DRURY LANE THEATRE.
We had the pleasure of again witnessing Win C4arlsa
Kean's performance of Richard 111 ,at this theatrd ,
evening, and certainly, in the present day, the stage
does not possess his equal. His conception of the OW
ratter js perfect. Richard is a fated being, and toward
the close of his career he becomes more than ever sense
hie e that destiny is more powerful than hr; but, unlike
Macbeth who is weighed down to the earthibel
weight of his destiny, and loses-all decision of charae,ther
or firmness of purpose, Richard wrestles boldly
his fate to the last, strives to be the master of ciren
stances instead of their slave, and thus, although fe
and hated, is respected for his indomitable courage elio,
by his enemies. Mr. Charles Kean; it is evident; t%O
conceives the character of Richard, and his delineat!tb
of it is masterly. Admirably did he act the scene it,
the young Princes. The sense' of his deformity 11_74
upon him like an incubus, it bias evident that he ;of
agonised by the sneers of his little- nephew Richard
York, and most truthfully did he delineate by ten"
gesture and by look, the morbid sensitiveness of ,Ich.
touched to the quick, yet striving to hide the wound
is rankling in his heart's core. As he pr,ceeds he wad
in the part. His destiny, at first da!ltly Shadowed f 0 jot'.
becomes more horribly destinit to his mental ca„,/
after he has attained the throne. He remembers 11,.v.9
the &xth's prophecies, and feels that -his star is be
to succumb to that of Richmond L but; unlike Maebetio,
gives not Kay to despair, waits not tole baited in his4ol
he is up and stirring; andalthough for an-instant Bits
may give way to misgivings, he is speedily himself &VI:0
Nothing could be finer than Charles

giving the tent scene. It was perfeot--equal to`be
tether's, and that is the highest praise that eii.,l3 vi
bestowed upon any actor, for the world neve': alsoa
Edmund Kean's superior. His dying scene wes-_,,out.
magnificently given. It vi as full of genius, throuVoof,
.After he has been twice thrust through by RialtA to
he still rushes on to the fight ; he raises his so'ca(l
cut his adversary clown—Oß weight of the swlock,
too great for his palsied arm-it drags the aro. ,gle
but still he retains his grasp. Never was the §tri„lbote
between mental energy and physical weakness rre
beautifully exemplified. He concentrates his wh°'Fa
maining force—the arm obeys the Mind—the sworary,
again his servant—he aims a blow. at _his silvers 9,(1.•
and, exhausted by the effort, falls dead: He Was SP
mirably supported by Hudson, as Richmond. , Its
Hudson is incomparably the best Richmond thtr
ever remember to have seen. His elocution was Lea

freedom, a gallant bearing in his manner that spoke °„,,,
