King Lear Proves to Be the Most
Popular of Shakespeare Tragedies
It was , Charles Lamb who wrote.
sententlously enough, that "the Lear of
Shakespeare cannot ba acted," and then
went on to explain why. To read his
observations on the subject at - this
time is to - gain the . impression that
Lamb was not satisfied with the stage
hands of his day; for . his argument
seem to resolve itself down to a mere
s complaint that nature was abominably
counterfeited in the Uffhratng. thunder,
rain and storm devices employed in
such performances of the tragedy as he
naa seen unaertaxen, A great many
very good actors have meanwhile shared
and Indorsed Lamb's expressed opinion.
There is no record of any markedly suc
cessful revival of -the tragedy by any
of the dead-and-gone . tragedians, al
though nearly all the great -ones played
. the . mad . king. Edmund ' Kean would
- seem to. have been most , successful of
them all in this part. ' . -
Both Edwin ... Booth and Lawrence
Barrett played Lear, when they . were
individual stars, and they revived it
with other plays In the first year of
tneir; famous alliance, 1887-1888, Bar
, rett playing Edgar; but neither, Appar
ently, was highly successful In the
part, judging by the infrequency with
which it, figured ln their repertoire;
and, as co-stars, they did not even try
the tragedy in any of their New York
city engagements, although they played
It now and again "on the road.'
It would seem that a change has
come over the spirit ot theatre-goers
with regards for "King,. Lear." if one
may base Judgment .on Manager Wil
liam A. Brady's account of Mr. Man
' tell's revival of the tragedy, which will
be his opening-bill next week. Since
the revival . was effected, in December
of 1806, in . New Tork city, Mr. Brady
: has - observed the popular - attitude
toward It in every large city from Mon
treal and Toronto, in Canada, to New
. Orleans, and from Chicago and . St.
: Louis east to Philadelphia, Boston and
New Tork city. . ' ,
"The best evidence I can offer as to
the general appeal of the tragedy, in
our experience with IV says Mr. Brady,
"is the fact that 'King Lear is In the
parlance of field sports, 'scratch' with
us In engaging players. , I mean by this
that 'King Lear stands first "In our re-
, gard when we are making up the com
pany, w cast it ahead of any of the
other Plays, feeling that if we get a
cast of all-round competency for King
Lar' we shall have no difficulty, in
casting the other plays. . This is not
. an elective attitude with us, . by any
means; it Is forced upon us by the per
fection of the play Itself, as an exam
ple of dramaturgy and constructive bal
ance. Lear, the Fool, Edgar, Edmund,
Gloster, Oswald, Kent, France, . Bur-;
. gundy and Cornwall represent a range:
. of masculine character that Is well nigh
complete for all the purposes of- great
elemental tragedy based on human ex-j
perlence. . Similarly, the emotional con-1
comitants 1 of the female are encom- i
. passed by Cordelia,. Regan and Oonerlt. 1
Io other play or Brtakenneare s, not even
Trollua and Cresslda, although that is
never acted offers such a problem In
casting. Given satisfactory cast for
'King Lear . and none of the other
plays of course I speak mainly of the
, tragediesoffers any real difficulty,'
"I possess some old playbills , that
show this task to. have tieen a herlvv
one even In the overly glorified 'palmy
. days, wfcen actors of Shakespeare are
said ti have been a dnig on the market.
In ono' play bill of Edwin Booth as Lear,
the character of the Fool was among
the five omitted, while a playbill of
Booth as Lear, dated 1857, shows that
the Fool - Was played by a woman,
Georgia Dickson, well known In later
years as a capital actress of eccentric
old women. A so-called 'acting ver
sion' of the tragedy that was largely
used by the old time stock companies
transferred all the Fool's speeches to
Edgar, the Fool playing a merely pan
tominic and. decorative part in the per
fdrmnnce. .
"While the tragedy was not entirely
neglected in our theatres In that period.
It Is a matter of sheer fact thar 'King
Lear' had not been acted in English in
New York city- In 27 years when, three
years ago, I revived it there for Mr,
Mantell, The ' older- Sal vlni had acted
It there in Italian, and both Sonnenthal
and Possart had played it in German.
Ferdinand Bonn, the great German
comedian, was the Fool to Sonnen that's
Lear. Some of our minor actors had
played it through the country Fred
erick Warde. for one, In the south, and
Robert Downing, for another, in the
west u The role - was in the , repertoire
of the late William E. Sheridan, but he
never played it in New Tork-citv".
"But Sheridan's . performances In the
tragedy were the basis on -Which we
effected the revival. Mr. Mantell had
seen only one performance of the trag
edy, and that was a garbled version in
Italian by the great Rossi, who, from
all accounts, got no nearer to Shake
speare's ideal than do other Italian ac
tors Who undertake to play the poet's
works. I have, within a year twice
seen Novel 11 as King Lear,- and was
a mated to find that he conceived the
role as that of a senile, doddering peas
ant, broken-hearted with grief, but with
never a suggestion of the : king which
Lear. Is before and beyond all else.
"I was the' assistant stage, manager
of the old California theatre, San Fran
cisco, when Sheridan played a "long en
gagement there In a round of the trag
edies, - including 'King Lear,. In the
early 80's,. and It was due to my mem
ory of the performances of the tragedy
there that we - were - able to revive It
with due attention to all the traditions.
No attempt was made to find an exact
historical period for the action, for we
preferred . to regard the. play as, like
'Hamlet,' a' poetic and philosophical
ideal, and so paid no attention- to mere
material and. objective unities. - The
counse of Shakespeare's plot was sn old
ballad wnicn may or may not have
been based upon an actual happening m
the reign .or some minor, and remote
potentate. . In the acenio depiction- of
the geography of the piny, we followed
the text as far as It afforded any clue,
but the proper pictorial' atmosphere
should bo that of anti-Christianity bar
barity just escaping Into surface civil
ization. Of course we were-compelled
to show some regard for the symbolism
of the play and the characters, so that
we aressea corneiia in snot less wnite.
although even the guessed-at-period ot
action was - one in which . the washtub
was unknown. ,
s "An asset of "great value last season
was the publication of Count. Tolstoi's
rorthriojht, outer, ana unqualified de
nunciation of the play a bit of pam
phleteering' - that 'sent hundreds upon
hundreds of non-theatregoers to see the
play as given by Mr. Mantell;' Tolstoi,
seeking' to express his complete r con

philosopher, used 'King Lear' as his

'King Lear were Wfii worm xne
plaving even without a popular or able
star for the name-part. It Is something
more than a mere vehicle for a robust
trn trod inn nf the lpather-lunared variety.
The popular Impression, I know. Is that
Ij-nr calls for an actor who-is a sort
of vocal superman, who can shout loud
er man xne munuer mai raines iwui
his abandoned head on the bare, bleak
heath where he wanders In the .storm.
Why? The very kernel of the play s
philosophy is the helplessness of tho
old man exposed to tne elements, wnai
call is there for a lion's rosr in such
incidents as the scene with the Fool at
nioster's. or the mock trial held with
Edgar and the Fool as the abating
storm shows the old man's wits to have
fled, or that wonderful running com
ment on humanity's frailties when, be
decked with wild flowers this royal
madman meets with and fails to recog
nlre the outcast Edgar after the storm?
'Tolstoi rails at ShnKexpeare s pni-
losophv, which never is In agreement
with the Russians. Yet. has the latter.
In all he- has written and said In his
futile, mistaken life, ever given birth
to a single line so pregnant with tne
experience ot Humanity as r;agar s.
'The gods are just, -and of our pleasant
sins make Instruments to plague us'T
Or. that other line eloquent of the value
of good clothes to conceal defects from
the eyes of the world: 'Through tat
tered garments, small, vices doth ap
pear." Two notable revivals of "King Lear"
in recent years were made abroad. One
was Irving's. moc in the decade be
fore his death. It was not successful,
patently, for he withdrew It very soon
afterward, and did pot undertake the
role on any or his siinsequnt-visits
here. The other was effected in Paris,
about three years ago, by Ateine, and
was marked by a great to-do over Its
archaelogical variety, the realism of the
storm scene, etc. .
. Mr. Bradv has in his possession a
copy of Tate's famous adaptation nf
King Lar an adaptation even more
ridiculous than the one made byColley
Olbber of Shakespeare's "King Richard
III." Tate reshaped the course of the
story to make for a happy ending, with
Edgar wedded to Cordelia, although
there is not in Shakespeare even a re
mote hint that either might have cared
tor the other. They do not even meet
in Shakespeare. Yet. this traVesty of a
ereat tragedy held the stage from 1680
until 1838, or more than a century and
a half, and such great actors as Garrick
and Kembls were content to act in it,
seeking to delight their audiences with
"the circumstances of Lear's restoration
and the virtuous Edgar's alliance with
the amiable Cordelia." .
The date of composition of "King
Lear" is set. down as 1606.
