Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean at Pike's

Opera House.

(From the Cincinnatti Daily Commercial of June 6)
Abe
house and Mrs. Charles Kean appeared to a ge°'
house last night in the plays of ,4 Henri the
Eighth" and the " Jealous Wife." Mr. Kean is tirt
gentleman of middle height, and has a calm but
scholarly face. The features are strongly marled'
but seldom out of repose, which fact adds greatly t 0
the import and effect of the remarkable expresel°ll
that three or four or five times during the progress
of the play rest on them. of
The elocution of Mr. Kean has not a trace a
staginess about it. It is marked by a profeilnho
originality, perplexing to an ear used t. tr
hackneyed cadences of the stage, and the set Julie":
tions which occur naturally to the hasty studelleow
which so many actors are. His unimportant speecitit
are simply recited with impressive gravity, witbs°
animation, and little incidental emphasis•
and
gestures ars not numerous, but very graceful
complete when they are introduced. In but 4:4-
scene in " Henry the Eighth" did Mr. Sean
ploy some of the latent force which has made bhe
he
so great a name. It was in the utterance oft r
lament we have referred to. It was a grand Pci;re
trayal—every phrase a study, and every gest, to
adding to the grandeur of the scene. It satisfieuwo
that the Promethean spark was there. Before re,
had not detected it, though acknowledging the,o
sence of great culture and study, and immac"
good taste. LIU
The old fire of Ellen Tree shone forth net
plainly but vividly in the trial scene. She was:,,,i—;
pressive, in word and look, and two or three tDo
electrifying. The ruins of such an artist Woulc`ro,
of more value to the drama than the superficial P,llO
portions of the newer lights, who have neither 'of
genius of Mrs. Kean nor her grand conceptiono
her profession. Yet the day that will find liero
ruins is far distant, as all who looked on her with
honestly critical eye last evening will affirm. 0.0
The artists accompanying Mr. and Mrs. getli,jog
of good abilities, and evidently invaluable inVoir
tone to their grand routine of plays. And We
serve that the resident company play with unt7o
care, and that each mise en scene is in harmony 7ive
the regenerating influences of the engagement' one
have the promise of a great dramatic revival'
that will extinguish all former applications °f
term. Alcoa
Shakspere's " Merchant of Venice" is annei:ii 0,4
for to-night; Mr. Kean as Shylock, Mrs.
Portia.
