DRURY LANE THEATRE.
Nothing of any importance has been presented here since our last. The Maid of Cashmere continued to be performed till the parties engaged in it were dispersed. Mr. and Mrs. Wood, it seems, are preparing to depart for America. How the stage is to repair her loss we cannot guess. If we are to have only foreigners as first vocal women in our English theatres, her place may be filled certainly; but will the public long endure this? We believe they will, for they are grown apathetic.
The performers themselves, however, ought to be active; they should combine in their own defence, and open an English, a really English, theatre; the Lord Chamberlain would sanction them; and the town might be conciliated, if they would give good operas, demand moderate prices, and endeavour to keep offensive company of all kinds, not only women, but men, as much as possible out of the way.
