TIIE THEATRE'. DRNIY-LANE.—" .4 New Way to Pay old Debts." and a way which we imagine will he very successful et Drury-Lane, was last night revived, With Mr..K HAN as Sir Gilts Overreach. His per fermattee was infinitely superior to any thing we have e'er seen him achieve, and hail lie been en..." tirely new to the stage, would probably have pro cured him even a more unquestioned reputation than that which he enjoys as an. Actor of the highest talents. Sir Oiles Overreach . is. it cha racter most potently drawit " bold bait t»an," full of energetical, and daring villainy.— There is no form .which he does not assume to effect his purposes .; he fawns and cringes to his superiors, and tyrattizes with the most .brotal fee tof.ity over those whom Misfartmies-have placed below or rewiereil dependant upon hint. lie is a Being of violent crimes awl violent . passions : a human de mon , vull i virtute redeusptuusitself as- we hope for the tumour cif our nattily. does not exist in led life. It is nevertheless very effective upon the stage, and 'afforded the finest scope fur the full exercise of Mr. KEAt4II peculiar qualifications. The transitions front deep calculating projects of aggrandizement, to the conflicts of various mid active. -enterprise ;- the successive dominion of stormy emotions, such as all Sir Giles's are,-of ex pectancy, of invention of wicked machinery to accomplish his ends,. of misgiving, of apprehen- Siolt., of disappointment, of rage, of anguish, and of despair, was pourtrayest with a degree of force, rigour and truth which belong only to mastery in the histrionic. art, AVe shall not refer to particular parts, or passages, content, with. de-;. livering an Opinion, the inure valuable -because . we are wit in the train of this Gentleman's thiguishing flatterers, that Mr.KEAN's personation of Sir Giles Overreach jtisilyentitlei hint to take the highest -rank in his arduous profession. We icarc.iy know any.thing we could desire to suggest to his consideration in repeating it on INlonday. lie looks, we think, rather too young, and perhaps uses too much agility ; these arts mere trifles,— The only point of greeter importance which curs to us as worthy of entice, is one which ema nates from . the very perfection of the performance, the glowing colouring with .vllich Mr. KF,AN in vests it. The contrasts drawn by the Poet are, as 'ye have already „mentioned, extremely Viol ent , an d upon the very verge of being unnatural. stamtnate•skill is therefore wanted in the Actor , to temper .contrasts, to subdue their tot*; as-'hunch a 3 pestillile'withota losing sight of th e i r effect, and melt them harmimioosly iwo each other. Mr; • KeAN Was throughout so greatly vehemeut, that this task was to hint rendered tenfold more difficult thao to a less able Actor,' with whom' all the parts would he subor dinate; and on a lower scale but it' is on that necount the more worthy of being attempted by hint.- Most of the other personages in th;s drama were ably represented. MUNDEN'S Marrall was mastt rpiece in his way ; in the first acts a little too broad, perhaps, hut, like a Flemish picture, admirable in its very Cxtinvitgance. Mrs. GLOVER was excellent .in Cody 4i/worth :, KEAN'S powers almost Overpowered her itt the last act, which he certainly wrought np to perfect plirenzy anal tpai r . Mrs. Hoop opened and shut her eyes very meekly acid prettily; and )varrespectOde it) „Lord in spite of a trOnblesome cloak or scarf for which lie could no t find etnploymeot. The only puominerit failure hr the piece was 114 - Lgv's Wellborn. It is at war with all his quali ties, or, in the phrase of the Theatre "quite out of his line." This cast ought to be amended, if the Managers wish the plsy to be completely suc cessful.' The disgusting Justice Greedy did not iturrovs'.under the hands of aIRERKY. , The lionise was well tilled, and will doubtless be so every night that such a treat. this New Way to likry Old Debts is presented-to the Public.
