OBSERVER No. XXIII.
Mr. Fenxq,
It has been said of the works of fomc
authors, that after the fiftieth reading
they are SS fieth at ever. Tlie writings
of Shaktfpeare will continue to please
y.s long as taste or genius ihnll exilt.—
The public are always pleased with a
gi-od repiefentation of the Merchant of
Venice, tho' pet haps not one of Shake
fpeare'* play? has been tnorc frequently
repeated. The lufhe of this immortal
man is often obicured thro' the incom
petency of those \v>lio attempt his cha- ,
rafters—but, the lad evening, he had ,
, i:s much justice done him, in many |
trts of the above juitly admired come- [
: ,as was perhaps ever witnefled on an - c
• merican theatre. j
Mr. Chalmers in Shylock, was great
—.he molt deservedly received the full- t
'one 1 plaudits of the house thro' the t
.hi e play—there W3S no faultering on c
as art—and no diminution of theap- {
use which was excited at his firft ap- f
carance—what a Jew !
'' r • IVhitlock, Mr. Moreton, and Mr. p
.iJ. • 'hall, filled their several parts with J
cue,-j and propriety j and Mr. Bates, , r
