MR. KEAN's oCTAVINN. 'We should have taken notice of Mr. bean's ()act,. ian, and . Aid Drugetr last week, hut were prevented by the press of interesting political intelligence. We shall now discharge that duty. The author of the Mountitineirs, when he wrote the character of Octa•cian, no doubt intended that Nlr. Kern ble should be the representative of the love-sick hero. Se veral passages in the play, which are very descriptive of that gentleman's • noble figure and manly countenance, seem to support this opinion. Mr. Kemble's performance of it was such as we think Can rever be excelled, and fear never will be equalled. We trust that our remarks tipon that of Nit-. Kean will preclude the possibility of our being charged with wishing to obscare his merit, by mentioning the 'excel lencies of Mr. liemble ; on the contrary, we are of opinion that the greatest praise due to him for his highly respecta ble representation of a part, for which his per3onal appear ance is Si) little adapted. Mr. Kean's performance of the romantic Octat , ; . aa is characterized by as strict an adherence. to the semblance of reality as is possible, in a character which is in itself so very unnatural: Poets, however, ate allowed a little scope for their imaginations to wander in, and truly the author of the Afwintaineers has taken full advantage of the liberty. In the scene where the cave is occupied by Sadi and Afnes, Mr. Kean was particularly happy ; the emotion with which he hears Sadi utter sentiments that are so congenial to the feelings of Octarian = the assurances which he gives them that he will he their friend and protec tor, and the manner in which he endeavours to overcome the timidity of Agile;, were admirably depicted. lie delight( d us by the masterly skill with which he pourtrays the conllicting emotions that agitate Octavian when time ap proach of Floranthe is first announced to him» ; and he was equally successful in representing the delight he experiences on being convinced that his long-lost mistress is at length restored to his arms. Upon the 'hole, however, we are of opinion that Mr. Lean's Qctacian is inferior to many other weepow 0. ... we .4.w 4• 4 1•11 k V
