Review Of Literature, The Drama, &C.
The VICTORIA has done nothing but badly imitate what has been done by others . The QUEEN ' THEATRE , under the nominal management of Mrs . NBSBITT , flourishes . A arious novelties have been produced , ancl though the company is not quite first-rate , have succeeded : thus , the conclusion is , that more depended upon the intrinsic value of the piece than
upon the actors , who in some instances may have misrepresented it . The company of the STRAND THEATRE have played their last drama before the magistrates at Bow-street : summoned upon an information of playing without a licence , three of them have been fined , and the house closed . There are , however , we understand , hopes of mollifying the Lord Chamberlain . Certainl y there was no theatre where a better hour ' s amusement miht be obtained than at theeprohibited Strand !
g , Brother Rayner , whose misfortunes have arisen from disappointments attending his -connexion with the ill-fated Strand Theatre , will take a benefit at the Surrey in April . The severe affliction of his wife , will prove an additional claim upon the sympathy and support of the Masonic fraternity .
At e woulcl conclude our theatrical remarks by offering a tribute of gratitude to Jerrold , for endeavouring to arrest the decadence of the drama , but find that , to act fairl y by him , woulcl be to devote an article exclusivel y to the subject , ivhich just now is impossible . Mr . Jerrold will believe us when we state , that the Hazard ofthe Die , if it has not proved a luck y throw for Drury-lane , is owing to the caprice of the manager , who interrupted its success , for purposes best known to
himself . The plot was excellent—the soul-stirring interest was most intense—and the performers generally , but Mr . Wallack in particular , did the author that justice which marked their full conception ofhis spirit . The School Fellows at the Queen ' s , and Hearts and Diamonds at the Olympic ( both by Mr . J . ) , are mentioned not merely as being successfully performed , but because each in its way deserves unmixed commendation . AA e do not hesitate to affirm that the School Fellows at either of the larger houses ivould have assisted the treasury .
The Nosegay.
THE NOSEGAY .
I SEND to my Elizabeth a nosegay fresh and fair , Of Nature ' s artless flowrets formed : the modest daisy there—The wild-thyme with its pleasant scent—the wall-flower in its glow , Entwines with the sweet-brier sprigs and heather of the snow ¦ And oh , when placed upon that breast , how will they image thee ! Breathing the soul of every charm—divine simplicity ! NORVAL .
