-t COOKE, : 1
‘THE CELEBRATED PLAYER. o
From Pyley's* Itinerant ; or Meémoirs of an A8or.”"
Cookeis so well kaown asan ator;
that my opinion can neither add to
“nor diminiih his fame; were either
in my power, panegyric wonld run
through a dozon pagés, and yet fall =
. short of his merits. Infoae charac
ters he is as much superior to any
actor of the present day, as Garrick
to those of his time ; where these can
be disposed with he has no competi
tor. Asa manin private life, be is
the gentleman, the scholar, the friend,
the life of every party, an enemy to.
{candal and detraéion,and benevolent
even to imprudence. 5
Such is Cooke in his sober mo
ments ; but when fimuolated by the
juice of the grape, he adls, in- diamet
rical oppofiten to all this. No two
men however different they may de,
~ ¢an be more at variance than Cooke
sober and Cooke in state of ebriery.
At these times his interelling suavity
of manners changas to brutal invec
tive, and the feelings of his nearglt
. and dearest friends are facrificed.
~Such are the unfortunate properfities
of this fispular man ; unfortunate 1
{ay, because he seems incapable of a
... woiding them, although they have a
tendency to ruin his health, injure his
property, and destroy his social con
pe&ion. No one can more repret
these failings than he does in his hours
of sanity, or make more handsome
apologies ; and if in the night he
creates enemigs, his conciliato;y man.
ners in the morning are sure to raifg
double the number of friends. Of
this great aftor many ludricous an
ecdotes are related. 1 shall point
out-a few which came under my own
observation. _ _
~ One evening in Manchester, we
were in 2 public bar, afongh a pro
*mifcuous company, where Cook: was
as ufial the life of the party. Miih
- aad ‘good humoar prevailed till about
ten o’clock, when I perceived a some
thing lurking in his eye which tore.
tolda florm. Anzxious to get home
before it burst forth, I prefled our
departure under the plea of another
engagement, but inflead of having
the desired effedt is precipitated what
I had forefeen. With a haughty;
supercilious look he said,
¢¢ ] fee what you are about, you
hypocritical scoundrel ! You canting,
methodiftical thief ?Am I Cooke to
"be controled by such a would be puri
tan as you ? I will teach you to dic
tate to a tragedian.”” Then pulling
off his coat and holding his it in 3
fnenacing attitude—*¢ Come oat {con.
tinned he) thou prince of deceivers ;
though thou haft faith to remove
mountains, thou thalt not remove me
~—come out, I fay !”—With much
difficulty he was pacified and resumed
his coat. There was a large fire in
the bar, before which stood with his
coat skirts under his arm, a pitiful
tmitation of suckisM, very deficient
of cleanliness and custom. His face
was grimy, and his neckcloth of the
fame tint, which neverthelels was
tolled in various folus about his
throat ; his hair was matted, and
turned up, under a round grealy hat
with a narrow brim, corceitedly plac
ed on one fide of the head, which nod
ded under it like a shaking mandar
in. Thus equipped the fiithy fop
firaddied before the jfire which he
. compleatly monopolized- At:length
he caught the eye of our: tragedian,
who, in silent amazement,for the space
of half 2 minute examied him from top
‘to toe ! then turning to me, he burlt
into 2 loud laugh, and roared out
* Beaw najly, by——"" Perhaps in

his feat, and taking up the skirts of
his coat, in imitation of the other,
“turned hisback ro the fire. ¢ Warme

he. Then approaching Qill fearer,
- as if he had some secret to communpi
