The Fitzroy, we are glad to see, is turning the
strength of its com- pany in comic actors to good account. They have got up a version of Comsat's comedy S'he Main! and She Would A'ot, under the title of The Female Cavaliers ; who are personated by Miss .M.ssoN and Miss CHAPLIN. Miss MssoN gives the dialogue in a natural and lively manner, and acts with much cleverness and spirit. She is a very intel- ligent actress, and does whatever she has to do with propriety and dis- cretion. Miss CHAPLIN should moderate her voice. She lets it off like a pocket-pistol ; and it startles as the report of Nell Gwynne's silver popper 'nigh t have done.
In a farce called The Irandering Minstrel, IA Trivia:Li, personates a street musician to the life. He looks just come in from the street, after a morning's round : face, clothes, manner, voice—are all complete. Miss Cols'. as Ltwider, the Wandering Minstrel, looks and sings ex- tremely well. A pleasant burlesque of the story of Plneton, in the style of Vsserals's'anythological burlettas, called the Son if the Sun, has been brought out here also, with deserved success. It is written with point and smartness, by the editor of Fiyaro; and contains some capital puns and allusions. It is got up very tastefully, too ; and the effect is lively and and agreeable. Miss Close sustains her part of the music with correctness, and acts with more spirit and animation than usual.
The Fitzroy is getting up a burlesque on the Revolt if the Harem, to be called the Reeds (f the Workhouse.
