Forrest and the Muscular school Of Actors
When Edwin Forrest Kisses like serpent, o
cackles like d goose or butts like ram, or glare
at you like a fiend making Hamlet look and ae
through entire scenes like man in the last stage
II of deiirinm trenens-the audience conducts ltsel
II as if it were witnessing some wonderful miracle.
Y Intact the people do not breathe. ].
The audacity of the thing they do not see
much less % they see that all this while they are
being fearfully bulled,
have witnessed Just such things, and worse, il
4 private life, 2 9s5 ass M
t 4 have seen coarse minded, noisy fellow, by
u mere force Of muscular demonstration, silence {
whole company Of really intelligent and thought
n fill persons, and from the fact that he made thu
most noise, and appeared to be what folks call i
,, earnest y impress them with the belief not on
that he was in the right, but that he had very abb
n stated bis case. 81. z
! Ihave been affected that way myself
4 Moreover, like many other people, hay
nerves. Y and there are moments when musct
lar beast taking me by surprise, and sprIngng III
: terrible magnetism upon me, will produce yer
i much such an effect as Is produced every night b
= Forrest upon thousands Of people.
4 But when recover my senses am indignant
n having been thus imposed upon, and feel that
i owe it to the community to take my revenge b
!, exposing the whole thing.
: : And Forrest comes here just in time to give N
i 4 the chance TO do so
7 desire, therefore, most distinctly to protes
I with Hamlet, against this entire muscular business
i and to denounce all who indulge in it-on th
stage, in the pulpit or anywhere else, as thoroug
S mountehanks and eharlatans.
There is much less of 1t on the stage than in th
i pulpit, for the simple reason that most preacher
: are extremely ignorant. and can reach their aud
ences in no other way than by noise and rant; hr
there is good deal Of it on the stage, and il 70
+ I had ten grains of sense, General. you would hoe
i it off-for In such cause contend hooting, hiss
{ ing and even more violent demonstrations, an
! quite legitimate
saw ranting, bowling preacher suppresse
| once by some sensible man opening the chure
! windows and letting the noise out into the air.
The congregation which moment before wer
I awe.struek with the demoniac noises (and faces
the man was making, experienced instant rei
and went to their quiet homes nearly as sar
H as when they left them.
I am aware, Of conrse, that Forrest knows
we'll as anybody that Hamlet's idea Of acting, al
d not his own, Is the true one. But Forrest Ill
i Barnum, Beecher, and Sturgeon and Bonner, go
9 in for making money, and he can make mo
i money ssplitting Of the ears of the groundngsa
i and, good Heaven. what lot of them there are
y split, and how splenaidiy he splits thenl-thi
d perhaps he could make in any other way.
