THEATRES.

DRURY LANE.

Dr. Brown's noisy tragedy of Barbarossa was re-
produced last night, for the purpose, (we presume)
of showing that Mr. Kean, jun., possesses few or no
qualifications for a first-rate actor. His mind, in-
deed, is most singularly undramatic. It has evi-
dently too much intelligence to win its way by dint
of sheer noise and impudence; and too little to give.
effect to the more mental parts of character. It
reverses, therefore, the old adage of "medis tutissi-
nzus, 4.c." In his last night's performance of Ach-
met, Mr. Kean gave moderate—and but moderate,
satisfaction. His chief defect was an inability to mark
the conflicting emotion by which Achmet is so deeply
oppressed. In his scene with his mother, where, though
solicitotis to press her to his heart,he is compelled to
address her as a stranger, Mr. Kean evinced singular
indifference—even frigidity. He spoke to her with
as much :aneroid as if he was speaking to a coal-
heaver on the subject of a chaldron of coals for
winter—perfectly business-like and inanimate. In
his conversation with his " sweet-heart," Irene, he
was "equally methodical. Indeed we have heard of
an eminent living Judge, who addressed the
daughter of his washer-woman in chambers, with
far deeper emotion. In the third act, however, there
was here and there a gleam of better spirit, while,
in the two last we recollect nothing more impres-
sive than the words, " dost thou then repent thee of
thy crimes?" which were delivered with very com-
mendable tenderness. Mr. Cooper enacted Othman
as usual, with the abundant assistance of his
left arm, and Mr. Mude did Barbarossa with
an equal abundance of lungs. After the tra-
gedy a new piece (translated from the French)
entitled " The • Gambler's Fate, or, A Lapse
of Twenty Years," was produced, in which
horror was superadded to horror, with true No-
vember effect. The plot is something like the
following :—Albert (Wallack), a wealthy young
man, is seduced by his friend Malcom (Coo-
per) into the habits of a gambler, And loses a large
sum given him by his father to purchase jewels for
his intended wife Julia (Mrs. West): His friend,
meanwhile, supplies him with false jewels, which
are discovered to have been stolen, and for which he
is tried and condemned, but escapes. Twenty years
after this we are again introduced to him in rags
and wretchedness, so much so that he is induced
to murder a traveller for the sake of his funds.
Just at this crisis Malcour (equally wretched), re-
appears, and contrives to find out the secret of the
murder, which they both go out to bury. Mean-

time, Henry(Albert's ) t's son comes to his father's
house, who learns from his infant child, that
a young
stranger just arrived, has a large sum
about him.
This is enough for Malcour, who
•
of course resolves to " do him," when, unfor-
tunately, just as he is in the act of ", doing
him," (i. e. murdering him), the victim's Mother, fol-
lowed closely by a thunderbolt, enters the house,
when Albert learns that he has assisted in the de-
struction of his own child. Of course at this mo-
ment the police-officers, who are always at hand in
melo-dramas, rush in and seize him ; but his eon-
science anticipates their business by disposing of
him in a very summary manner, viz. by a broken heart.
Such is the bare outline of a play, which is made up
in its details of every fiendish atrocity: There is
notta villain in the piece; they are all demons.
From first to last it is a monstrous, exhibition of
unadulterated diabolism, and 'as such can only startle
or disgust it can never amuse or improve.

COVENT GARDEN.
Mr. Kean's appearance last night as Shylock,
the part in which he first came out—attracted
a full and fashionable house. Long before the

rising of the curtain, every .place was occupied,
and considerable impatience testified to witness
the improvement or deterioration of Mr. Kean's
dramatic powers. 'Either, in the case of a great
genius, will suffice to fill a house; for quite
as many people love to spy out a defect, as to
discover a beauty, in an old favourite. Be this as
it may, we do not hesitate to assert that Mr.
Kean's energies appear considerably improved : the
languor of last season, though it still at times ad-
heres to him, is not so strikingly prominent as be-
fore; nor does his voice faulter so terribly., His
Shylock of last night was a striking and vigorous
piece of acting; somewhat subdued, perhaps, with
less of clap-trap about it than usual,—but _for
that very reason more iinposing. Mr. Charles
Kemble's Bassaaio was almost faultless; indeed
it almost divided applause with Shylock. Miss
Coward, as Nerisst, exhibited powers of no mean
order; and Miss Jarman gave to the Portia an ;im-
pressiveness of which we before thought it inca-
pable. After the play, the audience clamoured for
Mr. Kean : an apology was, however, made for non-
appearance, on the plea that he had left the theatre,
with which the Gods expressed themselves satisfied.
