JAMES'S. Last night the veteran Braham, ttae oldest ,ce believe' and unquestionably the best siuger on the stage, opened his campaign with a corps dramatique well calculated to sour a successful season. Besides our old favourites, the stars of St. James's, Miss Rainforth and the Misses smith, with the inimitable Harley, no less than three new candidates far the public favour made their first appearance 8t this elegant little theatre last night. There was Mrs. ts whose excellence as an actress is surpassed only bY beauty as a woman ; then we had Miss Mears, a Pe 71 lady who appears to possess capabilities both as a singer 9"„° an actress of a very respectable order; and last ja r enumeration, but first in our estimation, a gentleman namedlfil ,; Wright, from the Theatre Royal Birmingham, made 'first appearance here. He is an actor of great prat:air,: and although the incessant and rapturous applause ssiit" which he was greeted might have exceeded a little tue occasion for it, we think he gave evidence of possessiat much aptitude for low broad comedy. His debut was 3 successful as he himself could desire. The entertainments of the evening opened with a WI hurletta, The Assignation ; or, What will my wife sfyi; The audience received the trifle very favourably, an" gt though we could not laugh as they laughed, nor apPl.a od conjecture the echo, as they applauded, we are willing to that the audience might probably have been quite right .ib/ We were last night, perhaps, hypercritically disposed, we fancied that the burletta was a bore—that it drew slow length along drowsily and drearily—that its 191.°7/ 5, ag without interest, and the dialogue bald, dull, and point e•• The audience, however, were decidedly against us, and e,,IP favour of 7'he Assignation, which was announced for rep is tition amid the most enthusiastic applause, and without single dissentient voice. At the end of the burletta was sung, very delightfililsl; " God save the Queen," by Braham, Miss Rainfortb,Atho Smith, and Miss J. Smith, and the whole strength of company. The Young Widow followed. It was in this loug bflaY and popular piece that Mr. Wright, the provincial Idol date for comic honours, made his first bow to l'e audience. 311The concluding pieces were, Is Sie his Wife! and thinks I see 114 Father were It is observable that the entertainments last night —d eeir not musical. We were permitted only to see, strained to forego the gratification of hearing, either d to Rainforth, the Misses Smith, or Braham, who seemed have met only to part. They gave us the national an the the only, and we neither saw nor heard more of them a . evenin oa g.
