The acting of Mr. Charles Kean in the Louis XL of M. Casimir De- lavigne, which was revived on Wednesday, is as remarkable as ever. His elaboration of the malicious humours of the king, while he is in a state of comparative vigour, and of the physical and moral horrors of a bad man's death, produces a specimen of individual character that is al- together unique on the London stage. When the play was first produced, Keanites and anti-Keanites heartily shook hands, in their agreement as to the excellence of this particular character, and though the anti- Keanites have no doubt passed away, as belonging to another generation, the refined work of histrionic art still retains its value.
