Equerry. in Waiting, and Colonel PALMER, of the 10th HuS gars, Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness, left Carlton House at a quarter before eleven o'clock, for HounslOvv.Heath, in order to review his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND'S rekiment, the 15th Light Hussars. His Royal Highness. arrived on •the ground at twelve o'clock, where the regiment was formed_ in. line. The ground was kept by a party of the 10th Hussars, the Royal Blues, and Life Guards. As soon as the PRINCE REGENT alighted from his carriage, he mounted his charger, and, attended. by his Aides de-Camp, and a number of General Officers, pro ceeded to the head of the line, the Band playing " God Save the King," and down the front, and up the rear, and then took- his station in front. The Regiment immediately passed in single files, then formed, and marched again in ouick time, in squadrons ; after which, various evolutions were executed in a-style of military discipline not to be surpassed by any troops in the world. The Regiment had indeed a most noble appearance. Lieutenant-Colonel GRANT gave the command. His Royal Highness .expressed his high satisfac, tion with 'the military appearance of the troops, and the masterly, manner in which their evolu tions were performed. After the review, his Royal Highness inspected a number of young horses, _which have been lately purchased for the Regiment. There were.present their Royal High- nesses the Dukes of YORK and CAMBRIDGE, Lords HILL,,BERESFORD, HARRINGTON, CATHCART, &C. together witA a number of General QiEcers. MR. KEAN. The following able ami acute Critigite upon the Performance, of Mr. KgAri has- been lying %;:ith ti 3 since the 6lose Of the Thekric4 Sbkisou ; but the pressure or teiiip4Ary matter has hitherto prevented oiir paying it the attention it nierits% the credit Of the National Tast6, with tespeet to theatrical Genius; is, in a great degree, eon- I craned as to the pretensions. of this Actdr to the fame which he haS acquired, 'and, therefore, it becOnies the duty of a Public Writer to endea: your to present an inipartial estimate of Iris pro-.' fessional Merits. This-duty is atiempted.on the present occasion, without any 'conscious petljii-; dice or partiality. Of his person it ‘yotild be needless to speak,- as. he has be6n so - often seen, but'as his fame' MAW ottend where his perform.:: antes may not lie , witnessed, it ought tint to piss without notice in this place.. It proper, there fore, to state that LOS stature is tielow the middle size ; and that, thong!) there is no striking defect . in his figure altogether, thine is nothing remark able in proportion arid, symmetry. His face is capableol . strong expression, and he possesses a meking and intelligent eye ; his features, though . they admit of Varied expression, are seen to ino;i advantage when he .seems to be absorbed in deep reflection. On such occasiono, mind appears to'lie at 'work, and his faCe never indicates a va cant stare. It is evident that he is fully co ts - dons of this power, and .he, therefore, often ussurries . a thoughtful and reflecting asne: when there. is nb thing in the character svi,ien, at, those periods, demands such an . expression. voice is'not extensive, nor is it well-toned or powerfUl.— 'Sometimes it is very harsh, and peculiarly so when he gives an energetic utterance to his feelings. All such efforts are strongly marked' by that man- . ner which, in the technicatlangtiage. of the The atre,.is called mouthing, to a greater degree than in any Actor remembered by the Critic 'of the present time. His action, in general, is that of familiar life, and he, on. no occasion, displays a dignified demeanour. kt•is this close 'imitation the habits and gestures of common life, that has , probably been one of the most powerfutl means by which. he has , excited so much achnication, among the general mass of Spectators. They see that it is exact as a representation of ordinary habits, but they do not appear to be capable of dis crimination, and. consequently of perceiving that it may not be appropriate to tile characters t.:11 he is endeavouring to represent. If the Poet has raised the sentiments and language of character* not taken from- ordinary life, as he aright to do, it is obvious that the demeanour of the Actor should be raised in due proportion, without de-.. viating front nature, properly..direeted and dis- - eiplined by judgment. 'What would be thought of the works of TENTERS, OsTADE, HEMsKIRE., BROWER, and other Painters of their description, however excellent in their province, if they were to dress the characters which they introduce in their works like Kings and Heroes, and yet employ therit' in the same actions as they assign to their Boors and ,Mechanics, .Suell appears to be the dis propoi tints between. the -Manner tot Mr. KzAs and what is..reetiired in the higher order of characters trhirlr ffie hi s' - as•sturred,--rrrtieitlerly in. Richard, Hamlet, and Othello. In Shylock and lago this. manner Move conformable to the characters, and in tlise he appears to more advantage. ln the latter charaeter','indeed, his demeanour, though neeessarily portraying the astions of common life, is too light and frivolous, Such as would, better becoine the levity of Gtatiano. It seems evident that. if logo had displayed the manner which Mr. KEAN adopts'lic woi.ihl not have appeared so solid, so grave, and so reflecting a character as to raise, Jo-the other persons of the play, a bigh opinion of his wisdom and worth,- so as to 'procure him the general designation of " honest .fugo.'" Mr. KEAN, in this character, instead .Of appearing with a kind of open, firm, aid niartial carriage, seems to be constantly enloyed in some purpose of low cunning - . There is a sort of tricking,. common ! . 'place siibtility in his mode of performing this part that gives it a sharping aspect, wlticit, thoukh the. audience cannot but view the conduct, of logo with horror, tends to iesseu it by contempt for the vulgar shrev. - dness of his deportment. Th e manner in Which Othello speaks of logo may be considered as a criterion of the general opinion which the rest of the persons of the drama had. formed of his character, for' the Moor must be sup posed, as he says, to have had his mind chiefly em ployed on military matters, and, therefore, in ad dition to his own observations on ;the ordinary. concerns of life, he must also be supposed to have formed his opinion-of /a 0 on the general estinka tion in which his character was held. The; first proof of . othello's confidence in /ago is in imparting to him the secret of his marriage, .and the next in trusting to. him. the care of Desde mona, ,and on the latter occasion he describes him to the Duke and the Senators as " a man of honesty and trust." logo speaks of his wife as too much inclined to exercise her tongue : another sign that he is averse to light and frivolous behaviour. In every soliloquy - he displays a lithid of deep re flection, and such a mind is seldom, if ever, ac companied with st) loose and volatile, yet sly and tricking, a carriage as is assumed by Mr-KEAsi. lago, indeed, is airy and sportive, in the first scene .at Cyrus, when Desdemona desires him to give a specimen of leis skill in drawing characters, and he tells her that he is " nothing if not criti cal."' In a following scene with Cassio too, when lie designs to seduce 'the Lieutenant into t. y, he. affects a careless gaiety and a jovial 'spirit, but he does so in order,to cover his deep walig nant ptitpose. Othello speaks of the " gravity and Stilness" of Montano, another proof that the Moor , admires that kind of deportment.. -When Othello is alarmed by the instigation of logo to raise his jealousy,- he says— " And, for I know thou art full of love and honesty, " And weight'st words before thou giv'st them breath, " Therefore these stops of thine fright me the more; " For such things in a false disloyal knave " Are tricks If CHStOnl brit, in a man that's just, . They arc close denntements working from the heart, " That passion cannot rule." • in the preceding scene of the night brawl, Othello refers to u .Honest lago, that lootest dead with grieving," fpr an account " how the foul rout began,', rather than to any other person - . reif;4;' succeeded in tkiiitig jetticittsy iu Othell4; iatitt says of hini, This iellow'i 6f exceeding haneste,, " ail qualities, with a learnitl spiral " Of htunan H not imProper to dwell the Oil the' loner • character of Ingo, liteatise those who are. hot arnofik the etithuSiastie rl.daaiier; seem to Considef it as his' liest-perfortnanC'e. 11; thertfore, froth iildaetion; it appears th;it does. not adopt. the manners suitable to the past; but rtithei: " tricks of custom," it htfoiti tysisttug cr:rtricisi of his judguient. It WOtn he tolii.its; and,, perhaps, ungracious, .to triter :ntri a Utitinle detail; hut it •mity be ob , Sierved, as a prof that Mr. KEAN is too much inclined to try the id;l'est °ibis eve, that iii two strikifig littisnces he to-: tally duserti the feelings of the f..;haracteii Ins that purpose. First; in Shylocle,.vheiT , after being (;;;,... appOinted in hii revenge, losing half c,h hiS fortune; beifig obliged to leave the other half to the ntalq who had robbed him of his daughter; and; what inust be dreadful to hiM indeed, he is Compelled to desert , his " sacred nation" to become Chris-- tWt; yet; with all this Ofektlielm'isg misery, when be deiires _because be sick, and When the taunts of Gisszt;;;; sly!!!1(l past; by hiin " like the idle wind which he regards fitit," before he quits the stage, he turns and pies steadily on the latter for several mornents heisame play, while the Duke addresses him in a long speech, recommending mercy towards An totsio, Mr. KEAN torus his back on the Duke and the Senators, rinsing the whole tune that it is . uttering. Would the Cryer the Court have suffered him to show such an ,indignity before an awful tribunal, and wpuld a .le-,D in a Iloinan. Catholic Country have dared to she w Such gross irreverence ? In Othello, alsO, after having deli vered his first Speech to the Senate, he turns his back upon the Court, and remains in that positisni during the whole of what passes, 'till Desdentork is Inouiht .in by ragb': Mr. KEAN falls intd• the sante error in Richard as he bacl done in Shy , lock, when, Backinghani has goaded hint witls solicitation for " lice mucecildds, &c." for after he' has exclaimed_ in rage, " I ,am busy, aims trott• blest me, I am not in the vein,"—and might be expected •to rush from the stage with fury, Mr. KEAN turns and gazes upon Buckingham as long as he did upon Gratiano. As .his mode of uttering one passage in'hylock has been-particularly ad mired, it may be proper to examine into its pro priety. When Portia, having heard •the case, ssys, then must the Jew be merciful," Par. KEAss says, " on what compulsion must I? tell 'me that." Surely this may be deemed an improper emphasis,. for ti es stress lies . upon the word Coo/puts/oh, an:i the " inast I" pronounced us he does, is quite unnecessary, and a redundancy of precision. To justify Mr. KEAsr's reading,_ Portia should have laid the , stress on . the worth must. As to the novelty of • returning to kiss Opitetia's hand, - after his siolent mode of treating her, rind when he might reasonably suppose that his conduct :rata narrowly watched, it has been justly observed lw the public prints, that what the king says in the • following scene, viz. " Love affections do not that way tend," is a full proof. that this' ac tion is .erroneous. Besides, such an action would have - prevented Ophelia from despairing of his af fection, as she dties as soon aS he has quitted her, and rather have induced her to think, that amidst • all his insanity, love was lurking in his heart. Without entering into further particulars, it may he observed, that so anxious is lair. KEAN to engross attention; that he•generally turns himself towat•ds the audience, and' when he teas concluded a speech to another person on the stage; he t ur n , his back, and remains in that position 'dosing the -answer. What would be - thought of a man who did so in a private room ? Yet Mr. KEAN is called the actor of real life and nature. As to his slapping of his. hands, rubbing than together, closing them behind hims and striking his fore head, when he has hit Lipua a thought, 'they are certainly natural actions, but not very becoming and appropriate to the higher order of characters. But Mr. KEAN makes no distinction, for his de portment is in all alike. To show how apt he is to adopt unsuitable gess tine, it maybe mentioned, that in Richard, speak ing. of " i spiders crawling on his startled hopes," before he utters the word, he snakes a mot ion like crawling with his hand ;• he does the same \ORR) the word recurs; and when he says - he wants:a friend '"to tread upon them," . he previously and repeatedly points -to the ground t with his- :Ore finger.. A gentleman observing,the latter action, drily said, " tread with his finger I" • Altogether, it may be fairly said of Mr. KEAN, that his chief aim scents to be to strike by detail, and not to grasp the whole-of a character. Therefore, it would be absurd to suppose that his fame will subside, and it may rather be inferred, that it will continue, because the majority of an audience, is general, are not capable of nice dis crimination, and because, in a tieetiug population, such majorities may always be expected. That, Mr. KEAN is devoid of merit, it would be tuljtht. and illiberal to affirm ; on the contrary, it.must be admitted, that be possesses talents, which, ," mellowed by the stealing hours of time," mav render him a very good actor, but that his extrs ordinary popularity is founded on solid groundl may well be questioned. He is often neat, smart, pointed, and even expressive, in detail; belt lee does not appear to have a commandtng scope of mind, and his success seems principally, it not. Wholly, to arise from a-novelty of mattnerin the adoption of familiar action, which, though muft is 'unsuitable in its apph .c - I.ailtlln. i o ntbe vulgar sense, 111 r.
