheridan's greatest comeas, the
School for Scandal. In a character made
famous by so many great actresses she
comes fully up to the representations made
of her, and does not suffer in comparison
with some of the most famous Of those who
have preceded her.
The character is entirely different from
that OF Mabel Renfrew, and in it she dis
playes the great versatility for which she
is.noted, and which enables her to shine as
a very Jewel, whether as Nancy Sykes, Rosa
lind, or Lady Teazle, and which stamps her
as a really great artistic, whether in emo
tional drama or fashionable comedy.
Miss Davenport received the most able
support from Messrs. Fisher, Davldge,
Parkes, Barrymore, Fawcet, Drew, Misses
Drew, Hamblin, Vinton, Paul, and, in fact,
the entire cast. The company have thus
far fully justified their claim to be the best
company, taken altogether, that has ap-
peared here since the good old days when
the old Marshall boasted the best stock
companies in the United States, and en-
braced such names as George Boniface,
Edwin Adams, Joseph Jefferson, John
Jack, Theodore Hamilton, Mrs. Jefferson,
Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Muzzy, Miss Mary Dcy-
lin Mrs. Edwin Booth), and others, most OF
whom have since become stars OF the first
magnitude.
The play last night was magnificently
mounted, the toilets superb, the music all
that could be desired.
The management, the company, and the
orchestra all seem to have conspired to
make the evening one OF genuine enjoy
ment, and one that would stand out as a
pyramid in the recollection OF other but not
brighter scenes.
At the matinee to-day. in obedience to a
very general request, Pique will be re-
peated. Everybody and wife should see
Miss Davenport as the admired belle, the
capricious wife, the distressed mother, and
last, but not least, as the happy and loving
wife and mother.
Tonight we bid Miss Davenport re-
luctant farewell, when she will personate
the dashing character OF Rosalind-one OF
the sweetest OF all the gentler creations OF
the immortal Shakspeare-and who, after
the lovely Juliet, is the worlds favorite
heroine of fiction.
