\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Talkin\u2019 about the \u201cpolyglot\u201d performances of Salvini and Clara Morris, as a \u201cfarewell\u201d to Booth\u2019s Theatre, a knot of actors and theatrical people the other day got discussin\u2019 the point who started the idea here in this city of polyglot performances and where the first polyglot play was performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Tomasso Salvini, tragedian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Now the first manager in the city of New York\u2013and, I think, in this country\u2013to engineer a performance given in different languages was William Stuart, of the old Wallack\u2019s Theatre and the Winter Garden; and he got the idea by a mere accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Stuart was at that time managin\u2019 Edwin Booth, who wasn’t doin\u2019 very well just then, and Stuart was bothered what to do to stir up a Booth boom. He and the manager of the German theatre, the Stadt Theatre, now the Windsor, were very friendly, and one night Stuart dropped in to have a look at Dawison, a German tragedian, playin\u2019 an engagement to tolerable audiences, but of course entirely German.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Somethin\u2019 was said comparin\u2019 Booth and Dawison, and then in the midst of this casual talk the idea came to Stuart, like a flash, to engage the two tragedians\u2013the German and the English\u2013and to have \u2018em both appear at the same time in some Shakespearean play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Stuart generally takes ideas\u2013just as he takes everythin\u2019 else\u2013pretty easy; but the night he got that idea of a polyglot play he didn’t go to sleep at all, but set up thinkin\u2019 about it, and drinkin\u2019 about it\u2013in about equal proportions to think and drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The more he thought and drank the better the idea looked, and the next day he mentioned the idea to Booth. Booth was struck with the singularity of the idea; he couldn’t help confessing that it was singular, but he didn’t like it for a cent because it wasn’t all Booth. There was too much of Stuart and of Dawison about it. So he pooh-poohed the project. But meanwhile the people pooh-poohed him; he was playin\u2019 then to not quite an average hundred dollars a night, and he began to look black and feel blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And meanwhile Stuart kept on painti\u2019g what tremendous houses there would be if Booth would but agree to his idea, and offerin\u2019 Booth big terms to play a special polyglot engagement with Dawison. Finally, usin\u2019 the line, \u201cmy poverty but not my will consents,\u201d Booth consented, and then Stuart rushed over to see Dawison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He found the German tragedian much more easy to get along with than the English or the American, and soon came to terms\u2013which principally related to the money to be paid cash down by Stuart, Dawison astonishin\u2019 Stuart by carin\u2019 little about the fame of the thing, but carin\u2019 a good deal about the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And then Methua Schiller was engaged to support the tragedians, and in order to make the play particularly polyglot, it was arranged that she should play in English and German both, speakin\u2019 English to Booth and German to Dawison, as her part required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This made the performance doubly polyglot and triply interestin\u2019, and the polyglot \u201cOthello,\u201d the play chosen, became town talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The excitement was well worked up in the newspapers, and when the time came there were tremendous houses. The Winter Garden was packed every night, and packed with money. For the first time in Stuart’s management there were no passes issued, the free list was absolutely suspended, and about five hundred men of all classes and conditions were reduced to the sad alternative of either payin\u2019 for goin\u2019 inside or stayin\u2019 outside, and to do \u2018em justice, most of \u2018em stayed outside. They were men of principle as well as their own interests. They would rather have died than paid. After all, there is somethin\u2019 heroic about a deadhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Winter Garden was crowded, though the price of admission was tripled, seats downstairs bein\u2019 raised from seventy-five cents and a dollar to two and three dollars a seat, and the applause was about equally divided between the two tragedians. Booth didn’t like Dawison’s share in the applause a bit, but then he solaced himself with his share of the receipts. As for Methua Schiller, she played right along, rather enjoying her double sets of cues in two languages, but then, as Stuart said one night in the green room, \u201ctwo languages at once are nothin\u2019 to a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The polyglot performances passed off admirably, before and behind the curtain. But they seemed to have been the turnin\u2019 points in the careers of two of the three parties principally concerned in \u2018em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 From the date of those polyglot performances, both Dawison and Methua Schiller began to go down hill. Dawison went mad shortly after, and the papers at the time said it was owin\u2019 to this polyglot worry. And Methua Schiller had a good deal of trouble, and died suddenly along with her husband and children, of the cholera, not long afterwards. Of course, all this had really nothin\u2019 to do with the polyglot plays. But actors are a very superstitious set, and the idea got abroad that polyglot performances were unlucky, for the performers at any rate, though naturally Stuart, who made money off of \u2018em, held that this idea was all a mistake. By the by, Stuart, not long ago, thought of the avalin\u2019 himself of the great friendship and admiration existin\u2019 between the German actor, Herr Barnay, and Lester Wallack to get up a polyglot performance with these two in the cast. This would have been a novelty indeed, but the idea fell through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Stuart and Lester Wallack always have been intimate since Stuart had the old Wallack Theatre, and kept up the intimacy still\u2013by many little social courtesies from Wallack\u2019s side. Lester Wallack somehow used to be two years older than Stuart, but now he is several years younger. Stuart, too, owns up to bein\u2019 an old man, whereas Wallack still calls himself, and insists on bein\u2019 called, too, young. Probably this is the very reason the genial comedian really keeps so young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Talkin\u2019 of young and old, there was Collins, the famous Irish comedian, years and years ago, who was always in such a capital state of preservation, and whom Barney Williams used to detest so\u2013as his only successful rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Well, Collins was playin\u2019 an engagement at Niblo’s one time, and didn’t do as well as he had in previous engagements, and felt a little \u201cexercised\u201d about it. He was sure he acted as well as ever, as he really did, and seemed to be as popular as ever with his audience, as he was, but somehow these audiences were not as large as they had been. He felt just a little piqued and bothered over that fact, but he carried his pique and bother\u2013just as he carried his years\u2013very jauntily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      One mornin\u2019 he was sittin\u2019 in the office at old Niblo’s, hummin\u2019 a sentimental ditty of Moore\u2019s, \u201cThere’s nothin\u2019 half so sweet in life as love\u2019s young dream,\u201d and hummin\u2019 it well, too (Collins could really \u201csing,\u201d whereas Barney Williams really couldn’t, which was a big point in favor of Collins, though Williams had most fun in him) when his son, Collins, junior, who acted as Collins, senior\u2019s, agent, yelled out, at the office door, to the treasurer (not seein\u2019 or hearin\u2019 his father), \u201cIs the old man about anywhere?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cBy jabers,\u201d cried Collins seizin\u2019 his cane as a weapon, not as an ornament this time, stoppin his Moore suddenly and startin\u2019 up, \u201cI know now what’s been hurtin\u2019 me all through this last engagement. It’s not me\u2013it’s him, the young rascal. It’s me own son goin\u2019 round the town and alludin\u2019 disrespectfully and detrimentally to his own father as \u2018the old man.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And \u201cthe old man,\u201d who was bound to be young, \u201cwent for\u201d the young man, who called him old, with a sharp stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stuart was forcibly reminded of his gettin\u2019 old, and of the lapse of years in general, some time ago on Broadway. As he was passin\u2019 along he heard a voice cry, \u201cWhy, Stuart,\u201d and lookin\u2019 up he saw the well-known sport, Hastings (Dublin Trix), whom he had not met for years and years. The two old cronies took a bottle of wine together, and then, over more wine, Hastings referred to the great Heenan and Sayres mill\u2013a fight which both men had witnessed\u2013Stuart as a representative of the New York press and Hastings as a professed sport. On that memorable occasion a few men were permitted inside of the staked ring, the few embracin\u2019 say some twenty men of more or less note, including includin\u2019 Stuart and Hastings \u2018emselves. But of all those men inside the ring that famous day, those two men, Stuart and Hastings, over their wine, were the only two still alive. All the rest\u2013the other eighteen or so\u2013had \u201cpassed in their checks\u201d and \u201cjoined the silent majority.\u201d And Stuart says he has felt an older man ever since he met Dublin Trix. But Edwin Booth still lives and thrives, havin\u2019 the well-deserved luck of bein\u2019 destined to a longer and brighter existence than his own splendid temple of the drama, which bankrupted him and his, and has nearly bankrupted everybody who has had anythin\u2019 to do with it, and which will soon be wiped out as a theatre forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Editor’s notes: The original Booth’s Theatre, at 23rd St. and 6th Ave., offered it’s last performance in 1883: a benefit for the theatre janitor. In 1884 the building housed McCreery’s Department Store, which lasted until 1965.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
