At the Lyceum, a trifling but not inelegant piece has

been produced, un- der the title of Anything for a Change. The principal character is one of those fidgetty persons who have an uneasy desire for everything that does not belong to them, and feel perfect indifference as to everything they actu- ally Possess. The whole object of the piece is to set forth this peculiarity, and develop it through the course of a ticklish love-affair; and, as might be expected, the character is not a little overdrawn. Whenever an author sets about the task of giving a personal form to some unmixed quality, he IS quite certain to pass the bounds of the natural. However, the piece is ingeniously constructed, nicely written, and well suited to Mr. C. Mathews.
