The Theatres, &C.
THE THEATRES , & c .
Strand . — The successes that have attended Mr . Edward Compton ' s previous visits to London induced him to renew his acquaintance with London playgoers ; this he most successfully did on Monday , in a Comedy in three acta entitled " Garrick , " a version—by Mr . W . Muskeny—of tbe incident related by a French dramatic author . The strongest scene in Mr . Muskerry ' s version is the
second ; in it the great actor simulates drunkenness , and otherwise misbehaves himself , in order to care Violet Gresham of a longing for the theatre . This result is brought about at the instigation of the lady ' g father , who has a great dislike to the stage and its surronudings . Not until after Garrick has made the compact with the father does he find out that Gresham ' s daughter is the unknown being ¦
whose face has haunted him in his dreams . In order to secure the happiness , as he thinks , of Violet , he almost wrecks his own , but through a cousin of Violet , she learns the ruse that has been practised on her , and in the end Gresham gives his consent for Garrick to marry Violet . TJufortunately , the sincerity and earnestness of manner which was such an excellent feature of Mr . Compton ' s efforts
on Monday led us to believe that Garrick was fitted just as well for the church as for the stage . Dignified in the passages in which the player makes the rash promise to Gresham , Mr . Compton portrayed the drunken scene with much force , relieved by fantastic tricks not at all unfamiliar to the situation . They are not absurd , neither do they violate good taste . The scene is certainly a trifle long , but Mr . Compton ' s business strikes us as being new , and some of it is
decidedl y funny . Throughout tho role of Garrick is suited to Mr . Compton ' s abilities , and so engrossed does he become in his enactment , that he scores an undoubted success . Miss Virginia Bateman ( Mrs . Edward Compton ) played tbe part of Violet Gresham with much tender feeling ; she was most successful in tbe first act , where she cunningl y questions her cousin—TomTallyhaut—about the great Garrick . Mr . Lewis Ball , a veteran actor , undertakes the part of
The Theatres, &C.
old Gresham with credit ; while Mr . Sydney Valentine , as the drunken cousin , Tom Tallyhant , shows promise as a quietl y humorous oomedian . Mr . Charles Dodsworth received a good amount of acknowledgment as tho morose Sowerberry , while Mr . Sydney Paxton aud Mr . Percy F . Marshall made the most of the small parts
of Rumbelow andSimpkina respectively . The Mrs . Itnmbelow of Mis 3 Elinor Aickin , and tho Selina Sowerberry of Miss Alice Burton both deserve a special word of praise . Mr . and Mrs . Compton were heartily complimented at the conclusion of the piece , as also was the author , Mr . Muskorry .
