JONES.
At the end of the Second Act of the Comedy will be presented a New Ballet (for that night only) called KITTY and JEMMY, To which will be added a new Grand Dramatick Romance called BLUE BEARD.
CHARACTER AND GENIUS. 319 On January 28th, a Saturday, it was represented for the second time, having undergone much judicious pruning and alteration. ' Its present state is widely different from that of the first night's re- presentation. Sir Lucius, being retouched, has now the appearance of a cha...racter; and his assigning Beverley's reflection on his country as the ground for his desire to quarrel with him is a reasonable pretext, and wipes off the stigma before unde- servedly thrown on the sister kingdom. The author' says he was "misconceived," and that he had no intention of reflecting on his country; but such an impression was certainly left. One of the alterations is one of the most brilliant touches of the piece, an incident which " gave a very favour- able turn to the fable," viz., where young Acres now delivers his challenge to his friend Absolute, begging him to carry it to Beverley, not knowing the two characters composed but one ; its being first given to Sir Lucius, the person who indited it, was highly inconsistent/ To take back and recast a play would now be held a fatal proceeding, and the thoroughness and boldness of the measure does credit to the early adroitness of Sheridan.
