Giovanni in London; or, The Libertine Reclaimed

On Saturday night was performed the drama of the " Dog of Montargis; or, the Forest of Bondi." It having been frequently performed, the plot is so well known as to require no repetition at our hands. The piece went off much as usual, that is to say, successfully; but we observed a deficiency in study of both Messrs. Lee and Spencer, which was to us a matter of surprise, considering on how many occasions they have enacted the same characters. ln the concluding sentence before the fall of the curtain, at the end of the first act, Mr. Spencer had to give the cue to Mr. Lee three times, thereby spoiling the effect. To the drama succeeded a Naval Hornpipe by Mr. Fitzgerald, which was well performed. The extravaganza of " Giovanni in London; or, the Libertino Reclaimed " concluded the evening's amusements; on this occasion, Mrs. Taylor sustained the character of the Don for the twenty-third time at that theatre, and with continued success ; she had the good sense to keep her visible muscles within due bounds upon this occasion, not with standing the attempts of the whiskered monkeys in the lower boxes to annoy her, Mr. Buckingham again improved in the character of Leporello, and was remarkably successful in the songs, one of which was encored. We were glad to observe that Miss Winstanley had taken our hint respecting the child, she played the character of Mrs. Leporello very well. The house was very thin upon the rise of the curtain, but filled up well at half price.
