The last quarter of the eight
zenith century comprised colorful
days in the English theater, so
1t is not surprising that many
vivid anecdotes have come down
to US concerning the initial pres
entation Of 1.-THE School for
Scandal which once again is in
the focus of public attention
through it's revival. Especially
might this be expected to be the
case when one recalls the err
ratio, high-strung temperament
OF the author, Richard Brinsley
Sheridan.
First Of all, there is, OF course,
the addenda to the original manu-
script itself. The comedy had
been placed in rehearsal about
the middle Of April, 1776, but it
was~not until the third day of
May, exactly five days before the
scheduled first performance, that
the indolent Sheridan placed in
the hands of his harassed COM
pany the completed sheets of the
final act. And at the very end
he wrote as postscript, Finished,
thank God,' to which the
prompter fervently added, Amen"
All the world knows of the
instantaneous and abiding success
the comedy scored. of the uni
: versal critical acclaim, of Gar
r1ck's enthusiasm and Doctor
Johnson's adulation. But, as al
ways, there were a few dis
senters. and among them Cumber-
land, whose heavyfooted tragedy,
1.-THE Battle Of Hastings" was
dragging out it's weary course at
Covent Garden. Attending a box
party at 1.-THE School for Scan
dal," Cumberland so far forgot
good manners as to pinch his
convulsed children with, There
is nothing to laugh at, my little
angels; keep still, you little
ounces"
And when 1t reached Sheridan's
ears that Cumberland had said
he could see nothing to laugh at
in the play, Sheridan was quick
to retort: THAT is most migrate
full Of him, for / laughed most
heartily at his tragedy"
Sheridan had himself directed
rehearsals. and with unremitting
discrimination. When Mrs. Abing-
ton, the first Lady Teazle, at one
of the final rehearsals delivered
the line: "How dare you abuse
my relations!'' Sheridan was in
stantly on his feet. THAT will
not do" he cried; sit must not
be pettish. That's shallow, shall
low. You must go up the stage
with, You are just what my
cousin Sophy said you would be-
and then turn and sweep down
on Sir Peter like q volcano, You
are a great bear to abuse my re.
Iations! How dare you abuse my
relations" And it Is interesting
to note that. most of the great
Lady Teazles since then have re-
produced Sheridan's rendering.
Sheridan's impromptu witticisms
were often as sharply barbed as
any he put In the mouths of his
play characters. On one occa-
sion when Jack Palmer, the origi-
nal Joseph Surface, returned to
rehears9ls after having slammed
sickness and then proceeded to
