LUXFORD, Willis street, March 18, 1861. f LYCEUM THEATRE. THE CHABCOAL BURNER For the BENEFIT and LAST APPEARANCE but two of Miss Etta and Mr. J. H. Williams on the Wellington stage. First and only time by the present Company, the highly popular Historical Drama in 8 Acts by G. Almar, Esq., the Charcoal Burner Or the DROPPING WELL OF KNARESBORUQH. The London Times in its critique on this drama, j says: — " Mr. Almar, always good ! often great! has surpassed all former efforts. Indeed we question if any drama extant is so replete with natural character, so beautifully intermingled. We have | the sombre but magnificent heroic devotion of j Arden ; the pitiful grovelling of old Esdaile ; the great mental struggle of the devoted Edmund ; with the unctions racy humour of Mr. Valentine Verdict ; brought out in bold relief by the sanctimonious quaintness of Mr. Abel Cole ; so closely has the author kept to history in the events, that it may be called an historical crania : having a moral that we venture to pronounce as more likely to prove a check to crime than 50 ordinary sermons."
