Theatrical Intelligence Revival at Covent Garden
The Spanish fashioned comedy Master Master was revived at the Theatre in Covent Garden. Woodward as the servant displayed strong comic powers and Lewis appeared easy and spirited. Miss Leefor made her first appearance, proving commendable dramatic talent that may aid the stage. The play drew a warm reception despite coarse language and a loosely driven plot.
