1817.

ing. In a word, it was as fine a display of dramatic genius as any stage could afford.

Mrs. CLARKE, in her performance of Belinda, sustained the reputation she has obtained at Kilkenny. The stage arrangements have not furnished many opportunities for this lady to appear in this line of acting. She pleased and surprised us in Belinda.

Miss KELLY was a capital representative of Clarissa; and the characters of Tattle, Tippet, and Marmalet, were well supported by Mrs. M'CULLOCH, Miss CURTIS, and Mrs. JONES.

LOVE LAUGHS AT LOCKSMITHS was admirably performed throughout. Mr. M'CASKY'S Captain Beldare was in his usual style of excellence. He introduced, with fine effect, the celebrated Song of, "As burns the charger when he hears the trumpet sound," which was rapturously applauded. The Risk of Mr. CORRY was in his own superior manner; and the Song of "A Woman is like," was universally encored. It would be impossible to bring forward a better Totterton than that of Mr. CUMMIN. Lord MONCK gave another proof of his zeal and attention to character by his performance of Vigil. The Solomon Lob of Mr. GEORGE HELSHAM was better than we could have expected, but it might have been filled with more effect by others of the Company. Miss KELLY sustained the character of Lydia with great ability; and at the falling of the Curtain, expressions of delight were strongly proclaimed by the Audience, at the whole of the performances of this Evening.

[Tuesday, October 21st, 1817.]-The Right Hon. the COUNTESS of ORMONDE gave, this day, a splendid fete champetre to a very numerous party of the fashionable company who now honour Kilkenny by their presence, at her delightful mansion near Castlecomer. After the dejeune, the gay party enjoyed the beautiful scenery of her Ladyship's extensive demesne, for a considerable time. The large gardens, conservatories, &c. which are kept with a neatness and attention that cannot be surpassed, were all laid open to the company. The promenading of the party along the banks of the silvery lakes, under the shades of rich foliage, and the frequent emerging of groups of beauty and fashion from the groves and plantations, had a most enchanting effect. After enjoying the rural scene for some time, the happy company assembled on the lawn, by which time, a collation of the choicest viands was provided for their refreshment, to the excellency of which they did ample justice.

In the evening, a grand Ball and Supper was given by the lady of MICHAEL BRENAN, Esq. at that gentleman's house, in this City. Nearly 300 persons were present.The attentions of the host and hostess were unremitting and general, throughout the whole evening. The Supper comprised every thing that wealth and judgment could command; and such were the pleasures of the entertainment, that the company did not separate till five o'clock in the morning.

[SIXTH NIGHT.-Wednesday, October 22d, 1817.]—As the time to which the gentlemen of the Theatrical Society have limited their exertions, this season, approximates to

[ocr errors]

a termination, the anxiety of the public, to witness the performances, increases. On this evening the House literally overflowed, and even the lobbies were crowded; but, owing to the unceasing attentions of the Gentlemen who undertook the duties of Stewards, the most perfect order and regularity were preserved.

The Play was JULIUS CESAR; the cast of the characters, with a few observations on the performance, appeared in The Moderator immediately subsequent to its former representation.

Mr. ROTHE, who suffered from the effects of a severe cold when he last appeared in the character of Brutus, was in excellent voice, and gave to the character all that impressive force and dignity, which might be expected from the virtuous Patriot, the magnanimous Philosopher, "the most illustrious of all the Romans."

Mr. POWER, as Mark Antony, looked the polished, the elegant, "Revelling" Roman, and performed the part with that truth and ease, by which his performances are so much distinguished. In the well-known Address to the multitude, over the body of the murdered Caesar, his voice and manner were so suited to his purpose, that the deaf must have known he was an adroit Courtier, playing on the passions of an ignorant multitude.

Of Mr. BECHER'S Cassius, this evening, we can only say, he surpassed himself on the former representation of this Play. His whole performance was enriched with striking beauties.

In Mr. CORRY's Casca, the portrait of the indignant and cynical Roman was painted with his usual felicity. The business and bustle of the last act were kept up with great spirit. The processions, incidental to the Piece, were magnificent and well arranged; and the whole performance went off with great eclat.

The Interlude of SYLVESTER DAGGERWOOD was introduced, in consequence of the unavoidable postponement of the Afterpiece.

A DIVERTISSEMENT, highly amusing in its way, closed the Evening's Entertainment, in which Mr. CRAMPTON, Mr. J. POWER, jun. and Captain BUTLER, displayed some most excellent dancing. The two young Ladies captivated us by their appearance and manners. They danced with a modesty, and ease, that rendered them not unworthy of imitation among other Ladies we could mention. Lord MONCK and Captain STRAKER were highly diverting as an Old Woman, and an Old Man. Mr. J. BUSHE made a most excellent Buffo Lover; and nothing could exceed the gratification of the Audience at their Night's Entertain

ment.

After all we have said of the Plays, the Balls, and the Parties of the last fortnight, it will not surprise our readers at a distance, to learn, that fashionable arrivals are still taking place daily.

A very general wish prevails, that the gentlemen of the Theatrical Society would extend the season for another

1817.

week; and we have reason to believe, that there will be a general call, to that effect, in the house. Nearly as many ladies and gentlemen were unavoidably refused admission, last night, as were within the walls of the Theatre; and every seat is engaged already for this evening.

[Thursday, October 23d, 1817.]-The Ball at the Assembly Room this night, exceeded in splendour, rank, and numbers, any former meeting at that place. The receipts for admission produced a valuable accession to the Charitable Funds of the City. The grand and joyous party began to break up about one o'clock, and at two, nearly all the rank and fashion of the Town sat down to an elegant Supper at the PALACE. It is needless to say any thing of the enter tainment: it was precisely what might be expected from the munificent hospitality of the LORD BISHOP OF OSSORY, and the refined taste of his amiable Lady.

[SEVENTH NIGHT.-Friday, October 24th, 1817.]---The House, this evening, was crowded beyond all precedent. The coup d'œil was grand in the extreme. The Entertainments for the night, were the Tragedy of Macbeth, and the Farce of THE HOTEL.

The Editors of SHAKESPEARE justly observe, that, in the Tragedy of MACBETH is combined all that is terrific and sublime. The story is founded on Scottish History, and may be found in the Chronicles of HOLLINSHED. It was this Tragedy which conferred upon SHAKESPEARE the distinguished honor of receiving a letter from his Sovereign, JAMES THE FIRST, written in his Majesty's own hand, to testify his admiration of this work. STEVENS 'calls it the first of all dramatic enjoyments, and the moral tendency of the piece, pointing to one great sacred precept, "Thou shalt do no murder," renders it one of the most useful, and impressive lessons, which the Stage exhibits.

The character of Macbeth, as drawn by our immortal bard, has ever been considered as one of the most difficult for an Actor to sustain with effect, and never was Mr. POWER, the hero of the night, more completely in the full exercise of all his former energies.

In the soliloquy, previous to the murder of Duncan, when he starts at the "air-drawn dagger," and in the one subsequent to the commission of the crime, he exhibited all the fear, the terror, the remorse, natural to a mind urged to the commission of a crime by ambition, and afterwards revolting at the atrocity of the act he had perpetrated. Mr. POWER has a singular command of countenance, and he marked the passages he delivered in these scenes with a felicity of expression, of which any remark of ours can give but a faint idea.

We were particularly struck with his delivery of the following passage:

"There's one did laugh in his sleep, and one cried murder!
That they did wake each other; I stood and heard them :
But they did say their prayers, and address'd them
Again to sleep."

"One cried, God bless us! and, Amen, the other;
As they had seen me with these hangman's hands,
Listening their fear. I could not say, Amen,
When they did say, God bless us."

When urged, by Lady Macbeth, to return to the Chamber which had been the scene of his crime, his manner of replying to her was peculiarly forcible

"I'll go no more:

I am afraid to think what I have done;
Look on't again, I dare not.”

In the banquet scene, when alarmed by the vision of the ghost, Mr. PoWER's sudden starts and writhings perfected the illusion, and the Audience testified their sense of his merit by long and continued applause. His delivery of the soliloquy, on being made acquainted with the death of the Queen, was highly impressive; and here the greatest possible effect was given to the lines of the Poet"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more; it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."

In short, we have never seen Mr. POWER to greater advantage than on this evening; and we were delighted to find, that the health of this estimable gentleman was so perfectly restored, as to enable him to undertake, and so completely to succeed in, a task of so much difficulty, and one that requires so much exertion. Of his superior conception of the part we were perfectly aware.

The interesting character of Macduff found, in Mr. ROTHE, an excellent representative, and we frankly say, we never before saw it so well performed on any Stage. The heart-felt agony he expressed, on receiving the intelligence of the murder of his wife and children, came home to the hearts and feelings of his Auditors, whose sympathy was expressed by sighs, and tears.

Mr. BECHER imparted to the character of Banquo all the interest of which it is capable; and we scarcely think, after a critical observation of the leading Performers of the day, that the Metropolitan Theatre could furnish, in one Company, three professional Performers of greater talent than our amateur representatives of Macbeth, Macduff, and Banquo.

It is but little praise to Mr. CORRY to say, that the short though interesting character of Rosse was most admirably performed by this gentleman.

The Hecate of Mr. CRAMPTON was in his usual excellent style; and Mr. M'CASKY, whose vocal powers are of a very superior description, was in fine voice, as the first Singing Witch. The three Speaking Witches were well sustained by Lord MONCK, Captain BUTLER, and Mr. Fox; there was none of that mummery in their performance, with which we have been often disgusted by Actors of inferior judgment.

Miss WALSTEIN, as Lady Macbeth, appeared to much advantage. Every time we see her in those striking cha

1817.

racters that are more peculiarly in her own sphere, we are the more surprised that her talents have latterly been suffered to lie dormant in Dublin, a city noted for refined taste and discernment of talent.

The splendour of the banquet was rather suited, we must say, to a country of a cloudless sky, than to that of Scotia in the olden time. Instead of melons, peaches, jellies, and ices, "a gude cog of kale brose," would have been more characteristic of the manners of the age and country in which the scene is laid. With the exception of this error, one that universally prevails, the appointments were of the most elegant and appropriate nature; and the gratification of the Audience throughout, was manifested by loud and reiterated bursts of applause.

After the Play, the Divertissement noticed in our last was repeated, and the different Performers acquitted themselves in a way highly amusing to the Audience. The dancing, particularly the waltzing, was of a very superior description.

The Afterpiece was THE HOTEL. In the humorous character of Lazarillo, Mr. CORRY acquitted himself in his usual excellent manner. The ludicrous perplexities and difficulties of the servant with two masters, were highly amusing. Mrs. CLARKE, in the attire of the Spanish Cavalier, was graceful, easy, and spirited. Where humour and archness are required, she is always admirable. The other characters of this Farce, give but little scope to talent; but the whole was well supported, and the piece was carried through with great spirit and eclat.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF MACBETH.-To attempt such a Play, before such an Audience, as MACBETH, on a private Stage, required no little daring. There was to be encountered not only the appalling difficulty of the chief parts, but the extraordinary and unusual business behind the scenes, and the numerous underparts where fame could not be hoped. Besides, a chorus of Singing Witches was to be regulated, and if any hitch took place, the interest of the whole was sure to be destroyed. All was achieved—all was got up not only with propriety, but with imposing splendour; and the voluntary discipline which was observed, and the gratuitous exertions of all, gave the most unequivocal proof of their esteem for the Manager.

MACBETH is one of the master-pieces of our great Poet. Our limits do not admit of expatiating upon the grand conception, the perfect knowledge, the critical research, which were manifested by Mr. R. POWER in this arduous character. The general effect throughout, from the contention of feelings in the beginning, to the bustle at the end of the Play, was manifested by an enlightened Audience in every manner that rapturous admiration could adopt for its expression. His scene after the murder of the King, when every limb and every feature, exhibited a paralyzed suspension of his faculties, cannot be conceived by those who have not witnessed it. "Wake Duncan with thy knocking! Aye, would thou couldst," was delivered in a manner so unpregnated with feeling, and with such a sinking of the heart, that all our horror at the murder was softened, at the moment, into a sense of pity at the inward sufferings of the murderer; his subsequent exclamation of " Oh full of scorpions is my mind" appeared the more real, and was the more felt by the Audience.

On the whole, we speak here of Mr. RICHARD POWER, not as an Amateur, but as an Actor, who has suc ceeded in achieving what is the ambition of the greatest professional talent to arrive at: and we heartily congratu late him on having completely justified, on this night, the expectation of the fullest House ever known at our Theatre.

SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.

This distinguished character, as announced in our last, arrived at the Hibernian Hotel this evening, and proceeded to the Theatre, which he reached shortly after the beginning of the Play. Efforts were made by the populace to Chair him to the House, which he succeeded in defeating; but he was not able to prevent an immense concourse of people from following him there, who cheered him all the way. Upon entering the Theatre, he was saluted from the Galle ries with a general plaudit, which he respectfully acknowledged; but the progress of the performance suffered no further interruption for the remainder of the night. He remains here the whole of to-morrow, and will attend the Theatre again to-morrow night.

[EIGHTH AND LAST NIGHT.-Saturday, October 25th, 1817.]-This Evening, the KILKENNY THEATRICAL SOCIETY closed the Season, with the Tragedy of OTHELLO, and the Musical afterpiece of the CASTLE OF ANDALUSIA.

The Othello of Mr. RоTHE has been long known, and his success in that character is so fully acknowledged by the Nobility and Gentry who visit our City to witness the Kilkenny Theatricals, that we feel diffident in attempting a review of his performance this evening, which he certainly never surpassed. From the moment of his appearing on the Stage to the fall of the Curtain, his power over the Audience was as indescribable as their emotion. His Address to the Senate was given in a chaste and happy manner. There was none of that ranting or violence of expression, that so often disfigure the character. It was the simple utterance of the heart-a plain, unvarnished tale; but delivered with such feeling as to electrify the Audience for some minutes, who evinced their admiration by rapturous plaudits. The subsequent scenes, in which Iago plays upon the affections and credulity of Othello, until he draws him into a suspicion of his wife's fidelity, were admirably performed; and the final transport and passion of the Moor, at the imagined incontinence of his wife, were portrayed with the most happy effect. His delivery of the following passage excited the most lively and poignant sensations throughout the House—

1817.

During the whole of the performance, Mr. ROTHE was entirely the Othello of the immortal Bard; of the truth of which opinion the Audience gave continued testimony, by the most rapturous applauses. If he appeared exhausted for a moment, it was precisely what might be expected from the whirlwind of his passion.

Mr. BECHER performed the part of Iago. It was his first appearance in this arduous and difficult character, and it was a most successful one. We have seen another Iago upon our Boards, and seen him with that admiration that would have made us fearful of Mr. BECHER's success, had we not seen his Shylock; but the consummate art and malignant disposition of the hypocritical Iago were portrayed by him in a most masterly manner. All the difficult points in this character were illustrated with a justness and discrimination which evinced a complete possession of the author, and the peculiar genius of the performer. He has a command of face and frame, in such characters, beyond that of most Actors. We do not except KEAN, whose best touches are too often beyond nature. Mr. BECHER always conceives strongly, but strictly according to truth.

Mr. CRAMPTON was an admirable representative of Cassio, though, in the scene when he becomes inebriated, he did not support the assertion, that he had " but poor and unhappy brains for drinking," as he certainly quaffed, (we believe good claret,) with as much spirit as he played; and perhaps the pericranium of any one but that of a bon vivant would have been affected by his copious libations. Mr. SKINNER Supported the character of Roderigo very respectably; and Mr. CORRY gave unusual importance to that of Brabantio.

Miss WALSTEIN performed the part of Desdemona in her usual superior style. In the trying and painful scenes towards the close of the Piece, the language of her looks was strikingly impressive. Miss KELLY'S Emilia was above mediocrity, but would have been still better if she had been a little more grave in her anger.

After the Play, Mr. RICHARD POWER, the highly esteemed founder and manager of the Theatrical Society, came forward, and delivered, with exquisite taste, feeling, and effect, an appropriate Address, from the same classic pen, we believe, that supplied the opening one.

The Afterpiece was the CASTLE OF ANDALUSIA, in which, Mr. M'CASKY performed the character of Don Cæsar, and was much and deservedly applauded in the songs of " Flow thou regal purple stream," and, "The Wolf." Mr. CORRY was the representative of the whimsical Pedrillo, which he performed with his usual vivacity. Mr. GEORGE HELSHAM appeared in the amusing and difficult part of Spado. For so young a Performer, he was very successful in it, but we missed the Spado of former times, and we suspect that Pedrillo must have missed him too.

At the close of the Farce, all the Members of the Theatrical Society, then in town, and the different female Performers, came forward, and sang, "God save the King ;" in the chorus of which, the Audience heartily joined. When the Curtain fell, there was a very general call for "another week's performance," on which, Mr. R. Power came forward, and, in a brief Address, which was loudly cheered, he assured the Audience, that a compliance with the general wish then expressed, would have afforded the highest gratification to the Members of the Society, but that, from their private arrangements previously made, he found it would be impracticable; that, as they parted however with reluctance, he hoped they should meet with pleasure next year; but that, for the present, he must respectfully bid them farewel.

Thus has terminated a Season of unexampled success, after a lapse of years which made us fear these elegant entertainments were abandoned for ever. The advantage to the Town and to the Charities has been great, and much gratitude is due by the Citizens, to the high and distinguished characters who compose the Theatrical Society.

[Monday, October 27th, 1817.]-The streets of KILKENNY present a very different aspect now from what they did the last fortnight. Then they were crowded with fashionable visiters: now, in the language of Bond-street, "all the world is out of town." The bustle of last week makes the stillness of the present peculiarly striking.

The point of attraction, this day, was BORRIS, the hospitable Mansion of WALTER KAVANAGH, Esq., where a very large party were sumptuously and elegantly entertained; and from which the strangers struck off to their respective homes. During the continuance of the Plays, the weather was fine, dry, and temperate, which greatly enhanced the pleasures of our visiters.-Late on Saturday evening the weather broke, and rain fell during the whole of the night. Sunday, however, was again fine, but the rain this morning was very heavy. The atmosphere cleared again about Eleven o'Clock in the forenoon, and the day continued favourable for the fete at BORRIS.

We have not space to enlarge on the advantages which the City has derived from the immense expenditure of money by the fashionable strangers who came to witness our Theatricals this season. The eight Plays produced £1040, the two Balls £180, and the Charity Sermon £110, amounting together to ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED and THIRTY POUNDS.

The very heavy expenses attending the refitting and getting up of the interior of the Theatre, &c. &c. will consume a great part of this sum. The Charitable Institutions will, however, receive a liberal proportion of it. Next year, which promises a fuller attendance than ever, the expenses will be comparatively trifling, and the proceeds for the Charities proportionably greater.

Our Visiters were composed of individuals of the highest rank, and of different political parties, yet all was harmony and happiness; for what have Politics to do with such a Meeting as ours? SIR FRANCIS BURDETT was surprised and gratified beyond measure, at the excellency of the

1817.

performances, the splendour of the House, and the beauty and fashion of the crowd he saw, and has expressed his determination to visit the elegant entertainments of our Theatre at some future Season.

ADDRESSED TO

RICHARD POWER, Esq.

On the closing of the Kilkenny Theatre in 1817.

BY A LADY.

The scene has clos'd, the mimic toil is o'er,
The Curtain falls,-to rise, alas! no more;
Falls,-while warm plaudits, free and unrepress'd,
Spontaneous burst from each delighted breast;
Falls, and in vain the still unsated crowd,
With eager prayer, and supplication loud,
Hail the lov'd Ruler of this festive band,
Whose word is law, whose wish a soft command;
Whose subjects, glorying in the yoke they own,
Feel its soft pressure in their hearts alone,
And ask his mandate still for kind delays-
More classic nights-more social, joyous days.,
Ah, no! such fairy moments soon are past,
Such halcyon days, too brilliant long to last:
With lingering steps, reluctant, all depart,
From scenes that glad the eye, and mend the heart;
And that last summons from the prompter's bell,
Seems, of departing gaiety, the knell !-

But see, while yet the brilliant pageant flies,
Pleasures in other semblance, quick arise.
Far other scenes each Actor's heart engage,
And win our classic heroes from the Stage:
Sports, half-forgot beneath the Drama's reign,
Now claim their eager votaries once again;

And those great powers that charm'd a listening throng,
And led our hearts, in magic chains, along,
Now leave such conquests for a nobler game,
And rest their glories on another fame-
A chase well follow'd, or a fence well cross'd,
And all the Actor 's in the Sportsman lost.

And now, when sated with a world's applause,
To tranquil shades our Manager withdraws;
In scenes domestic, shuns th' admiring gaze,
And o'er a narrow circle sheds his rays.
Oh say! may one, who feels the kindling glow
His public talents on the heart bestow,
And, prouder far the privilege, reveres
The private virtue that his home endears;
Who boasts no critic lore, no kindred fire,
Her only wish to see and to admire-
May she approach, with salutation rude,
The calm retreat of Genius, nor intrude,
To add one leaflet to his wreath of bays,
And one small voice to choruses of praise?
And oh! will he, whose excellence demands
The incense of a thousand hearts and hands,
To humbler tributes kind indulgence lend,
And shine alike, the Actor, and the Friend?

The following is a list of our Visiters this Season, unavoidably incomplete from the hurry in which it has been made:
