To tbt Printer of the Augusta Chronicle • S I R, AS the DRAMATIC SOCIETY have fuccecded so far in their design, as to nt up a theatre for the entertainment of the inhabitants et Augusta aud its vicinity, we may uot only anticipate to ourselves an ex ecutive fund of pleasure and tational anrufe ment, but a thorough annihilation ot native rurttetty, refinement of manners, cultivation of iafte, and above all, a true repieientatimt of all ages aud proieifiona, of ail ttauons and degiees, from the exalted throue of the mo narch, dowu to the mtlerabic butt of the beggar— The intent of this publication is to otfet a few remarks on the merits and deme nts ot the performers of the Tragedy and Farce exntbited (as the fiift) under the au lptces of this new society —lt may be said mat tince gentlemen have*uudeitaken such an attair minty for their own arouiemcnt, criti aim ought to have been laid alide; to this I auiwcr, ihat, tiucc thsy w.lh to make them teives thus conspicuous m the dilplay of their anilities, they ought to i'ubiuic .0 the opinion which the audience migtu form of their nte nt. These remarks, therefore, aud such as may IteicaKei loiiow, (winch wdl only be after the performance ota play) will very prupeily come under r he head or tute of THE THEATRE. In the choice of the Tragedy of George Barnwell, tor the tit It oriictt, the Matters did uot dilcovcr much judgment—They ought to have formed 4 tiiltinctiou betwee 1 protec ted aftors, aud peifous who were meie no vices in the etiquette of the Itagc ; aud 67 ad hering to this diicnuiuation, Barnweil would have been very wifely laid aside To behold tragical fccncs, in which the pafiions a»e not routed in proportion «o the degree ot horror we form in our own breads ol the aftious, is but purlelqueing human natuie in the nighest degree i—ot all other ipecies of exhibition, a Tragedy, when not performed to real hie, is the molt innpid —it therefore requites time aud abilities to become a favourite of Mtipo mint• The gentleman who perfonated Thorow good went thiough his { art with cale \ he was particulaily happy in the feene between hiinlell and barnweil, wherein he “ chicles” ; him lot hi» aufente. Barnwell's figuie and voice weie greatly againlt him \ —the pathet c paits weie delivered iu such an clicuuuate low tone, and with so little energy, that we weie at a loss to know, whe her his hatred to Millwood, the horroi of his own guild for the muider ts bis uncle, or his unbounded griet tor “ the 101 l Maria” wrought the mult powerful on his imagination : In what he was deficient however iu baruwell, he made u;> in Couple.— Trueman had every requitue if he had fpokeu loudei ; his icferveouels in some pailages were pet haps injudicious; uth. rs rnighi form a reverie judgment.—The <entle mau who acted Barnwell'* Uucle, weut thio* his part rood pathetically » we may venture to a Urn, without exageratinu, it was the mailer piece of the whole peiformance.
