Copyright, 1801, by Seymour Eatom. XXX The Kembles. The period between Garrick’s retirement and the dawn of the rgmantic school of acting is filled by the Kembles, the grea est family of actors that ever graced the English stage, ent for acting is not uncommonly n father son, but in t ve becn five Roger Kemble, the f: rmrrw:l inl the daughter of a stre ma r who had been an actor under | Bett; erton. Of their twelve children eight reached maturit, some appearance on the stage. The first and greatest was Sarah known Mrs. Siddons, “the Muse.” She was on the stage from her very cradle, married at 13 a handsome young actor who boasted that he could play anything from Hamlet to Harlequin and made so reputation in the pr inces. before Garrick invited her to join his company in London. Her first s with' was anything but successful she played Lady Anne to his Richard and g was pronounced “lamentable.” She was forced to retire again into the prov- inces and to ¥ herscif In her art. When she re; at apital six s later it was to win an instant and triumph. Her beautiful figure, her thrilling volce absorption in her showed her a tragic actress such as the age Lad never seen before. It ¢ that she ventured on bella in ‘‘Meas- s her first, and Con- stance ln "Mng John” her second. But beychd all question was that of de) Macbéth. Her |»~='fl-rmuh<‘n of this character was pronounced perfect from beginning to end. The sieep-walk- ¥ ing scene, especially, she filled with such | a horrer of remorse as to leave an indell- ble impression on all who saw her. Siddons was essentially essful in com- arts. Her great roles were those of ‘a( v Macbeth, Constance, Queen Kather- ine and Volumnia. She did not charm so much as overwhelm, and her worship- ers were never weary of commemorating evoked n a goddess or an " says Hazlitt. T Jotty manner of the stage she carried into | private life, and many storles are toid of her high tragedy airs toward servants and strangers. re reminds me,” said Washington Irving, “of the knights of Eranksome Hall— ““Who carved at the meal With gloves of steel, the red wine through the helmet less th was not Her brother, John Phillp Kemble, was probably her inferior in genius, butinone the less he was the greatest actor be- tween the retirement of Garrick and the dawn of Edmund Kean. Like his sister, he appeared on the boards in ex- trome youth. His sister's great success brought him to London, where he made his debut in Hamlet. It was not an in- stant success. Many found him hard and his harsh_and tuneless voice dis- d those who remembered the thrill- s of Garrick: all admitted ing t that it was a great performance, studied, high thoughtful and filled with a cert nobility. This, in fact, was the keynote of Kemble's character as of his acting. He was proud—vain even, his enemies | sald—but he was a scholar and a gentle- man, and all that he did was nobly done. His dellvery was, in a sense, a return to the artificial school which Garrick had banished from the stage. Not that he ever fell into the old droning sing-sons, but in comparison with the natural liveli- n of Garrick and the pasaionate utter- e of Kean there was always some- fhing of the consclously elaborate in his declamation. * Little need be said of tue other mem- y. Stephen distinguished hnimself by playing the part of Falstaff without padding, probably the oniy actor since Quin capable of so appearing in the part. Charles Kemble was called a first- rate acter of second-rate parts. His Hot- | spur, Falconbridge and Mercutio were unrivaled. His daughter, Fanny Kemble. carried on the tradition of the family tili well into the middle of the nineteenth cen- | tury. Three Great Players of the Nineteenth Century. Edmund Kean, who arose in the early years of the nineteenth century to chal- lenge John Philip Kemble's undisputed | sovereignty of the tragic stage, was the ible contrast to that stately The son of a stroll- incredible hardships. He tramped the country with his mother, giving exhibi- tions at country fairs and in the public He lived off turnips and cabbages in the fields. He shipped as cabin boy to Madeira. Through lall his trlals he preserved the same | haughty and indomitable spirit, am- | bitlous, passionate and unrestrained. | When an unknown actor in the provinces | he ran away to the woods rather than play Laertes to the Hamlet of Master Betty, an infant phenomenon of the day. “I'll_play second to no man in_England but John Kemble,” he cried. The time came when he was no longer to play sec- ond even to Kemble. After many yvears of acting in the prov- inces he at last secured an engagement at Drury Lane. For a long time, however, not permitted - to make his debut. He insisted flercely on*appearing as Shylock, and in spite of the opposi- tion of the manager and the sneers of the company he gained his point. IHis debut is one of the most remarkable events in the history of the English stage. Un-' known and friendless, playing to a cold and critical audience, he simply took the house by storm. No such first night had been known in London since Garrick's day. In Richard, his ‘next part, he chal- lenged_comparison with Garrick himself. ‘By Jove, he is a soul!" ‘wrote Lord Byron on witnessing the performance. “L|re, nature, truth without exaggeration or diminution. Kemble's Hamiet is per- | fect, but Hamlet is not nature. Richara is a man and Kean is Richard.’ He went on from triumph to triumph. Hamlet was thought to be Kemble's greatest role, but Keanis pa:,lbnate emo- tion showed a thousand new" beauties in the part. His Othello was said to have been unequealed in the history of acting. In Lear he had the courage to restore the | original fifth act of the play, long super- | seded on the stage by Tate's absurd “happy ending.” “No one knows what I can do till he sees me with Cordelia dead in my arms,” Kean said, and the effect he g:oduced unon his audience was utterly wvond description. But perhaps his atest -impersonation was that of Sir fles in “A New Way to Pay Old Debts. During the Jast scene ladies were carried | from the boxes in hysterics, Lord Byron fell into a fit of strong convulsions, and the @ctress who was playing Lady Ali- worth fainted away on the stage. But the very violence of passion which made Kean so great was the means of his destruction. He was unable to withstand the temptations of his suddenly achieved success. He squa money like a madman, setting e emna ko play_with piles of sovereigns and bundles of b.nk- notes, signing away, huu Sums to sharp- ers, drinking, reveli mm‘ all manner of wild pr. rica he | joined for a time a band o Hurons, who elected him their chief, and from whom he was rescued by ais friends on the ship Ilala near Ucletet. he 't ity.

In a long engagement in ew York he acted Richard III, Shylock, Lear, Romeo and Hamlet. In 188 he w jok the management of the Winter arden Theater in New York, and in the following winter brought out a splendid g o BB L ed for a hundred consecutive nights, a reccrd unparalleled in the history of the stage. It would serve no purpose here to go into the detai's of Booth's life. It was | devoted throughout to his art. He eon- ducted for a time the noblest theater that this country has ever seen. He traveled throughout the land, spreading every- where a taste for the beautiful and the ideal in dramatic art; he visited England and Germany and won from foreign audi- ences the most generous tributes of praise. He lived to be the dean of the profession in this country, the founder of !he Players’ Club in New York, and the revered and beloved frlend and Rllrun of a younger generation of actors. No player Since the time of Betterton has occupied the position that Edwin Booth held in his last years. Booth had nothing of the versatility of Garrick. and was happily devold of that craving for novelty which led Kean and Kemble to waste their genius on_trifiing parts. His roles were few in number, but h was a finished and noble piece of workmanship. he nt attributes of Booth's art." says his blographer, “‘were e matles insight, grace, intense emotion and melan- l choly refinement. The controlling at- tribute—that which imparted individual character, color and fascination to his acting—was the thoughtful introspective habit of a stately mind, abstracted from passion and suffused with a mournful dreaminess of temperament. His flne person, his grave melancholy faee, golden’ miracle of a voice, all contributed fo make him an ideal poetic actor. But is physical gifts shrank into insignifi- cance when compared with that mental superiority which lifted him so_far aboxs the rank and file of players. Booth was a modest and unassuming man, but he never needed to claim the first place on any stage. It was conceded to him at once as an_inherent right.
