she recals to Admiral Franklyn's mind the affection he once bore her

scene, was highly pathetic. — His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex,
and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, honored the Theatre
with their presence.
Mr. Mathews met with a serious accident on Monday night, at the
Plymouth Theatre ; — 'whilst making his bow at the end of his ' Spring
Meeting/ the drop-scene gave way, and fell on his head with such
force, Ithat he was insensible for upwards of an hour. Dr. Magrath
and Mr. Fortescue were sent for, and he was so much better the next
day as to be able to perform.

Liston's performances here, during the week, have proved a great
source of attraction ; the Theatre has beeH crowded nightly, and the
boxes have been filled by the most elegant and fashionable company.
On Saturday evening, Paul Pry was acted, for the second time this
season, and was received with great langhter and applause ; — after
which, Fish out of fFaier, in which Liston^s Sam Savoury seemed to
have lost none of its piquancy, nor yet to have J)alled on the appetites
of the audience, who appeared to have as keen a relish for his humor
as ever. The petite comedie of Lodgings for Single Gentlemen con-
cluded. This agreeable trifle was admirably acted. — Mrs. Glovei's
J^lrs. Prattle (a sort of Paul Pry in petticoats) if not quite as laugh-
able a part as Liston's in the first pieee, was equally well acted. Mr.
Webster's Trusty was a clever performance, and reminded us strongly
of one of Harley's bustling footmen. Vining and Miss F. H. Kelly
were excellent in their respective parts.
This Theatre, like its rival, the Haymarket, can boast of having
been fashionably an(^ numerously attended during the last week. On
Saturday evening, The Robbers Bride was performed, for the sixth
time, to a very good house. It strikes us that the title of this Opera
is a complete misnomer, there being no such character in the piece as
the Robber's bride: Laura merely promises to become so to save her
father's life, and as Roberto generously waives his ri^^ in favor of
Fernando, she can have no title to the appellation of the Robber's
Bride. The second piece was He * Lies like Truth,' followed by The
Middle Temple. Wrench, as Briefless, and Keeley, as Brutus Hair-
brain, succeeded in gaining a good deal of applause ; the one by his
bustling nonchalence, and the other by his donsomanie. Mrs. Keeley, '
as Penelope^ sang Rodwell's pretty air, ' Young Susan bad lovers,' in
a very piquante and pleasing manner.
There is a new Grand Opera, a new Melo-Drama, and a new Musi-
cal Farce in rehearsal at this House.
Entertainments of a novel description, though on the plan of Vanx-
hall, are to take place three times a week, at the Eyre Arms Gardens,
St. John's Wood ; the vocal department under the direction of Mr.
Bryant, the favorite Irish singer, and the fire-works on a grand scale,
conducted by Mr. Southby, of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, and
Vauxhall. The company are efficient, and the bill of fare so inviting,

Munden has just recovered from a severe fit of the gout. The veteran
is still importuned by the Managers of both the winter houses, to re-

The following Song is sung by Miss H. Cawse, as Nannetta, in the
popular Melo-drama of The Sister of Charity.
There never was a Nun, Sir, without a true call,
And call I have none, Sir— for Nun, Sir, at all ;
And except in Nun's flesh, Sir, no Nun there can be.
And none of the kind, Sir, was ever in noe :
So I can't be a Nun, Sir — I can't be a Nun,
And more after that, Sir, I won't be a Nun.
And I won't be a Nun, Sir— because — let me see.
Because I don't want, Sir, a Nun, Sir, to be ;
And still if you teaze me to tell you why I don't,
It's because, if you please. Sir — because I —I won't;
So I can't be a Nun, Sir — I can't be a Nun —
I can't, and I ought'nt, and I won't be a Nun.

"The Pla> Vthe thing !''—AsYfo7TAomas'«067crreT\ ~^~
The Sister of Charity was performed again at this Theatre last
night, with undiminished attraction ; after which, the petit Opera of
Gretna Green, displayed the versatility of Miss Kelly's talent, by her
highly amusing personation of Betty Fdnikin, a heartless affected la-
dy's-maid, assuming her mistress's manner, with her cast off clothes ;
a part so widely differing from St.Ursula, a creature all soul, all feel-
ing, yet was this great actress equally true to nature in both her der
lineatioBS. Wrench was excellent as the gentleman's gentleman ; he
seemed as if nature had never intended him for a superior grade. G.
Pensob acted with great spirit as Larder, and gave unusual prominence
to a part in itself of no great importance. Mr. Bland and Miss Cawse
as the aristocratical lovers sang and acted well enough for a lord and
lady. T?ie Bottle Imp, with its didbleries followed, to the great de-
light of some, and to the terror of others among the audience, if we
may judge from the countenances of a fat dame and her sposo, who
sat near us, who absolutely perspired with fright.

The performances at this Theatre, last night, commenced with the
lively one-act piece of jyianosuvring , which was capitally acted : Mr.
Vining, as Finesse, and Mrs. Humby, as Zanette, particularly distin-
guished themselves. After which, Planch^'s Historical Drama of
Chan'es the Twelfth was performed, for the first time at this house ;
the three principal characters, The King, Mam Brock, and Major
Vanherg, being acted by their original representatives, viz. Farreu,
Liston, and Cooper ; and never did they sustain their respective parts
with greater effect. Indeed, highly as we have always estimated the
talent displayed by Farren and Liston in this drama, yet, last night,
by our approximation te these great actors, from the smallness of the
Theatre ia comparison to Drury Lane, we discovered fresh beauties
in a performance which we had before believed perfect. Farren, by
the careful study he has given to the historical characteristics, man-
ners, and costume of Charles, has absolutely individualised himself
with that eccentric Monarch ; while Liston, though only representing
an ideal character, seems to be equally a living portrait. Their act-
ing called forth unbounded applause, particularly their first interview,
where nothing could be more finely contrasted, than the joviality and
bonhomie of Adam, with the military sternness and precision of
Charles. Cooper's J)Jajor Vanherg was a praise-worthy performance
THE THEATRICAL OBSERVER,

remarkably wftM Ssf Ulricaf find per fottaed ^efy pleasingly. Mrs. Hum-
by acted Eudiga, with great huftiour ; the scene where she enacted
Charles, and imitated his bluff manner^ and peculiar laugh, she was
highly successful, and excited great laughter and applause. But with
an onr sidnriration 6f Mrs. Hamby^ we must ewfi that we tDt^sed etr
favorite Miss Loi^e, whose riched toned voice still rings in our ears,
and whose execution of Barnett's 'Rise gentle Moon/ was in itself
quite a treat. This Drama Was on tlie wbold so admirably acted, that
it bids fair to be as attractive here, as it was at the winter Theatre.
Sweethearts and Wives closed the evening's entertainments in a very
satisfactory manner. The house was exceedingly well attended.

htio of the piece.

The new Opera of The Robber's Bride, was performed at this house
last night, atd seems to improve on repetition ; the music is of that
description which requires to be heard more than once to fully appre-
ciate its peculiar beauties. The phalanx of talent employed in this
Opera, must, we should think, insure it a long run. After The Rob'
ler's Bride, Lying made Easy was acted, followed by the musical en-
tertainment of Paul and Virginia ; Mrs Keeley and Madame Cellini,
sustaining for the first time the characters of Paw/ and Virginia. Mrs
Keeley*s acting was marked, as every thing is which that clever actress
does, by a fidelity to nature, and a buoyancy of spirit, which never
fails to win the good will of her audience ; and her singing was very
pleasing. Madame Cellini was not emicently successful as Virginia ;
there was too evident a want of feeling in her performance ; she how-
ever sang with taste, though the music did not allow her to display
much science, Mr. G, Penson acted Dominique excellently, and was
encored in his song. — The house was quite full at half-price.
