THE NATIW,LUJ 11.EMSTElt._ tween Miss O'Neili's pet formances are filled up by those of!. Mr. Kemble and Mies Stephens at. Covent garden, the nights not illumined by Mr. Kean's genius at Drury-lane, will unw be rendered attractive by the abilities of Brabant, Mrs. Dick ons, and Phillips. Thus the e will he no blanks whatever in our theatrical lottery this winter. In pursuance of this plan, Mrs. Dictums and Phillips made their fit st appearance this Seacon on W ednesdav in the opeca of I,iont and Cla:•issi. Both it di played with gi eat effect ,the melody of their voices, the II brilliancy of their execution , a n t i the purity of their taste. I (her most of our best singes Mr. Phillips possesses a decided advatite. Ile (refs as meil as sin g s well. His jntigment extends beyoed the mere modulatinn of notes : his keling is not c;mtined to the perception of &colds iu erder to avoid their. Ile enters with spirit int* the charxter which he re- ' presents. Ilia cc-neer - ion is just, his enunciation clear nod forcible, his emphasis well placed, his countenance and his resit tires ex pres-ive. in fact, Weir he unexpectedly tn lose his melodious nove:s, he would still 'main a valuable ac onisition to 'he stage in the first psi is et - genteel comedy and Irv( nin characters a still mole elevatci description. This was evichn! in his pe:foi niance of L u,lr 1, in which some of his : , .rechelwere Five 1 wifb touch streneth and 1 , elin n g as to tir:,w down nearly a , . attich ai.phiu-e as his , ongs. now ton was ex, edent in Cutenci sod Mi,s Kelly. in disnla‘ ea all her wonted a:chnes , and spirit. De Camp. who‘e ( tri f fault in f ! ,shint , :ible f:lttlts i 3 to'o'en.tep even the mochsty of ridicule, was more cin:tte than tnnid in Jessurim; aed ~uppor!ed by the able exertioes of at! the ref l ot titers , Ibi s oral proved ctie of the most pleasing trea•s that lr.e been produced this season. 01, Thursday, Mr. Kean once more appeared as the rp presentative of ilanitti. We have alre4v advistd Lim tic.( to selet t charat tsrs which only seise to give p i : A - I -licence to his defects, and to shade his beanties, and Hamlet is atnorg.,t the number. It is not sufficient, either for the Danish Prince or Mr. Kean's reputation, to be merely respectable, and in this pact he certainly does not lay claim to any higher prai e. To avoid all the points, which in the hands of other actors, produce an electrical effect, may be origi nality, but not wisdom. To. tiansform the philnsophical dignity of Thinda's character, and the nobleness of his re 'venge into the fury of Richard (as in the picture scene whit his mother), may gain the applause of the incotn,ider.te, but wounds the judgment of the friend to propriety and nature. In a \void, Mr. bean's performance of Madei has top much of Gloucester in it, The very walk and deport ;rent, are hequently retained, although tradition has never even hinted that the Danish Prince was affected with the in cumbrances of the English tyrant. In Shvlock, last nigi t, Mr. Kean completely redeemed his faros. In such characters he is always sure to shine with superior light. if his lustre is ever dimmed, it must be there fore through the imprudence of his choice. Would a man who wishes to he admired for his splendour, put on a silver robe, when he has diamond suits in his possession ? MIDDLESEX SESSIONS'. OCT. SO. SVIT111).- 1 .1": OCT.
