THE OLYMPIC-Few women can smile like Madame Vestris, and the smile that answered the hearty greeting of a closely packed audience, on the opening of this charming little theatre, was the smile of the graceful woman, as well as of the flattered actress.

and what now is the condition of the levi- logy is therefore needed for giving to them athans? Just so was it with the patent a notice more commensurate with their theatres. Neither the editors nor the ma- deserts than it has been heretofore the nagers, unluckily for themselves, appeared, practice to concede. in those days, to be blessed with the lights of political economy. They saw not that the population of readers, or of hearers, waxed redundant; that the demand was becoming greater than the supply; and that competition would soon assuredly spring up and produce the effects which have since been made so conspicuously visible by Mr. Macculloch and our own beloved Harriet Martineau. From this pernicious monopoly, it was (we leave untouched the question of vested rights) that the minors were originally called into existence; and by reason of gradually accumulated accessions of assistance and strength, their united power has, at last, enabled them to wage a successful fight for a participation in public favour.

There is, at this moment, scarcely a minor theatre in London that does not possess one or more stars, persons of established celebrity either, or of rapidly rising reputation. The pieces brought forward, generally, are compositions of the most creditable kind, clever and attractive from intrinsic merit, and valuable as incentives to literary labour in a department long and grievously neglected; while the performances are so skilful and well conducted, the scenic and decorative displays so creditable, and the manage. ment so well appointed, that no reasonable mind need regard with surprise the unequivocal encouragement these little theatres have thus received. At some of them, indeed, the proprietors have had the temerity to represent those plays which constitute what is understood by the term "legitimate drama ;" and though, in consequence of legal interference, they have burned their own fingers, it has been the means of shewing the fitness of such places for such a purpose, and the evident leaning of the public taste-any thing in the Parliamentary investigation" to the contrary, notwithstanding." Without

wishing to make an invidious selection, who, we would ask, that has witnessed the performance of "William Tell," «Virginius,” and other "stock tragedies," at the Surry Theatre, and the very excellent acting of Osbaldiston, Elton, Mrs. West, and the rest of the corps generally, will deny that the claim is pow. erfully made out, that here have been legitimate representatives of the legitimate drama, within walls that ought to be le. gitimatized. The minors, by their merits, have challenged a fair share of that critical attention which is almost exclusively bestowed on their more protected rivals, the patented majors, and no apo

It must be a pleasant thing, in truth, to see well-thronged seats and laughing faces, and a thriving treasury; to hear of theatrical distress, and feel it not. It must be a useful thing to others, moreever, for it induces thought, and makes managers reflect upon the wherefore and the why: adversity, like prosperity, rarely occurs without a cause, and when it approaches, the wit to avert it becomes wonderfully sharpened, and gives a double force to example. The only addition of moment to the last year's troop at this house is Mrs. Orger. This lady, Liston, and Madame, are a triple surety for the continuance of the success of this theatre, which, according to Charles Kemble's assertion, has hitherto exceeded that of any other in town. Vestris re-appeared as Fanny Bolton, in the old favourite of the "Grenadier," "ever verdant, ever fresh," which, like our other popular friends, the "Revels" and the "Devils," seems never tiring. A new piece called the "Water Party," launched from the pen of Mr. Dance, has proved a hit, and bids fair to become another of the undying ones, begotten of the Olympic. "My daughter, sir," a light one act burletta, introduced a Miss Murray, who, from not having acquired that most necessary qualification, self-possession, without which the latent abilities of a performer can never be displayed, is hardly amenable to critic law.

The house is constantly well and fully attended, it would seem.

THE SURRY.At this house has been performed a piece called "The Tower of Nesle," a translation or an adaptation of a French original; and it has proved highly attractive. The interest never for a moment flags, for the thing is full of incident; and well it may be, when the crimes of incest, parricide, murder, and other revolting infamies, are freely made subservient to the plot. There are some good situations for the actors, of course; and Mr. Osbaldiston, Mr. Emphasis Bennet, and Mrs. West, displayed their abilities to the greatest advantage. However suitable for the exhibition of histrionic talent such plays may be, they are cer tainly very great abominations; for they

tend much to deprave our better taste by familiarising the mind with the most atrocious conceivable acts of guilt. It needs not the recourse to the worst passions of our nature to produce interest and mental excitement in stage performances, when our sympathies may be sufficiently called into vivid and delighted action by homely and domestic incidents of far more profitable tendency. From the number of clever people, however, who are now beginning to give themselves to dramatic composition, we hope for better things to come.

A "domestic drama," called the "Factory Lad," which is intended to depict the misery of that unhappy class of beings in its worst state, has gained great favour among those whose feelings were most likely to be interested by it. Mr. Stuart (a provincial) performs in it with much spirit. This gentleman aspires to the higher walks of the drama. He may do well in melo-drama, but we question his fitness as a substitute for Mr. Elton or Mr. Bennet, whom he has succeeded. A series of "Tableaux," very pleasingly devised and arranged, has been got up in honour of the "great minstrel of the north." They are very effective, and exhibit great taste.

Astleys and the Coburg (the neighbouring rivals of the Surrey) are now closed, so that its rule there is none to dispute, and the house is nightly filled.

SADLER'S WELLS-From the abdication of Grimaldi the Great, of joyous memory, and the extinction of the "real water"-coval disasters-this theatre, up to the last season, had been sinking from a state of glorious renown into degradation the most pitiable. Countenanced by a community sui generis, artificers in bricks, excavators of the earth, and folk of that clique, Sadler's Wells was beginuing to be looked upon as but a convenient arena for the congregational exercise of those abilities, in whistling, screaming, yelling, and other laryngial energies, which so pre-eminently characterised its delighted audiences. If that the performances comprehended a fair sufficiency of bandit-ruffians, rant, fighting, fire, brimstone, and devils of all degree, the pleased spectators complained not of the infecundity of dramatic authorship; they came with the two-fold purpose of being amused, and of themselves amusing; and when the curtain fell, they went their ways rejoicing. But even this could not last for ever; Tartarean horrors were wrought dry at length, and Pluto would have been puzzled to devise novelties for a sulphur

" then

sated public. The "management desperately tried its hand at the shillingorder scheme, by which the gods, if so it squared with their pleasure, might quit their altitudes, and quaff gin cordial in the boxes; and here abomination pretty nearly reached its climax. How long time it would have taken to effect its impending self-destruction, was a subject for amicable disputation. Its career, however, was checked in a happy hour.

Mrs. Fitzwilliam, aided by a male adjuvant, and fired with the chivalry which animates her Amazonian sisters, Vestris and Waylett, came valiantly forth in the commencement of the summer season, to peril her fame and fortunes in the undertaking; since which time wonders have been indeed wrought. Some pretty Vaudevilles, good scenery, costumes clean, wholesome, and sparkling, clever men and women actors, and well-selected functionaries, have secured to her theatre that best of benefits-a good name, to herself a respectable auditory, and to it a fair and rational amusement; so that it is now no longer debasing to avow a visit to "The Wells."

The "Pet of the Petticoats," (a most infelicitous name by the by, bordering on vulgarity for the sake of a sorry alliteration,) translated by Buckstone, and garnished with some very pretty music by Barnett, has had a long and deserved run; other novelties, though of less attraction, yet all amusing, have rapidly succeeded. We counsel Mr. Buckstone, however, (who is a clever writer as well as a droll actor,) and all other authors and adapters whom it may concern, to mark well that nonsense is a sorry substitute for humour. Another "Little Red Man" will do more harm to his repu. tation than the doing into English of half a dozen "Victorines will be able to repair: trash, however decorated, will provoke something more than a yawn. The fountain scene of "real water was one of the most delightful things of the kind we

ever saw.

[ocr errors]

Here, also, has been produced another commemoration of the "great bard," consisting of several tableaux vivans, illustrative of several popular scenes in his novels and poems, very ably designed and as ably executed. The representation is preceded by the "Heart of Mid-Lothian," Mrs. Fitzwilliam sustaining the character of Madge Wildfire, to which she owed all her original notoriety. Of the other performers, among whom are Mr. Manager Williams, Hunt, unquestionably the finest man on the English stage, Miss Forde and Miss Somerville, we shall speak on another occasion.

STRAND THEATRE. This is about one of the prettiest places of amusement in London, at once homely and unexceptionable. That calamity in all others--a gallery-exists not here, and the consequent absence of all the noise and vulgarity, which invariably proceed from such a region, renders the performances doubly attractive, and gives a tone to them which the cultivated taste of a respectable assembly must of necessity impart. The theatre is compact almost, yet not to a fault, and its aspect is truly English; neat, clean, and-fie! for the inelegancy-snug to a luxury; the quiet audience can see and hear with pleasure to themselves, and advantage to the actors. No rant or facial contortions are necessary for " effect," so that the performances have the most conversational character imaginable; while the sterling merit of most of the pieces produced prevents any sense of tedium stealing over the house. The Strand Theatre (house, actors, audience, and all in lump) ought to have been summoned one night before the Parliamentary Committee, as a practical refutation of the arguments of the monopolists, and a crying rebuke to illiberal licensers. It is opened in defiance of the law; it has been threatened extermination by the law, yet it constantly exhibits that which the law is unable to enforce among those which it protects; an audience in the enjoyment of theatric pleasure, without any violation of the decencies of society, unannoyed by noisy uproar, and unpolluted by the presence of those "chaste stars" who outrage and infest every other house in London. Two my thological burlettas, called the "Loves of

[ocr errors]

the Angels and of the Devils," have been severally produced with great success, both emanating from the immortal mind of Mr. L. Rede, who, like Knowles and Serle, Shakspeare and Selby, (Gods! what names to mix in one short line,) unites the qualifications of an actor with the attributes of an author. The former is a kind of paraphrastic version of Moore's prototype without the feathers, and gives to Mrs. Waylett a happy opportunity for the dis play of a very handsome pair of legs, and of her powers as a vocalist, in a situation so well calculated to give value to the plaintive and gentle music of her voice. Her duets with Mrs. Chapman (who is daily becoming a greater favourite) are charming; the singing of these two ladies is harmony itself.

The "Loves of the Devils" is more creditable to the author as a composition; for it may be classed as one of the cleverest and most stinging satires that have appeared on the stage. It abounds in puns and pungent allusions to the existing naughtiness of the day, whether in law, politics, or morals, and lashes human "infirmities" with merciless rigour. The acting of Mr. Rede as " was very good, and gave greater piquancy to this two-act sarcasm. We wish him success in his bifarious efforts.

[ocr errors]

A light amusing trifle, called "Captain Stevens,' composed by Mr. Selby, who also shines in the double glory of actor and author, has been well received, whom, if we cannot compliment in the former capacity, we are ready to yield him much praise in the more distinguished character of a writer of interludes.
