THE DAILY EVENING TELEGfKAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1867. 6 V SLIPS CI THE STAGE. GAGS" AND "LAPSI LINGUI." lTnrli,M'd etnge-effectr, hare, irom the very nrliret times, produced con-equences of a varied character, yet all of more or lens Ira .rt.nrn. TheT have excited lauehtnr. siir. priao, Indignation, and they have occasionally inferred immortality on actors who would not otherwise have belonged, at least permanently, lo famet ... , . . i The lrfffnds that bo pleasantly concoct Shake rpeare with Queen Elizabeth are not alt perhaps to be taken to the letter; but there can be no doubt that they are founded on a broad basis of truth. There is one which narrates how th thieen, when Shakespeare wagjonce acting In her presence, endeavored to put him at pleasant perplexity between his sense of staire discipline and that of his loynl gallantry. Alter many a vain attempt, we are told that Elizabeth, cross inn the stapre whereon the poet-actor was enact ing the counterfeit presentment of a king, and enaeed in royal work, dropped her glove. , Shakespeare, without departing from the char acter lie was illustrating, interpolated the orleinal text with words to suit the action of his homage. He paused in a processional move went of which be made a part, exclaiming: "And though now bent on this blah embassy, y.t stoop we to pick up oui cousin's glove ' and rendering it to her with a profound bow, proudly strode off the stage, thus: proves that Elizabeth did succeed in dvtachingr the actor from the part which he was representing. This story, however, indicates how intimate tbe connection was then between the staae and court. Some slips on the old stage brought the offen ders to great grief. For example, Pcpys makes record ol bavins gone to see Alt's .Lost by Last, in which the musical effects had been so ill re henrscd that sincere and orchestra were all at odds, and universal discord reigned. One vocal lad was so out of tune and memory that his "master" which may Imply either the stage manager or the leader ot the band "lull about his ears, and beat him bo that It put the whole house in an uproar." Now and then instances have occurred In which themispronum-iation of a word has given it a meaning so incongruous as to cover the actor, who had been Involuntarily guilty of It, with confusion. Audiences, or rather portions of audiences, not overburdened with redne ment, have generally bailed these, awkward slips with uproarious hilarity; the other portion has remained discreetly silent, as If it had lacked ears whereby to receive offense, or tongues to resent it. Downes, the old prompter of Charles IPs days, has recorded one of these misfortunes. It occurred to a lady, Mistress Holden, a kins woman of the great Betterton. She was play ing in Borneo and Juliet, when a fatal word fell unintentionally from her lips; and as she hap pened at the moment to give it "vehement action,'' says Downes, "it put the house into uch slaughter that London bridge at low water was silence to it." Charles Eemble once slipped in a like direction; but the most amusing instance ot an error committed by htm against text and author was when he was once playing "tihylock," and instead of asking, 'Shall I lay perjury upon my soul f" overturned the text by exclaiming, "Shall I lay surgery upon my poll ?" A better known story is that of the soldier, who levels his halberd to prevent "Richard" from impeding the progress of ''Henry's" funeral, with the remark, "Sly lord, stand back, and let the coffin pass 1" exclaim, in his hurry and confusion, "My lord, stand back, and let tbe parson cough 1" Such a mistake, however, has many a parallel. Oa the French stage a young actor having to shout, "Sonnez, trompettes 1" knocked ail the majesty out ot the command by his shout of, 'Trompez, son Tiettes 1" And, indeed, the French stage can furnish a parallel to the story of the error of lire. Holden which made a full house so hila rious. The story is told in tbe correspondence of the Princess Palatlne.iunder the date of 1719. 8be was then at Dunkirk, where the players acted in the presence of the court. One or them, performing "Alithridates," happened, by un lucky change of a letter, to address to"Mouime" a word that conveyed great offense in the utter ance. The unlucky actor, in his contusion, made matters worse by turning to the royal box, in which the Dauphinees was the most conspicuous personage, and saying with great contrition, "Madame, I most humbly ask your pardon: ra v tongue unwittingly tripped me up I" The Dauphin was 60 tickled by this incident that he not only fell into an uncontrollable fit of laugh ter, but fell backwards from his seat. To save himself he grasped at the cord which kept the . curtain up, and the curtain coming down by the run, struck against the lamps, and caught fire. The flames were immediately extinguished, but the curtain could not be raised, and the play was acted out, the audience looking at the per formers through the gap caused by the fire. One of the pleasanteat incidents ot the French court stage, however, occurred when the Em- Seror Napoleon jokingly hissed the Empress osephlne, who was acting a little operatic part in the theatre in the palace of St. Cloud. Sho demurely stepped forward and remarked that any one of the audience who was diasatlstted with the performunce might retire, and have his money returned to him at the doors. The con sequent laughter was uproarious. There are other slips on the stage than those made by words. At the beginning of the last century, on the French stage, the slipping of Barton's garter led to a traditional action ob served in the part ot every succeeding player; and the other nieht only, at the Vanctes, the slipping of Mad'lle Chaumont's petticoat pro duced an amusing unrehearsed effect. In the first case the great French actor was per forming the "Earl of Essex," and his garter slipped from below his knee, in the scene where only he and the traitor "Cecil" were on the Btagc. Such a personage "Essex" might treat with indifference or contempt; and accordingly he replaced the dropped band TOUDd his leg, while he continued to address "Cecil" in a diedainfultone. The effect was so successful that succeeding actors adopted the incident ot affecting to lighten the garter as a good "bit of business," and the tradition . continued to be observed as long as Le Comte atsex continued to be acted. Mad'lle Chau mont's slip was ot another character. It taxed her readiness in an emergency, and did not find her wanting. fine was play ' Ing a soubrette in Aos Gens, and was en- faged running to and fro to collect and urn the presents of various old lovers. In the very middle of her action she was im peded by her petticoat suddenly fallinc about er, eet-f course- Uv M very prciiy -ftriiela ot 1W sort, and she got out of it, and of the embarrassment which had come with it, by describing it as a tribute of admiration from one of her old admirers, which must be Bacnueu jiao ' w ,, uu ouc lurum 11 into the stage fire accordingly, wlih a merry . . J IIL. nil t tl I. Mutl OIlH nVm .1 . laugh, and amid the general mianty of the limine. The Baron mentioned above was one of the preatest actors of his time; but when he grew old the cruel French audiences of the period, forgetting his past greatness, began to Insult Lim.and as he was one night playing "Nero," they even hissed himl The aged monarch of the staee folded his arms, walked sternly down to the footlights, and exclaimed. "Ungrateful pit I 'twas I who taught you I" It was a slip of the toneue, he used to say: but he was nettled that they who had been made by him judges of good acting should have turned their knowledge against their instructor. Very numerous are the stories of the slips, mistakes, transpositions, and wilful variations made from the author's true reading by provln rial actors. Many of these, however, are merely ' lm frK'stories; they, at all events are not to vc y , 1(h' .,.,. nf anthenticitv. At , .' " r"ImTThr.udaclti or indifference of LTMreadyudtomakeia "Blchard,; by not i-.vrillmlnff "My lorl, the Duke of Buck wLm i, takenl" but adding the further infor atio? "and we'w cut off his head l"-cannot Sow be determined. There is, however, some warrant for another stray story in connection , thi, TwisTape Two strolling player were t"ItSd' and "Catesby."at the Bul- erv exceptional tayiuts ""-"e," . cTaY stages. Whether the rural actor does not belong rather to romance than to .reality, who Is ?nr la. iioiniiiv no ed a row which "Calrsby," eager to do well, went wrong, and missed bis text. "My lord," be said, "the Puke of Richmond is taken I" Opon which 4 Rich- rd," with humorous gravity upon his face, stepped lorward and intimated to the housei "It what this fellow says be strictly true, and Itichn ond now be held in durance vile, the play you see comes suddenly to end 1" And nothing could be truer than that fact, although it was delivered in blank verse, to mshlon which is to the actor sport. But we will not guarantee the genuineness of this "lory. The actors invent them as readily as the members of the Stock Exchange do conundrums. Among the traits of stupidity put to the ac omint nf actors, by which droll unrehearsed effects have been produceil on the stage, there is none that is supposed to convey greater " r .i,nt thA that whl-h dUiInlal,o I i'1""' " ""'V,;r:ir. s .Vt r . tne buiui . . -L. ,'lt,,i-"rcvi -,.ra Tnrrhlrvn in the trine. The ..a players are mentioru, each cs being the hero of this story, but the ordinal "Lord Burghley," or "Burleigh was Irish Moody, far too acute an actor to be suspected lor a fooL When Shflidan selected him for the part, the manager declared that Moody would be sure to commit some ridiculous error, and ruin the effect. The author protested that such a result was impos sible, and according to the fashion of the times, a wager was laid, and Sheridan hurried to the performer of tbe part to give him such instruc tions as should render any mistake beyond possibility. "Lord Burghlej" has nothing to say, merely to sit a while, and then, as the stage directions informed him, and Sheridan impressed it on his niiu-d, 'Lord Burarbley' comes forward, pauses near 'Dangle,' shakes his bead, and exit." The actor thoroughly un derstood the direction, he said, and could not err. At nipbt be came forward, did pass near "DhuIc," frhook his ("Dangle's") head, and went solemnly oil I Now, if this veMon of the story bo correct. Moody must have been instructed by the manngcr so to act as to win the wager lor him; he having backed Moody on the strength of his stupidity. On the other band, if the story be really historical, the incident must have happened at rehearsal, and Moody have been t-ubstituted for some Inefficient player originally cast tor the character. At this period great liberties were often taken by actors with audiences; and not very long before this an unrehearsed stage effect occurred which was connected with an act of imperti nence on the part of a couple of players. Mrs. Griffiths' Ftatonic Wife was dragging its slow length along, wearying those on the stage as well as the audience in tront. At the end of the third act the performers grew more Im patient than tbe audience, and Holland and Powell, two respectable players, thrust their heads out from opposite sides ot the stage when the "drop" was down, and earnestly ap pealed to the house to stop the piece by "damning" it then and there." The thing seems incredible, but the circumstance belongs to stage history; but nobler plays than the above lady's have been in peril. Although Ueoree III once said that Lord Thurlow might as well play "Hamlet" as Cooke, George Frederick often acted the part, out of London. Reynolds tells us that wheu Cooke was once playing this part iu Ireland, he was seen sharpening his sword before the fencing match, and gave as a reason to curious inqui ries: ,fI and Mr. Laertes will to night in reality settle our little disputes." The "young lady" who took interest iu "Laertes" iuformed him of the peril In which he stood; and accordingly, when the fencing-match came on, the son or "Polonius" rushed in on the heir of Denmark, seized him in his arms, gave him a back fall, planted his knee upon him. and looked from the astonished George Frederick to tne aston ished audience with the proud air of a man who had introduced a new reading, and had been remarkably successful. Moderation or reserve were things not to be expected, generally, from George Frederic Cooke, thou eh he coflftd practise both when the gentlemanly humor was upon him, or wheu it otherwise suited his purpose. lit on one occa sion consented to go down from London to play "Cato." for the benefit of a poor actor, a quon dam friend, in a country theatre. It was the character which Cooke played worse than any of those for which he was ill-suited, yet which he would play. The tragedy itself is not one that is likely to be well handled by a provincial company; and on tbe occasion iu question it met with supremely ill usage at very incompe tent hands. All the appointments were bad, and what little of the text was remembered was delivered with many variations and a comic in difference to the rules of pronunciation. Cooke, however, was good-natured and intolerant. He swore a little, laugnea a gooa deal, and bore with all, more or less patiently, till there was a general break-down, In the senate scene, owing to a universal foreetlulness of the text, which the most skilful of prompters could by no means remedy. TbiB does not imply that Cooke's patience lasted long. In fact, he was oniy toicrani or amusea wuue ne looKea ou from the wing. The senate scene is in the second act, and it is the first in which "Cato" appears, as "Decius" says: "In Utica, And at the bead of your own little senate!" Semnronius" and "Lucius" had tumbled through their parts with much of that tran.pos lne ot initial letters which came afterwards to be called "marowskying," aud which often pro duces tne most laugnaoie enecis; ana --aiarcius" had referred to "Decius" as the "Knoman right," instead of "Roman knight;" and "Cato" had lust exclaimed, "Father, 'tis time you came to a resolve," to which "Lucius" replied not quite according to tne text "xnai is exactly our way of thlnklne!" when Cooke's (and "Cato's") endu rance broke down. He started from his chair, and exclaiming, "witn sucn a senate Home iteelf were damned I " rushed off the stage, to the great admiration of the house, who. if they did not expect him to take hla seat again, were cer tainly not disappointed. our ancestors, down to a time as late as our cM-ntwifnthPrs' r.ertftinlv tolerated liberties taken with an audience by actors with a leniency that is the more surprising, as ine manners oi me times were ruder and the customs of a very ruf fianly rrmrnntAr. There are still individuals living who may have seen Edwin. At the close of his career Edwin was playing "Bowklt," in the Son-in-Late, at the Haymarket. In the scene where "Cranky" declines to accept him in-law. on account of his ugliness. Kri win nitered the word "uely?"ln a tone of surprise, and then advancing to the lamps, said, with great coolness and infinite Impudence, "Now, I submit te tbe decision of an enlightened British public, which is the ugliest fellow of the three I, old "Cranky," or that gentleman la the i,t -no, nf the balcony box?" The eentleman became the object, not of general pity, but of general and loud deruion, ana ne reireaiea nas tily lroua the humiliating consequences of the actor's impertinence. t . .-iA iht Parsons, who played "Cranky," was very indignant with the treedom which Edwin took with fttm on mat ucuauiuu; uuiuu croaslv in this reeDect toan Parsons himself. He naa no reyerenuo evt-u persons who should be above insult, if it were otiIv t.oonua thov are unable to resent it. I ar sons, at the same theatre, was once playing one of the two workmen who build the BcaUold (In the Mega of Calais) on which are to be executed "EuBtarhe. a Rt Pierre." aud hla eallaut com rades, in the course of his fart he had to Bay: "So the ki. An' the kins like not my scaffold, he is uo true man 1" Ou a night that George III was present, Parsons, instead ot keeping to what was set down for him, ap proaehed the rovni w. looked at the sove' reln, and rudely exclaimed, "An' the king wero here, and didn't admire my scaffold, I would say, 'D him. he him in tnte 1' It U said that the Royal George was the first In the gene ral laugh that broke forth, and the last to desiBt lrom such unseemly hilarity. If so, one can comprehend why he detected bo much un intelligible nonsense in bliRkPfiiiPftre. For much less offense, Sir Robert Walpole went down nuui uib iwj, uu jjcunuy canea an actor who had gone out of his part to muit nrtVnstve allusion to him. The public sympathy was with .1...
