I ! Ji* Siv Si4.ion of Hughes was tiie very
I *riginal for which it was written. We did
r no* mark a fault.*
v torn ShufHeton did not want an easy cf.
Lor.tery in the hands of Sully, but wc
B nought his livelinef# appeared sometimes to
r Hag improperly.
1 Vc beg leave to afle. what could put it
[ J2to a?, y one’s head to dress Frank Roch
irde> just about to be married, and hii in-
Bjtended bride then in the house, in black ?
rThaugn unwilling to the much, it does
Jiot appear that external mourning was rc
i q'-ufite. Mary parts of this character were
\ badly done by Cromwell, but in the
mere difficult feenes, such as hij receipt of
the -ettcr, his meeting h;3 uncle anJ of
1 -Miry, were highly deficient.
Lord Fitzbaalam i3 merely rn appsn !
dage to toe play : what little was requisite !
TurubuL did for him.
Mrs. Whitlock trifled very well in la- !
fdy Caroline, but in our opinion, Ike ha*
too much sense for the character.
Mrs. Piacide was unufualiv excellent in
Mary. She looked the character, and
there was nothing to mend
We have already pronounced Mrs Brett
an excellent scold, nor did she fail to con
firm it in the character of Mrs.
pry. Was it not an excellent satire on fam
• iiy pride to hear her boa it of her lr<Jj con j
r.cltions ?
In the purft, we with pleasure notice the !
▼ery elegant manner in which Mailer Dou
glass acquitted himfclf. So young a lad to |
■perform lo well is indeed to deserve praise.
I No. Vi
Provoked Hi'Jband , and the farce
|f of TvmStrings to your Bow.
The Provoked Husband was ex
piefsiy written to discou r age sash -
onabie folly and extravagance, and
to promote conjugal felicity bv
shewing its dependence on domelik u
llduties.
The sentiments of the play are in
conformity wi h this intention, butl
in many parts, its dialogue, though j
a pretty gx>d Ipecimen of the chic
chat of high life, becomes fpiritleis
and uninteresting. A conversation
which the united good ailing of
Mrs. Piacide and Mrs, Whitlock
cannot render interelling, mull be
kedious.
% It is seldom that an in perfection
can be remarked in ‘Hodgkinfon ;
in thefoliloquy with which the play
opens, we think his countenance
& his voice remained claim for one
or two fentenccs too long.
Hughes was excellent in Sir
(Francis Wronghead. His pension
[ was highly diverting. j
In the country boo bp, fqtiire Ri !
chard, Sully had tome chance cf ex j
erting his comic powers,aed he did
it with success.
Turnbull vva* a tru? country fe- !
vant in John Moo Iy.
We chink conn* BiT : min'! have !
been rather more e.ifv in his man
ners than Mr. Wdr made him. It
not, we wonder at h s luccefs.
Siubere appeared in the charaAer
td Manly. Ho was evidently un
der the impreifiem natural on a firit
[appearance as a candidate for pub
flic approba ion in the arduous chu
radter of player. When v. e cohfi
der that he was not bred to the
lh uce any other profef
fion indures so cbfc An attention o
pronunciation, emphafising, looks
and gefturesi that ins appearance
was before tliofe who hid been well
acquainted with him, ius efficien
cies were lets than we had anticipa
ted. He need not robe allured of otir
personal good willies,and that these
remarks arc intended for his inlva :- I
tape. His voice, was no: fu?k i-i
cntlv exerted, nor always accom !
panied by looks and getlurcs thej
iiioO: proper for the part he was per-1
forming. His accent and crmhafisl
were sometimes improperly placed.!
The feene with Sir Francis, in j
which he is informed of :h j impend •
ing ruin of his family, we think re
quires not only a firm, but a pc. -
emptory manner.
It will require all his exertions to
enable Mr. Saubere to overcome
the and i fad vantages under which hr
° . >
commences aAFng > —by tools ex- j
ifrtions we trull he may become a re-j
fpeblable performer.
Mrs. Whi lock jrave us an elc~ t
gant lpecimen of the lady or quali-j
ty in lady Townly. Tae l ift iceat
was admirably fine.
Mrs. Piacnde was the real lady
Grace, • She would exjcy life and its
p!eafuresy but fiber ly.
The other characters were per
formed v/ich propriety.
The farce teems written princi
pally to difpfay the drolleries oi
L°.zui)F>. and that part was luns-r
*4 i \
j pored to M uncommon degree of
excellence by Mr, Hodgkinfon.
Neither Don Ferdinand or Don
Offavio exhibited fufficient anima
tion or emotion. Cannot the voting
gentlemen who were in the'e parrsj
produce a lirtie exertion ?
Mils Field lupported the charac
ter of Don Felix with tolerable pro
priety, but her voice was not strong
enough. We observed on leveral
occaiions, she could not withftaod
h’ eco inc powers of Hodgkinfon,
and as none in the house could do
! ic, we nut do blame her.
The eFtor of the Republican informs
me that Mr. Cromwell fee/a the remarks on
the 1 beatre, No. 11. to be aimed rather at
h:s personal than his Theatrical character
He is adored that I intended nothing of the
kind Every performer stands p/ed:ed to
exert himfelf for the public amusement, and
they pay lor their attendance under the per
suasion tliat he wil/. The apparent negli-j
ftence of Mr. Cromw-1/ in the character a / j
/uded to provoked me,l own, and I hoped b\ I
a portion of fcverif to arouie that exertion I
which /ait year rn \ 1c him beyond mediocrity j
in the character of Frederick of Fribourgh. ‘
