THE TH EATRE.

Dnutty-LA NE.—Mr. KEAN last night appeared
again at this Theatre, and represented the cha-
racter of Othello. His performance of• this cha-
racter seems to be considered, by his admirers, as
his second best effort, Richard being regarded by
them as his first. llis peculiarities in both are the
same, but as they have essentially contributed to-
wards the establishment of his reputation,it would
not be good policy in him to throw them wholly
aside. A respectable Morning Paper of this (lay,
after some just and liberal praise of his perform-
ance last night, referring to his pauses, makes the
following observations, which, while they accord
with our own opinion, serve to display his gene-
ral style of acting, ainl which are by no means
unworthy of Lis attention :
" Would it not be too much for gravity, if in any of the mo-
dern editions of SIIAK ESPEA II E, stage directions like these
were supplied at the end of the first of the lines above quoted.—
[Pauses ; stares on lago ; slaps his left breast three times, and
then throws both hands over his head, after the manner of the
Black who plays the cymbals in the Duke of York's Bantl.l—
would be thought an extravagant burlesque, yet this,
would guide. the actor to the exhibition which Mr. KEAN
thought it fitting to make at that period of the play. Equally
faulty was his reply to Emilia, after appealing to her if Desde-
mona had not declared that it was not by him that she had-lost
her life. He gave it by instalMents, thus—
She s like—a liar—gone—to burning hell ;'
and then came a most tremendous screech..-.

'Twas I that killed her.":
But, after all that can he said by ignorant admi-
ration'on the one hand, or rigid criticism on the
other, it must be acknowledged that Mr. KEAN
is original in his manner, and that he is a very
effective Actor. COOPER was, as he always is,
respectable in lag° ; PENLEY and RUSSELL, in
Cassio and Roderigo, Mrs. EGEItTON, in Emilia,
and Miss SMITHSON, in Desdemona, all appeared
to give satisfaction to the audience.

A singular wedding occurred in November,
1715, secumlum usum Tremulorem, between a
rich Quaker Apothecary, and a daughter of
D ANiEL QUAKE, the celebrated watchmaker in
Exchange-alley. The place • of entertainment
was Skinners' Hall, " where 300 persons were
present, amongst whom were the Duchess of
Marlborough, &c. The Princess of .Wales was
invited, but did not go."
A charitable institution, called the STEPNEY
FEAST, produced a sufficient sum in 1734 to ap-
prentice sixteen boys at 5/. each, and to clothe
seven, and one poor man.
Madame CXTALANI defers her visit to Exeter
until the Spring, in consequence of a severe cold,
which olliges her to rest a few days at Clifton,
previatm to her journey to Glasgow.
