It is quite of an Old Bailey character. Ellen marries Creswell, never having loved him. He, not aware of this most important matrimonial fact, is under the necessity of going abroad, and being apprehended as a spy, is imprisoned for years in an Austrian dungeon, from which he at length escapes by a stratagem, the consequence of which is to lead his wife and her friends to believe him dead. Nearly two years after Creswell was supposed to have been quietly inurned, Ellen marries one (Hamilton) to whom her whole heart and soul are devoted. Not many months after, the first husband returns -hears she is again married—has an interview with her, in the course of which she explains the circumstances which led lo her second marriage, but admits that she never loved him. Doating fondness on his part gives way to desperate passion and thirst of revenge, and he causes her to be indicted for bigamy, of which she is found guilty. [The jury must have been a strange set, seeing that the first husband had studiously circulated a report of his own death, and there was no proof that his wife participated in the secret!] The sympathy of the Judge, however, is excited, and Ellen is merely "fined and discharged." Creswell having thus rendered himself the mark of universal odium, at length repents; but weary of life, swallows poison —sends for his wife and children, blesses them in his dying moments; and having obtained the forgiveness of Ellen, bestows her, with his own hand, upon Hamilton-the second husband, and real object of her affections, and expires. Now these incidents are strained and unnatural-yet they give rise to several affecting scenes. The weight of the piece rested on Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Lazar. Mr. L. manifested a very accurate conception of the part allotted to him, though we could point out many objections to his reading and pronunciation ; but as not one of the company-male or female-is unamenable to similar censure, why should we particularise him? Mrs Taylor appeared to please the audience, and therefore, the odds are against our opinion that she cannot pourtray deep feeling. The scenes of which she endeavours to make the most excite a sense of the ridiculous-the convulsive catching of the breath, and extravagant contortions of the head and frame (as if pulled about by a wire), are complete antidotes to sympathy. Mrs. Taylor's line is, in our opinion, quiet comedy of the higher class, or the parts of pert, intriguing, singing chambermaids. Spencer, though he is entitled to the praise of general correctness, was either out of place or out of spirits on this occasion. The incidents in which he is supposed to be a participator, would, we should think, have roused the passions of an anchorite-yet Spencer was cold as monumental marble. The rest of the characters require no particular notice, with the exception of that sustained by Miss Winstanley, who, upon this and several other occasions lately, has shewn a capability to become the very best actress on the Sydney stage, in that line of character which she generally assumes. At the conclusion of the first piece Miss Lazar danced, as usual, very prettily. Then there was some tightrope foolery ; and lastly, the farce called The Young Reeler, of which Miss Lazar, though a very clever child, is too young to play the hero not even a shadow of illusion is preserved owing to this circumstance.

Howe, Sydney, NSW., National Library of Australia, XXXIV, 2878, 29 October 1836, 2 There is no doubt that the chief thing to make a good actor, is genius. It must be remembered, that a performer is not merely an orator ; he must do something more than declaim ; he must represent a certain character, and that justly. Genius is the perfection of the human understanding, au union of the collected powers of the mind, imagination, sensibility, penetration, and judgment, directed to the same point of excellence, with a happy facility of attaining truth. The genius of acting consists in a fine and ready imagination, an acuteness of observation, and a correct judgment, working on the sure principle of an ardent love for the drama, joined to the love of fame. Happy natural talents are necessary to make an actor ; labour and study may do a great deal, but it will after all be a tedious journey to find dramatic excellence. The player who is not rich in talents may indeed labour to amass wealth of the understanding ; but he will be but a mere labourer after all, and will rarely ever find stock in trade enough for a master, in the art. The art of acting, requires such happy resemblances of nature, that the copies may not be known from the original. Thus the performer who has true genius assimilates himself without difficulty, to the character, he has to represent. The more nature assists him the better; and it is only when she refuses, that he must borrow from Art her best likeness, and yet how few possess the fascinating gaite de cœur, of genteel comedy, the grandeur of mind and manners necessary to tragedy, or the happy humour that constitutes farce. On Thursday evening The Wonder was played for the third time at the Sydney Theatre. Mrs. Cameron made her second appearance on the Sydney Boards as Donna Violante. This lady's style of acting in genteel comedy is peculiarly her own; ease and grace in every motion, combined with a certain embodying of herself with the character, which is the very essence of genuine performers. We say without hesitation that Mrs. C. has stamped herself as the leading actress of the Sydney stage. Mrs. Taylor is the only performer we have, who can feel offended at these remarks, but when she remembers that to Mrs. Cameron is she alone indebted for her theatrical success, that it was under the tuition of this lady, at Hobart Town, she made her first appearance on any stage, playing a second character, to Mrs. C.'s Mrs. Haller in the Stranger, it is not to be expected she could with but little instruction, reach to the theatrical celebrity of an acknowledged clever actress. She must therefore however unwilling see the justice of our remarks. Don Felix by Mr. Cameron, was very respectably performed; if that gentleman could divest himself of a certain solemnity of style, and play genteel comedy, in a smarter manner, it would be more pleasing; he must get rid, too, of a particular fashion he has of pointing his hands together: this is too stiff for comedy. Mr. Buckingham's Don Pedro was natural ; Mr. Lane's Don Lopez, was both lame and tame ; Mr. Peat got through Don Frederick, but he should have an eye to his unruly legs, which appear to have much pleasure in crossing each other, every stride he takes; Mr. Lees, Gibby, was very passable, considering he is totally unacquainted with the Highland tongue ; Lissardo, by Mr. Simes, was a good representation of a fop; of a serving man Miss Winstanly's, Isabella, was a fascinating and true impersonation, this young lady becomes a more general favourite in comedy every time she appears. Mrs. Jone's Flora was a lively character, to which she did full justice. By the by, we had nearly omitted to mention Mr. Gordon's Col. Britton. This gentleman is too unwieldly built for genteel comedy, he resembles a young elephant, in his motions, and at the fifth act, he broke down forgetting every syllable of the dialogue which materially inconvenienced the leading performers; Mr. Knowles ought to fine him at the least one week's salary, if he does not, it will be an injustice to the public, as the promptor could be heard all over the house. Master S. Jones recited between the pieces, the famous speech from Henry V.' Who wants more men from England, My cousin Westmoreland ! no my fair cousin." And got through it well, accompanied by appropriate action and gesture. Mr. Fitzgerald followed with an hornpipe, we thought of Mackay but comparisons are odious; the afterpiece was the laughable farce of the Two Gregories, to which full justice, was done by the performers.

In New South Wales and Elsewhere. No. LX., Sydney Sportsman, 6 July 1904, 3 To be chronologically correct, it must be mentioned that the opening of the Victoria Theatre was the death warrant of the Theatre Royal. Barnet Levey died before the 'Vic'' was completed, and his widow kept the Royal open for a while, but the theatre suddenly closed on March 22, four days before Joe Wyatt opened his new venture. The Royal remained closed until the big fire removed it in March 1840. The fire originated in a stable on the adjoining premises, belonging to a Mr. Blanch, a mathematical instrument maker. The officers of a regiment then in Sydney, who had been attending a ball, hurried to the fire and assisted to remove goods, etc. In the early forties an Italian opened a canvas show in Hunter-street, and subsequently erecting a stage and scenery, named the concern the Olympic, and commenced in opposition to Wyatt. He got together a good company, but after a time the canvas theatre collapsed. About the time that Levey opened the Royal in George-street, a theatre was opened in Launceston, and, we read that Mr. Cameron took a company from that town to Hobart Town and opened in "The Stranger." The first theatre named in the northern capital of Tasmania was the Royal Olympic, which formed part of the London Tavern, as did the Royal in George-street, Sydney. Amateur theatricals were popular in those days, chiefly amongst the military, and amongst these military amateurs was our own George Herbert Rogers. There exists a playbill in Launceston of a performance of "Charles II, or the Merry Monarch," given by the men of the 96th Regiment. In 1845 Mr. George Coppin leased the Olympic, and kept it open for a number of years. In 1850 the Lyceum Theatre, in Cameron-street, was opened under the management of Mr. James Melville. The Cornwall Rooms and the Royal Clarence theatre were opened in the same year. At the Rooms Miss Catherine Hayes appeared, the charges being 21s, 10s 6d, and 5s. The Theatre Royal was opened in 1857 it stood where the Empire now stands, and on its stage many Thespians of note appeared. ln 1863 the Lyster Opera Troupe appeared at the Royal. The Royal was closed in 1878. In Southern Tasmania, Hobart now has one theatre, and that an old one. The De Graves family had something to do with its erection. One of its early managers was Robert Osborne. Later on J. W. Watson and John Davies held the reins. In the early days, at the Freemasons Hotel, in Harrington-street, was a theatre owned or leased by Mr. and Mrs. Clarke. There the soldiers from the barracks congregated, and the townspeople also patronised the show. Tommy Atkins was not then excluded from the theatre. Later on the Tasmanian Hall across the street was devoted to the drama. Mr. Delsarte had some connection with this establishment. Then there was the Hobart Hall in the same street. Next there was the Royal Albert Theatre, chiefly supported by seafaring men. This latter has been transformed into an hotel and is known as the Carlton. Circuses flourished, too, in those early days. Of the old actors in those old Tasmanian theatres one still lives in Sydney, at about 90 years of age— Mr. James Hasker. Amongst the members of the theatrical profession mentioned in these bygone annals, none occupied a larger space in public affection than GEORGE HERBERT ROGERS, with whose death the Australian stage lost one of its best and brightest ornaments. But very few of his stamp have appeared upon the colonial stage. In London he would have ranked with the elder Farren, who is said yet to have left no successor, and he died in 1861. Mr Rogers was the son of a physician, whose widow married Major Elsey, of the Bank of England. His family was connected with that of Joseph Rogers, whose name appears frequently in volumes of Poetry chiefly of a religious character, and also with the Poet Herbert Rogers, from whom he took his second name. As brothers he had Professor Henry Rogers and John Rogers, and as half-brother Dr. Elsey, of the Port Essington expedition. An unfortunate family squabble drove Rogers when a young man from home, and in a wild moment he entered as a private soldier in the 51st Regiment at Chatham. Before his friends could take steps to purchase his discharge, or effect a reconciliation the, 51st was ordered to Van Diemans Land, and Mr. Rogers went with his company. Though repeatedly invited to return home, Sergeant Rogers as he had become, steadily refused; he had not forgotten, and I believe never did forget, the domestic trouble that drove him from home, and from the probabilities of a distinct position in the best circles of England. In connection with private theatricals at Hobart Town Rogers showed marked ability, even among the professionals with whom he sometimes appeared. The Colonel of the regiment, a patron of the drama, gave Mr. Rogers every latitude, and the lady lessee of the theatre attached to the Freemasons' Hotel, in Harrington-street, Mrs. Clarke, was eager on all occasions to obtain his services. The Colonel was a frequent visitor behind the scenes, and the fair lessee worked her point very adroitly. Though enlisted for 21 years, the term of the service, and though unwilling that the regiment should lose the services of such a steady man as Sergeant Rogers, the Colonel admitted that there was nothing in the regulations to prevent Sergeant - Rogers buying himself out of the army, provided that he (the Colonel) saw no objection. With such a fair pleader the Colonel was brought to see no objection, and Sergeant Rogers became Mr. Rogers, of the Theatre Royal, Hobart Town. I believe the fair lessee found the sovereigns with which to make the novel purchase, but as Mr. Rogers the actor was as great a favourite as was Sergeant Rogers the soldier, the indebtedness was soon wiped out. In a particular range of old men Mr. Rogers had no compeer in Australia. Mr. J. C. Lambert has been frequently brought into comparison, but, though frequently playing the same characters, no comparison could be made; both excelled, because both gave distinct and widely different readings. In such characters as Sir Anthony Absolute, Mr. Rogers led, while as Sir Peter Teazle, Lambert's rendering was the more refined, the more courtly; yet when you saw Rogers as Sir Peter, you were forced to inquire whether Sheridan meant the baronet to be courtly or ''country," for that is how I distinguish between the pair. Sir Anthony suited Rogers eminently; the choleric old baronet was personified to the life. I remember on one occasion, in the middle of a scene, where Sir Anthony leaves, having "disowned" his son, the Captain, the enthusiasm of the audience rose to such a pitch that the actor was compelled to return and bow his acknowledgments. In such parts as Mr Hardcastle ("She Stoops to Conquer") Grandfather Whitehead, Lord Duberly, Lord Ogelby, and old men in domestic drama and high comedy, his sway with the audience was unbounded. In his acting he was sympathetic to a degree. I recollect, at the Melbourne Theatre Royal, when Lady Don reappeared in the "Daughter of the Regiment," how sympathetic the house was, the sympathy being induced by one little touch of nature on the part of Mr. Rogers, the touch that makes us all kin. Lady Don had left her husband, Sir William, in a Hobart Town grave. It was her first appearance, I think, since his death; certainly it was her first in Melbourne since the sad event. Rogers was the old sergeant of the play. When Lady Don came to the front she completely broke down, and, falling on the shoulders of "old Rogers," she sobbed aloud. It was no stage trick, but the genuine outburst of a heart that had sustained an irreparable loss. The old sergeant took her to his arms, and gently patting her on the shoulder whispered words of condolence. The audience silently awaited the recovery of the lady, and when she was able to speak her first lines, Lady Don had no reason to be other than satisfied with her reception. She was still remembered, and her dead husband had not been forgotten. Coming to Mr. Rogers' professional career, Mr G. V. Brooke expressed the opinion that he equalled William Farren; and Charles Mathews, when in Australia, expressed his wonder that Rogers had never tried the British stage, as he was sure that he would have been successful. Charles Mathews offered, if Mr. Rogers would go to London, to ensure him an engagement, but Rogers was too deeply rooted in the affections of Australian playgoers to take the trip— not that he had any reason to believe that he would be a failure. Mr. Rogers married a sister of the late Charles Young, comedian (see "Sportsman," 22/6/'04), and left a family of six, three sons and three daughters. Two of the latter adopted their father's profession. One of the sons is Mr. Horace Rogers, reporter, of the "Sydney Morning Herald." Mr. G. H. Rogers died at Melbourne on February 13, 1872, the cause of death being the bursting of a blood vessel, his age being given as 53 years. The genial actor, good citizen and staunch friend, was buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery, in close proximity to a number of players who had "gone before"— Ellen Mortyn, Marie St. Denis, Mrs. Vickery, Hattie Shephard, and many others. On his tombstone are inscribed the lines by Longmore: — "There is no death; what seems so is transition. This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of the life Elysian, Whose portal we call death." Referring to Mr. Joseph Wyatt, who built the Victoria Theatre in 1838, I have described him as a leather merchant and ironmonger having his place of business next to the School of Arts in Pitt Street I find that Mr. Joseph Wyatt was a draper carrying on business in the early thirties (and before) at "16 Lower Pitt street," at No. 15 being his brother William, carrying on as a boot and shoemaker or dealer. The number then stood to the north of the School of Arts of today. In 1844 Mr. William Knight was the leasee of the Victoria Theatre, while Mr Joseph Wyatt occupied the Victoria Hotel, attached. On the southern side Mr A. J. Levy kept the Garrick's Head, and on the northern a few feet away, Mr. William Dind, of very healthy memory in connection with theatricals, kept the Star and Garter. On the corner of King-street was the Black Boy Inn afterwards known as the Liverpool Arms and, when kept by Ben Palmer and J B Moore, a house of call for theatrical people. Nearly opposite the Victoria Theatre a little to the north perhaps, was the Clown Inn, kept by no less a personage than George Coppin, then 25 years of age, now with 60 added on, and still hale and hearty and talking of spending £20,000 on alterations end improvements to the Theatre Royal, Melbourne. This Clown Inn was one of Mr. Coppin's unfortunate speculations. He did not, however, risk his all there, but quickly went to Launceston, as seen above, where he showed that he knew more about drawing audiences than he did about drawing beer. I believe the old gentleman, if he once more appeared in the "Spider Dance," or as Jem Baggs in the "Wandering Minstrel," would draw again. With the exception that Mr. Coppin was succeeded in the Clown Inn by Mr. Geo. Skinner, who in the same year removed himself and the name to a house at the corner of Hunter and George streets; that Mr. William Knight had become a landholder; and that John Gordon Griffiths, whose private residence was in Bligh street, had succeeded him as lessee of the theatre, the occupants of 1844 held their positions for some years after. In those days publicans and innkeepers were not "rolling stones." In 1843 Mr. Joseph Simmons, restless when unoccupied, opened the City Theatre in Market-street, where now stands an hotel, two doors from George-street. I am not sure that it is not the actual building with a new front. Associated with Simmons in this venture was a Mr. Bellmore, of whom little is known. The theatre was opened on May 20, Nesbitt M'Cron delivering a prize address. There were three pieces staged, "The Balance of Comfort," "The Painter of Ghent," and "Magnetic Influence." The company included Knowles, Fenton, Belfield, Meredith, Phillips, Madame Goutrot, Senora Ximenes, Mrs. Wallace, and three "Misses" Jones, Taylor, and Thompson. The population was not large enough to support two playhouses, and the smaller went to the wall. For a time the "City" became an auction mart, but in the early seventies Mr. Michael Hegarty, hailing from Melbourne, came along, secured the premises, and opened them as a cafe, the attraction being the waitresses in fancy bloomer costumes. I believe the venture did pay, as Mr. Hegarty enlarged his sphere of operations and removed to the old Adelphi, in York-street, of which more anon. Of the company performing under Mr. Simmons, one is remembered well in Sydney by the old generation — Mr. P. Belfield, better known by the sobriquet of "Paddy Belfield", though his name was Peter. Mr. Belfield was a tailor by trade, to which he reverted when he left the stage, or the stage left him. My last recollection of Mr. Belfield as an actor was when he played the King in "Hamlet" to Barry Sullivan at the old Royal, in Melbourne, when Sullivan was playing his first engagement in 1862. Truth compels me to say that I had never seen the King so played, before or since. I believe, like dear old "Paddy," Gardner, Mr. Belfield at one time appeared in Irish characters, and I am of opinion that he could play such. In the early seventies Mr. Belfield was in business as a tailor, in partnership with his son Francis, in the now Oxford-street, near the old Robin Hood Inn, between Brisbane and Edward streets. While there he conceived the idea that the Surry Hills and Woolloomooloo should be able to support a theatre of their own, and that that theatre should be "agin his own door." Negotiations were opened up with Mr. Sydney Burdekin, who granted a lease of certain vacant land in Liverpool-street, with a right of entrance from Oxford-street. The site was about midway between the old-time Blind Beggar public-house— now Andy Flanagan's — and the lane leading down to Yurong-street. The shares were £1 each, payable, I think, in shilling subscriptions. The walls got up some feet when the funds ran short, and the scheme collapsed. Sydney Burdekin seized the bricks and built a neat row of cottages on the site. Mr. Belfield subsequently started business in George-street, Brickfield Hill. "One morn I missed him on the accustomed hill," and found that he had become the lessee of the Victoria Hotel, attached to the Victoria Theatre, in Pitt-street. That was in 1878. He played the part of host for a few years, and returned to his trade, this time in Liverpool-street, a few doors from George-street, and here he made his "last stand." In 1889 he was gathered to his fathers, after an extended colonial career, varied by many ups and downs. All said and done, there were many worse men than the old Thespian, "Paddy" Belfield.

Seated about 900.Closed September 1838. Destroyed by fire 17-18 March 1840. The first continuously licensed permanent theatre Australia, the Theatre Royal was the brainchild of Barnet Levey, an amateur singer of comic songs. In April 1826 he began a building spree on the eastern side of George Street between King and Market Streets. The first structure was to be the Colchester Warehouse, which would include a two-tier theatre, with one floor of grain storage beneath it and two above. During 1827 Levey was preoccupied with building a windmill atop the warehouse and commencing a new building between the warehouse and George Street. This building, which was attached to the warehouse, was at first noted as being a dwelling, purportedly designed by the architect Francis Greenway. By mid-1828 the 'dwelling house' was being roofed and the theatre was being prepared. It then emerged that Levey did not possess title to the land on which the warehouse was built. Part of the 'dwelling house' was opened as the Royal Hotel in March 1829 and Levey obtained a licence to hold balls, dances and concerts at the hotel, but he appears to have transferred the concerts to the theatre in the warehouse, which was first used on 24 August 1829. Then he went further and performed dramatic sketches at an 'at-home'. This riled Governor Ralph Darling and he further restricted Levey's licence for balls and concerts when it was renewed on 1 January 1830. Unable to use the theatre for theatrical performances, Levey advertised the concerts that he held there as being in the Royal Assembly Rooms. On 18 December 1830 the hotel and warehouse, including the theatre, were sold by order of the mortgagee. The purchaser transferred the title to the former mortgagee, Daniel Cooper. He employed John Verge, architect and builder, to refit the theatre and enlarge it by adding a third tier in place of a storage floor above. The hotel in front was to be completed and include an 'orchestra surmounted by the royal arms' in the saloon, for concerts. George Sippe, the new licensee, reopened the hotel in September 1831. Levey leased the theatre and the saloon of the hotel and obtained a licence under a new governor to hold at-homes, including theatrical sketches, in the saloon until work on the theatre was completed. Newspaper reports of the time are confusing as to whether Levey held his at-homes in the saloon or the theatre, but it is clear that the saloon was fitted up with a 'tasty stage' and 'a tier of boxes' for a performance of Douglas Jerrold's Black-Eyed Susan on 26 December 1832. Regular performances were given in this temporary abode until the beginning of June 1833. Finally the new three-tier theatre within the warehouse was completed. It opened on 5 October 1833 with a melodrama, The Miller and His Men, followed by a farce, The Irishman in London. With the exception of an additional tier of audience accommodation, in dimensions and style the theatre was similar to the Georgian Theatre at Richmond in Yorkshire - two tiers of narrow boxes, the lower at the level of the stage, and one tier of gallery, including side slips over the boxes. These, together with the stage, were arranged in a rectangle enclosing a raked pit. The pit and the three tiers above it were contained within a height of 8.8 metres. The theatre was 26 metres long, including the stage, and about 9.7 metres wide. The space for each person at that time was about half today's allowance, so the capacity would have been about 900 persons. Management fluctuated between Levey and Joseph Simmons until June 1836, when Conrad Knowles took control as actor-manager until early February 1837. There were consistent complaints of imperfect preparation of plays even after Levey reopened in April 1837. Thomas Simes became manager in May. Levey died on 2 October 1837. His wife Sarah took over the management, with the stage under John Lazar's control, but closed the theatre without notice just before Joseph Wyatt opened the Royal Victoria Theatre on 26 March 1838. She continued to occupy the building, and its owner, Daniel Cooper, sued her in September 1838. He won an action for ejection, leaving him free to lease or sell the building to someone else. Wyatt bought all the buildings on 2 January 1839.

Howe, Sydney, NSW., National Library of Australia, XXXIV, 2770, 9 February 1836, 3 SYDNEY THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE [FROM A CORRESPONDENT] On Saturday evening last, Capt. Piper and many of his friends visited the Theatre. The "haut ton" mustered pretty strong in the Dress Circle. The performance commenced with the "Lear of Private Life." Mr. Simmons's personification of the fond, doting and ultimately maniac Father, was excellent, as well as Mrs. Taylor's exquisite performance of the tender dutiful confiding artless daughter, who relying on the promises of " Alvanley" consequently brings herself to ruin and goads her parent on to madness. in her departure from " Alvanley" and the scene which arises in the forest where she recognizes her father, her acting was truly effective; as was that of Mr. S. - Ample applause was the reward of their exertions. From the intense feeling she exhibits in this line of the drama, which may be termed the Tragedy of Domestic life, we should recommend to the manager's notice, Annetta, Victorine, The Sergeant's wife. Mrs. Jones was the Merriel and was a poor substitute for Miss Winstanley who originally played it here. It is a matter of regret to find that young lady absent from the establishment; for with all its dramatic strength, it requires more females- from the improvement she had lately shown and from her capital performance of Mrs. Tucker, Norna, and some other little characters she was rising in public favour. Grove's "Alvanley" may be rated as his best character, the other characters are all so trifling that the actors could not well acquit themselves better or worse than they did. A" Day after Wedding" closed the performance. There arose many ludicrous points about this little piece, that it cannot but excite laughter, and it did so abundantly, but did it give general satisfaction? We will pass over it in silence - it was wrong cast. Mrs Chester introduced three songs and was very happy in "Should he upbraid." It is impossible to observe the spirit which prevails on the Sydney Stage to produce horrible and terrific melo-dramas, instead of those fine, true, mirth inspiring and moral pictures which Mr. Centlives, Faraquhar, Morton, Reynolds, Colman, Sheridan have spread before us to make us ashamed of our follies but not of our species, We are now almost continually presented with odious and appalling dramas, which tho' calculated powerfully to disturb the wellspring of our emotions, have any thing but a pleasing or beneficial effect on the heart. Being profoundly impressed with a veneration for the drama and still more so for the moral lesson it ought to convey, we cannot behold with indifference our stage transformed into an exhibition of crimes which are beyond human imagination. The production of "Father and Son" last night causes these remarks, it being a tissue of improbabilities at the same time the heart shudders to behold a parent committing crimes, with the knowledge of his children, merely to cover his former sins and aggrandize his face. Instead of time being spent in such productions, something better might be substituted, which would tend to cultivate a correct and judicious taste for the drama. We do not advise the old plays indiscriminatingly, but a careful observer could select such as would suit the present stage. We understand Miss Winstanley's absence is caused by some disarrangement with the manager respecting her salary. This of course the public have nothing to do with. It is to be hoped however that her absence will not be long. Article: Sydney Theatrical Intelligence , The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, G.
