The second scene carries us to the stage of the .-Little Theatre , where are seen the Sweeper and her daughter , a raw country . girl , preparing the stage for rehearsal ; a dialogue takes place , which rather hanrgs , aud contains an allusion to the tax on hair-powder , which has been long hackneyed in the papers , and was unworthy the pen that in trod need it here , A very pleasant scene succeeds between Mr . Waldron the Prompter , and Mr . Cauifield , in the character of Mr . Apeweli , a candidate for an engagement on the London boards . A very just compliment is paid to the memory of the
late-Mr . Parsons , which the audience felt in a manner that did them infinite honour . Mr . Cauifield introduces many admirable imitations . Young Bannister next comes on \ n propria persona . After some allusion to the difference of size between the Winter Theatres and this , the prompter delivers him a song for study , which he sings , and which intreats public favour for humour , sense , and acting , until , with their sublimer efforts , the ELEPHANTS and WHITE GULLS return FROM GRASS . This song , which concludes tlie piece , was deservedly encored . Mr . Colman has , in this . slight sketch , furnished a very pleasing little entertainment . The dialogue is neat and pointed , and there are confiscations of wit that excite the best applause of pleasurable feeling .
