A DELPHI THEATRE.

The revival of Luun's version of Les Vieux Pec
known to the Londoners as Capers and Coronets, took
place last night at this theatre, and afforded Mr. Morris
Barnett an opportunity of again appearing
in his
favourite part, the Marquis de Grandville, who, formerly
a French opera dancer, is enobled by accident, and is on
the eve of marrying a rich widow. The visit of a
danseuse from the Academie fires his late professional
enthusiasm. The widow accidentally arrives, the
danseuse is concealed beneath the table, and then comes
the denouement. Mr. Barnett's personation of the French
nobleman, anxious to impart the dangerous secret of his
former position, and his alarm at the probable fatal
'consequences, was extremely humorous, and his efforts
were highly applauded by the audience. Mr.
Barnett gives to the character of the Marquis a richnere
of colouring equal to that which makes such a strong
individuality of Monsieur Jacques. The formal move-
ments of the dancer contrasted with the attempts at
aristocratic ease, and the perpetual disposition to make
the foot the chief organ of expression was irresistibly
ludicrous without caricature, and the outburst of the
man's real disposition, when the vanity of the artiste
proves too much for the noble, comes in strong relief to
the previous act of the piece. In the daecing scene Mr.
Barnett was admirably supported by Mrs. Keeley, who
played the intrusive danseuse. Her incitation of the
Spanish dancers was capital; it was given in her peculiar
style of burlesque, which has lorg since been pronounced
to be unequalled. The house was fully and fashionably
attended.
