FOREWORD T H I S third volume in the history of the Philadelphia theatre hardly needs a foreword, since Professor Wilson's own introduction gives to the reader all the necessary information. But since there has apparentlybeen a change of plan in the arrangement of the material, a word may perhaps be in order. In planning the series, it was decided that usefulness and interest should never be sacrificed to mere uniformity. In Professor Pollock's The Philadelphia Theatre in the Eighteenth Century it was possible to give complete casts in the daily record and, owing to the small number of theatres, to preface these with a chronological introduction dealing with all matters connected with the stage. In the second volume, Professor J a m e s had an opportunity to reprint exactly the unique manuscript of W i l l i a m W o o d , the manager of the Chesnut Street T h e a t r e , and consequently his record from 1 8 0 0 to 1 8 3 5 took a somewhat different shape. F r o m this point, the increasing number of theatres has made it necessary to present the daily record in a more condensed f o r m , giving casts only as indicated by Professor W i l s o n when the play is first performed in Philadelphia and, instead of a chronological record, chapters on the Plays, the Players, and the Theatres will furnish a general survey. Complete indices will make easy references for any play, playwright, or actor w h o took part in the Philadelphia theatre during the years from 1 8 3 5 to 1 8 5 5 . These dates are not accidental. In planning the series, each volume brings the history of the Philadelphia theatre to a certain logical climax. T h i s section of the history ends with the year in which Boker's Francesca da Rimini brought the romantic tragedy in A m e r i c a to its height. T h e record of Charles D u r a n g , never published in book form, ends with this year, and the problems of the historian change somewhat when this mine of information, invaluable but always in need of verification, ceases. It was a very significant period in the history of the stage in Philadelphia and deserves the scholarly treatment it has received, not only as a new volume in the series, but for its intrinsic interest.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS IT IS w i t h the keenest pleasure that the present researcher acknowledges his supreme debt to D r . A r t h u r Hobson Q u i n n , distinguished student of the A m e r i c a n d r a m a and theatre. W i t h o u t his guiding inspiration, expert technical direction, and unselfish h u m a n spirit of friendliness, this research w o u l d have been impossible. G r a t i t u d e is due, also, to D r . Reese D. J a m e s and D r . T h o m a s Pollock, friends and co-workers, for their cooperation through constructive criticism. For all our pleasant and instructive talks concerning the Philadelphia d r a m a and theatre of fifty and sixty years ago, the present w r i t e r wishes to remember M r .

INTRODUCTION T H E year of 1835 marks an epoch in the dramatic history of Philadelphia since it brings to a close the account book or diary of William B. Wood, famous actor-manager, and also witnesses the end of his active years of service in our city. T h e year of 1855 also records a turning point in the history of the footlights in Philadelphia. A t that time, three major events took place to affect the three departments of our history, namely: the theatres, the plays, and the actors. T h e Chesnut Street Theatre, known as " O l d D r u r y , " ended sixty-two years of active service in 1855, and was demolished. With its disappearance, the ghosts of its greenroom were laid and the romantic age became a memory. A t this time, also, appeared an epochmaking play, George Henry Boker's Francesca da Rimini, which came as a crowning glory to the romantic age of tragedy. And, as a third event, Dion Boucicault first appeared upon the boards of the legitimate stage in Philadelphia in the year of 1855. It was his influence which was to break up the splendid old stock companies of actors and substitute the complete traveling companies that occupy a theatre building by engagement as they do today. A detailed account of the earliest theatrical history in Philadelphia has been written by D r . Thomas C . Pollock in his book, The Philadelphia Theatre in the Eighteenth Century. And a minute record of the years between 1800 and 1835 has been made a subject of exacting research by Dr. Reese Davis James, in Old Drury of Philadelphia. Dr. James has edited the account book of William B. Wood, the actormanager, whose career runs throughout those years.

T H E THEATRES

CHAPTER I

THE THEATRES 1835 T H E three theatres which were the mainstay of Philadelphia theatrical entertainment in 1835 were the Arch, on the north side of Arch Street above Sixth, the Walnut, at the northeast corner of Ninth and Walnut Streets, and the Chesnut, above Sixth Street on the north side of Chesnut Street. In 1 8 3 5 , Maywood and Company had become the lessees of the Chesnut and the Arch, while the Walnut was without a lessee for a short period. Maywood himself was busy in London, beating around for recruits, star and stock, to supply his Philadelphia theatres. T h e campaign for 1 8 3 4 and 1835 commenced at the Arch under the management of Messrs. Maywood, Rowbotham, and Pratt. T h e house was repainted and decorated in an elegant manner by Henry Warren. T h e lobbies were laid with new matting. T h e orchestra, selected from some of the best talent in the city, was under the direction of Ben. C . Cross, J r . T h e prices were: boxes, seventy-five cents; pit, thirty-seven and a-half cents ; gallery, twenty-five cents. Francis C . Wemyss returned to Philadelphia from an unsuccessful Pittsburgh venture to take over the Walnut with the backing of his good angel, George A . Cook. T h e rent at this theatre was four thousand, one hundred and fifty dollars a year, exclusive of the rooms occupied as bar saloons. Wemyss declined to have anything to do with the bars and their accessories, as a recent law prohibiting the granting of tavern licenses to theatres was in force at that moment. However, the law did not last long and, it is said by Durang, the stockholders received the sum of three thousand dollars a year for the bars, making a rental of upwards of seven thousand dollars for the theatre. When Wemyss leased the Walnut this season, the house was to be redecorated and thoroughly painted according to plans furnished by him. He signed the lease, paid one thousand dollars in advance, returned to the Iron City, closed his campaign there, and with his dramatic corps recrossed the Alleghenies to the eastward. T h e bills of the Walnut [S]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE f o r this year were headed "American T h e a t r e , " with the cut of a large spread-eagle, and a large scroll in his talons inscribed w i t h " W a l n u t Street T h e a t r e . " T h e prices of admission w e r e : boxes, fifty cents; pit, twenty-five cents ; gallery, twenty-five cents. C . Porter w a s acting mana g e r ; W . Barrymore, stage manager; J . G . Clemens, leader of the orchestra ; and Landers, stage carpenter. A large sum of money had been expended on the decorations at the W a l n u t , which represented the celebrated events in American history f r o m the Declaration of Independence to the closing of the late w a r following the glorious battle of N e w Orleans. E a c h tier of boxes was decorated with paintings representing some celebrated battle in the history of the United States. Around the dress circle were placed medallions of the heads of all the presidents, around the second tier the heads of celebrated generals, and around the third tier the heads of naval heroes. Between each medallion and its corresponding painting was a large gold star, the whole forming a pink g r o u n d — a most novel and beautiful interior. A new drop scene was painted by H a r r y W i l l i a m s and an additional scene by Coyle. T h e proscenium and the general decorations were painted by W . Russell Smith, a young artist of Pittsburgh. Designs so original and perfect had never been offered to a Philadelphia audience, D u r a n g assures us. It was stated that the receipts of this season taken by W e m y s s amounted to $ 2 7 , 9 2 5 , giving an average for ninety-six nights of $ 2 9 1 a night. Wemyss was induced to reopen the theatre f o r a summer season which he subsequently regretted, losing about twelve hundred dollars in the fifty-six nights it was open. M a y w o o d and Company kept the Chesnut opened until M o n d a y , February 2 3 , 1 8 3 5 , when they opened the A r c h in place of the other theatre. H o w e v e r , on M o n d a y , A p r i l 6, 1 8 3 5 , the Chesnut w a s again in use and the A r c h w a s closed. T h e W a l n u t , which had been open all winter, was made dark with its last performance on Saturday, A p r i l i l , 1 8 3 5 , the last part of the week in which the Chesnut reopened. F o r the rest of A p r i l , the Chesnut had the field to itself, until the W a l n u t reopened for a summer season beginning Saturday, M a y 2. B o t h theatres closed for a summer recess starting at the close of performances, Saturday, J u l y 4. A special benefit for M r s . Cook was held at the W a l n u t , J u l y 6, with the combined companies of both houses. Both the W a l n u t and the Chesnut again resumed performances, Saturday, A u g u s t 2 2 , and continued uninterruptedly for the remainder of the year. [6]

T H E THEATRES Tradition is a word which has always meant much to Philadelphia, in theory as well as in practice. And one of America's own stage traditions was that of giving timely plays upon the occasions of memorial days. Washington's birthday was remembered usually by the performance of Gustavus Vasa (otherwise known as The Hero of the Xorth, or The Liberator of His Country). Independence Day was celebrated bysuch native dramas as The Liberty Tree, or The Boston Boys of 'ηό, and The Star-Spangled Banner. A n d even famous American battle-days were given occasional memorial attention. Another tradition of the stage was that of literally knocking together an occasional play of allusion to topics of the day. Usually, the play was in the nature of a farce, but not necessarily so. T w o Philadelphia farces which sprang up mushroom-like in 1 8 3 5 owe their origin to the mild furor created in the city by Sir John Herschel, astronomical scientist, whose articles anent lunar discoveries were appearing in the United States Gazette. Discoveries in the Moon, or Herschel Out-Herscheled, by T . D . Rice of J i m C r o w fame appeared at the W a l n u t , September 5, and the Chesnut followed, September 7, with Moonshine, or Lunar Caustic, by W m . E. Burton.

1836 T h e Chesnut, when opened by M a y w o o d and Company, after the summer recess, was repainted and redecorated by C a r r . A new drop curtain was painted by Henry W a r r e n , the subject taken from Sully's historical picture of Washington crossing the Delaware in the Revolutionary W a r . T h e Pennsylvania Theatre, Coates Street, was now in operation, but not flourishing. Cornelius Logan, the ostensible lessee and manager, withdrew early from the venture. T h e establishment belonged to F . C . Wemyss, who built it by way of experiment. It was one of the principal rocks upon which his management subsequently was wrecked. T h i s new theatre, as Wemyss built it, was situated on Coates Street not far from Second Street, on the north side. T h e architect was Sera ; the scene painter, a very ingenious French artist. H e did all he could, with the means allowed, to give this edifice a respectable aspect and an air of taste; but it had quite a shanty, makeshift appearance, and as suddenly sunk as it rose. It opened on November 7, under the auspices of Cornelius A . Logan, from the management of which he retired on [7]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E November 15, when it reopened, and the two continued for the remaining months of the year. T h e name of Charles Durang deserves special mention and must be discussed here in a place where there is room to give particular notice to it. As an actor, Durang does not stand out in any individual prominence, but as stage-manager for the Walnut ( 1 8 3 7 ) he directed considerable personal influence upon the actors appearing there, and himself took occasional parts. For his benefit night, Feb. 6th, he played the part of Lubin in the sketch of Little Red Riding Hood. In 1836, for the opening of the legendary drama of The Maid of Cashmere we find reference to the fact that he had charge of the dances arranged for that play. He himself occasionally danced the specialty number of Rickett's hornpipe (June 24, 1 8 3 5 ) . And he appeared also, in the Christmas pantomime of that year, Harlequin Hurry Scurry (Dec. 25, 1 8 3 5 ) . From time to time he adapted plays for the stage of the Walnut, noticeably Byron's tragedy of Sardanapalus, at its Philadelphia premier on Nov. 23, 1836. And for April 9, 1842, we find that he translated a play from the French of Alexander Dumas for E . S. Conner, called The Warrior of the Wave. But, as a writer, his real importance lies in the achievement of his history of the Philadelphia Stage (1749 to 1855, inclusive). The versatility of his character can be seen through the scope of the many activities that were his : actor, manager, dancer, play-fashioner, pantomimist, theatrical historian, and writer; and the public acceptance of him in these various rôles attests his good craftsmanship. 1838 F . C. Wemyss had a very unsatisfactory year at the Walnut and it was only following the summer recess that he met any degree of financial success in the grand, spectacular procession of The Coronation of Queen Victoria, modeled after Elliston's famous Coronation of George the Fourth, in London, 1820. The lengthy season at the Walnut of sixty-four weeks and one night brought many reverses to Wemyss. By October, he had lost five hundred dollars, but by the summer he retrieved the entire deficiency and made so much money that it was the best season, probably, asserts Durang, that he ever had during his managerial reign. [10]

THE THEATRES T h e Chesnut commenced the f a l l and winter season with the advertisement that : In consequence of the enormous expenses attending the establishment, the prices of admission are fixed upon the following scale: boxes, one dollar; pit, fifty cents. T h e gallery 7 , during the recess, has been entirely removed. T h e reasons set forth for the advance in prices were several, namely : the advance in rents; the expense attending the engagements; the outlay in new scenery, repainting, and wardrobes. W . T . Russell Smith, who was called " o u r native artist," had produced a novel classic drop curtain for the Chesnut. T h e subject was Thespis on his cart at Athens, surrounded by a group of actors. T h e stock company at the Chesnut was truly more effective this season than it had been for years, but it was unfortunately oppressed by the presence of stars on engagement. T h e extravagant sums extorted by the stars gradually sank M a y w o o d and Company into ruin. T h e W a l n u t and the Chesnut continued to hold the attention of the theatre-going public until the W a l n u t closed on T h u r s d a y , M a r c h 22, to be reopened again on M o n d a y , A p r i l 2, by Cooke's traveling company f o r an engagement which lasted until Saturday, M a y 5, when the Chesnut was again in sole possession of Philadelphia's theatrical entertainment. T h e W a l n u t reopened on M o n d a y , J u l y 2 (one week before the Chesnut closed on Saturday, J u l y 7 ) , and continued as a summer theatre for the rest of the season with the production on Friday, August 1 0 , of The Coronation of Queen Victoria, keeping the field to itself until the relighting of the Chesnut on Saturday, August 25. So, we must say again, that at no time this summer (as in the last summer, likewise) did Philadelphia's theatres completely desert the city. A n d the two theatres, W a l n u t and Chesnut, remained in step together without intermission during September, October, November, and December. W i l l i a m E . Burton, the comedian and playwright, who two years later became the unsurpassed man of the hour in Philadelphia theatricals, already at a date even earlier than 1 8 3 8 gave promise of the timeliness and accuracy of his judgment as an entertainer. His ingenuity and ability to know how to please is very adequately suggested in the advertisement included in the United States Gazette for J u l y 7, 1 8 3 8 , the last night of [11]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE season for the Chesnut and likewise the occasion of

Burton's

own

benefit. M r . Burton requests the attention of his Friends to the nature of the entertainments which are selected to suit the season, being of a light and airy nature, and particularly adapted to w a r m weather. . . . Les Vaudevilles are now considered a Fashionable night's entertainment, superior to the dullness of a long tragedy or the heaviness of a five-act comedy. T h i s arrangement presents the visitors with continued amusement, without compelling them to remain the whole evening to see the end of a piece. T h e vaudevilles alluded to are found to be " T h e Dancing B a r b e r , " " D o e s Y o u r M o t h e r K n o w Y o u A r e O u t ? " , " T h e O r i g i n a l , " and " T h e Spitfire." 1839 F . C . Wemyss was surprised to be informed that, on signing the new lease for 1839—40, a stipulation would be inscribed by the stockholders as to the prices of admittance into their theatre. T h e notice thus given was that the Board of Agents had come to the conclusion not to renew W e m y s s ' lease unless he agreed to raise the price of admission to the pit to thirty-seven and a-half cents. T o this W e m y s s demurred, reasoning with the Board of Agents upon the fatal effects which would attend so injurious a measure as increasing upon the most popular branch of the audience one-third of the long established rates. A t half price, he argued, he had offered more successful novelties than the Chesnut (surnamed the aristocratic theatre, or " O l d D r u r y " ) , and, in spite of their foreign stars, had equaled them in popular attractions. A n d , certainly, he had satisfied the popular voice in cultivating and producing native talent. G . H . Freeman, w h o was the president of the Board, demanded compliance with the terms or vacation of the theatre by W e m y s s at the end of the lease. Wemyss was compelled to surrender, although he realized the ultimate folly of the step. M a y w o o d at the Chesnut, also, it is to be remembered, raised the prices. T h e public, however, refused to support such prices. In due course of time, after E . A . M a r s h a l l became lessee of the W a l n u t , circumstances had changed. T h e country had become remarkably prosperous. Commerce and our manufactories were flourishing, and fashion had assumed a patronizing air in the cause of art. [ 12 ]

THE T H E A T R E S by the New National Theatre on Monday. One week later, September 7, lights were on in the Arch, which, however, succumbed to darkness again after the performance of Saturday, September 19. T h e Walnut joined the Chesnut and the National on October 14, Wednesday, and the Arch came back on Tuesday, December 1. T h e four theatres then remained open for the rest of the year. T h e reader may be interested to know that the year 1840 marks a definite change in theatrical Philadelphia by the passing of the old régime of Francis C. Wemyss, veteran actor-manager. This year his stronghold at the Walnut which he held for so many years was closed to him. He was beginning to lose his foothold and his place of active prominence. Nothing is more indicative of the new order of things than Wemyss' own advertisement in the Inquirer of Sept. 7, on the eve of his unsuccessful first venture of the season at the Arch : Dinna Forget "Auld Lang Syne." The stars, being all engaged elsewhere, can only twinkle here occasionally. 1841 Since William Dinneford could not have the Walnut for 1 8 4 1 , as the stockholders awarded the lease to E. A. Marshall, the former took the lease of the Arch (August 10, 1841, opening night), where he had a certain amount of small success at the beginning, but he was finally compelled to close the doors before the year was out. Lewis T . Pratt announced the opening of the Chesnut under his management by saying that, during the summer recess, various alterations had been made: the panels of the boxes and proscenium altered and embellished by Gibson and Company, ornamental painters ; added private boxes designed and executed by Messrs. Cowperthwaite, upholsterers; stage supplied with new appointments of fashionable drawingroom furniture by Messrs. Cowperthwaite ; the scenic department carefully revised under the superintendence of the well-known artist, Charles Lehr. William E . Burton was still holding on to his New National in 1 8 4 1 . On June 12, Mitchell's Olympic Company from New York started an engagement there which was unsuccessful. T h e Arch was again to let, as it was frequently for many years, but in March, William Rufus Blake and William Jones took it over. E. A . Marshall continued at the Walnut.

[17]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E January i, 1841, found the four theatres running: the Walnut, the Arch, the National, and the Chesnut. T h e Arch dropped out with the performance of Tuesday, February 2, and during this same week the Chesnut, which was playing opera, was dark for several nights. Finally, it did close on Monday, March 2, leaving the field to the Walnut and the National. T h e Arch opened on Monday, April 5, and continued through the summer. The National closed on Saturday, April 24, in preparation for the melodrama of The Seven Champions of Christendom, with which it opened on Saturday, May 8, but only remained open for the ensuing week. T h e Chesnut again opened, with opera, on Saturday, May 1. The Walnut, the Chesnut, and the Arch continued alone until they were joined by the National on Saturday, June 12, with Mitchell's Olympic Company from New York. However, the opera season at the Chesnut was over on Monday, June 2 1 , and the theatre closed for the summer. Likewise, Mitchell's Olympic Company left the National on Monday, July 5, and that theatre closed. On the same night, the Arch finished out its season. These two theatres may have closed on the succeeding night, July 6. T h e date is not certain because no newspapers were published for J u l y 6, 1841. But it is certain that the Walnut continued along by itself until Wednesday, July 2 1 , when it, too, was darkened for the season. The Arch began the new fall season on Tuesday, August 10, to be joined by the National on Saturday, August 2 1 . T h e Walnut and the Chesnut both reopened the week afterward, Saturday, August 28. However, the Chesnut again closed on Wednesday, October 27, but it came to light in the last month, Thursday, December 2, and all four houses continued together during the remaining weeks of the year. In the seven years from 1835 to 1 8 4 1 , the most popular play on the Philadelphia stage was Shakespeare's Richard III, with eighty-three performances. No other play approached the record of Richard III, and its nearest competitors are Othello with fifty-seven presentations and Hamlet with fifty-three. It is to be remembered that at this time in the history of our Philadelphia stage, even the most popular new play (like London Assurance, for instance) never ran for more than two weeks, or three weeks, as a record performance, and was seldom revived. If a new play was revived months later in the same year, it ran only for a few nights. Following is a tabular arrangement to show the distribution of the [ 18]

1842 In the spring of 1842, the Arch was again in the market. M a n y more times it was so, in those days, and thus was conveniently open to any adventurer who could advance fifty dollars. Charles S. Porter, who had not been so pleasantly situated as he could have desired in any engagement after Wemyss' failure, this time took the Arch, expecting to benefit not only himself but also his son and daughter, both aspiring young professionals. Charles Durang, in the sixty-ninth chapter of his history, third series, tells us that the Arch was christened " T h e American" [by Porter] in contradistinction to the W a l n u t which did not then employ the title "the" as a prefix; at least, Wemyss says it was a fling at the Walnut's title, which was then called "American Theatre." T h e old "South Street Theatre," after the " N e w T h e a t r e " in Chesnut Street had been built in 1793, received the appellation of the " O l d American Theatre," and its company the " O l d American" in contradistinction to the new one. T h i s phrase, after it had died out by time, was again revived (not by the management, but by public sentiment) when Jones, Duffy, and W . Forrest became the lessees of the A r c h Street Theatre in 1832. T h e managers and the entire company, with one or two exceptions, being all native-born Americans. In the case of Porter, it was intended as a sneer upon those who had used the term, and had no claim to its application; but Porter soon withdrew the name from the head of his bill, as his corps was composed of mingled [19]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE nationalities of the four nations. T h e stage had English, Scotch, Irish, and natives, while the orchestra was composed of Germans and Italians. T h e A r c h , a f t e r a season of a f e w weeks, w a s closed to make new arrangements. C . S. Porter associated with him L e w i s T . Pratt when Hield was introduced as a leading tragedian and stage manager of the A r c h . T h e new organization of management under the rule of L . T . P r a t t and C . Porter proved, in a very short period, also visionary, as all the preceding managerial attempts at this theatre did at this time. T h e present season did not continue long and was divided into two periods of anarchy, intrigue, and tribulations, ending in dissolution. A f t e r the Porter (and P r a t t ) regime at the A r c h , T h o m a s B . Russell secured the theatre for f i f t y dollars paid to Lacour, President of the B o a r d of Agents. It w a s considered madness f o r Russell to take the house, but the result astonished everyone, for, in September, the public made a run on the theatre and pushed it to the pinnacle of success. Suddenly, when he had at least two thousand dollars in cash in his hands, Russell absconded like a thief, filching the actors' salaries. T h e National T h e a t r e , under Burton, closed on J a n u a r y 29, 1 8 4 2 , which w a s his last exit f r o m this temple of his own rearing and his fond hopes. T h e old Chesnut struggled on under Pratt. T h e W a l n u t seemed to float best through this turbulent sea of hard times. T h e season there, however, was brought to a close on M a y 7. E . A . M a r s h a l l , about this time, was induced to f o r m a coalition with L . T . P r a t t : a union of the forces at the W a l n u t and the Chesnut that, it w a s thought, no doubt would prove advantageous to both parties. W h a t e v e r the motives, the union was effected and as readily dissolved, presumably because the money advanced by M a r s h a l l w a s soon swallowed up by the losses sustained. A general suspension of theatricals seemed then to be the order of the day. O n M a r c h 2 3 , L . T . Pratt announced that he had formed a coalition with W . E . Burton, who with their double company would open " O l d D r u r y " w i t h the play of Money. T h e alliance might have availed both parties if it had been made sooner, but both men were doomed to lose by the arrangement. P . Richings was their stage manager, and the prices w e r e : boxes, seventy-five cents; pit, thirty-seven and a-half cents; colored gallery, twenty-five cents. T h e old policy w a s pursued. A host of stars entered perforce and cleaned the treasury of the little money that w a s floated into it. T h e National passed into the hands of G e n e r a l W e l c h and M a n n who converted it into a magnificent circus amphi[20]

THE THEATRES theatre which for a series of years they conducted with a great spirit, truly garnering Burton's harvest. T h e Chesnut Street Theatre, following the summer, was without a tenant. It had bankrupted the manager, L . T . Pratt. T h e stockholders had attributed the failures and reverses to Maywood's previous mismanagement and unpopular course. But of this conclusion they seemed to repent, and they invited Maywood at this time to renew his direction over the theatre. T h e i r changed feelings toward M a y w o o d must have come as a balm to his wounds. However, he wisely declined all responsibility and proposed his daughter, M a r y E . M a y w o o d , who had been in London with him, to be placed as its manager, he only assuming the business management. Peter Richings was appointed the stage manager. And this same year, on September 22, Miss Charlotte Cushman took over the management of E. A . Marshall's W a l n u t . Although Miss M a y w o o d fell to rise no more before the season half expired, Miss Cushman reigned a season with a varied prestige and, in the ensuing season, divided managerial honors with the august W i l l i a m R u f u s Blake. Durang makes the comment that the curse of this season, as of seasons tha: followed, was the vast multiplicity of stars, the majority of whom weie not above mediocrity of talent: excellent stock people whose only effects as stars were to impoverish the treasury and injure the interests of those called stock performers. On J a n u a r y I, 1 8 4 2 , the four theatres were all open, but the A r c h dropped out on Saturday, J a n u a r y 8. T h e National likewise dropped out on Saturday, J a n u a r y 29, and left the field to the Chesnut and the W i l n u t , which continued alone until the A r c h reopened on Monday, M i r c h 28. T h e Chesnut then closed on Tuesday, M a y 10, leaving the Arch and W a l n u t to continue until Tuesday, J u l y 26, when the W a l n u t cloied for the season. T h e Arch, however, remained open during the entire summer. The Chesnut began the fall season on Saturday, September 1 7 , and the W a l n u t on Thursday, September 22. A l l three houses remained optn through October and November. During the first week of D e cenber, the performances at the three houses are uncertain, but, by the seond week, the Arch had dropped out for the month, and the W a l n u t ani the Chesnut had resumed regular performances for the remaining w e k s of the year. !t is to be remembered that our early native playwrights had to fight [21]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE hard to be recognized in the face of the Anglomania f r o m which our country suffered. It seemed to be felt that even our plays needed to be stamped with a British trademark to assure them certain success. T h e r e is the famous case of the new American play which was, at its opening, falsely represented as the latest w o r k of a well-known British dramatist. A n d it w a s not until days later, when the success of the piece had been established, that the producer had the temerity to announce that the play was actually written by a new and native artist. W e catch the undercurrent of this spirit in the w a y that dramas were frequently advertised. F o r instance, many times a program announces a new play in the fashion that w e find under date of October 24, 1 8 4 2 , for the C h e s n u t : "The Banker, a new and original comedy written by the author of Abduction, Kate Kearney, and The Queen's Jewels." Or, again, from time to time, w e have the announcement, " B e n e f i t Night For T h e Author Of T h e Last N e w P l a y . "

1843 T h e Olympic T h e a t r e , formerly Burton's National, was opened on September 1 3 , 1 8 4 3 , with F . C . W e m y s s and J o h n H . O x l e y as lessees. E . A . M a r s h a l l , w h o defeated Pratt and W e m y s s in their attempt to obtain the Chesnut in partnership this year, opened the house in September for the purpose of playing the great stars, and closed after a short season on December 25, repairing to his W a l n u t Street T h e a t r e , which had been occupied f o r a period by H o w e ' s Equestrian T r o u p e . E . A . M a r s h a l l this year controlled both the W a l n u t and the Chesnut. H e had the interior of the latter theatre redecorated and painted. N e w proscenium boxes were added to those already erected and fashionable furniture w a s placed in them. A superior new drop curtain was painted by Peter G r a i n , J r . W i l l i a m R u f u s B l a k e was appointed stage manager ; and M i s s Charlotte Cushman, acting manager. T h e prices to the boxes were seventy-five cents and to the pit fifty cents. F r a n k Cline w a s the leader of the orchestra, and Cunnington the conductor. M a r s h a l l opened his campaign with a series of the old English comedies and played until September 1 4 , when he opened the W a l n u t with his dramatic company. T h e French opera troupe commenced at the Chesnut on September 20.

Company.

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E T h e program of the first included the production of Lucia Di Lammermoor, II Puritani, Norma, Belisario, and Gemma Di Vergy, and of the latter, Les Diamans De La Couronne, Le Domino Noir, Le Grace De Dieu, La Fille Du Regiment, Le Postillion De Lonjumeau, and Anna Bolena. Occasionally in the district of Northern Liberties, that is, outside the central theatre belt of the city, a German company spasmodically produced an opera, and the Chesnut frequently included opera as a part of its regular entertainment, with visiting leads, but the year of 1843 brings us two foreign companies that are entities in themselves, and the season might well be called the year for the opera. 1844 T h e season of Wemyss and Oxley's management of the National was brought to a close April 27, 1844, the theatre being open 185 performing nights. T h e only persons who derived any benefit from its operations were the original lessees, Welch and Mann. One wonders why Wemyss and Oxley failed. T h e theatre was splendid and the location excellent, but the current of public favor is hard to fathom. Perhaps there were more amusements than Philadelphians could support at that time. John Oxley relinquished his share in the management at the close of the season, while Wemyss continued his lesseeship. He made strenuous exertions for another season, but the reopening in May was blighted by the unfortunate riots which occurred in Kensington and Southwark, where bloodshed and murder seemed to reign madly triumphant. T h e military were called out and these districts placed under martial law. T h e city heard the booming of midnight cannon. On the very day that Wemyss announced the opening of his theatre, the proclamation of military rule went into effect, and, in consequence, no person could think of public amusements during the next two weeks. A f t e r order was restored, Wemyss struggled on for some time to miserable houses, but at last yielded to stern necessity and closed his doors. He surrendered the theatre to General Welch and Co., who subsequently established, with their large means, a most splendid amphitheatre wherein first-class circus and stage performances were given for many successful seasons, until it was destroyed by fire, with the Chinese Museum, on the evening of J u l y 5, 1854·

[24]

THE THEATRES On June i, 1844, William E . Burton opened the Arch for the summer season. Many thought that this was a perilous undertaking: to saddle oneself with a theatre that seemed doomed. T h e prices were: boxes, fifty cents; second tier, twenty-five cents; colored gallery, twentyfive cents; but it did not pay. Burton commenced his campaign with a very meager corps, and no vaunting promises. He gradually expanded his operations as his strength of talent accumulated, but his final success depended upon, and was triumphantly gained, by playing burlettas with a small, select company. When E. A. Marshall retired from the Chesnut in 1844, L . T . Pratt was again induced to take the house and associated F. C. Wemyss with him. John Sefton was the stage manager. T h e prices were: boxes, fifty cents ; pit, twenty-five cents ; colored gallery, twenty-five cents. T h e venture, however, was not successful. A serious event occurred early in the season and almost closed the doors of the Chesnut. George Lippard had written a book called The Monks of Monk Hall, which was an exposé of the profligacy of the "powerful wealthy" in Philadelphia. T h e book created a sensation and, at the suggestion of Ashbel Green, Deputy Attorney-General, Wemyss agreed to produce it. Lippard made his own dramatization of it into a play called The Quaker City. And then the fun began. T h e "powerful wealthy," such as Singleton, Mercer, Judge Conrad, and others, made a tremendous demonstration against the presentation of it. Matters became so embroiled that Wemyss was beset on all sides : with his stockholders, Mayor Peter M c C a l l of Philadelphia, the "powerful wealthy" themselves, and law and order in general. Any possible success that the season might have brought to Wemyss and Pratt was forestalled by the untimely fate of The Quaker City, on whose preparation they lost much money. And the subsequent disfavor of the public caused the houses to thin out, since the press took up the ma;ter over the whole country and accused Wemyss of trying to force an immoral and objectionable play upon the public. January 1844 fostered three theatres: the Walnut, the National, and the Arch. A t the beginning of February, the Arch discontinued for two weeks, and by the end of the month it closed down, not to reopen for months. The dramatic field was left to the Walnut and the National, which were joined on Monday, April 1, by the Chesnut with opera. T h e opera lasied until Tuesday, April 23. Several nights later the National, also, [25]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE w a s darkened, but reopened again in the middle of M a y for a short season which only endured the rest of the month. O p e r a again came to the Chesnut on Saturday, M a y 25. Lights were on in the A r c h , Saturday, J u n e 1 . T h e r e f o r e , the beginning of J u n e furnished Philadelphia theatre-goers with a choice of three theatres: the W a l n u t , the Chesnut, or the A r c h . Opera at the Chesnut was once more finished, however, on J u n e 4. T h e W a l n u t and the A r c h carried through the entire summer and were not joined by another theatre until the Chesnut opened on M o n d a y , October 1 4 . F r o m then until the end of the year, performances at the three theatres continued regularly. W i l l i a m E . B u r t o n , upon opening the A r c h in J u n e , made the following announcement of unusual interest: T o render the A r c h St. T h e a t r e in every w a y worthy a liberal support, the T h i r d T i e r Nuisance will be abolished ; improper characters will be prevented f r o m obtaining admission to any part of the house ; and the sale of alcohol, in any shape, will be discontinued in the saloons. In sacrificing the large profits attending these usual practices of all other theatres, now attempted f o r the first time in the United States, W . E . Burton looks f o r a compensation in the more frequent attendance of families, w h o may depend upon experiencing at the A r c h St. T h e a t r e a wholesome entertainment of the highest character, without the possibility of witnessing an impropriety either on or off the stage.

1845 Burton, in 1 8 4 5 , became the lessee of both the A r c h and the Chesnut, and kept them open at the same time. T h e members of his two companies played alternately, as circumstances required, at either the one or the other house. E . A . M a r s h a l l retained the W a l n u t , with his well organized forces, under the stage guidance of W i l l i a m R u f u s Blake. Burton commenced the winter campaign at the Chesnut, August 30, announcing that the house w a s entirely renovated and brilliantly decorated in every part. T h e dress circle lobby w a s carpeted, newly papered and painted. A l l the other lobbies were also thus improved. Burnished gold ornaments of chaste appropriate designs were placed around the three tiers of boxes. T h e proscenium ornaments were of the most gorgeous patterns, profusely decorated w i t h arabesque devices in green and gold. Stage doors were added, new draperies were placed over the private boxes, to move at pleasure. A new drop curtain, representing the city and bay of Naples, with a view of Vesuvius, was painted by [26]

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E urday, September 6, until the house was lighted again on Wednesday, October i. T h e three theatres then performed their dramas regularly through October and November to the middle of December, when the Chesnut inaugurated the practice of forsaking the legitimate drama occasionally for legerdemain, which it introduced upon its boards spasmodically during the remainder of the month. An interesting side-light is thrown upon the life in the old theatre buildings by an advertisement in the Public Ledger for Monday, December 29, 1845. It reads: Chesnut street theatre—To let, the Pit Bar, Oyster and Fruit Stands, in said theatre—also, the Third T i e r Bar. Intimate knowledge is thus given to us of the specific manner in which our ancestors regaled themselves during the intermissions: they not only drank intoxicating beverages, but they also gulped oysters and munched fruit. T o those of us who take our theatre seriously, the gentle art of eating during a play is very disconcerting. Somehow the indiscriminate consumption of ineffable confections by the noisy mandibles of our neighbors slightly disturbs the intellectual morale which we like to preserve in justice to the play in progress,—to say nothing of what it does to the illusion of the play-world which the actors struggle so hard to create. For instance, oranges are delightful for breakfast, but the present writer does not think that even the person of Nell Gwynn herself selling them in the theatre could compensate for the odorous curtain which they would throw up between the stage and the spectators. W e have traveled far from those days when theatres were also lunch rooms, but we are still disturbed occasionally by hawkers of candy. May their tribe decrease ! 1846 T h e Arch closed its season suddenly on January 24, 1846, but Burton announced that it would soon be reopened for a short season, prior to its being closed for the purpose of extensive alterations since he intended to place the theatre in the first rank of dramatic establishments. T h e company there was excellent, with J . M . Scott as acting manager and Stevens as stage manager. T h e prices were: dress circle, fifty cents; second and third tiers, twenty-five cents; pit, twelve and a-half cents; and gallery, twelve and a-half cents. [28]

T h e renovating and t h o r o u g h l y redecorating of the theatres at the b e g i n n i n g of every n e w season w a s really a v e r y questionable o u t l a y of money.

T h e best b o w e r anchor ahead, in our opinion, w a s a good stock company, w i t h one or t w o of the prominent fashionable actors. A s the m a n a g e r s ran a f t e r the stars, so did they in the same ratio enhance their demands. T h i s star system, a f t e r having been carried out to its tether in all o u r cities, began to s h o w symptoms of a decline. T h e P a r k T h e a t r e , the grand metropolitan theatre of the c o u n t r y , w h i c h o r i g i n a l l y had imported these kinds of theatrical goods, n o w became hopelessly embarrassed f r o m these heedless importations, but pertinaciously adhered to its course.

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE relatively reduced. I t w o u l d seem that M r . E . A . M a r s h a l l had secured the principal stars this season, and that B u r t o n relied more upon his resources of a v e r y good w o r k i n g company, and n e w attractive dramas of the scenic kind, w i t h the novelty of the clever R a v e l s and e x t r a amusements not to be legitimately included in the d r a m a t i c category. It must be admitted also that B u r t o n w a s " a host" w i t h i n himself, and his l e a d i n g people w e r e good and great favorites w i t h his audience. A t this time, a temporary theatre had been erected in the grand dancing saloon of the old M a s o n i c H a l l , C h e s n u t Street, w h i c h had been occupied as Peale's M u s e u m , w h e r e i n numerous theatrical pieces had been given f r o m time to time bv disengaged p e r f o r m e r s f r o m the other theatres.

One of the amusements of the day was the circus or, more definitely, the hippodrome. Certain theatres were manned by equestrian troupes who performed in as many ways as possible with their horses, even presenting occasional dramas that permitted equestrian processions, combats, and feats of skill. A n d on October 5, 1846, the National T h e a t r e , which Burton initiated so gloriously several years earlier as the finest house of legitimate drama in the United States, became a circus.

T h e other two theatres kept the field to themselves until the Arch reopened on Thursday, M a r c h 25. T h e Chesnut, with Seguin and Frazer's opera company, opened its doors on Monday, April 5. W i t h the performance of Saturday, A p r i l 24, Peale's Museum closed in preparation for a series of new dramas which were introduced to the theatregoers of Philadelphia on Monday, M a y 3. O n Saturday, J u n e 5, Seguin and Frazer closed the Chesnut and dissolved partnership. Peale's M u seum discontinued the performance of legitimate drama after Saturday, J u l y 17. T h e A r c h and the W a l n u t now carried through the summer by themselves, and met no new rival in their theatrical field for the entire remainder of the year, through August to the end of December. T h e lively spirit of competition which existed among the theatres is very amusingly and very humanly shown in the following series of four advertisements appearing in the daily newspapers during 1 8 4 7 : Feb. 16.

THE THEATRES Feb. i6th, 18+7. T o the Editor of the N e w Y o r k Herald : — DEAR SIR—In your columns of yesterday, and of the day previous, I noticed among the Theatrical Items, a statement to the effect that " L e s Danseuses Viennoises" are engaged at the W a l n u t Street Theatre, Philadelphia. T h i s , I beg leave to state, is erroneous, as Madame Weiss long since engaged the services of " L e s Danseuses Viennoises" to M r . Burton, of the Arch Street Theatre, at which place they are shortly to appear. Yours, &c., JOHN

A R C H S T R E E T T H E A T R E — T h e management of the Park Theatre, N e w Y o r k , having interfered with the arrangement of M a dame Weiss, the Directress of LES DANSEUSES VIENNOISES, These interesting performers can not appear at the Arch Street Theatre during the whole of the present week. T h e manager deeply regrets the present disappointment of his patrons, but feels assured that many days will not elapse before he shall have the honor of presenting the children to their notice. Those persons wishing to withdraw their certificates can have their money returned. M a r c h 22. P. L . W A L N U T S T R E E T T H E A T R E — L e s s e e , M r . E. A .

I n 1 8 4 8 , he had practically a monopoly upon the n e w visiting players of long and short engagements. T h e reader has only to look at the chapter of text w h i c h enumerates the additional actors f o r 1 8 4 8 , and he w i l l find proof of B u r t o n ' s monopoly.

theatres combined. I n d u b i t a b l y , it is important that n e w plays shall be given a hearing, and B u r t o n w a s doing this. H e is the f i g u r e that stands at the keystone of the P h i l a d e l p h i a theatre t h r o u g h the fifth decade of the N i n e t e e n t h C e n t u r y . 1849 A f t e r the r e g u l a r d r a m a t i c companies had ceased to p e r f o r m at the C h e s n u t S t r e e t T h e a t r e f o r lack of p a t r o n a g e f r o m a fashionable public, the several o p e r a corps of I t a l i a n s and the S e g u i n E n g l i s h troupe occupied it f o r brief seasons of f o u r and six w e e k s , as circumstances required. I t then w a s occupied in portions of 1 8 4 8 , and in the w i n t e r and spring of 1 8 4 9 , by the V i r g i n i a Serenaders and other black-faced comedians. I n the s u m m e r , J .

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E brought out a dramatic company. Vaudevilles and farces were acted : The Day After the Wedding, A Glance at Philadelphia, and others. On September i, 1849, the Chesnut Street Theatre opened for a regular season, under the stage and acting management of Joseph Foster. T h e lessee was supposed to be James Quinlan, acting silently. T h e prices were very low: first tier and parquet, twenty-five cents; second and third tiers, twelve and a-half cents; colored gallery, twenty-five cents. This was done to make a select place for the colored people, but they never gave it any support. T h e Chesnut Street Theatre drew its slow length along under the Foster régime and the Quinlan silent direction until it gave up the ghost some time in March or April. No advertisements appeared at all at that time. The year of 1849 was the last for William E. Burton at the Arch. He left for New York where he continued to produce successfully and perhaps more profitably. Ethelbert A . Marshall continued as lessee of the Walnut which, under his direction, was the prime theatrical house in Philadelphia. The year of 1849 began with four theatres open: the Arch, the Walnut, the Athenaeum, and the Chesnut, but the Chesnut closed with the performance on January 3, and the Athenaeum discontinued legitimate performance, Saturday, January 27. The Arch and the Walnut then had the theatrical field to themselves until Peale's Philadelphia Museum started on Wednesday, April 25, 1849, but Peale's Museum ceased to play legitimate drama after Wednesday, June 6. T h e Arch dropped out after the performance of Wednesday, June 20, and the Walnut closed for the season on Saturday, June 23. Therefore there was no advertised theatre playing legitimate drama in Philadelphia until Wednesday, June 27, when Peale's Philadelphia Museum presented a dramatic company for the summer. Peale's Museum had no competitor and closed its season on Saturday, July 28. There was, then, no advertised legitimate house open in Philadelphia until the middle of the next month, when the Arch and the Chesnut both opened on Wednesday, August 15, 1849. T h e Chesnut, however, only enjoyed a short run, for it closed again in two weeks, on Tuesday, August 28. The Arch continued alone until the first of September, when a new dramatic company appeared at the Chesnut. A week later, Monday, September 10, the Walnut also opened. T h e national was lighted for five nights, beginning Monday, October 8, [36]

brightly in the

Arch, the W a l n u t and the Chesnut during October and

November.

However, by T u e s d a y , December u , the Chesnut became dark for the rest of the year. Is it worth while or is it even interesting to raise the question : W h a t was a " F r e e and

Easy?"

EASY—AT EVENING,

T h e first advertisement certainly recorded a grand occasion ( w i t h 2,300 square feet to move around i n ) , but the second comes to a closer approximation of the normal or domestic variety of " F r e e and E a s y . " I have been told by men whose memory is coeval with the early years of the " F r e e and E a s y " in Philadelphia, that it was a custom English in origin. Certain saloons, perhaps one evening a week, served as the centers for song. In their back rooms gathered men who could sing, and men who could listen. Sometimes a singer of mild fame was present as the celebrity of the evening. Usually, after one man had presented his favorite song to his audience of jovial listeners, someone else volunteered a song of his own choosing and his own singing. Everyone sang what he w i s h e d ; everyone sang when he wished. H o w e v e r , there w a s a certain orderliness, because every man was duly heard and given the floor f o r his vocal outburst. Each took his turn in supplying music for the general entertainment. Frequently young singers (and old) trying to get a foothold on the stage or before the public made their debut in the " F r e e and E a s y . " A n d many a famous ballad first rang out its tale of sentimentality in the " F r e e and E a s y , " and, with its soul-stirring words, bedimmed the eyes of men with tears. A very pleasant evening was spent in singing, and in wetting one's lips so that one could sing again. [37]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE 1850 W i t h Burton's departure from the A r c h Street T h e a t r e , E . S. Conner became its lessee and advertised ior a company to open on M a r c h 4, 1 8 5 0 . T h e prices w e r e : boxes, fifty cents; pit, twelve and a-half cents; colored gallery, twelve and a-half cents. Conner made it a rule to admit no one behind the scenes except a member of the company. T h e house had fallen into much disrepute at the period when Conner became the lessee, in consequence of the indecorous behavior of the audience. T h e pit especially was unruly, and too often the upper tier of boxes. T h r o u g h stringent police power, order was comparatively obtained. D u r i n g M a y , on the occasion of M i s s Charlotte Cushman's appearance, Conner made public the following card : M r . E . S. Conner presents his compliments to the stockholders of the theatre and to the gentlemen of the Press, and respectfully requests, as a personal favor, that they will occupy the boxes appropriated to their use. T h e enormous expense attending Miss Cushman's engagement renders it necessary that all possible room be given f o r the accommodation of the public at l a r g e ; and the manager feels assured that his friends will comply with his request, and not leave their own boxes empty to occupy seats in the front which otherwise would add to the treasury. H e would further add, that notwithstanding the collection of a sterling, expensive stock corps and the engagement of first rate, celebrated auxiliaries, he has not advanced the terms of admission, though urged to do so. H e therefore begs to remind his friends and patrons of this fact, and hopes for their cooperation in this arduous endeavor to maintain a popular house, one adapted to all classes of the community. It is therefore necessary to announce that the free list must be suspended entirely. Charles D u r a n g , in the ninety-eighth chapter of his history, third series, assures us that it was bad policy for Conner to suggest a modification in the free use of privileges or the moderate exercise of them as exerted by the stockholders, and that it was the first w r o n g direction of his management, finally losing his theatre for him in 1 8 5 1 . E . S. Conner did f a l l into difficulties with the stockholders of the A r c h Street T h e a t r e this year. H e issued proposals, then, f o r a new theatre to be located somewhere above Sixth Street, in C a l l o w h i l l ; and another suggestion was made to locate it in Spring G a r d e n Street, near Eighth, or at the corner of those streets. A prospectus w a s issued for " C o n n e r ' s L y c e u m , " and G . Parker Cummings, an architect of Philadelphia, furnished a plan for him, which was exhibited in one of the [38]

THE THEATRES picture stores in Chesnut Street for some time. T h e design seemed feasible and beautiful, but the project finally was abandoned. O n September 7, the new theatre in Coates Street was opened under the management of Cornelius Logan, with Francis C . Wemyss as the silent partner. O n Monday, August 19, Barnum's Museum opened with a dramatic company. Charles D u r a n g tells us in the one hundred and third chapter of his history of the Philadelphia stage, third series, that on J u l y 20, 1 8 5 0 , Barnum announced that his own interest in the M u seum had ceased. C . Spooner became the proprietor. A t the beginning of the autumn of 1 8 5 0 , no regular plan had been adopted to organize a theatrical company at the Chesnut for the season of 1 8 5 0 - 5 1 . A M r . Whipples occupied the house for a time with an exhibition of dissolving v i e w s — a diorama. In November 1 8 5 0 a splendid scheme of presenting the Italian opera was offered to the Philadelphia public by M a x Maretzek, the great opera and concert meister. T h e following was the operatic proposal : November 1 5 t h . — I t a l i a n opera.—Max M a r e t z e k proposes to open in December a series of Italian operas, in the same style of grandeur and magnificence as they are produced at the Astor Opera House at N e w Y o r k . T h e programme will show that the Director's determination is not to establish a mere branch in a neighboring city, but to avail himself of the existing facility of communication, in a manner that all the operatic novelties brought out in N e w Y o r k may be represented in succession, and with the aid of all the artistes, and all other accessories that have been given so successfully at N e w Y o r k . It is the Director's intention to establish a regular permanent opera in Philadelphia. H e therefore proposes, and trusts to realize those well founded hopes, through the well known musical taste and liberal patronage ever elicited and extended to opera in this city. H e now proposes a series of fifteen nights, to which this first season is limited. . . . T h e prices will be the same as at N e w Y o r k . Secured seats, $ 1 . 5 0 ; box and parquette seats, $ 1 ; on M i l e . Parodi's nights, secured seats $ 2 . 5 0 ; evening's performances, $2. Prices of subscription, to afford facilities to those persons who regularly wish to attend the opera, the Director has fixed the price of admission to subscribers at $ 2 0 for the fifteen nights. T h e above notice by M . M a r e t z e k appeared in the newspapers of the day f o r November 1 5 . T h e s e Italian arrangements, however, underwent a slight change. T h e subscriptions did not fill up as advantageously as anticipated, so E d w a r d [39]

Lessees seemed to come and go at the A r c h and at the Chesnut, but E . A . M a r s h a l l seemed to go on forever at the W a l n u t , where he remained during 1 8 5 0 and during many years thereafter. T h e Arch, the W a l n u t , and the Chesnut began the year of 1 8 5 0 , but the A r c h was closed a f t e r the performance of W e d n e s d a y , J a n u a r y 2. T h e Chesnut and the W a l n u t continued alone until they w e r e again joined by the A r c h on M o n d a y , M a r c h 4. A l l three theatres remained in active service during M a r c h , A p r i l , M a y , and J u n e . It w a s not until T h u r s d a y , J u l y 4, that the W a l n u t brought its season to a close. A t the end of the month, W e d n e s d a y , J u l y 3 1 , the Chesnut also closed f o r the summer. T h e A r c h was the only summer theatre running until M o n d a y , A u g u s t 19, when the W a l n u t and B a r n u m ' s M u s e u m opened with legitimate drama. T h e Chesnut opened on M o n d a y , September 9. However, the operatic season at the Chesnut w a s finished by T u e s d a y , September 24, and the other three theatres continued without the Chesnut through October and November. O n T u e s d a y , December 10, the Chesnut reopened for another run of opera on several evenings every week during the month. T h e United States Gazette and North American, daily paper, for September 4, 1 8 5 0 , tells us that there swept down through the Schuylkill V a l l e y , on the night of September 2, 1 8 5 0 , the worst freshet in the history of Philadelphia. T h e morning of September 3 found the flood of serious proportions, following a torrential storm, which had spread over the upper Schuylkill and Lehigh valleys. A l l through the third September day, the w a t e r continued to rise until, at the peak of the flood, it w a s almost eleven feet above the top of Fairmount D a m . Roads and bridges had been wiped out, the Falls and M a n a y u n k bridges swept away, the N o r r i s t o w n Railroad put out of service, the Schuylkill C a n a l wrecked, and the banks of the lower river washed out. East and west of the river many householders found themselves marooned, but the most striking effect of the flood w a s that it plunged the city into darkness. A t this period of our history, people who did not use candles to light their homes w e r e dependent upon the gas supplied from the city w o r k s at the M a r k e t Street crossing of the river. T h e flood suspended operation of the works and the gas left in the mains was soon used up, f o r the reserve supply was small. [40]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E until it was joined by the National on Tuesday, July 15, 1 8 5 1 . At the end of the month, the Arch also was closed. The National was the only legitimate house advertised in the papers during the first two weeks of August. On Monday, August 18, lights were on at the Chesnut for the fall season and at the Arch on Saturday, August 30, one month after its closing. On Monday, August 18, the Walnut opened and the National was dark. On Monday, September 1, Barnum's Museum was again active. Therefore, the first of September saw the four theatres of the Walnut, the Chesnut, the Arch, and Barnum's Museum harnessed together for the fall entertainment of the city of Philadelphia. These four theatres continued in uninterrupted performances during the remaining months of September, October, November, and December. T h e Public Ledger for July 10, 1 8 5 1 , bears the following very interesting announcement which is testimony to the early and spasmodic efforts of actors to give protection to their own: A M E R I C A N D R A M A T I C F U N D ASSOCIATION—Incorporated April 16th, 1848—open alike to every Actor or Actress in the United States, without restriction from age or length of services in any particular T H E A T R E , T O W N O R C I T Y .

T h e present writer also recalls an announcement in the Public Ledger of the year previous pointing attention to the Grand Fancy and Citizens' Dress Ball, to be given at the Chinese Museum, April 22, 1850, by " T h e Actors' Order of Friendship," tickets at three dollars to admit one gentleman and two ladies. 1852 T h e National Theatre, known at this time as Welch's National Circus and Theatre, was supplied this year with a dramatic company, as w e l l as an equestrian troupe. T h e treasurer was C . H . Russell; stage manager, S. E . Harris (Wesley Barmore), the original Uncle T o m ; equestrian manager, J . M . N i x o n ; director of equestrian spectacles, S. P. Stickney; scenic artist, John W i s e r ; prompter, J . B. Addis. T h e prices of admission were: parquet and dress circle, fifty cents; family circle, twenty-five cents; gallery, Uvelve and a-half cents; seats in private boxes, seventy-five cents; full private boxes, six to nine dollars. A f t e r a long winter and spring season, the National closed for six weeks, to reopen as a dramatic, operatic, and pantomimic theatre only. D u r i n g the summer of 1852, C . Logan was the acting manager of the Chesnut Street Theatre, but James Quinlan was still the lessee, although his name did not appear on any of the bills. T h e season was successful and the theatre only closed for one night to prepare for the fall and winter activities. D u r i n g the winter, W . S. Fredericks was again acting manager; Mueller, leader of the orchestra; Lingard, prompter and deputy stage director; C . Long, property man. T h e prices of admission were: dress circle and parquet, fifty cents; second tier and family circle, twenty-five

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE cents; third tier, twenty-five cents; proscenium boxes, five d o l l a r s ; private boxes, holding twelve persons, nine dollars ; single seats in private boxes, seventy-five cents. T h e A r c h Street T h e a t r e commenced its regular f a l l and

winter

season on Saturday, A u g u s t 2 1 , 1 8 5 2 , with T h o m a s J . Hemphill as lessee, A . W . Fenno as stage manager, and J . Ingles M a t t h i a s as treasurer. D u r i n g the summer the house had been much altered. T h e formation of the old pit seats had been changed into the parquet style, at that time being introduced in the foreign theatres. It was thereby spaciously enlarged, rendering it capable of seating over five hundred persons. T h e interior had been painted ; the lobby w a l l s and boxes papered ; the fronts of the boxes decorated with classical devices, and the paneling regilded. T h e orchestra boxes w e r e furnished with new lounges of crimson damask, and the seats stuffed and covered w i t h Brussels carpeting. T h e stock scenery was repainted with several new scenes and there w a s a drop curtain by Heister. E . A . M a r s h a l l reopened the W a l n u t for the f a l l and winter season on M o n d a y , A u g u s t 30, 1 8 5 2 . D u r i n g the long summer recess, the theatre had undergone complete and extensive alterations under the supervision of the celebrated architect, R . Hoxie. T h e principal feature of its interior reconstruction was the very commodious and comfortable enlargement of the parquet, which was extended beneath the dress circle to the foundation walls. T h e r e w e r e two large stairways leading from the lobby of the first tier to the parquet on both sides. Rich and magnificent orchestral arrangements w e r e constructed in the nature of stalls, as in the L o n d o n theatres, with cushioned seats. T h e proscenium was considerably widened, assisting the perspective qualities of the stage. T h e r e w e r e also introduced novel facilities f o r heating the entire building during the winter. T h e enlargement of the upper tier, with new and extensive appliances f o r ventilation, promenading avenues, exit and entrance passages to seats, a thorough repainting, papering and decorating, an entire refitting of the gas pipes and fixtures, which were set off with new and brilliant chandeliers, offered to the public, as was claimed in the play-bill, " a n establishment of capacity, elegance, sound, and ventilation unapproachable by any other in the United States, except the Broadw a y T h e a t r e of N e w Y o r k [which w a s M a r s h a l l ' s a l s o ] — t h e entire expense of this elaborate alteration having amounted to the immense sum of upwards of ten thousand dollars." [44]

THE THEATRES T h e first of J a n u a r y , 1 8 5 2 , found the three theatres of the W a l n u t , the Chesnut, and the A r c h giving performances, but the third of J a n u ary w a s the last night for legitimate drama at the A r c h during the engagement of Macallister, the magician. T h e W a l n u t and the Chesnut continued without the A r c h until the latter theatre again reverted to regular drama on Saturday, February 28, 1 8 5 2 . T h e A r c h again w i t h d r e w a f t e r Saturday, M a y 1 5 , but its place was taken f o r several nights during the ensuing week by the National. T h e Chesnut brought its season to a close on Saturday, J u n e 19, and the W a l n u t on Saturday, J u n e 26. It was not until M o n d a y , J u l y 1 2 , that the summer theatres began to play legitimate drama once more. A t that time, the Chesnut and the National opened and continued alone until they were joined by the A r c h on Saturday, A u g u s t 2 1 , and by the W a l n u t on M o n d a y , A u g u s t 30. T h e first of September, therefore, discovered the four theatres of the National, the A r c h , the Chesnut, and the W a l n u t in f u l l swing for the f a l l season. W i t h the night of M o n d a y , October 2 5 , the National dropped out, and left the other three theatres to run along undisturbed during November and December. Between the play and the farce, a song or a dance w a s sometimes given. Frequently these interludes w e r e featured if the dance happened to be a pas seul by Miss Clemens, or a character-song by W i l l i a m E . Burton or J i m C r o w Rice. T h e ballet and interpretative dancing frequently displaced the play proper, particularly when a troupe like the R a v e l family was engaged to perform its repertoire of such "ballets d'action" like Godenski, La Fête Champêtre, Möns, de Chalumeau, and the Venetian Carnival. W h e n such a troupe occupied the theatre, usually only one farce constituted the legitimate drama f o r the evening, and at the most, two farces, since there was not time for full-length drama. On M e m o r i a l days, an historical recitation often served as the interlude, and at other times, legerdemain and feats of contortion when Signor Somebody-or-other would profess to be a human fly or the ninth wonder of the w o r l d . 1853 It is a matter of difficulty at this period of the history of the Chesnut Street T h e a t r e to give anything like a connected account of its seasons. [45]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E Sometimes it was closed and sometimes it was opened, quite spasmodically. However, it may be said never to have closed in regular seasons during the Quinlan régime, which expired in 1854. Occasionally it was open during the summer of 1853 without any advertisements, even in the Ledger. W e have authority for this statement in the one hundred and ninth chapter of Charles Durang's history, third series. T . J . Hemphill continued as lessee of the Arch, and with the spring season in March announced W . Wheatley as acting manager and W . Fredericks as stage manager of the theatre. By August 20, 1853, W m . Wheatley and John Drew became lessees of the Arch. W . S. Fredericks was the acting and stage manager ; Wm. Reed, the prompter and stage director; George Wunderlich, the scenic artist; F. Johnston, the costumer; John Scott, the machinist; Alfred King, the property man; and J . Ingles Matthias, the treasurer. The prices of admission were: boxes and parquet, seventy-five cents; orchestra stalls, fifty cents; seats in private boxes, seventy-five cents; gallery, twelve and a-half cents; gallery boxes for colored people, thirty-seven and a-half cents ; and the colored gallery, twenty-five cents. E. A . Marshall continued as lessee of the Walnut Street Theatre. T h e Chesnut, the Arch, and the Walnut were running with the beginning of the year of 1853. T h e Arch closed with the performance of Saturday, January 15, but reopened on Saturday, January 29. The three theatres continued regularly during February, March, and April, but the advertisements for the Walnut are sparse during the month of May. T h e Arch was closed for the summer with the performance of Saturday, June l i , 1853, although an occasional performance was given there during July and August. With the performance of Saturday, June 25, the Walnut brought its season to a close. T h e Chesnut proceeded alone during July until it was joined by the National for several nights during the last week of the month. By Tuesday, August 30, 1853, the Arch, Chesnut, and Walnut were again running regularly and continued to run regularly during September, October, November, and December. There were many newspaper advertisements of amusements which do not come within the province of a history of the theatre. Advertisements for the "Free and Easy," for concerts, for feats of skill and magic, all helped to make the newspaper section headed "Amusements" into a half-column every day. Let us take any day, say August 27, 1853, (as [46]

J E N K I N S T h e unrivalled Comedian and Vocalist. MR. JOHNSON T h e renowned Comedian and Delineator of Eccentric Character, and MR. THIODON T h e justly acknowledged Prince of Violinists. Concerts Free. T o commence at o'clock, precisely. 1854 In 1854 James Quinlan, a hotel keeper at the northwest corner of Ninth and Market Streets, had to relinquish the Chesnut. " O l d Drury," after about sixty years of life, was falling upon evil days and losing its prestige. On June 3, 1854, the National Theatre being to let, Quinlan became its lessee. He had also, for many years, been a renter of the Walnut Street Theatre saloons, and other theatrical bars about the city, whereby he had accumulated a comfortable fortune. He had also been a lessee of the Chesnut for about five years during its last days. Charles Durang, in the one hundred and thirtieth chapter of his history, third series, tells us that Quinlan's chief interest in any theatre was the sale of liquor, and that the dramatic entertainment took second place to the liquid entertainment. Quinlan opened the National Theatre for a summer season in 1854. Thomas McKeon was stage manager; John Addis, stage director; and Professor Mueller, musical director. One month after Quinlan opened the National this summer, the theatre was totally destroyed by fire. Charles Durang gives us a very interesting account of this fire (c. 130, 3d series) : T h e Circus took fire after the performance of Putnam, and was soon burned down, together with the Chinese Museum, at the corner of Ninth and Sansom streets, and several houses in the row on the north [48]

THE THEATRES side of Sansom street. T h e roof of the new G i r a r d Hotel caught fire, but was soon extinguished, although some of the engines could not reach the top of the edifice. T h e catastrophe w a s a w f u l , as it embraces a vast extent of property in the various courses which the conflagration oddly took. T h e old B l u e Bell T a v e r n on Eighth street, very strangely, although surrounded by flames, escaped their f u r y . It had been a dram shop for many years. H o w the Circus caught fire was a matter of conjecture. It w a s said that the wadding of the muskets fired by the soldiery at P u t n a m during his descent had lodged in the scenery and ignited its combustible materials. A g a i n it was said that some of the supernumeraries engaged in these show plays had not been paid their nightly stipends, and they had revolted several times in consequence. O n e of them, it was rumored, w a s overheard to say that he " w o u l d be revenged," and also said something about making " a blazing last scene." T h e place where the fire was first discovered would seem to confirm the latter surmise, it being in the carpenter-shop, away f r o m the stage, on the east side of the main building, over the stable for the horses, and next to E a r l e ' s store. T h e "supers" dressed there, and it would have been almost impossible f o r the wadding of the guns to have taken a zig-zag course to reach that remote region of the building. E . A . M a r s h a l l again held forth at the W a l n u t this year. H e kept his theatre open for the entire year without a recess. W . W h e a t l e y and J . D r e w began the year at the A r c h . T h i s season with them w a s not very conspicuous for extraordinary innovations in melodramas or spectacles, but it was generally good and sound in its programs of favorite plays. O n T u e s d a y , September 1 2 , 1 8 5 4 , a new theatre called the C i t y M u s e u m , on C a l l o w h i l l Street below F i f t h , opened under the proprietorship of S. M . Zulich. T h e Arch, the W a l n u t , and the Chesnut began the new theatrical year, J a n u a r y 2, 1 8 5 4 . T h e y continued without interruption through J a n u a r y , February, M a r c h , and A p r i l , and up to the last week in M a y . O n M o n d a y , M a y 29, the Chesnut closed its season at the end of the nightly performance. T h e A r c h and the W a l n u t were joined by the National on J u n e 3, and again by the Chesnut on M o n d a y , J u n e 1 2 . O n e month later, as w e have noted, J u l y 4, the National w a s destroyed by fire, and the site at Ninth and Chesnut w a s next occupied by the Continental H o t e l which in turn w a s torn down in the second decade of the twentieth century to give place to the Benjamin F r a n k l i n Hotel. T h i s famous T u e s d a y night, when the National burned d o w n — t h e [49]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE Fourth of J u l y — w a s also the closing of the season f o r the W a l n u t and the A r c h . T h e Chesnut continued alone through the summer until the A r c h reopened on M o n d a y , A u g u s t 2 1 , 1 8 5 4 . T h e W a l n u t started for the f a l l season, T u e s d a y , A u g u s t 29, one week before the A r c h . O n T u e s day, September 1 2 , 1 8 5 4 , the C i t y M u s e u m added a dramatic company to those already entertaining theatrical Philadelphia at the Arch, the W a l n u t , and the Chesnut. T h e s e f o u r theatres continued until the Chesnut failed to play legitimate drama f r o m the performance of T u e s day, December 19, until the N e w Y e a r , during the change from J a m e s Quinlan to S. E . H a r r i s as lessee at that time. A new theatre opened this year w h e n the City M u s e u m began to play legitimate drama. T h e building w a s on C a l l o w h i l l Street below F i f t h . N o new theatre had opened since Peale's Philadelphia Museum in 1846. B e f o r e that time, Burton had built a new theatre, the National, in 1840. It is to be remembered that w e are speaking of permanent and legitimate dramatic houses, f o r in the fourteen years just mentioned, one can find several new amusement houses, and many old theatres under new names. O n Coates Street, now Fairmount Avenue, spasmodic theatrical ventures broke forth occasionally, but never lasted long. A n d , in the center of the theatrical district of the C i t y , itself, circus buildings began to crop up. B u t these are not w h a t w e understand as houses either of permanent or of legitimate drama. E v e n Barnum's M u s e u m did not play legitimate drama long. T h e C i t y M u s e u m , on the other hand, belongs within our definition, although it w a s a house of melodrama predominantly and, in 1 8 5 4 , does not rank artistically with the A r c h , the W a l n u t , and the Chesnut.

1855 W i l l i a m W h e a t l e y and J o h n D r e w this year dissolved partnership at the A r c h . W h e a t l e y continued alone as lessee of the theatre, and J o h n D r e w with his w i f e returned as stock actors to the W a l n u t , which first gave them footlights in Philadelphia. E . A . M a r s h a l l was as ever lessee of the W a l n u t . I n this our short record of the Philadelphia stage, w e have recorded him as lessee of that theatre f o r thirteen years, f r o m 1 8 4 2 to 1 8 5 5 inclusive. J a m e s Quinlan, w h o was not able to carry the Chesnut through the [50]

THE T H E A T R E S entire year of 1854, released his hold upon the theatre, December 9. And on December 28, 1854, S. E. Harris, the noted comedian of Uncle Tom's Cabin, took the lease of the theatre and opened "Old D r u r y " with the original Wood and Christy's band of Ethiopian Minstrels from N e w York on New Year's Eve. He also attempted to introduce a dramatic company. In April, S. E. Harris was succeeded by C. H . Griffiths and J . Wayne Olwine as lessees of the Chesnut. T h e company was considerably curtailed and the bills provided only farces and interludes for the most part. On the first day of May, the formal closing of the theatre took place with somewhat sad and sentimental exercises. A f t e r a long life of sixty-two years of active service, "Old D r u r y " was demolished, and upon its ruins rose clothing bazaars, billiard saloons and, in the basement, negro concerts. Charles Durang rings down the final curtain upon the stage of "Old D r u r y " with the following quotation, in the one hundred and thirtysixth chapter of his history, third series: Our revels now arc ended. These, our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, T h e cloud capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, T h e solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve; And, like this unsubstantial pageant, faded, Leave not a rack behind. T h e Arch, the Walnut, and the City Museum opened the year of 1855. T h e Chesnut, under S. E. Harris, exhibited a dramatic company, beginning Monday, January 15. T h e four other theatres played without interruption during January, February and up to the last week in March, when the Chesnut discontinued with the performance of Tuesday, March 27. On Thursday, April 5, C. H . Griffiths and J . Wayne Olwine reopened "Old D r u r y " only to close it at the end of the month — f o r all time. The other three theatres played from the beginning of the year until the Fourth of July. With that date the Arch closed its season and the Walnut forsook the legitimate drama, although it remained open with an engagement of the Ravel family in ballet. T h e City Museum also closed.

[51]

THE PHILADELPHIA

THEATRE

T h e A r c h alone began its fall season the next month, Saturday, August 18. T h e r e were also spasmodic performances at the German National Theatre during August, September, and October. T h e W a l n u t reopened Thursday, September 5, and the City Museum on Saturday, September 8. A n d the three theatres remained open for the rest of the year. T h e year of 1 8 5 5 is assuredly one with which to bring to a close an epoch in the history of the theatres of Philadelphia, for the passing of " O l d D r u r y , " the Chesnut Street Theatre, is definitely sufficient to mark an era, just as in the history of the plays the production of Francesca da Rimini comes as the climax to the rise of the romantic tragedy. For, during our twenty-one years of dramatic development under discussion, the romantic tragedy appears as the form most characteristic and most worth while, while Francesca itself is the most significant play. In the realm of the actors, we have no startling events to correspond with the demolition of a theatre or the first night of an epoch-climaxing play. Y e t we do have the appearance of an actor in 1 8 5 5 who should absorb our attention, since he himself was to make this period the beginning of a new epoch in acting. Dion Boucicault appeared for the first time on the stage of Philadelphia at the Walnut, J u n e 16, 1 8 5 5 , in his own comedy of Used Up. He was the man who was to sign the death warrant of the fine old stock companies by instituting the system of the complete traveling company, emanating from N e w Y o r k , and bringing their own new play with which they toured the provinces for many, many weeks. Appended to the newspaper advertisement concerning the bill at the W a l n u t for J u n e 2 3 , 1 8 5 5 , there is this curious note: M r . Barry's Patent Cool A i r Machine maintains the temperature of the theatre under 70 degrees. M i g h t we not, then, call the W a l n u t the first summer theatre in Philadelphia to be artificially cooled by a mechanical invention ? T h e year of 1 8 5 3 was the first year that John D r e w leased the Arch Street Theatre in partnership with W i l l i a m Wheatley. T h e advent of John D r e w as a lessee of the Arch is unequivocally important to Philadelphia theatrical history. But, to the present writer, another fact of importance was the dramatic program which, from its frequency, seemed to be the bill of first choice in the mind of John D r e w himself. T h e two comedies, The Comedy of Errors and The Serious Family, [52]

T H E PLAYS

CHAPTER Π

THE PLAYS 1835 T H E plays which are naturally of most concern to us in detail are the new plays as Philadelphia receives them for the first time. But, for a well-rounded picture of the theatre of the time, we must remember that the Philadelphia theatres annually gave many performances of those old plays which have come into our drama to stay. Among these old favorites in 1835, there were principally the more frequently acted and popular plays of Shakespeare: As You Like It (3 performances), Hamlet ( 7 ) , King John ( 1 ) , King Lear ( 6 ) , Macbeth ( 7 ) , Merchant of Fenice, ( 6 ) , Merry Wives of Windsor (1), Much Ado About Nothing ( 5 ) , Othello ( 7 ) , Katharine and Petruchio (2), Richard III ( 1 4 ) , Romeo and Juliet ( 6 ) , The Tempest ( 2 ) , and the Winter's Tale ( 1 ) . Massinger also appears out of the past with his New Way To Pay Old Debts ( 6 ) . Among the regularly recurring Restoration plays were Sheridan's Rivals ( 2 ) , School for Scandal ( 6 ) , and The Critic ( 2 ) , Rowe's Jane Shore ( 4 ) , and Otway's Fenice Preserved (6). T h e English dramatists of the eighteenth century were represented most frequently by the plays of Cumberland, Lillo, E. Moore, and O ' K e e f e ; of the nineteenth century, by Holcroft, Knowles, Moncrieff, Morton, and Webster. Other and current plays by English dramatists were those of Banim, Diamond, Dibdin, Home, Millman, Milner, Murphy, Poole, and Reynolds. Among the plays on the stage at the time were those by our native playwrights: J . S. Jones, S. H . Rowson, H . J . Conway, W . G . Simms, Win. Dunlap, J . H . Payne, J . Stokes, S. Woodworth, W . E. Burton, Β. H . Brewster, R . T . Conrad, T . S. Rice, R . T y l e r , H . J . Finn, and J . K . Paulding. In discussing the new plays for each year, we are going to make an attempt at unity by dividing them into their type-groups. However, when we are under the necessity of discussing plays which are now unknown or little known, we may err by calling a play a comedietta [57]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E when it is really a burletta or a farce; or again, by calling a play a melodrama when others insist that it is a romantic drama or a domestic drama. Therefore, the present writer wishes to state that the reader may call any of these plays by any name that he prefers. A new tragedy was produced at the Chesnut, April 22, 1835, called Ugolino, or the Innocent Condemned. It was supposed to be an adaptation of the Ugolino, or Blood for Blood, of 1825, by Junius Brutus Booth, but Charles Durang tells us that Booth would never acknowledge the authorship. Jack Cade, or the Noble Yeoman, a play in five acts, by R. T . Conrad, was another new tragedy, produced at the Walnut, December 7, 1835. B. H . Brewster's The Infidel, a romantic play, was introduced to Philadelphia theatre-goers on October 24, 1835, at the Walnut. Other new romantic dramas this year were: Mary Stewart, Shadow on the Wall, Robber's Wife, Gipsy of Ashburnham Dell, and Uda and Magnus. T h e new domestic dramas for this year, including W . E . Burton's The Intemperate, were Henriette, Rake's Progress, Deserter of Naples, Deserted Village, Woman's Life, and the Note ¥ or g er. There were usually a number of new plays representing different types of American character. These new plays for 1835 included: Beulah Spa; Knight of the Golden Fleece; Lion of the East; Man with the Carpet Bag; Congress Hall; Spirit of '76; Kaspar Hauser; and Adventure. Many and various were the new melodramas put on each year. One of the most spectacular of the new melodramas for 1835 w a s Zanthe, built by W . Barrymore of the Walnut from Kenney's tragedy of Hernani, as an expedient for the elaborate Gustavus III production which the Chesnut presented before the Walnut could bring forth its own version. Thus the Walnut had to turn to, and unearth another play. Zanthe was the result. It necessitated a full military brass band and six drummers nightly, costing twenty-five dollars; one hundred and thirty-two supernumeraries, thirty-two dollars and fifty cents ; and wax candles, red, blue, and green fires, sixty or seventy dollars. H . J . Conway, the American playwright, contributed three new melodramas to the Philadelphia stage this year: Fatal Prophecies; Arab Chief; and Spanish Pirates. Other melodramas of the year were: Mary; Old Man's Curse; Last Days of Pompeii; Seventeen Hundred Years Ago; Ardeschi; Schinder[58]

THE P L A Y S hannes; Wild Woman of Our Village; Wild Boy; Black Angus of the Evil Eye; Gray Man of Tottenham ; and Fieschi. T h e r e were also the melodramatic sketches of Mile. Celeste: Wizard Skiff; Moorish Page; Spirit Bride; Victoire; and the Death Plank; and the dog or monkey extravagances with Cony and Blanchard : Cherokee Chief; Ourang Outang; Monkeyana; Planter and His Dogs; Love Me Love My Dog; Ryder Ali; Murder of the Blind Boy; Zenocles and the Greek Chief ; and the Dumb Savoyard and His Monkey. T h e new comedies for the year included: My Uncle John; Blind Beggar of Bethnal Green; Old Gentleman ; Pet of the Petticoats; My Friend the Governor; Miser's Daughter ; Patrician and Parvenu; Skeleton Witness; Biena; Hazard of the Die; Lo Zingaro; Secret Service; Seven Clerks; Second Thoughts ; I'll Be Your Second; Win Her and W ear Her; Matchmaking ; and the Climbing Boy. Among the new farces for 1835 w a s o n e called Queer Neighbors, or the Party Wall, a translation of Kotzebue's German farce, Gefahrliche Nachbarschaff. Other new farces for the year were: Deep, Deep Sea; In the Wrong Box; Ladies' Man; Pay for Peeping; Damp Beds; Welsh Girl; Tristram Shandy; Cupid; Unfinished Gentleman ; Zoological Gardens; My Wife's Mother; Personation ; Affair of Honour; Fighting By Proxy; My Neighbor's Wife; Young Reefer; My Fellow Clerk; Miser's Miseries; and One, Two, Three, Four, Five. T h e two topical farces, Discoveries in the Moon, or Herschel OutHerscheled, by T . D . Rice; and Moonshine, or Lunar Caustic, by W . E. Burton, bear witness to the mild furore caused this year by the presence and ideas of Sir John Herschel, British astronomical scientist, in Philadelphia. T h e two principal new operettas this year were: Gustavus III, or the Masked Ball, a grand musical and historical drama, and The White Lady, or the Spirit of Avenel, the celebrated opera from Borieldrius' Dame Blanche. T . D . (Jim C r o w ) Rice this year contributed an "Ethiopian opera," called Bone Squash Diavolo, which took a permanent place in his repertoire. 1836 An interesting tragedy produced in 1836 was Sardanapalus, by Lord Byron, adapted to the Philadelphia stage by Charles Durang. Durang teLs us in his history that the play ran smoothly. T h e alterations neces[59]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E sary to render it an acting piece, Durang says, impaired the unities of the classic drama, the purity of which the genius of Byron well preserved. T h e celebrated dream scene at the beginning of the fourth act was transposed to the second, leaving the last act more effectively divested of dull recitation, and thus invested with more stage action. It was telling in its acting and was repeated. Under the influence of E . S. Conner's acting and popularity, it drew the large receipt of $929. Other new tragedies of the year were: Caradora, Caswallon, and Ion. The new romantic drama of The Maid of Cashmere was produced by Wemyss as a matter of managerial expedience. T h e success of Mile. Celeste in La Bayadere at the rival theatre made it necessary for Wemyss to produce a counter attraction. So he made a drama of his own adaptation from Lurline, or the Spirit of the Rhine, which he called The Maid of Cashmere. Conway, the prompter at the Walnut, also wrote a romantic drama this year, called Ida Stephanoff, but it did not prove successful. Other romantic dramas for the year were: Lestocq, Actress of Padua, Bleeding Nun, Broken Heart, Marie de Montville, The Minerali, Passion and Repentance, Dream at Sea, Rinaldo Rinaldini, Skeleton Robber, and Walter Brandt. Wemyss also dramatized the popular novel of Norman Leslie this year into a domestic drama of the same name. Other new domestic dramas for 1836 were: Lucille, Paul Ulric, Provost of Bruges, Ransom, Spirit of the Black Mantle, and Yelva. T h e plays of American types this year included : Job Fox, The Yankee Pedlar; Fall of the Alamo; Mob, the Outlaw; and Liberty Tree. Again, numerous and spectacular were the new melodramas for the year. Wemyss himself contributed one, called The Jewess, altered from the drama of Esther, the Jewess. Durang tells us that it was a very showy piece, and gives us an account of it. This particular biblical story of a very notable woman was calculated to draw attention. T h e plot was simplicity itself. In truth, it had no other merit than its picturesque accessories: its Egyptian and Assyrian scenery which the brush of Russell Smith made impressively beautiful, costumes, and magnificent pageantry. T h e principal feature in it was what may be termed an allegorical procession uniquely contrived. Instead of entering from the back or sides of the stage, this procession entered from the back of the pit under a wide entrance made under the center box, whence issued the pageant from the pit saloon and lobby, crossing over a platform [60]

THE P L A Y S laid over the pit about eight feet w i d e , going over the center of the orchestra, and so to the stage. T h e scene set on the stage w a s only in the second grooves, so that the procession, as it reached the first entrance, countermarched and made its exit as the people came up at the prompter's side. A n d , to economize room for t w o h u n d r e d persons in the ranks, they w e r e kept constantly c o u n t e r m a r c h i n g behind the scenes until the entire procession had passed over the pit and the f r o n t of the stage and all had disappeared behind the scenes f r o m the eyes of the spectators. T h e front flats w e r e then d r a w n off, and the entire depth of the stage discovered, w h e n the head of the procession w a s again seen a d v a n c i n g d o w n the stage to lead the ranks to assigned positions, w h e r e they w e r e to take their stand. effect w a s novel and striking.

Reference to the Play List will reveal the identity of the dramatists if known to the present writer. This year saw the Philadelphia première of Auber's grand legendary ballet opera, The Maid of Cashmere, or le Dieu et la Bayadere, of Bellini's opera, La Sonnambula, and of the opera called The Mountain Sylph. Three new pantomimes came to enliven Philadelphia's Christmas this year: Harlequin Tom the Piper's Son, Pongo, and The Three Gladiators. 1837 Nathaniel Parker Willis' Bianca Visconti, or the Heart Overtasked, was, this year of 1837, a new and successful tragedy of considerable poetic feeling. It was written in competition for a prize offered by Miss Josephine Clifton for the best play adapted to her abilities, and was brought by her to Philadelphia, December 27, 1837, a t the Chesnut. Other new tragedies for the year were Knowles' Wrecker's Daughter, and The Saxon Girl, or Walter Tyrrel. T h e new romantic drama for 1837 included: Crichton, or the Admirable Scot, first time on any stage, by Coleman of Philadelphia, a grand historical drama ; Buhver's Duchess de la Valliere; Lord Byron's Marino Faliero, or the Doge of Venice, adapted by Charles Durang; The Lady of the Lake, or the Knight of Snowden, announced as an original romantic drama with music; Brothers of the Pyrenees, advertised as a new drama adapted to the stage from Miss Pardoe's tale of the same name; and The Beggar of Cripplegate. Among the new domestic dramas for the year were: a one-act sketch, called Arabella, or the Discarded Child; The Daughter; Julie, or the Forced Marriage, advertised as a new pathetic drama in three acts; Lilian, the Show Girl, which was peculiarly announced to be a new domestic drama, never acted in America, forwarded by the approval of " M r . E . Forrest to M r . Rufus Welsh, and consigned by him to M r . [ W . ] Barrymore"; Mother's Dream; Paul, the Reprobate, or the Midnight Assassin; and Infidelity.

THE PLAYS T h e new plays of American character for Spangled Banner, or the American Tar's Fidelity, performance in Philadelphia after considerable A Down East Bargain, or Love in New York, especially for Hill, the Yankee comedian; C . A . and Yankee Tar.

1837 were: The Star announced as the first success in N e w York ; written by Moncrieff Logan's Yankee Land;

One of the most pretentious melodramas for 1837 w a s Ν · H . Bannister's Destruction of Jerusalem. Durang gives us a good account of it. He tells us that this drama, which was so magnificently produced and ingenious in the novelty of its dramatic effects, seemed to be beyond the comprehension of the audience. T h e Evil Spirit, so opposed to the Good Spirit, as the theme of the play, was a mythical antithesis or a metaphysical distinction which the many-headed play-going public did not understand. Although Milton's poetical conception of Satan was an angel of beauty and light, and Goethe's Evil Spirit was fascinating to poor Margaret, still Durang claims that a like spiritual treatment of Evil in Bannister's play did not meet the popular conception of the vulgar mind that demanded a devil with horns, hoofs, and tail, with a serpent's head, and a hissing, forked tongue. Durang goes on to say that in this historical drama of events related in biblical as well as in profane history, no incident or reference was made to any particularized religious tenets, such as those of the Greeks, the Romans, the Hebrews, or the Christians. Y e t a hue and cry was made against the drama as insulting to religion, a sacrilege, a profanity on the stage, and a contempt of all religious rites and ceremonies. A l l the press joined in the nonsensical halloo about the piece in a most stupid, fanatical chase. Such were the thoughtless denunciations upon the ill-fated Destruction of Jerusalem play, that Wemyss was forced to withdraw it after the sixth night. Well, the comment of the present writer is that six nights did not constitute a bad run for a new play—for any play, in fact, in those days —and we wonder how much in money those six nights meant to Wemyss. Probably a good deal, probably a very respectable, successful amount. It is too bad for our curiosity, that we do not know the receipts, but, if scandalous advertisement affected the theatre-going public in those days in the same way that it does in the present age, one might suppose that the notoriety given to Jerusalem by the Church militant and the press scurrilous brought in very acceptable golden returns to Wemyss. [63]

THE PHILADELPHIA

THEATRE

N o , Durang in his account gives undue sympathy to Bannister—"Poor Bannister," as he calls the man. It is not everyone, you see, who can write a play to produce such grand free advertising. Another new melodrama by Bannister this year was one called Gaulantus, or the Last of the Gauls. Another melodrama of the year was The Prophet of St. Paul in five acts, by David Paul Brown. Durang says the piece was butchered in production, but was acted to a receipt of $ 7 2 8 . Other new melodramas for 1 8 3 7 were: The Battle of Sedgemoor, or the Days of Kirk and Monmouth ; Faith and Falsehood, or the Fate of a Bushranger; M r s . H . Siddons' Father and Son, or the Convent Ruins; The Fire-Raiser, or the Prophet of the Haunted Moor; Koeuba, or the Pirate of the Capes ; North Pole, or a Tale of the Frozen Sea; Robber Chieftain; Siege of Missolonghi, or the Greek Patriots; Thalaba, or the Burning Sword ; and Trial by Battle. T h e new comedies for the year included: Confusion; Bravo of Venice; John Buzzby; Old English Gentleman ; Pickwick Club; Rural Felicity ; and Speculations. T h e new farces for the year included: Barbers at Court; Barrack Room; Black and White; House Room; Ion Travestie; Jim Croiu in London; Joe Miller; Middy Ashore; My Own Ghost; One Hour; Peculiar Position; Pleasant Neighbors; Rival Pages; Set a Beggar on Horseback ; Ship Launch; La Sonnambula Travestie; Twice Killed; and Za Ze Zi Zo Zu. T y r o n e Power, the Irish actor and playwright, appeared this year in a new musical fairy drama in three acts (as performed at the Theatre Covent G a r d e n ) , called O'Flannigan and the Fairies, or a Midsummer Night's Dream-—not Shakespeare's. T h e advertisement for it (from the United States Gazette), contains the following most fascinating explanation of the play: T h e r e is hardly a lonely valley or wild mountain range in all Ireland that is not characterized by names denoting the residence of the Good People or Fairies; and the belief that those eflin inhabitants of earth and air occasionally condescend to interfere with mortals, either in mirth or in malice, still lingers amongst the peasantry ; one of the most poetical of our national superstitions, and highly congenial to the temperament of an imaginative people. T h i s drama, however, presents the Good People in dream only; the action of the piece from the time the Fairies appear, until the sleeping Flannigan awakes once more to a working world existing only in the creations of a wild fellow's brain, fired by whiskey, and disordered by hard blows. His imaginary perils [64]

T h e new comedy of Weak Points, or the Nice Young Man by Buckstone was advertised as more successful in England than any piece of the season and as produced in Philadelphia from the only copy in this country, as the advertisement for it claims. Other new comedies of the season were: Knowles' Love Chase; Boat Builder's Hovel; Good Husbands Make Good Wives; Love and Murder; Two Queens; and The White Horse of the Peppers. T h e new farces for the year of 1838 included the long list of: Dancing Barber; Does Your Mother Know You're Out?; Impulse; Irish Lion; Life in Philadelphia; Manager's Daughter; A Match in the Dark; My Young Wife and My Old Umbrella; The Original; Patter versus Clatter; A Quiet Day; The Strange Gentleman; Tom Noddy's Secret; Trick for Trick; U and I; Will Watch; and The Yankee Duellist. Other new dramas of the year included the operettas of Amilie, or the Love Test, and Dew Drop; the national drama of The Jesuit's Colony, or the Indian's Doom, announced as written by a gentleman of Philadelphia; and the silent-action play of Samuel Slick, or Love in the Far, Far West, a comic ballet; Soldier's Wife and Soldier's Widow; and Wemyss' grand successful pageant and spectacle of the Coronation of Queen Victoria, which was modeled after Elliston's famous Coronation of George the Fourth in London, 1820.

1839 T h e new tragedies for 1839 included Isaac C. Pray's Juliet ta Gordini, or the Miser's Daughter, and Nathaniel Parker Willis' Tortesa the Ό surer. For the new romantic drama of the year, we have Blanche of Navarre, announced as a dramatization of James' novel of Love. Then there is Knowles' new yearly contribution, this time, Love; Romanzo, or the Exile of Naples, whose authorship is unknown ; and Gaspardo the Gondolier. For the new domestic drama of 1839, there is the dramatization of Charles Dickens' novel into the play of Oliver Twist, or the Alms House Boy. Dickens' novels were quickly dramatized. Apparently, since this process continued over several years, these dramatizations were suc[66]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E by the name of Souter Johnnie, announced as its first production on any stage. One should call particular attention to the singular production of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus at the Walnut, January 30, 1839. T h e United States Gazette, in its theatrical column of the day, announces the performance as the first on any stage—the world première. Durang, in his account of the season, tells us that the hand of N. H . Bannister turned this work of Shakespeare into a beautiful play. What are we to believe from these two statements? It is the opinion of the present writer that the newspaper blurb which called this particular performance the world première was certainly wrong. No one will dispute that correction. Further, we offer this date of January 30, 1839, as the first professional performance of Titus Andronicus within the confines of Philadelphia. It is with a tempering judgment that we must consider the statement of Durang concerning N. H . Bannister's alteration of Titus into a beautiful play. Not even Bannister could turn this singularly horrendous play into something akin to beauty, without changing and losing the identity of the original. However, Bannister at least succeeded in softening the Shakespearean horrors into a drama that ran for four nights. 1840 T h e first year of the new decade saw a profusion of new melodramas (which certainly usurped the stage for 1840) but no new tragedy. Knowles contributed to our boards his yearly play, a romantic drama entitled John Di Procida, or the Bridal of Messina. The year gave us three national dramas: The Frontier Maid, written by Major Noah expressly for Mile. Celeste; The Lion of the Sea, or Our Infant Navy, by Silas S. Steele; and The Battle of Tippecanoe, by S. S. Steele. W . E . Burton, this year, wrote a new domestic drama which was produced under the name of Emigration, or the Progress of an Intemperate. Among the most spectacular of the melodramas for 1840 was The Naiad Queen, or the Mystery of Lurlei Berg, produced by Burton at his National. It was a play in three acts extremely well concocted from a melodrama called Lurline, or the Spirit of the Rhine, out of which Wemyss had made a new drama to oppose Celeste's La Bayadere, some seasons before, which he christened The Maid of Cashmere. John Russell Smith painted a vast quantity of new scenes for The [68]

T H E PLAYS Naiad Queen, all very beautiful. T h e Gothic halls were finely executed. T h e landscapes of the Rhine River were accurate and handsomely painted. One scene especially was truly magnificent and unique in conception, so Durang tells us. This was the Lurlie Grotto Baths. A l l the wings at the sides of the stage were removed entirely, and the stage, to the very side walls and back, was made to represent a circular Grotto. A staging ran around, close to this boundary, representing shelving coral and variegated golden and silver shells, whereon the nymphs reclined and thence plunged into the silvery waters, which occupied the center of the stage. It was like a lake, or an amphitheatre of stalactical forms. Around the margin of the waters, whereon these real nymphs or naiads gracefully floated, arose pyramids of red and other colored coral substances. Other new melodramas for 1840 were: The Dark Lady of Doona, or the Bride's Revenge, in two acts, by W . E . Burton ; The Death Token, or the Murderer's Fate; The Ice Witch and the Sun Spirit, or the Frozen Hand; Peter Bell the Wagoner; The Provost of Paris, or the Truand Chief; Sadak and Kalasrade, or the Waters of Oblivion; and The Sixes, or the Devil's in the Dice. T h e new comedies for 1840 numbered : Ben the Boatswain, or Sailors' Sweethearts ; Le Preux Chevalier; Poor Jack; Romantic Widow; Ups and Downs, or Felix in Search of a Wife; Yankee Bill Sticker; J . H . Payne's Love in Humble Life; and J . D . Burke's The Inn at Abbeville. Among the farces, we have : Curiosity Cured, or Powder for Peeping; Humbug; Is the Philadelphian Dead, or Is He Alive and Merry?; The Little Back Parlor; and Solomon Smink. Opera brings to us this year, Die Brilleninsel ( T h e Isle of Spectacles), advertised as the first in this country, a German Opera written by Kotzebue, especially composed for the Philadelphia German Theatre (occupying the Arch, February 1 0 ) by Ferdinand Riemann; the German Opera of The Swiss Family, music by Weigh ; and The Postillion of Lonjumeau. T h e comic ballet of La Tarentule in two acts, was also introduced to Philadelphia this year.

1841 Dion Boucicault's comedy of London Assurance made its appearance in Philadelphia in 1 8 4 1 , under striking conditions. T h e play came to Philadelphia, according to advertisement, after seventy-three nights at [69]

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E the Covent Garden, London, and four weeks at the Park, New York. Burton was preparing to produce it first, to assure himself the priority over the other Philadelphia theatres, and, in this plan, he did not expect any competition since his preparations were well under way. However, Flynn, the manager at the Walnut, was cunning enough to deceive Burton. Flynn advertised the fact that the Walnut was making elaborate preparations to produce The Naiad. Queen, and Burton believed him— until November 6, 1 8 4 1 , when The Naiad Queen turned out to be London Assurance. Burton's own production at his National did not occur until November 15. Managerial strategy is apparently a many-headed Hydra. Flynn announced London Assurance in an elaborate fashion. T h e stage was set with costly ottomans, cushions, chairs, superior imperial carpets with different and splendid patterns for each scene. T h e upholstery and draperies were of the finest and most expensive kind. Perfect and correct statuary was secured, and the garden scene was laid out with natural flowers, grass plots, with orange and lemon trees from the gardens of the first horticulturists of the city of Philadelphia. But Burton still went Flynn one better. The furnishings for the stage of the National were even more gorgeous. The drawing room was illuminated by a splendid cut-glass chandelier, lighted with gas. T h e furniture supposedly manufactured expressly for this piece, was of the most costly description, of gold pattern with white, arabesque ornaments, according to the use of European palaces. T h e ottomans and lounges were covered with damask satin. The courtyard, park, and gardens were ornamented with a marble fountain of real water. An aviary of living birds, flower parterres, statues from the antiques, busts, vases, porcelain seats, and a tesselated pavement, completed the arrangements. T h e present cast was advertised by Burton as infinitely superior to that either of London or of New York, where its success established a new era in dramatic history. A t the National (Burton's) in Philadelphia, the players were Browne, Conner, Buckstone, W . Jones, J . Wallack, Burton, Mrs. A . Sefton, Mrs. Fitzwilliam, and Miss Clifton. London Assurance was followed, a month later, by a burlesque called Philadelphia Assurance. Another farce of the year, probably by Burton, was called The New President. H . H . Weld's comedy, Easy Joe Bruce, was new this year. In melodrama, this year, we have the spectacular ÌVater Queen, or the [70]

THE P L A Y S Sprites of Donau, with splendid new scenery by P . G r a i n , J r . , and J . W i s e r . It was supposed to be an old English melodrama of G e r m a n origin, concocted out of the incidents of Undine, Naiad Queen, burline, and perhaps others of the same nature. O n e imposing scene in this drama came in the last a c t : a transparent sea. It w a s called on the bills, " A T r e m e n d o u s Conflict Of T h e Adverse E l e m e n t s , " and was really a grand display of f a i r y illusion. T h e r e were five thousand jets of real w a t e r and six thousand jets of liquid fire, all at one time played in opposite directions in varied hues. O t h e r new melodramas for 1 8 4 1 were The Ocean Child; Rookivood, by N . H . Bannister (so D u r a n g tells u s ) , adapted from A i n s w o r t h ' s book ; and The Bank Monster by S. S. Steele. T h e new domestic dramas included: Barnaby Rudge, by B o z ; Sixteen Years Ago, from the F r e n c h ; Bill Stickers and the Jersey Girl; and Werner, or the Inheritance. F o r the new national dramas, there are the titles of The First Fleet and the First Flag, or Our Navy in '"¡6, and J . S. Jones' Siege of Boston, or the Sons of the Soil. 1842 T h e two new tragedies that came to Philadelphia in 1 8 4 2 were both foreign : Nina Sforza, advertised as its first performance in America, and M7alter Lynch, or the Warden of Galway, likewise announced as a first appearance in America. T h e two new domestic dramas for the year w e r e The Drunkard's Progress, and Marie du Cange, a play with M i l e . Celeste. T h e new national dramas included: Washington, or the Hero of Valley Forge, a military drama by J a m e s Rees of Philadelphia; and Red Gauntlet. T h e new melodramas for 1 8 4 2 w e r e : Arnaldi, or the Brigand's Daughter, first in A m e r i c a ; Mungo Park, or the Arab of the Niger; and Foreign Affairs, or the Court of Queen Anne. For the comedies, w e have: Charles Ο'M alley, or the Irish Dragoon; Ten Thousand a Year, or the History of Tittlebat Titmouse, announced as a new play in f o u r parts from the celebrated novel of that name, probably by Burton ; Something Original; The Banker, or a Friend in Need ; and Peter and Paul, or the Mechanic and His Brother, first time in America. [ 71 ]

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E T h e new farces were: Hobbs, Dobbs, and Stubs, or the Three Temperance Grocers, a new farce never acted in America before; My Wife's Dentist; and the Rise of the Rothschilds. A very spectacular, costly, and unique introduction this year was the new pantomime of The Black Raven of the Tombs. Its story hinged upon the adventures of the lovers, Flodoardo and Marie. T h e Signor Montano, a notorious roué, attempts to gain the affections of Marie and, for this purpose, makes a pretended visit of condolence to the chamber of her sick mother, Alice. Alice, however, on perceiving the drift of his visit, indignantly orders him and his valet, Noucum, from the house ; then, exhausted by the exertion, blesses her child and dies. Determined to gain possession of the lovely maiden, Montano takes the opportunity when, with filial affection, Marie is strewing flowers over her mother's grave, to have her seized and conveyed to his castle. Flodoardo, hearing of the outrage, charges Montano and his valet with it. They overpower him, and shut him up in the cemetery behind locked gates. T h e Black Raven flies to his relief, presents him with a magic branch and instructs him how to proceed. T h e remainder of the piece is composed of numerous escapes by the lovers from the continued persecutions of Montano, until, at length, a dreadful punishment overtakes him. T h e scenes of the pantomime were twelve, as follows : ( ι ) Chamber of Alice, ( 2 ) Cemetery and Mysterious Tombs, the haunt of the Black Raven, ( 3 ) Magnificent Gothic Ball Room, brilliantly illuminated, (4) Outside of a Restaurant, ( 5 ) Market Place, ( 7 ) Exterior of a Turkish Harem! Mummies! Statues! and Flight of Brazen Dragon! (9) A Street, ( 1 0 ) Inside of a Hotel, ( 1 1 ) Rocky Mountain Pass! Mysterious Appearance of the Black Raven! ( 1 2 ) Pandemonium! Last scene—Magnificent Cloud Palace of the Black Raven. Dreadful punishment of the guilty on a Revolving Wheel of Fire! Grand Tableau!

1843 A new domestic drama of great interest in 1843 was Gabrielle or a Night's Hazards, translated from the French of Dumas' Mademoiselle de Belle-Isle and adapted to the English stage by J . M . Field. It was announced as a French piece full of the effective claptraps of the stage, natural and unnatural. In such dramas felicity of language in phrases, playfulness in application to passing events, and repartee caused piquant and telling points to be made. T h e piece was quite a success, abounding 172]

THE PLAYS in vivid and racy characters, blended with the heroics of French sentiment. T h e prime new melodrama for 1 8 4 3 w a s the Mysteries of Paris. T h e novel of the same name had just come out and was in every reader's hand f r o m youth to age. A l l were struck with the vivid painted language of the horrible, thrilling scenes of Parisian society among princes and canaille. A s usual, the managers were not unmindful of the excitement thus produced in the reading world. W e m y s s dramatized the Mysteries of Paris to the stage in the form of a melodrama of the romantic kind, where thunder roared, lightning flashed, and mock human blood flowed in the kennel. B y a curious device, the moon's rays w e r e made at night to reflect the blood of humanity mantling the waters of the Seine. W e are told that the multitude gaped at it in wonder. In order that Wemyss might not be forestalled by the other theatrical managers in the dramatization of the new novel, three persons w e r e secretly employed to do it into a drama in twenty-four hours, and it was thus produced by sleight of hand in three days. Actors studied their parts; scenery was painted and ready. I t proved successful. F . C . W e m y s s dramatized the first act, J a m e s G a n n the second, and J o h n Sefton, the third. Other new melodramas of the year were the Gold Bug and the Ruby Ring. J . M . Field's The Artful Dodger and J . P . A d d a m s ' Redwood made their appearance. T h e new plays of American character for 1 8 4 3 included: Nick of Time: Sam Patch in France; and The Market Street Merchant. The Boston Tea Party was a new anonymous play this year. A new pantomime is to be mentioned: Harlequin and the Ocean Nymph.

1844 Just as the prime melodrama f o r 1 8 4 3 had Paris as its background, so did the most interesting melodrama of 1 8 4 4 have Paris for its locale. The

Bohemians,

author of Nicholas

or the Rogues Nickleby.

of Paris

was a drama by E . Sterling,

T h e f o l l o w i n g is D u r a n g ' s account of it

from the seventy-third chapter of his history, third series: T h e r e are many " B o h e m i a n s " in Paris. " B o h e m i a n s " is the name applied to that class of individuals whose existence is a problem, their conditions and their fortunes an enigma, having no resting place—who are never to be found, and yet to be seen e v e r y w h e r e — w h o have no trade, yet live in professions, the greater number of whom rise without knowing where they shall dine—rich today and dying tomorrow with [73]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE h u n g e r — r e a d y to live honestly, if they can, and otherwise, if they can not. It is estimated that there are ten thousand of them in Paris. T h e time of action w a s 1 8 4 2 ; the place Paris. T h e unities of the classic drama are most decidedly outraged in these revolting melodramas. W h a t says V o l t a i r e on the unities? W h a t is a dramatic piece? T h e representation of one action. W h y of one and not of t w o or t h r e e ? Because the human mind cannot take in so many objects at o n c e ; because the interest w h i c h is divided is soon destroyed. In a picture t w o different events offend the sight. N a t u r e has t a u g h t us the sense w h i c h ought to be as immutable as herself. T h e unity of place is essential for the same reason, for one single action cannot be transacting in many places at the same time. If the personages w e see are at A t h e n s in the first act, h o w can they be in Persia in the second? H a s L e B r u n painted A l e x a n d e r at A r b e l l a and in the Indies on the same c a n v a s ? T h e unity of time is naturally joined to the t w o others, par example: A conspiracy is f o r m e d against A u g u s t u s at R o m e . I wish to k n o w w h a t is about to happen to A u g u s t u s and the conspirators. If the poet makes the action continue fifteen days, he ought to i n f o r m us w h a t has passed d u r i n g that time. W e w a n t to be informed of w h a t passes. T h e unity of time is o f t e n extended to t w e n t y - f o u r hours, and the unity of place to the circumference of a place, etc. W e do not w i s h to d w e l l upon this to any length. H o w e v e r , D r . Johnson, in his preface to Shakespeare, answers these objections to the violation of the unities by the B a r d of A v o n w i t h very cogent reasons of a common sense nature. T h e construction of Julius Caesar, for instance, assumes great latitude as to time, to place, etc. B r u t u s and Cassius are at R o m e in the first act, and and in T h e s s a l y in the fifth act. In The Bohemians, some very w e l l painted scenes w e r e given by G r a i n , Jr., of Paris and its environs, f r o m accurate views. T h e y embraced the P o n t M a r i e ; the R i v e r Seine w i t h all its stereotyped architectural historical o b j e c t s ; the home of the Bohemians, " T h o s e spiders of civilization, w h o spread their nets to catch dupes," w a s a v e r y graphic representation of these dens of mixed up miseries and bacchanalian carousal. T h e quarries of M o n t m a r t e ; the heights overlooking P a r i s ; the bivouac of the Bohemians, etc. ; w e r e all v e r y effective scenes, and helped the piece in its many-colored illustrations of Parisian life.

v a r i e t y . It

and receives an account f r o m D u r a n g in the

seventieth chapter of his history, third series : W e remember this piece contained several very b e a u t i f u l landscape scenes, one especially painted in detached scenes, w i t h a very fine terminating v i e w of mountain ranges, occupying the entire depth of the stage. T h i s scene w a s designed and painted by J o h n W i s e r , then a y o u n g artist. It deserves a record. It w a s a battle scene by moonlight, a f t e r a bloody s t r u g g l e , p i c t u r i n g [ 74]

THE P L A Y S piles of slaughtered soldiers strewed over the plain and the sloping hills in various positions, with horses lying dead by their -wounded riders. T h e debris of arms, the cannon dismounted from their carriages, broken wheels, with the camps in the distance in smouldering ashes. These presented a pictorial w a r scene of repose, after a terrible contest of a most thrilling nature. T h e effect of the moon's beams falling on the dead and their arms, tinging out each group and objects with its silvery light, imparted to the picture, and therefore to the spectator's eye, a most impressive view of battle subjects under such a phase. T h e a w f u l silence and dread repose that succeeds after an engagement of great carnage, viewed, too, under the benign light of the Heavenly bodies in their calmest state, most deeply impresses the mind and heart of man with the horrors of war, and irresistibly makes him deprecate the rash causes, however justified, which lead and urge to such demoniac demonstrations. Other new melodramas for 1844 were the Dancing Feather, or Secrets of Life in New York, and T . D . English's The Doom of the Drinker. N e w romantic dramas of the year were Lochinvar, and S. S. Steele's The Grecian Queen. T h e new national dramas were Putnam, or the Eagle Eye and the Hand of Steel, and Mad Anthony, or the Pennsylvania Line. Comedy was served by the new plays of Handy Andy, The Love Gift, and T . D . English's Gammon and Galvinism. And pantomime was represented by Munchausen, first time in America, so announced. 1845 N e w plays this year included the romantic drama of Eva, The Page, the domestic dramas of Oregon, or the Emigrant's Dream and S. S. Steele's Emilie Plater, and the melodrama of Burke's Murrell the Land Pirate. A m o n g the new historical dramas we must place the following for 1845 : The Battle of Germantown, or a Tale of Tracy's Rangers; A Veteran; W . M . Leman's Freedom's Last Martyr; The Declaration of Independence; and General Harlon's The Fall of Kessichack. T h e comedy of greatest significance this year was M r s . M o w a t t ' s social satire of Fashion, or Life in New York, which pointed a finger of scorn at people who try to ape the outward forms of high society without knowing the inward reasons and values for them. In this comedy, a weilthy American family, or, principally the mother of that family, apes the modes and mannerisms of Paris. It is interesting to note that in our first social satire, The Contrast, the people imitated the modes and mannerisms of London. B y the time of Barker's Tears and Smiles in [75]

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E 1 8 1 7 , America had shifted from Anglomania to Francomania in its search for the latest word which is fashion. Just as a literary imitator so frequently reproduces only the foibles and eccentricities of the writer whom he imitates, so also the social imitator usually reproduces imperfectly the customs which he seeks to imitate. In her Autobiography, Mrs. Mowatt laments this imperfect reproduction of French manners by American would-be's when she speaks of the custom of abolishing formal introductions at large social assembles : T h e custom is intended to obviate the ceremoniousness of formal introductions. Every one is expected to talk to his neighbor, and if mutual pleasure is received from the intercourse, an acquaintance is formed. T h e same fashion in vogue with us renders society cold and stiff. Few persons feel at liberty to address strangers. Little contracted circles of friends herd in clannish groups together and mar the true object of society. Also in her Autobiography, Mrs. Mowatt says: " T h e critics who condemned Fashion seemed to hold my Country responsible for its short comings. Those who awarded the meed of praise, in turn bestowed their eulogiums upon America, as due to her through one of her children." Edgar A . Poe, in one of his pungent, queer, critical remarks, said of Fashion that "it resembled The School for Scandal in the same degree that the shell of a locust resembles the living locust." Charles Durang, in the eighty-sixth chapter of his history, third series, comments upon this remark of Poe's by saying: "Then, as the authoress accounts for its success, the performers must have infused their spirit into the shell, and gave it the life of that chirping insect." Other new comedies for 1845 were: Dion Boucicault's Old Heads and Young Hearts; Change Makes Change (in which M r s . Mowatt herself acted) ; Monseigneur, or the Paris Robbers in IT20; and D . W . Jerrold's Time Works Wonders. A farce of interest was W . E. Burton's Fashion, or How to Write a Comedy, in which he scored a tremendous hit at the expense of Mrs. Mowatt. 1846 T h e period of 1846 was a slim year in the production of new plays of any account. The King 0} the Commons was a new play for 1846, probably a romantic drama. T h e author, James White, a Scottish clergyman, [76]

THE PLAYS was the writer of other dramas, but they were not adapted for stage representation. Romantic also was George Hielge's Montezuma. For the national drama, we have Walter M . Leman's Prairie Bird, or a Child of the Delawares, and the play of Swamp Fox, or Marion and His Merry Men. Among the farces and comedies we must note the new ones of Arcade; Crimson Crimes; E . Fitzball's Home Again; J . B. Buckstone's The Bear Hunters; Did You Ever Send Your Wife to Germantown? ; and Did You Ever Send Your Wife to Burlington? T h e Germantown farce originated with Burton at his Arch Street Theatre, where it won popular applause. (Burton was playing farces almost exclusively at the Arch this year.) And the Burlington farce was very likely an attempt at the Walnut to cash in on the popularity of the Germantown farce which had appeared at the Arch a week before. Balfé's new operatic, scenic drama, The Enchantress, in three acts came to Philadelphia for the first time in 1846, and received the plaudits of the theatre-goers. 1847 was

T h e year of 1847 again a period of comparative dearth in the production of new plays in Philadelphia. The Cavalier, with C. D. Pitt and M r s . Burke, was a new play of the year, probably a romantic drama. The Secret Pamphlet, or the Ups and Downs of a Printer, and Who's the Composer? formed the extent of the new comedies for 1847. T h e new farces were Cerro Gordo ; Actor and Heiress; W rong Passenger ; and Native Nobility. There was considerable operatic activity this year, with the Seguins and Frazer at the Chesnut where several seasons of opera were given. T h e new operas launched in Philadelphia this year were: Vincent W a l lace's Maritano; and Adolph Adam's Brewer of Preston; and The Chalet. Another new play this year was The Crock of Gold by H . M . W a r d .

1848 T h e year of 1848 saw renewed theatrical activity in the production of new plays. For tragedy, we have the three new plays of Genevieve ; Octavia Bragaldi; and Love's Martyr. For domestic drama, the new plays of John Sovile of Haysted; Dombey and Son; and The Fireman's Daughter were introduced.

[77]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E T h e year of 1848 brought to Philadelphia the new national drama of The Forest Princess, or Ttvo Centuries Ago, by Mrs. C. B. Conner. It was an historical drama in three acts, of blank verse, founded on the life of Pocahontas. The historical characters were well preserved and graphically delineated. There follows a brief outline of the scenes: Part I. Scene —America, in Wingandocoa, the land of Powhatan, named Virginia by Sir Walter Raleigh. Time, 1607. Part II. Scene—America, in the country of Powhatan. Time 1609. Part I I I . Scene—England, in London and at Gravesend. Time 1609. T h e death of Pocahontas, exclaiming— I lose thee now, M y eyes behold Virginia's grassy t u r f — I hear my father. Husband, fare thee well! W e part—but we shall meet above! Another new national drama for 1848 was called Three Eras in Washington's Life. Anent the production of the new classical play, Horatii and the Curiatii, by Burton, March 2 1 , 1848, Charles Durang tells us a very interesting story in the ninetieth chapter of his history, third series : There was a lady of Philadelphia who wrote a play upon this subject of Roman history, with the combat of the brothers introduced. This play was given to M r . Burton, some months before, to peruse and to accept. T h e lady's play was kept for some time before any opinion or decision was given by Burton, although he was urged to do so; the answer being the usual one from theatrical cabinets: " N o t having leisure to finish the reading." But to the authoress' astonishment, one day she saw the subject announced for performances on March 22d [really March 2 1 s t ] , as written or dramatized by Burton himself (of course, sub rosa). T h e lady seated herself in the theatre on the first night, and she had the mortification to see her principal stage incidents taken— or those of her play ; all the effective points called, with various scenes, and speeches almost literally taken from Knowles' William Tell. T h e play that was thus offered in good faith to M r . Burton was a very effective drama, and well written. Certainly, it did not deserve the cavalier fate it received from the autocracy of a manager's tribunal whence there is no appeal. He had the right to refuse the play as the great Garrick refused the tragedy of Douglass before him; but it was a gross injustice to take the idea, the plot, and its general composition, by the lady, and then serve it up as a melodramatic rehash, with plagiarized condiments. Her labors deserved at least courtesy. W e suppose he did the deed upon the principle that "Heaven sends good meat, but the devil sends cooks." Therefore, the meat being good, the thought struck him, he would dress it himself.

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E T h e most important melodrama for the year was The Count of Monte Cristo, dramatized by George H . Andrews of New York from the novel by Alexander Dumas. T h e melodramatic music was supplied by Roberts of the Broadway Theatre ; the glees by Dr. W . P. Cunnington ; the dances by Schmidt, ballet master of the Arch ; the scenery by Peter Grain, J r . ; the machinery by A . Wilson ; appointments by Robinson ; and costumes by H . Watson. Other melodramas of the year were: The Venetian; Twin Brothers of the Blood Red Cross; Eagle Eye; Horse of the Prairie; Idiot of the Mill; and Hand of Cards. This year there was a profusion of one certain kind of American-type drama: the Mose and Jakey melodramas. Among these was N w York As It Is, by B. A . Baker. As much of an idea of it as any one of us today would desire to have can be obtained from a short sketch of the scenes, to w i t : A view of Chatham Square Theatre, interior of a soup house, a boxing scene à la T o m and Jerry, Catharine Street Fish and Clam Market, Chatham Street, a Ladies' Gymnasium, and the grand finale of the Old Brewery in flames. Mose and his fire company arrive. He dashes into the building and appears at the window with a child in his arms. " M y chee-ild ! She is saved! Thank G o d ! " Grand tableaux. Curtain. The Mysteries and Miseries of New York came to Philadelphia, also, this year. It was an adaptation by H . P. Grattan of "Ned Buntline's" novel of the same name (see Ireland, I I , 5 3 3 ) , and was another of the many attempts to apotheosize the darling of the gods and the firemen, Mose, the home-town boy. Of course, every city had its own Mose, and these plays went the whole gamut of the cities and were easily adapted to local surroundings by the mere substitution of different place names. Mose and Jakey (In Philadelphia), or the United Fire Boys, by T . B. Johnston, was rather low in moral content or rather, more strongly, immoral. Moral content was never a high feature in the Mose and Jakey plays, but in this one particularly it was totally absent. T h e Bowery boys visit the Philadelphia Jakeys, consisting of fast men, genteel and low loafers, pickpockets, and men leaving their wives to live with "the gals." T h e company was certainly not very choice. Fistimania, or the Man who Saw the Fight was a new Jakey sketch by William E . Burton this year and, according to Durang, netted him ten thousand dollars. Other Mose and Jakey plays for the year were Mose in China; Mose in California; Mose and Jakey's Visit to the Chesnut; and Jakey's Visit to California. [80]

THE PLAYS T h e new comedies for 1849 included Court and City; Lavater; Delusion; Three Wives of Madrid; The Miser of Philadelphia; O'Grady ; Knight of Arva; Matchwoman of Philadelphia ; and The Serious Family. One of the extravaganzas of the year was called The Empire of Hayti, or King Craft in 1852. It was written by Thomas Dunn English and was, presumably, a farce. One of the characters in it, "Victoria the Last," was announced on the program as "sensible but severe, who is not felt when she reigns, but is mist when she mizzles." Other new farces were: Slasher and Crasher; Monte Cristy; Chloroform; Mr. and Mrs. Macbeth; Where's Barnum?; Pierre Gamouche; John Dobbs; Taken in and Done for; A Wonderful Woman; Mammon and Gammon; Irish Secretary; Philadelphia Directory ; and Mental Electricity. 1850 T h e year of 1850, the beginning of the new decade, again found considerable activity in the theatres in the production of new plays. Virginia was the new tragedy of the year, with Miss Davenport in the title rôle. Romantic drama was represented this year by three new plays. The Duke's Wager was announced as an adaptation from M . Emile Augier's play of Gabrielle and A . Dumas' Maid of Belle Isle, being the same popular story as the recently successful drama of M r s . Frances Ann Kemble. King Rene's Daughter seemed to be a romantic drama of note, and the story of it is interesting, for King Rene's daughter is a blind girl, who, purposely kept in seclusion by her father, has been ignorant of her infirmity until a strange cavalier, who falls in love with her, makes her acquainted with it. T h e following speech, delivered in reply to a question concerning the use of her eyes is representative of the poetic quality of the piece: Y o u ask of what avail—how can you ask? And yet I ne'er have given the matter thought. M y eyes ! M y Eyes ! ' T i s easy to perceive, A t eve, when I am weary, slumber first Droops heavy on my eyes, and thence it spreads O'er all my body, with no thought of mine. Thus, then, I know my eyes avail me much. When I had pined for many tedious days Because my father was detained from home, I wept for very gladness when he came! [81]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE Through tears I gave my bursting heart relief, A n d at my eyes, I found a gushing vent. T h e n never ask me unto what avail Omnipotence hath gifted me with eyes. T h r o u g h them, when I am weary, comes repose ; Through them, my sorrow lightened, and through them M y joy is raised to rapture! W h e n her father tries to explain to her the nature of sight, she says: Oh, father! these are wondrous words to me! Incomprehensible! Explain one thing to me! I, with my eyes, it seems, should grasp the world. Y o n stranger, too, who lately was with me, A n d whose strange words are stamped so deeply here, He spoke of sight. W h a t is it, then, to see? Can I, oh! father, see his voice, which touch'd M y soul with joy and sadness? Can I see W i t h these, mine eyes the nightingale's thick note, Whereon I've mused so oft, and vainly striven T o follow it in thought, away, away ? O r is her song a flower, whose fragrant breath I know, but not its root, and stem and leaves? A most important romantic drama of the year was the play in five acts by G . H . Boker, called The Betrothal. T h e newspaper advertisement announced it as a piece "wherein he [Boker] has moulded the Dramatis Personae for the express capabilities of each representative." F o r an excellent critical account of this play, see D r . A r t h u r Hobson Quinn's book, A History of the American Drama from the Beginning to the Civil War. T h e new national dramas of the year were Eddystone E l f , or the Fiend of the Rock, General Washington, and Oua Cousta, the Lion of the Forest, founded on events during the French and English W a r s in America, by N . H . Bannister. It was a Metamora painting throughout, and thought by many to be superior to that drama. T h e melodramas for 1 8 5 0 were numerous. Democracy and Aristocracy, or the Rich and Poor of New York gave representations of a number of the low dens of vice and immorality in the city. T h e last scene portrayed the poor man's cottage showing the rich man's oppression and the eventual conquest of the right. T h e keynote of the play may be expressed in the sentence: " T h e rich may be exceeding poor, and the poor exceeding rich." The Mysteries

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E was a German play translated by M r s . Lovell. Another new romantic play of the year was E. Forrester's Student of Morlaix. A new play this year in which Mrs. Conner had a hand was Charlotte Cor day, translated and adapted by her from Lamartine's Histoire des Girondins and the French drama of Charlotte Corday, by M . M . Dumanoir and Clairville, the performance of which was prohibited by Louis Napoleon on account of its advocacy of liberty and republicanism. T h e new comedies for the year included : The Old Love and the New; Love in a Maze ; Major Jones' Courtship ; and The IV orld a Mask, this last play being a social satire by George Henry Boker. Boker's forte was romantic tragedy, and not social satire. For an account of this play, see Dr. Arthur Hobson Quinn's book, A History of the American Drama from the Beginning to the Civil War. T h e new farces for the year were: My Friend in the Straps; Sent to the Tower; School for Tigers; The Teacher Taught ; The Chisel; and Three Cuckoos. Additional news plays were Brian O'Lynn by S. D . Johnson, and Shandy Maguire by James Pilgrim. 1852 A tragedy of importance for 1852 was the new historical and romantic play of De Soto, written expressly for J . E. Murdoch by G . H. Miles of Baltimore. Part of the manuscript of this play is in the library of the University of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia gave the play its first performance on any stage. Charles Durang in the one hundred and sixth chapter of his history of the Philadelphia stage, third series, quotes the following passage from a Spanish historian, apropos of the play : Y e shall sheath me in my mail, with my helmet on my head, and my spur on my heel! With my sword in my hand shall ye bury me, and with a banner of Castile for my shroud! In the depths of the river— of my river—shall ye bury me, with lighted torch and volleyed musketry at the midnight hour. Scenery for the play was provided by J . Parker and R. Smith, and costumes by F . Johnson. There were some fifteen new scenes painted for the drama, principally views of the Floridas and the Mississippi River. T h e denouement—the last scene—was very imposing and solemnly grand. T h e view of the Mississippi, painted by R. Smith, and the Te Deum and [84]

THE PLAYS grand tableaux illustrating Powell's great natural picture, The Burial of De Soto, excited much approbation. Another new tragedy of the year was Helos the Helot. The Painter of Brienne was a new romantic play in three acts, written expressly for the Walnut Street Theatre, by a gentleman of Philadelphia. This piece was founded upon events which graphically illustrated many of the famous people who figured during the dynasty of the first Napoleon in the most thrilling and interesting times of his life, in 1804 and 1805. This new drama had a successive and successful run of four nights. Among other new plays for 1852 were the national drama of Scott and Pierce and the domestic drama of Edith. T h e new comedies included : The Custom of the Country; Ladies' Battle; The Fast Man; and The Fireman's Bride. T h e new farces were: Vve Eaten My Friend; A Duel in the Dark; fVho Stole the Pocket Book?; Our Clerks; The Youth who Never Saw a Woman; and A Row at the Chesnut.

1853 A new tragedy of importance, in 1853, was Boker's Leonor de Guzman, a play with a Spanish setting. Camille, or the Fate of a Coquette, was played for the first time in America in our city this year. It was taken from a French drama which had an unprecedented run in Paris for more than a year. It was adapted to the stage in English perhaps by (but certainly f o r ) Miss Jean Margaret Davenport, or by John Wilkins, author of the comedy of Civilization. T h e version of the play in English was entirely divested of all the immoral, objectionable features of the French drama and so modified as to become an entertainment of virtuous instruction. Myrna Alwynn, a play in five acts, was another new tragedy this year. Bleak House and The Curate's Daughter were new domestic dramas for 1 8 5 3 . B u t the play which overshadowed everything else this year was a melodrama that caught the tide of public favor and swept along for decades. On September 26, 1853, the Chesnut Street Theatre opened, one might say, with a new dramatic epoch for Philadelphia in the first performance of the great original drama of Uncle Tom's Cabin, or Life among the Lowly, dramatized from M r s . Harriet Beecher Stowe's world-renowned work, by G . L . Aiken. It was composed of six acts, ten tableaux, and [85]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE thirty scenes. T h e new scenery was by Joseph Parker ; overture and new music by Mueller; stage direction and production, by Addis. T h e following scenes, taken from southern scenes and painted by Joseph Parker, were particularly effective: i, Uncle Tom's Cabin by moonlight ; 2, Rocky Pass near the Ohio ; 3, T h e Ohio filled with ice ; 4, St. Clair's Mansion and Garden; 5, Little Eva's Bower; 6, T h e Slave M a r t ; 7, Uncle Tom's Shed ; 8, Allegory—Eva in Heaven. Its success was unbounded. For twenty-five successive nights the houses were filled to capacity, and this one play did, perhaps, as much as any other instrument of antislavery tendency to stimulate public sentiment against the abuses of the southern system of captive labor. A t this writing ( 1 9 3 4 ) , the play has been a part of American life for almost eighty years, since, during all those years, some company somewhere in the United States has been playing the famous old drama. Generations after generations of Americans have been acquainted with Uncle Tom's Cabin as the first of their dramatic fare. Countrymen in the far provinces who never heard of Broadway and the current drama of their day, received their only knowledge of the theatre from Uncle Tom's Cabin as presented to them by some barnstorming company in some little tank town. Many an actor of note today recalls fondly that one of his first and small rôles was that of a minor character in Uncle Tom's Cabin. Uncle Tom's Cabin is the universal example of a popularly accepted propaganda play that has become a classic in theatrical history, despite the fact that it is merely a thesis play full of sentimentality. By some marvel of time and quirk of circumstance, its word has become life and its story has become legend. The White Slave of England, or the Age We Live In was another new melodrama of 1853. It professed to be an answer to Uncle Tom's Cabin. T h e new comedies for the year included: Sea and Land; Drumming ; Dick the Newsboy; Nationalities; and A Cure for Coquettes. T h e new farces for 1853 were Madame Anna Bishop in the Provinces; Irish Americans; Going to the Races; and Whitebait at Greenwich. There was this year a new dramatic opera, called Florentine, or the Pride of the Canton, in two acts. T h e libretto was written by Mrs. Sheridan Mann expressly for Miss Caroline Richings. Other new plays were Masks and Faces by Charles Reade, Our Jemima by H . J . Conway, and the anonymous compositions of The Battle of Buena Vista, The Black Rangers, and Irish Assurance and Yankee Modesty. [86]

THE PLAYS 1854 A curious new melodrama in 1854 was Hot Corn, or Little Katy, a story by Solon Robinson based upon low life in N e w York. T h e book became sensational and was read avidly. C. W . Tayleure dramatized it and retained its original title. T h e play was (so-called) "a religious and moral drama," and had some twenty-four characters. It was full of thrilling scenes of low life, dissipation, crime, and death. Little Katy's death was painfully affecting. There was a Grand Allegory attached to it. T h e spirit of little Katy ascended to Heaven in a cloud of light, attended by groups of seraphs floating upwards to realms of bliss, attended by strains of melody. T h e play was what actors call a gag piece. Cabin and Parlor, or a Picture on the Other Side of Jordan to Uncle Tom's Cabin, another new melodrama, was dramatized by B. Young from the popular novel of that name. Its purpose was to reflect the opposite opinions to those contained in Uncle Tom's Cabin. Other new melodramas in 1854 were The Irish Sibyl and the Rebel Chief, founded on a story of the rebellion of 1798, and Plot and Passion. John Wilkins' play of St. Marc, which came to Philadelphia in 1854, w a s a l s ° probably a melodrama. There were several new American comedies this year. J . Austin Sperry's Life in the West, or Playing False was a new American comedy in five acts. This year, also, saw the Philadelphia production of The Game of Life, another comedy in five acts, by John Brougham. Buckstone's new comedy, in one act, The Maid with the Milking Pail, or the Speaking Likeness received its first Philadelphia performance in 1854. Colombe's Birthday was another new comedy of the year. Kenneth, or the Weird Woman of the Glen, was a new romantic play, dramatized by N . B. Clark from W . M . Reynolds' celebrated romance. A Legend of the Chesnut Street Theatre, a new play for 1854, might have been a romantic play, but it is very difficult to tell from the title alone. T h e domestic drama of Griselda, or the Patient Woman was new to Philadelphia. It was advertised as a play taken from the German of Halm by Auguste Waldauer, and adapted to the English stage by J . M . Field. The Irish Yankee, or the Birthday of Freedom, by John Brougham, was advertised as a new national drama. A new Christmas pantomime for the year, Fortunio and His Seven Gifted Servants, was a fairy extravaganza in two acts, founded on a popular nursery tale by the Countess D'Anois, [87]

Boker's play w a s the first English version and the greatest of them all.

T H E ACTORS

CHAPTER ΙΠ

THE ACTORS 1835 IT is to be remembered that, one hundred years ago, our city still had stock companies in its theatres—in fact, they lasted until 1 8 7 8 . A n d to these stock companies came featured players chiefly from N e w Y o r k and abroad. T h e traveling-star system was at work, but it did not overwhelm the general excellence of the city stock companies, nor did it give unfair publicity to one actor and total oblivion to another. One is impressed by the records to see how featured players come and go, causing, it is true, an enthusiastic ripple, but not a maelstrom to engulf the veterans who remained at their posts year in and year out, supported by public favor. In the Philadelphia of 1 8 3 5 , there w e r e two stock companies playing excellent drama nightly. T h e American (which w e shall call the W a l n u t Street) T h e a t r e had upon its boards in this year approximately seventy players, not including the prominent visiting stars, while the Chesnut Street T h e a t r e (or the A r c h when this company occasionally used that building) had thirty-four. It might appear from these figures that there was an appreciable difference in the strength of the two companies, but the ultimate statistics speak f o r almost equal rank between them, for the backbone of the programs was made up of twenty-two players at the W a l n u t and twenty-four at the Chesnut. T h e s e figures are, of course, estimates only and may v a r y f r o m reality by the margin of several players. T h e y are, however, f a i r l y accurate, the w r i t e r hopes, and also significant. A n d they show that the W a l n u t admitted a large number of visiting artists. O n e is amazed at the number of actors who came apparently unheralded, remained f o r a short stay, and left, leaving us only a passing, unknown name to conjure with. T h e twenty-two players at the W a l n u t , then, formed the official family of the stock company. O f them, eleven were men and eleven women. A t the Chesnut there were about thirteen men and eleven women in the inner circle. T h e players at the W a l n u t were M r . and M r s . ( J . P . ) Knight, M r . and M r s . Kent, M r . and M r s . M u z z y , M r s . ( F . B . ) Conway, M r s . D u f f , Misses Anderson, Charnock, M a r y D u f f , A l e x i n a [93]

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E Fisher, Waring, Eliza Riddle, and Messrs. E . S. Connor, Hadaway, C. S. Porter, J . G . Porter, D. Reed, J . Sefton, ( Ε . N . ) Thayer, and F. C. Wemyss; and at the Chesnut, M r . and Mrs. ( W . G . ) Jones, M r . and Mrs. Maywood, M r . and M r s . Rowbotham, M r . and Mrs. Walstein, M r . and Mrs. ( C . ) Watson, Mrs. Conduit, Mrs. (Ε. N . ) Thayer, Misses Elphinstone, Pelham, Watson, (Emma) Wheatley, and Messrs. W . E . Burton, T . S. Cline, Faulkner, ( R . ) Hamilton, J . E. Murdoch, Thoman, Walton, and Wood. Among those who occasionally appeared at the two theatres as players featured to a certain degree were, at the Walnut, M . and Mme. Gouffe, Mrs. Pritchard, Mrs. Maeder, Miss Meadows, and Messrs. C. H. Eaton, Frimbley, Ingersoll, J . H . Oxley, W m . B. Wood, and Masters Bowers, Jackson, and Roberts; and at the Chesnut, Messrs. Hathwell, Hunt, T . Power, and J . R. Scott. T h e members of the two companies from whom we hear infrequently as well as the names of passing people were, at the Walnut, M r . and M r s . J . M . Brown, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Cooke, Mrs. Thorne, Misses Booth, Brittenham, Ruth, Ann Sefton, and Messrs. Allen, Blaike, Brittenham, ( N . B . ) Clarke, Collingbourne, J . H. Colline, Delarue, Derivage, Durang, C . Faurrest, Huntley, Jackson, Kelley, E . B. K r a f t , Lyne, J . Mestayer, J . Reed, ( T . B.) Rüssel, W . Sefton, Senior, Stanley, W . Vache, J . Wallace, Ward, W . Warren, and ( C . ) W e b b ; and at the Chesnut, Messrs, Bateman, ( D . ) Eberle, Jervis, T . Placide, ( J . H . ) Taylor, and ( C . ) Webb. This list of players completes the number of sixty-nine for the Walnut and thirty-four for the Chesnut. In a day when visiting stars often came to a distant theatre to play leads in their own individual repertoires with which they were completely familiar, the members of the stock companies seldom played the character of Hamlet, Othello, Lear, and other great tragic rôles. Comedy, then, frequently became the province of the stock-players during the intervals when the great and near great were in absentia. In the year of 1835, M a r y Duff was the lovely and principal young comedienne at the Walnut. J . Sefton was the popular young comedian who was paired with her, and they appeared together in such pieces as The Good-Looking Fellow, He Is Not Α-Miss, The Deep, Deep Sea, The Golden Farmer, The Dumb Belle and others, some of them only farces. T h e Misses Anderson, Charnock, Fisher, and Riddle frequently alternated with Mary Duff, and the Messrs. Connor, Hadaway, and J . G . Porter with J . Sefton. [94]

THE ACTORS M r . and M r s . Kent, M r . and M r s . Knight, and M r . and M r s . M u z z y took the supporting rôles of parents, friends, relatives, and enemies to the young lovers, and were always in demand. T h e r e was also in the company at the W a l n u t , in J a n u a r y of 1 8 3 5 , a veteran comedian, W . Sefton, of 295 W a l n u t Street, the older brother of J . Sefton. Both were very popular. But W . Sefton was summarily dismissed for drunkenness by Francis C . Wemyss, lessee and manager of the theatre. T h e present writer does not wish to disturb the mold of a dusty scandal, nor malign the fair reputation of a good comedian long dead, but he does wish to point out how significant a proof this case really is of the dignified and orderly conduct of Wemvss' theatre, for considerable public comment was caused by the dismissal of the favorite, but Wemyss was adamant. On February 18, 1 8 3 5 , at the time of the dismissal, Wemyss published an open letter of a whole column in length in the United Stales Gazette and gave the reasons for his action. Shortly afterward, W . Sefton replied with an open letter of protest and of equal length. Even J . Sefton tried to have his brother reinstated in the company, but to no avail. A n d , when the young man's benefit came, on A p r i l 10, it was announced by him that W . Sefton would appear, but there was no appearance of that gentleman. A n d , after this time, we do not hear any more of J . Sefton •—the rising and popular comedian—for several years. Perhaps, his eagerness to appease injured innocence and his staunch loyalty to family spelt temporary disaster to him. A t all events, he was gone. A t his benefit, also, he introduced his sister, A n n Sefton, to the stage as Elizabeth Stanton in Tom Cringle. A t the Chesnut, Burton was the popular comedian. Not only was he a player, but also a singer and a playwright. A great many of the farces produced on the boards of that theatre were by him, such as Forty Winks, or Blunders in a Bed Room, The Ladies' Man, The Mummy, or the Liquor of Life, and a domestic play like The Intemperate, or a Sister's Love. In fact, so prolific was his creation of farces and light comedies that one wonders how many unidentified farces at the Chesnut were really by him. Another veteran and popular comedian at the Chesnut was J . E . M u r doch, who lived at ι ο ί N . Seventh Street. H e took his farewell of the company at his benefit on October 14, 1 8 3 5 , to go on the southern and western circuit for his health. Incidentally this occasion was his first appearance as Y o u n g Rapid in A Cure for the Heartache. Playing opposite these actors were usually the Misses Phillips, Elphin[95]

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE stone, Pelham, W a t s o n , and W h e a t l e y , and the usual surrounding cast made up of M r . and M r s . Jones, M r . and M r s . M a y w o o d , M r . and M r s . R o w b o t h a m , M r . and M r s . W a l s t e i n , and M r . and M r s . Watson. M a n y were the ambitious and extravagant operettas given at this time, and the make-up of the company at the Chesnut in particular reflects this popular demand. I n the year of 1 8 3 5 , approximately sixty performances of operettas w e r e given at the Chesnut, and only twenty at the W a l n u t . Furthermore, the latter w e r e usually slight musical burlettas, because the company at the W a l n u t did not have the talent for f u l l fledged operettas. O f the twenty-four regularly appearing actors at the Chesnut, about fourteen sang in the operettas, in name, M r . and M r s . R o w b o t h a m , M r s . M a y w o o d , M r s . W a t s o n , M i s s Pelham, M i s s W a t s o n , Messrs. Walstein, Burton, F a u l k n e r , Hamilton, T h o m a n , W a l t o n , W o o d , and H u n t ; of these at the W a l n u t only f o u r : M i s s M e a d o w s and the Messrs. ( T . D . ) Rice, H a d a w a y , and J . Reed. A n d , of these four, M i s s M e a d o w s was really a singer and not an actress, since she appeared in a dramatic rôle only several times during the year, and M r . Rice was a specialty actor w h o took no rôles that one could call legitimately dramatic, and only appeared with the company occasionally as J i m C r o w , his own act built around the famous song of the same time. Excellent w e r e the visting stars and featured players w h o came to Philadelphia in 1 8 3 5 , including at the W a l n u t M r . and M r s . J . Jefferson, M r . and M i s s Priscilla Cooper, M r s . E . K n i g h t , M r s . S. Chapman, M i s s V i r g i n i a M o n i e r , and Messrs. A . A . A d d a m s , E . Booth, Forbes, J .

H i l l , and Sol. Smith (the latter advertised as the Liston of the South) w e r e famous for their portrayal of American character, and the Y a n k e e in particular. A d d a m s , Booth, Forbes, and H o w s w e r e excellent tragedians.

THE PHILADELPHIA

THEATRE

M r s . Broad to the ranks of the regular stock players. Also, we include M r s . R . Hamilton, w i f e of one of the stock players, who appeared to gain considerable importance as the year went on. T h e addition to the regular company at the W a l n u t for 1 8 3 7 included M r . and M r s . Ν . H . Bannister, M r . and M r s . Herbert, M r . and M r s . ( J . ) Proctor, Misses E . Packard and White, and Messrs. ( J . ) Addams, ( J . B . ) Rice, and W . A . Vache. M r . and M r s . Bannister appear to be the most valuable acquisition, because they not only actually performed in plays, but also provided their own, since the husband was the author of such pieces as The Destruction of Jerusalm, Gaulantus, and Caius Silius. T h e y made their appearance on J u l y 28, in Bannister's own play of Infidelity, or the Husband's Return. M r . and M r s . Herbert, it is to be remembered, had been in the company at the Pennsylvania Theatre, but came to the W a l n u t , at the closing of the other theatre. M r . and M r s . ( J . ) Proctor came from the circuit of the western theatres. T h e Misses E . Packard and W h i t e were heroines, and the Messrs. ( J . ) Addams and ( J . B . ) Rice were stately actors of heavy and serious parts. T h e occasional actors at the two theatres f o r 1 8 3 7 were at the W a l n u t M r . and M r s . ( J . S.) Parker, M r . and M r s . Watson, Misses Angelica, Chester, Hichie, Honey, S. Packard, Parker, M . W . Warren, and Messrs. F . Brown, J o e Buts, S. Collingbourne, Cunningham, Dickenson, M c Conachy, Steel, and R . T h o r n e ; and at the Chesnut M r s . Gibbs, M r s . E . A . Hamilton, M r s . R . Hamilton, M r s . Lee, Misses Armstrong, Brown, Fox, Grove, Hancker, Lee, Lopez, Nelson, and Messrs. Anderson, Carnes, Craddock, Harrington, Kelly, Plumer, and M a s t e r Leavitt. T h e additional visiting stars for the two companies in 1 8 3 7 included at the W a l n u t M r . and M r s . John Greene, M r s . M e e r , M r . W . E . Burton, M r . Dan Marble, and Masters R . and J . M e e r ; and at the Chesnut M r s . Flynn, Misses Horton, Ellen T r e e , T u r p i n , St. Luke, Augusta M a y w o o d , Messrs. Browne, E . S. Connor, C . E . Horn, H . G . Pearson, Henry Wallack, G . Vanderhoff, Walbourne, Davis Jackson, and T a y l o r , and Master St. Luke. M r . and M r s . John Greene were comedians, as also were W i l l i a m E . Burton of the Chesnut, who appeared as a visitor on the boards of the W a l n u t for J u l y 29, while the Chesnut was closed during summer recess. Marble, like Hill, Hackett, and Finn, was a specialist in the portrayal of American character parts. M r s . Lewis apparently was a lady of prodigious ability. A glance at the Player-List will reveal her as Othello, Richard [ 100]

T H E ACTORS I I I , and Virginius. Mrs. Meer evidently was a mother first and an actress second, for to her belonged that child prodigy, the Infant Apollo, Master R. Meer. Miss Horton and C. E. Horn came in the company of Brough as support in his operatic repertoire. Mrs. Flynn supported H. G . Pearson, the classic tragedian. T h e Messrs. Vanderhoff, H. G . Pearson, and E. S. Conner were tragedians, and the Messrs. Browne and Henry Wallack were comedians. T h e troupe of four actors, Messrs. Walbourne, Davis, Jackson, and Taylor, were laugh-provokers and pantomimists. Walbourne's performance of Bob in Tom and Jerry, J u l y 17, was announced as his one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-sixth repetition of that rôle. Miss Ellen Tree was a Shakespearean actress in particular, and Miss Turpin was primarily a vocalist. T h e St. Lukes, brother and sister, were children who attempted to do Shakespeare, and L a Petite Augusta was the offspring of the Maywoods, stock players at the Chesnut. Apparently the child could sing the leads in operas like Maid of Cashmere and Dewdrop. T h e Pennsylvania Theatre lasted until February 18, because the Walnut was closed until February 19. Consequently, many of the players in the company at the Walnut appeared from time to time at the Pennsylvania. The occasional players included Mrs. Willis, Miss E. Packard, and Messrs. Berresford, Blanchard, F. Brown, Clarke, Connor, Conolly, Cony, Drummond, Duncan, Hadaway, Jones, M'Cutchen, McGuire, ( W . ) Myers, J . Proctor, Roland, J . Sefton, Slack, J . Wallace, Master Bowers, and the Watson twins. It is interesting to note that the name of J . Sefton appears at the Pennsylvania for the date of February 3d, in the rôle of Jemmy in The Golden Farmer, the melodrama in which he used to play at the Walnut two years before. Also it is to be noted that Mrs. J . Sefton was a member of the company at the Pennsylvania. W e must make mention of the German Company which occupied the Arch Street Theatre for one week during the summer and played Kotzebue's dramas. Their numbers included Miss Rottenhaus, and Messrs. Hirsh, Sachse, Gerharding, and Wilhelm.

1838 In 1838 so many changes took place in the ranks of the veteran actors at the Walnut that we find a growing number of new names usurping the [101]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E programs. Noticeably, Connor, the favorite stock player at the Walnut, is missed, and also J . G . Porter. T h e additions to the regulars for the two theatres this year comprised at the Walnut M r . and Mrs. La Forest, M r . and Mrs. Hield, Mrs. J . B. Rice, and Messrs. Burgess and Pickering; and at the Chesnut Mrs. Sharpe, Miss De Barr, and Messrs. E . L . Davenport and J . E. Murdoch. M r . and Mrs. La Forest played the comedies and M r . and Mrs. Hield the tragedies, with Burgess a supporting comedian, and Pickering a supporting tragedian. Mrs. J . B. Rice came to join her husband, who rose to the position of regular player in the company during the previous year. Mrs. Sharpe was a tragedienne, Davenport a villain ; and J . E. Murdoch this year returned as a stock actor to the Chesnut. T h e new occasional players for the year at the two theatres were at the Walnut M r . and Mrs. Kemble, Mme. L a Trust, Mrs. Wilks, Misses Hamblin, A . Porter, A. Packard, and Messrs. T . Bishop, H. A. Curfew, T . E. Garson, J . H. Hall, Harbord, Johnson, McCormick, Morley, Needham, Wills, and Winnan ; and at the Chesnut Misses Bunjie, Oceana Fisher, Pearson, and M r . Crowley. T h e visiting actors at the Walnut and Chesnut for 1838 included at the Walnut Mrs. W . Barrymore, Mrs. Davenport, Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Herring, Mrs. A . Knight, Mrs. J . B. Phillips, M r s . Thayer, Mme. Augusta, Misses Davenport, Gannon, Lee, Kerr, and Messrs. H . J . Amherst, ( D . L . ) Carpenter, T . S. Cline, Cooke, J r . , Foster, Gates, Horncastle, J . E. Murdoch, Parsons, Porter, Rodney, Russell, J . Sefton, and Woolford; and at the Chesnut, M r . and Mrs. George Jones, M r . and Mrs. C. Mathews, Mrs. H. Cramer, Mesdames Caradori Allan, Le Compte, Otto, and Master and Miss Wells. In Cooke's traveling company which came to the Walnut to give an engagement of melodramas appeared Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Herring, and the Messrs. Amherst, Foster, Rodney, Gates, Woolford and Cooke, J r . Madame Augusta, supported by Mrs. J . B. Phillips, Miss Kerr, and the Messrs. Horncastle and Russell, entertained the Walnut with the opera of La Bayadere. Other visitors were: Mrs. W . B a r r y m o r e with ( D . L . ) Carpenter, comedians; Parsons, classic tragedian; Miss Lee, dancer; Miss Gannon and Porter, the Lilliputian Wonder and the Kentucky Giant, respectively; Mrs. A . Knight in the character of Mrs. Haller in The Stranger; and Mrs. Davenport, another mother with a prodigious girl-child who at[ 102]

T H E ACTORS tempted the mature masculine roles of Richard I I I and Shylock. M r s . T h a y e r and the Messrs. T . S. Cline and J . E . Murdoch from the Chesnut visited the boards of the W a l n u t during the summer. A n d J . Sefton returned to the W a l n u t in an engagement of the old rôle which he played there as the stock actor of 1 8 3 6 . A t the Chesnut appeared M r . and M r s . George Jones, tragedians; M m e . Caradori Allan, Madame L e Compte, and Madame Otto, all visiting leads for the favorite operas; M r s . H . Cramer, heroine; and Master and Miss Wells, the latter appearing in opera, and the former in solo dances. M r . and Mrs. C . Mathews are of particular note since the husband wrote most of the farces which made up their repertoire—such as, He IVould Be An Actor and Patter versus Clatter. Both were well known, and M r s . C . Mathews was loudly announced as the former Madame Vestris. A t the time of their appearance at the Chesnut, the U. S. Gazette for Oct. 1 5 , 1838, carried an advertisement by T u r n e r and Fisher, booksellers, 1 1 North Sixth Street, to the effect that " N e a r l y all the pieces in which these celebrated artists appear . . . also, portraits of Madame Vestris and M r . Mathews and the Memoirs Of T h e Public A n d Private L i f e Of M r s . M a t h e w s " were on sale.

1839 T h e year 1 8 3 9 saw several major changes in the stock companies at the W a l n u t and Chesnut. M r . and M r s . J . Proctor were gone from the W a l n u t ; W i l l i a m E . Burton transferred his allegiance from the Chesnut where he was a stock actor to the W a l n u t where he became a featured star, appearing by engagement; M r . and M r s . J . B . Rice, regular performers at the W a l n u t , took their farewell benefit on April 26 ; and J . G . Porter, favorite actor at the W a l n u t , also was absent from its boards this year. M r s .

As additions to the two companies, we have M r s . W . Sefton (wife of the W . Sefton in controversy with Wemyss in 1 8 3 5 ) coming to the W a l n u t . T h e lady could play the dark rôles of Queen Gertrude and Lady Macbeth. A t the Walnut, also, as regular players this year were Messrs. Neafie and Mossop, comedians. T o the Chesnut as a stock actress, Miss Anderson returned under the new name of M r s . Thoman, wife of the [103]

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E singer. A n d M r s . H . Cramer, portrayer of heroines, in 1 8 3 9 appeared as a regular member of the company at the Chesnut. A t the same theatre this year regularly appeared T . Placide and W . F . Johnson, comedians. T h e new occasional actors at the two theatres for 1839 included at the W a l n u t M r . and M r s . Bennie, M r . and M r s . Hautonville, M r . and M r s . J . Herbert, M r s . ( W . R . ) Blake, Misses ( H . ) Mathews, M u r r a y , Reynolds, L a Petite Bertha, and Messrs. J . S.

O'Connell, Powell, Whitney, and ( B . ) W i l l i a m s ; and at the Chesnut Mesdames Faulkner, Hunt, Misses Ellis, E . Wood, and Messrs. Latham and J . M c D o w e l . T h e additional actors visiting the two theatres by engagement during 1 8 3 9 were at the W a l n u t Mesdames Fitzwilliam, Hazard, Seguin, Misses Emma Ince, Stephan, and Messrs. W . E .

Giubeli, Charles Kean, Manvers, Mulligan, Seguin, Wells, ( B . ) W i l liams, and Wilson. T h e operas were well represented this year by singers engaged to appear in musical repertoires. Noticeably, the W a l n u t began to call more and more of the operatic stars to its boards. In 1839, M m e . H a z a r d , M i l e . Stephan, and M o r l e y appeared for an operatic engagement at the W a l n u t , as did M r s . Seguin, whose husband was engaged in an operatic repertoire at the Chesnut with Miss Shireff and Wilson. M r . and M r s . Martyn, Miss Pool, and the Messrs. Giubeli and Manvers formed another visiting troupe of opera singers at the Chesnut. A t the W a l n u t also this year w e r e : M r s . Fitzwilliam, comedienne; M i s s E m m a Ince, featured dancer in operatic ballets; W i l l i a m E . Burton, the famous comedian formerly of the Chesnut ; Parsloe, a character actor of contortive proclivities (he was "the monkey who has seen the w o r l d " in the play of the same name) ; and W . Wood and his dog, both acting. A t the Chesnut in 1 8 3 9 were several excellent visiting players: M r . and M r s . Sloman, the w i f e a heroine, the husband, a light comedian ; Miss Hildreth, a heroine; Miss Vandenhoff, who played rôles opposite her father; and Charles Kean, the classic tragedian. A t Christmas time, a troupe composed of Messrs. Wells, Williams, and M u l l i g a n appeared in a time-honored and seasonal harlequinade.

T H E ACTORS 1840 T h e year of 1 8 4 0 requires the patience of J o b and the resourcefulness of a commercial genealogist to follow the peregrinations of the players from one Philadelphia theatre to another, for a bombshell was exploded in September of this year by W i l l i a m E . Burton with his newly built and owned National Theatre. B u t first, for the earlier half of the year, when theatrical life was still moving serenely, we must notice the addition of M r s . Hunt, M r s . W . Sefton and Lennox to the rank of regular players at the W a l n u t . A n d , also, we must remark M r s . Sharpe's farewell to the stage on M a y 5th at the Chesnut. A n d now we may come to the significant occurrence of the year: W i l liam E . Burton appeared to be the most enterprising theatrical spirit in Philadelphia. F r o m 1 8 3 5 to 1838, we remember him as the popular comedian, playwright, and acting manager of Pratt and Dinmore's Chesnut Street Theatre. T h e n in 1 8 3 9 he became a visiting star to the W a l n u t . Finally, in September, 1840, he eclipsed the thespian lights of both these houses by erecting and opening a theatre, the N e w National which he was pleased to call "the first in the Union," and which the newspapers of the day seemed to feel, likewise, was the best theatre that had yet come to our city. T h e reader is asked to follow the daily programs to note the variety of entertainment offered, and also, to notice carefully the names which make up Burton's list of regular players at the N e w National: M r s . Herbert, Misses C . Cushman, S. Cushman, Lee, Eliza Petrie, and Messrs. Boulard, W . E . Burton, Ferrers, Graham, Neafie, Oakey, T . Placide, ( C . S . ) Porter, P . Richings, J . R . Scott, Shaw, Stafford, James Thorne, Whiting, and Woodbury. Pratt and Dinmore's Chesnut also opened in the Fall, August 29th, with James E . Murdoch as acting manager. A n d Francis C . Wemyss opened the Arch one week later with a company that was not very strong. Actually with the best of the players at the other two houses, he had no material to work with, and after two weeks closed the Arch to prepare to turn it into a melodramatic theatre, as he announced. T w o and a half months later, he again opened with a different set of actors, who (if the present writer may venture to suggest) were not very impressive. Following are the two companies which Wemyss had at the Arch : for September 7 to 18, Mesdames H u n t and L a Forest, Miss Hudson, and Messrs. Hunt, J . M . Kirby, T . Mathews, and F . C. W e m y s s ; and for December 1 to 3 1 , [ 105 ]

W m . Dinneford opened the W a l n u t on November 14th, with a large company. F o u r of his players came to the Philadelphia stock company f o r the first time: Miss Mitchell and Messrs. Fredericks, Charles, H o w a r d , and N . Porter. B y this time of this year, players w e r e pouring into Philadelphia from the whole length of the Atlantic theatrical seaboard. Dinneford recruited many from Boston, N e w Y o r k , Baltimore, and Washington. H i s company at the W a l n u t included Mesdames J . S. Charles, Flynn, L a Forest, Misses A . Kinlock, Mitchell, M u r r a y , Rock, and Messrs. W . R . Blake, ( J . H . ) H a l l , H a d a w a y , ( J . S . ) Charles, ( W . S . ) Fredericks, Charles H o w a r d , L o g a n , N . Porter, and B . W i l l i a m s . T . Placide opened the Coates Street T h e a t r e (which L o g a n ran in 1 8 3 6 - 3 7 as the Pennsylvania) during the summer of 1 8 4 0 for three advertised nights, A u g . 19, 20, 2 1 , to play the national drama of The Battle of Tippecanoe. His company comprised Mesdames L a Forest, T h o m a n , and Messrs. ( D . ) Eberle, H . Eberle, K e l l y , Pickering, T . Placide, and T h o m a n . T h e new occasional players at the theatres for 1 8 4 0 included at the W a l n u t Mesdames Hutchings, B a r r y , Messrs. Hutchings, Behin, Booth, J r . , Brydges, E d w a r d s , Ferrers, S. Johnston, M c B r i d e , M u r r a y Pearman, C . S. Risley, J . Sandford. Vanstavoreen, and M a s t e r s Diamond and C .

Cooke, Jamison, and Quayle. T h e additional stars appearing at the theatres for 1 8 4 0 included at the W a l n u t Messrs. F r e e r and K l i s h i n g ; at the National, M r s . Bailey, M i s s J . Clifton, and Messrs. Buckstone, Braham, and J .

A l f r e d , M m e . Scheidler, Aille. Lorch, and Messrs. B o l l , Gohr, M e y e r , Runeg, and Rischler, who appeared at the Chesnut and gave Der Freischütz in German. A t the Chesnut also this year appeared M m e . L e Comte, M l l e . Pauline des J a r d i n s and Messrs. K a i f f e r and B . Grenich to sing La Sonnambula. A t the Chesnut in addition to these singers, were M i l e . F a n n y Elssler and M ö n s . Silvain, in ballet opera; [ 106]

of

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE actors with singing voices, since the theatres continued to produce operas. In addition to the veteran singers and stock players, the Chesmut in 1841 included M r s . Lambert, Miss A y res, and S. Chapman as regular performers. T h e new visiting actors were Messrs. Butler, classic tragedian; H . Placide, comedian; Charles Mason who played the title rôle of Werner; and Fitzgerald Tasistro, classic tragedian. T h e regular company at the Arch can be judged by the cast for the production of Philadelphia Assurance, Dec. 6, 1841. In addition to the old familiar names are those of M r . and M r s . Bennie and M r s . Harrison as stock players. T h e new visiting actors included Miss M e l t o n , Messrs. Sinclair, Latham, Lewellen, J. S. Silsbee, J. W . Smith, Picanniny Coleman, T u t h i l l , W o o d , and Master W o o d , his son. T h e cast for Nov. 6, 1841, at the opening of London Assurance gives us a list of the actors at the W a l n u t . M r s . Flynn, Miss Harrison, and Messrs. Haines, Henckins, and Lambert were the new stock players for the year, with Messrs. Gann, J. S. Jones, and H. Placide as the n e w visiting players, and M r s . Mossop as an occasional performer. A t the National, Messrs. E. S. Conner and Sherman entered the ranks of the regular players. M r s . Seymour, Miss E. Randolph, and W . H . Williams were added to the list of actors appearing by engagement at the theatre. A n d M r . and Mrs. C . Hiel, Miss Elvins, Miss Collingbourne, and Messrs. Archer, Larkins, and Plucker appeared occasionally. During the time that Mitchell leased the National and produced vaudeville with his Olympic Company from N e w Y o r k , the actors whom he brought with him were M r s . T i m m , Miss T u r n b u l l , and Messrs. Edwin, Horncastle, Graham, Roberts, Maharg, and Nickinson. 1842 Burton's National closed its doors at the end of January, 1842, and did not open them the rest of the year. Instead, L . T . Pratt of the Chesnut and Burton combined their two companies and played at the Chesnut. T h e following list gives the make-up of the two companies which combined : prior to the summer recess at the Chesnut, Mesdames A . Sefton, ( E . N . ) T h a y e r , Misses Hildreth, Kneas, and Messrs. (J. S.) Charles, Drummond, Faulkner, Gann, Jarvis, Mulliken, P. Richings, and W o o d ; and at the W a l n u t , Mesdames Cantor, G . Jones, and Messrs. E . S. Conner, W . Jones, E. Shaw, and J. Wallack. O n M a r c h 23, 1842, the two companies joined forces and, at that [108]

H i s company, under the stage directorship of T h o m a s F l y n n , included Mesdames ( G . ) Jones, ( J . S . ) Charles, M i s s A . Fisher, and Messrs. W . E . Burton, J . S. Charles, J .

Several futile attempts were made this year to keep the A r c h open, but a month or two brought the theatre to the end of its run after each effort. In M a r c h it opened and again, in A u g u s t , with T . B . Russell as lessee. T h e companies to be found there for these two openings were in M a r c h M r . and M r s .

Wemyss and Oxley leased the National in September, and opened it with the following actors: M r . and M r s . A'Becket, M r . and M r s . H . Lewis, Mesdames Abbott, Cantor, Madison, Miss H . Matthews, and Messrs. Faulkner, Fleming, Matthews, Mossop, J . H . Oxley, E. Shaw, and F . C . Wemyss. T h e Arch opened again in December, this time with W m . S. Deverna as lessee. T h e actors were M r . and M r s . J . Greene, M r . and M r s . (James) Anderson, M r s . Penson, Miss Kirby, and Messrs. Henry, Jamieson, A . J . Phillips, M . S. Phillips, Vanstavoreen, and Wareham. T h e Chesnut this year had several operatic seasons composed of t\fo engagements with an Italian Opera Company and one with a French Opera Company. Since Marshall leased both Chesnut and Walnut this year, he allowed the opera companies to sing at the Chesnut and moved his dramatic company over to the Walnut during the operatic engagement, moving back to the Chesnut again and closing the Walnut each time the operatic visitation was concluded. However, immediately following the run of the French Opera Company, in October, Marshall divided his dramatic company and kept both houses open until November 13, the opening date of the return engagement of the Italian Opera Company. These opera companies were, in personnel for the Italian, Mesdames M . Albertazzi, E . Corsini, Α . Majocchi, L . Marozzi, and Messrs. J . Guissinier, L . Perozzi, B. Thornes, and A . Valtellina; and for the French Mesdames Barneck, Calvé, Lecourt, and Messrs. Bernard, Lecourt, and Richer. In the order of their appearance during the year, the following actors comprise the new visiting players for 1843 : Philips, the comedian ; Barnes, the pantomimist, supported by Miss W a l t e r s ; R . E . Graham, playing Virginius and The Stranger; Macready, the classic tragedian, supported by R y d e r ; and the Elssler Brothers, strong men, in their play of The Hercules of Brittany. T o the ranks of regular stock actors in 1843, came Stevens, Radcliffe, Ja?. Hasbord, Altemus, Miss Baker, M r s . Madison, M r s . T o w n , Spear, Leman, Curtis, M r s . Abbott, A . J . and M . S. Phillips, Miss Kirby, Wireham, and M r s . J . Anderson. [ ill ]

T H E PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E Among the occasional players are the new names of Mrs. Forbes (appearing once with her husband, the star), Mrs. F. S. Myers, and Miss Julia Bell. 1844 T h e Walnut retained its company of the year previous, and added to its stock company the actor William Wheatley. T h e National likewise retained its full company of 1843, and added to its stock company Mrs. Hautonville and Messrs. Gallagher Byrne, Brookes, Brown, and T . Steele. T h e new actors occasionally appearing on its boards in 1844 were Messrs. G . Smith, T . V . Turner, and L . G . Thomas. T h e theatre closed in M a y , not to reopen for the rest of the year. In June, Burton leased the Arch and opened with the following company: M r . and M r s . C . Burke, Mesdames J . B. Booth, J r . , Hughes, Misses Cadell, Kirby, Wilson, and Messrs. G . Barrett, W . E. Burton, E. S. Conner, Faulkner, Graham, Grierson, Hawks, Hichman, Jervis, Ν . Johnson, W . G . Jones, H . Russell, Smith, Walters, and Weston. Messrs. Neville, Morris, and Addis were the additional occasional players at the Arch in 1844. In October Pratt and Wemyss opened the Chestnut with a large company which included M r . and Mrs. Forest, M r . and Mrs. ( H . C.) Jordon, M r . and M r s . C. Mestayer, Mesdames ( A . ) Knight, Hautonville, Misses Archer, Bryant, Cornish, Downes, Ferrai, Mack, McBride, Nelson, Palmer, St. Clair, Smith, Wagstaff, Wilson, and Messrs. Bernard, Brunton, W .

Moore, at his first appearance in America, played at the Chesnut for the one night, November 6, in the rôle of Claude Melnotte from the Lady of Lyons. T h e year of 1844 brought to the Philadelphia stage among the new visiting stars: Mrs. Wilkinson, Mrs. Maclure, and Miss Zann, heroines; Anderson, tragedian ; W . H. Crisp, and Jno.

THE ACTORS Particularly

numerous w e r e the n e w visiting stars for the year oí

1847: M r s . C o l e m a n Pope appeared in an engagement of nine performances at the A r c h , beginning J a n u a r y 13th, in the rôle of Jane Shore, J u l i a in The Hunchback, and P a u l i n e in The Lady of Lyons. D e B a r , the comedian, likewise played at the A r c h in the character of O l d D o d g e f r o m The Artful Dodger, and Satisfaction S k u n k in The Indian Girl. W i t h him, appeared M l l e . H . V a l l e e in the latter play as N a r r a m a t t a h , a part frequently taken by M i l e . Celeste. M i s s C . W e m y s s , presumably the daughter of Francis C . W e m y s s , f u l f i l l e d an engagement at the A r c h in the parts of J a n e Shore, Julie in Richelieu, and Bianca in Fazio. H e r father appeared t w i c e d u r i n g her engagement. J . B . Roberts, the tragedian, w i t h the support of M r s . A d a Stetson, acted for five nights at the A r c h in Pizarra, as w e l l as in Romeo and Juliet and other Shakespearean tragedies. M r s . F a r r e n came to the A r c h for sixteen performances, as E v a d n e , L u c r e c e B o r g i a , M a r y T u d o r , and A d e l g i t h a .

W a l t e r Shelley, Shakespearean actor, appeared four times at the A r c h , on each occasion in the different part of H a m l e t , B e v e r l y in The Ganiester, Richelieu and Shylock. C h a s . D . P i t t and E l d e r G . J . A d a m s , both Shakespearean players, also fulfilled engagements at the A r c h this year. It appears f r o m the records that the A r c h , to the exclusion of all other P h i l a d e l p h i a theatres, had the monopoly in bringing n e w visitors to its boards in the year of 1847, and it is to be remembered that W illiam E . B u r t o n w a s the lessee, manager, and enterprising spirit behind the operation of this theatre. A l s o the A r c h had the monopoly upon the ranks of n e w occasional actors appearing upon the Philadelphia stage this year. In the f o l l o w i n g list, M c K e o n

alone w a s at the W a l n u t and all the rest w e r e at the

A r c h : M i s s e s C l a r k e , H i l l , Jefferson, H . V a l l e e , and Messrs. G a r r e t son, M c K e o n , M o o r h o u s e , J . Scott, and T e l l i n g s .

1848 T h e year of 1848 witnesses on our record a great increase in the list of n e w names appearing upon the Philadelphia stage, not only in engagements, but also in stock. W i l l i a m E . B u r t o n , w i t h his accustomed [115]

A new theatre opened in 1848. December 25, 1848, J . S. Silsbee, owner and acting manager, opened the Athenaeum National Museum at the corner of Seventh and Chesnut Streets. D. P. Bowers was the stage manager. Silsbee himself is to be remembered as the visiting comedian and portrayer of Yankee rôles who appeared on the Philadelphia stage by engagement. His company at the Athenaeum included M r . and Mrs. D . P. Bowers, M r . and M r s . J . S. Silsbee, Misses E. Eberle, Hall, Jenny West, Young, and Messrs. Bamford, Crocker, E . Dean, ( J .

THE PHILADELPHIA THEATRE appearing w i t h M i s s Charlotte Cushman. T h e r e is also Farren, accompanying M r s . Farren, and M r s . Charles Dibdin Pitt, the comedienne, playing the leading comedy rôle on the same nights that her husband took the lead in tragedy. I n melodrama, Canfield and J . H . H a l l appeared, the latter in the equestrian spectacles of Eagle Eye, or the Steed of the Delawares, and the Horse of the Prairie, where K i n g Horse was really the hero. Littell, a heavy, played the part of Washington in Putnam, and B a y ley took the part of Washington in the new historical drama of Ben}. Franklin, or the Days of 1776, with Cartlick in the title rôle of the same play. T h e r e is one event in particular, which the present writer wishes to chronicle: the return of M i s s J e a n M a r g a r e t Davenport to the Philadelphia stage after an absence of eleven years. In 1 8 3 8 , under the tutelage of her mother, she was a child actress, attempting the Shakespearean rôles of Richard I I I and Shylock. B u t now, a woman, she comes back to Philadelphia as a gracious heroine. T h e r e is another absence of eleven years that must be noted in the reappearance of J . P . Addams. A m o n g the new occasional names for the year are those of M i s s B a r ber, Messrs. F r a n k Bowes, Vincent, Watkins, and Rogers—the latter known as the Stammering T r a g e d i a n , w h o stuttered through the rôle of Shylock. 1850 T h e company at the Chesnut for 1 8 5 0 included M r . and M r s .

A week or so later, the famous singer appeared at the Musical Fund H a l l for two evenings, with the lowest seats at four dollars. Jenny Lind's début in America had long been promised. Witness the effect of this promise in the titles of several dramatic sketches given [ 119]

Sanford's troupe regularly occupied the building at the Southwest corner of T w e l f t h and Chesnut Streets, known as S. S. Sanford's Opera House. Here they played burlesque opera exclusively.

1854 T h e year of 1 8 5 4 brings a great many new names to the ranks of the stock players in the Philadelphia theatres. T o the A r c h this year, W m . S. Fredericks came as stage-and-acting manager. Messrs. Shewell and F . Nelson D r e w , and M i s s O l i v e L o g a n were the additions to the regular company at the A r c h this year. T h e following names comprised the principals in the company at the W a l n u t : M r . and M r s . Bellamy, M r . and M r s . D . P. Bowers, M e s dames J . Brougham, F .

T h e National opened J u n e 3, 1 8 5 4 , for the summer, with a company composed of Mesdames Deering, ( Y . ) L e o n a r d , M i s s E . Deering, and Messrs. Ashmer, Chippendale, W . R .

T w o different troupes of English opera came to the Philadelphia theatres in 1 8 5 4 , one at the Chesnut f o r a week, beginning J u n e 6th, and the other at the W a l n u t f o r sixteen days, beginning October 30th. T h e opera company at the Chesnut, consisted of M m e . D e Marguerittes, M r s . Altemus, M r s . K i n g , M i l e . L o v a r n a v , and Messrs. A . G r a n v i l l e , Ferdinand M a y e r , and E . W a r d e n . T h e opera troupe at the W a l n u t had f o r its principals the Misses Pyne and Louisa Pyne, and Messrs. Borani and W . Harrison. In addition, there was an Italian Company at [123]

THE PHILADELPHIA T H E A T R E the Chesnut for a week beginning August 28th, under the direction of M a x Maretzek. T h e singers were Mme. Bertucca Maretzek, Signora Martini D'Ormy, Signor Neri Beraldi, and Signor Graziani. A new theatre opened its doors September 12, 1 8 5 4 : T h e City M u seum, Callowhill Street below Fifth, with the following players: M r . and Mrs. Ryner, Mesdames F. Ν. Drew, Ε. Ν. Thayer, Miss Hood, and Messrs. J . L . Gallagher, Hemple, J . E. McDonough, Langdon, Nagle, Β. J . Rogers, and ( T . J . ) Worrell. For 1854, the new visiting stars were Miss Agnes Robertson, comedienne; Lysander Thompson, comedian; Charles Henderson, tragedian; Garry Demotte, a player of melodrama; and George W . Kemble, also a player of melodrama. 1855 An abundance of new players came to Philadelphia in 1855, also, as a careful study of the stock companies will show. Perhaps, the greatest change in the stock companies was the transfer of M r . and Mrs. John Drew from the Arch to the Walnut for 1855. Apparently William Wheatley and John Drew dissolved the partnership which they had maintained for two years. For, in 1855, the Arch was known simply as Wheatley's Arch Street Theatre. T h e company at the Walnut for 1855 included M r . and Mrs. John Drew, Mesdames Duffield, Muzzy, Miss Bernard, and Messrs. H. A . Davenport, Perry, Shewell, and B. Young. During the week beginning November 19, 1855, a French Company appeared at the Walnut in plays of their own tongue, from writers as different as Corneille and Molière. T h e players were Misses Raphael, Sarah Felix, Lia Felix, Dinah Felix, and Messrs. L . Beauvallet, Cheri, J r . , Dieudonne, Latouche, and Randoux. T h e principal actors at the Arch for the year were M r . and Mrs. F . B. Conway, M r . and Mrs. F . N. Drew, M r . and Mrs. E . N. Tha-er, and Messrs. J . S. Clarke, ( J . R . ) Hall, and William Wheatley. S. E. Harris was the sole lessee and manager of the Chesnut in 1855, and, under his direction the following players appeared: M r . and Mrs. G . H. Griffiths, M r . and Mrs. J . J . Prior, Mesdames ( Ν . Η . ) Bannister, Rose Merrifield, Langdon, Estelle Potter, Misses Julia Dily, Gertrude Dawes, Little Lavinia Bishop, and Messrs. Edwards, S. E . Harris, Macarthy, (Charles) Mestayer, W . Olwine, Stone, and Studley. [124]

T H E PLAY LIST

THE PLAY LIST T H E f o l l o w i n g list of plays is presented in compact f o r m and therefore has required abbreviation and punctuation which demand explanation. Parentheses are used to enclose three kinds of

recorded material :

first, the year of the nineteenth century w h e n the play w a s performed, ( 3 5 ) representing 1 8 3 5 ; second, the name of an author w h e n it is necessary to show that it is not certain whether the author named w r o t e the play whose performance is recorded, such as

(by J o h n

third, variant spelling of the play-titles, such as The rat(/),

J o n e s ) ; and

Mayor

of

Gar-

to signify that the name w a s spelled in both w a y s on different

occasions. Quotation marks are used to enclose comments on authorship made by the theatrical advertisements in the newspapers f o r the day of performance. C o m m a s and semi-colons are used a f t e r the notice of the year to separate days and months, respectively ; and semi-colons are used also to separate years. N u m e r a l s represent the months of the year. Asterisks note first performances in Philadelphia. A

hypothetical entry w i l l serve best to acquaint the reader w i t h a

w o r k i n g knowledge of this system of recording : The

Matt

of Townl(e)y,

or The

Season;

"adapted f r o m the novel

of the same name by a gentleman of this c i t y , " comedy

(by

Brown

W h i t e ) . ( 4 5 ) C . - 4 . 1 0 * , 16, 1 9 ; 6.5 ; W . - 8 . 7 ; ( 4 6 ) A . - 1 . 1 0 . Interpreted, this recording means that Townley

sometimes appeared

w i t h one less l e t t e r ; and that the authorship of the play is uncertain, f o r the newspapers say only that a gentleman of Philadelphia w r o t e the work.

F o r good reasons, the present

recorder suggests the name of

B r o w n W h i t e but makes allowance f o r the existence of a doubt. W e can be sure, however, that a play called The

Man

of Townley

appeared

f o r the first time in Philadelphia at the C h e s n u t Street T h e a t r e , A p r i l 1 0 , 1 8 4 5 , remaining f o r A p r i l 1 6 and 19, and returning to the Chesnut f o r J u n e 5 and to the W a l n u t f o r A u g u s t 8. N e x t year, the play appeared at the A r c h Street T h e a t r e , J a n u a r y 1 0 . Abaellino, the Great Bandit; Wm. Abd-el Kader, or The French in AlDunlap: (35) P.-12.24, 26, 27. giers: (46) A.-1.17, 19, 20, 21. [545 ]
