CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND DESIGN O F THE STUDY
Background of the Problem
O n February 20, 1769, Jonson's Every Man in His Humour was f ir s t
performed in America by the American Company at the John Street Theatre
in New York.l Shakespeare's contemporaries were thus introduced to the
American stage; they would continue to be a part of American dramatic
production history until well into the next century. Versions of plays
by English Renaissance dramatists were performed in America for many
years and in widely divergent geographical locations.
The story of Shakespeare in America has been told frequently and
in d e ta il, prim arily because directors used Shakespeare as a vehicle
for th eir numerous staging experiments, and also because actors chose
certain roles which they played whenever they had the opportunity.
That Shakespeare was produced often in America during its early his
tory is not surprising; Ben Jonson had said of him afte r his death,
"He was not for an age but for a ll time."
Shakespeare's contemporaries, on the other hand, were more "for an
age," and, in addition, did not suffer from a s u rfe it of worship and
adulation such as was lavished on Shakespeare. The history of the
American productions of his contemporaries does, however, illuminate
early American dramatic taste as well as theatrical practice.

Columbia Univ. Press, 1927), 147.

Statement of the Problem
This study undertook to present the extent to which the plays of
Shakespeare's contemporaries were produced before the C ivil War in what
is now the United States.
The problem involved answering the following two basic questions.
(V) What plays of Shakespeare's contemporaries were produced in Ameri
ca, when and where? (2) What were the forms, variations and versions
in which they were produced? The f ir s t question is answered in the
geographical and chronological records. The second is considered in
the text which discusses the significance of and conclusions from those
assembled records.
Some attention is also given to the relation of the American pro
duction record to that of England, to significant changes in the Ameri
can production record up to 1861, and to the relation of that record to
the twentieth century.
Significance of the Study
The production history of the plays of Shakespeare's contempora
ries in England afte r 1642 has been assembled in considerable detail by
numerous scholars writing stage histories of various authors or d e ta il
ed introductions for editions of specific plays. Very few such works
mention the American record at a l l , with the possible exception of New
York. The dramatic histories which provide detailed annals of specific
regions of the United States are widely scattered and many are general
ly unknown. Thus, researching the detailed American record has been
extremely time-consuming up to now. The recent publication of m y
2
American Regional Theatre History to 1900: A Bibliography2 should make
such studies more feasible.
This study provides a detailed American production record for
Shakespeare's contemporaries, thus beginning detailed checklists for
the United States. The study, in addition, extends the studies for
England and supplements them by assembling the American records of nu
merous English actors and actresses. I t brings together very widely
scattered facts and makes updates of previous studies possible. For
example, Robert Hamilton B all's The Amazing Career of S ir Giles Over
reach provides detailed information on 383 American productions of
Massinger's A New Way to Pay Old Debts prior to the Civil War. This
study notes 316 additional productions not mentioned in B all's book.
Fin ally , the study provides the record of those plays whose American
production history has never been assembled.
Limits of the Study
This study is lim ited to detailing the production record prior to
the Civil War. Generally, that means that data has been included up to
June 1, 1861. Some regional studies end at 1860 and subsequent records
could not be examined. Consequently, the cut o ff dates for data vary
somewhat from c ity to c ity , but in no case go beyond June 1, 1861, a
date a rb itra rily taken to be the end^of the dramatic season.
The C ivil War interrupted normal touring patterns of traveling
2 Metuchen, N.J.: Scarecrow Press, 1979.
stars, the chief presentors of the plays of Shakespeare's contempora
rie s , and disrupted or discontinued regular theatrical a c tiv itie s
throughout both the Union and the Confederacy. Furthermore, no plays
of Shakespeare's contemporaries which had not already been produced in
America before the C ivil War were introduced to the American stage un
t i l the end of the nineteenth century. A New W ay to Pay Old Debts,
Evadne and Duchess of Malfi were produced during the C ivil War and as
late as the 1880's but the rest of the plays had v irtu a lly disappeared.
Data for this study has been lim ited to printed sources, including
doctoral dissertations and master's theses. No e ffo rt has been made to
search the newspapers of the country fo r information on possible pro
ductions in areas which have not had such material compiled in some
preliminary form. Thus, some areas o f the country are only p a rtia lly
covered for the total period chosen, but the gaps are unavoidable for
purely physical reasons. In addition, fu lly detailed annals are not
available for a ll years of a ll towns covered. Additional lim itations
are noted in the introduction to the chronological records.
Literary analyses of acting versions or comparisons of adaptations
are not here undertaken, but reference is made to where some such dis
cussions may be found.
F in ally , decisions on what plays should be included were complica
ted by the fact th at, ultim ately, there is a fine line between adapta
tions and versions and those plays influenced by or indebted to e a rlie r
works. For the most part, the tit le s included are lim ited to the ones
considered in Donald Jacob Rulfs' 1939 North Carolina dissertation,
"The Lesser Elizabethan Playwrights on the London Stage from 1776 to
1833" and to the ones in Allardyce N ico ll's A History of English Drama
1660-1900. Such a lim itation is somewhat arbitrary but does re fle c t
general scholarly consensus.
Definition of Terms
For purposes of this study, "English Renaissance drama" is under
stood to be that drama written in English between 1585 and 1642.
"Shakespeare's contemporaries" are those dramatists whose plays were
w ritten between those dates. The obvious terminal date is 1642, the
time at which the theatres were o f f ic ia lly closed for eighteen years.
The beginning date of 1585 was chosen because that marks the f ir s t
play of Marlowe, who was to re v ita liz e drama and inaugurate its renais
sance in England.
"America" is considered to be that part of the North American con
tinent which eventually became the United States.
Review of Literature
Only two works present any detailed facts about early American
performances of plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries. The previously-
mentioned book by Robert Hamilton B all, The Amazing Career of S ir Giles
Overreach, is a production history of Massinger's A New W ay to Pay Old
Debts, and about half of the book presents the American record. How
ever, those productions are confined prim arily to the major c itie s of
the Eastern seaboard because dramatic scholarship had covered those
5
places f ir s t . Detailed annals of St. Louis, New Orleans and other Mid
western and Western c ities were not then available. Many detailed re
gional studies have now been completed and make i t possible to present
a more complete picture.
The second work to present factual data on American productions is
Frank W . Wadsworth's a rtic le "Some Nineteenth Century Revivals of The
Duchess of M a lfi. 1 ,3 I t lis ts performances prim arily from playbills and
does not make use of detailed regional annals. Consequently, its l i s t
ings can now be considerably expanded.
Design o f the Study
The major part of this study is the extended chart detailing the
geographical and chronological records. States are covered alphabeti
cally and c itie s within states are ordered alphabetically. The chap
ters preceeding the production records serve as b rie f introductions to
the records of individual plays and consider some of the conclusions
which can be drawn from the assembled data. They do not attempt to
present the fu ll American acting history of each play. Contemporary
reviews are not considered and the diaries of actors and actresses have
not been used. The data is intended, for the most part, to speak for
it s e lf .
3 Theatre Survey, 8 (November, 1967), 67-83.
Organization of the Remainder
of the Dissertation
The comments on individual plays are divided into three chapters,
based on number of plays produced and on authors.
Chapter I I prim arily considers those plays which were the only
ones by th e ir authors produced in early America. The la s t part of the
chapter considers those playwrights who had two of th e ir plays produced
in pre-Civil War America.
Chapter I I I considers the early American production record of the
plays of Beaumont and Fletcher. The plays are discussed in the order
of th e ir presentation to the American public.
Chapter IV considers the record of Massinger's plays on the early
American stage, also in th eir order of introduction to American audi
ences.
Chapter V presents some overall conclusions based on the patterns
the assembled records present. Some reference is made to twentieth-
century production records for purposes of comparison.
The bibliography is divided into two parts. In order to make
documentation within the chronological and geographical records both
fu ll and inobtrusive, a numbered bibliography has been used for a ll
those works which were searched for data on the American record. The
other bibliography is fo r the chapters of discussion and specifies
those works which present the London record, analyses of acting ver
sions, and other miscellaneous m aterial.
Source Materials U tilized
This study, because i t covered such a wide geographical range and
considered an extended time period, u tiliz e d secondary materials only.
The study set out to discover what could be learned about the fate of
Shakespeare's contemporaries on the early American stage on the basis
of currently available knowledge.
Local stage annals were essential for a study of this kind. Al
though i t was imperative that as many available studies as possible be
found, the somewhat chaotic bibliographical state of early American
dramatic history made i t clear that an appropriate reference book had
to be compiled f i r s t . As a result of many hundreds of lib ra ry con
tacts, a number of works are here used for research for the f i r s t time.
A few works could not be used due to lost copies or circulation re
stric tio n s. Since many regional dramatic histories are master's the
ses, they became important sources for data in the production records.
Some regional dramatic annals exist only in single manuscript copies
and are not available for use at other locations. Consequently, they
were not used.

Ben donson's Every Man in His Humour was the f ir s t play of Shake
speare's contemporaries to be presented before American audiences. I t

Despite the fact that i t was revived in both 1846 and 1853 when
many theaters were functioning throughout the country, no other loca
tion took up the play for even a single performance. No other E liza
bethan play cited herein with a somewhat sim ilar production total had
such a severely limited geographical range.
From 1776 to 1833 the play received 65 performances in L on d o n ,^
usually at least one a year, and sometimes several, but this popularity
was not repeated in America. George Frederick Cooke, between December
17, 1800 and March 6, 1810, played Kitely in London in 33 perfor
mances,5 but for only three in America. The Philadelphia performance
brought receipts o f $1356.50,^ but his f i r s t New York performance

No one was able to make Every Man in His Humour a h it in America.
Nevertheless, Every Man in His Humour was the only play of Ben Jonson's
produced in pre-Civil War America. The Alchemist was produced as an
afterpiece in Drury Lane on March 21, 1782 and seventeen more times
soon thereafter; The Fox (Volpone) was produced at the Haymarket on
September 12, 1783 and nine times soon thereafter; Epicoene was pro-
Q
duced once, at Covent Garden on April 26, 1784. There is no known
record of any early American performances for these plays.
Mil to n --Cornus
John M ilton's Cornus was the next work from the period to see pro
duction in America. Its wider geographical range is seen from the
following assembled production record.

Most of its early performances were in Philadelphia, primarily as
benefits; the Baltimore performances were also by the Philadelphia com-
pany. Com us had been quite popular as an afterpiece on the London
stage between 1776 and 1833 with 230 performances,10 200 of them before
1806.11 This popularity, however, did not carry over to America, where
only 26 performances are recorded.
The 1848 New York performances were perhaps inspired by the Mac-
ready London performances of 1843, a series of fourteen running from
IP
February 24 to May 13. The New York performances were expensive and
13
were elaborately produced, lasting for nine nights. But, thereafter,
Comus was not performed again on the American professional s ta g e .^

Ben Jonson and John Milton each had a single work produced in
early America. Others who also had versions of single plays produced
included Richard Brome, Christopher Marlowe, William Rowley and John
Webster. Brome, Marlowe and Rowley each have a very small American
production record. Webster's, on the other hand, is quite large.
Brome—A Jovial Crew
Richard Brome's A Jovial Crew was performed only once in America.
Its May 26, 1813 performance in Baltimore was by the Philadelphia com
pany as a benefit for Mr. Wood. The play was performed in London be
ginning on March 29, 1780, for a total of fourteen performances by
15
February 25, 1782, and was also performed on December 15, 1791.
Marlowe--The Jew of Malta
Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta was also performed only
once in America. Its March 26, 1821 performance at the Anthony Street
1 f
Theatre in New York was at a benefit for Edmund Kean. Kean had acted
in the play twelve times in London in the spring of 1818,^7 (April 24-

Webster--Duchess of Malfi
John Webster is the only other Renaissance playwright to have only
one of his plays produced in early America, but his Duchess of Malfi
was by fa r the most popular of such plays. Although i t was introduced
late in the period, on August 22, 1857, in San Francisco, there are 99
performances recorded in the production records assembled. In order

Although i t was introduced by the Starks in San Francisco and
played twice by them in New Orleans, i t was the Wallers who took the
play a ll over the United States and starred in almost a ll of the per
formances. The Starks are recorded only for two additional perfor
mances in San Francisco in May, 1859 and for two in Stockton, C ali
fo rn ia, May 31 and June 10, 1859. The Wallers brought the play to
Mobile, Montgomery, Chicago, Fort Wayne, Lo uisville, New Orleans, Bos

17
Pittsburgh, Memphis, and Richmond, and most lik e ly to many other

26

She had already performed the role in Richmond on November 27, 1857,
before the Stark's New Orleans performances. Mrs. Waller continued to
27
perform the role as late as March 10, 1876, in Cincinnati.
The play had f i r s t been revived in London at Sadler's Wells on
November 20, 1850 in a version by Richard Hengist Horne,23 productions
in which Mr. Waller had played Antonio.2^ I t thereafter received quite
a number of performances throughout England through the 1860's .30 I t

performed in early America, Thomas Dekker and James Shirley; Dekker's
record is very short, S hirley's very extensive.
Dekker/Dun1ap--The Ita lia n Father
William Dunlap's The Ita lia n Father is based on the second part of

Neither play based on Dekker achieved any popularity on the
American stage, even i f the adaptations were introduced here and were

hand, is quite d iffe re n t.

production record is d if f ic u lt to trace because the s u b -title is the
same as a farce by Douglas William Jerrold f i r s t played in London on
April 30, 1821.36 I t has not been ascertained to what extent the

S hirley/S heil— Evadne
James S hirley's The T ra ito r, altered by Richard Lalor Sheil as
Evadne, or The Statue, had an American record very d iffe re n t from the
22
plays considered so fa r. F irs t, i t had a great many American perfor
mances, and second, this extensive American popularity was not dupli
cated in London, at least before mid-1833. Evadne was introduced in
London on February 10, 1819 and performed 32 times by July 8, 1819 and
at no time thereafter before mid-1833.38 Despite an in it ia l popularity,
the play did not la s t over h alf a year in London.39
The American record d iffers markedly. Its f i r s t American perfor
mance was soon a fte r its London opening, on May 24, 1819, in New York.
I t continued to have productions almost yearly thereafter and at widely

A total of 535 performances of Evadne are recorded in the produc
tion records here assembled, plus fourteen performances dated 1859-
1880, making the play second only to A New Way to Pay Old Debts (699
performances) and far ahead of the th ird play, Rule a Wife and Have a
Wife (184 performances).
No star is specified for 191 performances; the rest are divided
between 57 named stars. Julia Dean and Eliza Logan are by far the most
frequently cited (Dean, 69 performances; Logan, 59 performances plus
two possible). The e a rlie s t lis te d performance for Julia Dean is a fte r
July 19, 1847 in St. Louis; the e a rlie s t for Eliza Logan is a possible
performance September 23, 1847 in Lo uisville. Mrs. Alexander Drake

(30 performances, plus two possible) and Dora Shaw (22 performances)
are next. The rest of the stars' totals are as follows: Mrs. Farren,
16, plus one possible (two lis ted as Mrs. Henry Farren, the others as
Mrs. Farren or Mrs. George Farren); Mrs. Potter, 12; Mrs. A.F. Baker,
11; Avonia Jones, 10; Annette Ince, 7; Mrs. Barnes, Eloise Bridges,

Mrs. Lewis Baker, C. Chapman, Miss Commies, Mrs. Conner, Mrs. Virginia
Cunningham, Mrs. C urtis, Lizzie W . Davenport, Margaret Jane Davenport,

and Miss Woodbury.
The play was very widely performed and in a number of places was
the only play given of the type here studied. I t was widely performed
until the 1880's, especially by Mary Anderson, who is recorded starring
in the play in Atlanta in February 1 8 7 8 ,^ in Portland, Maine on

lous p lay,"46 and perhaps i t was by then. The only la te r performance
noted in the course of this research is one in Louisville on April 21,
1888 starring Georgia Davids.4^
Evadne, then, had great appeal to the American audience, had wide
distribution and was produced for a seventy-year period, involving a
great many actresses as stars, but prim arily Julia Dean and Eliza
Logan, who performed the play nearly everywhere they appeared.

CHAPTER I I I
BEAUM ONT AND FLETCHER
Some of the plays of Beaumont and Fletcher were quite popular on
the early American stage; others were performed very l i t t l e . The plays
w ill be considered in the order of th e ir introduction to American audi
ences.
Rule a Wife and Have a Wife
Rule a Wife and Have a Mife was the f i r s t Beaumont and Fletcher
play performed in America and the one having the largest number of per
formances, a total of 184. I t was f i r s t performed in America on
April 24, 1777 by B ritish m ilita ry actors at the John Street Theater in
New York and given two more performances soon thereafter in early May.
I t next appeared in Maryland as a short farce called Perez and E sti-
fa n ia , according to extant p la y b ills . Two other playb ills mention
performances as an "interlude from" Rule a Wife and Have a W ife. Its
remaining eighteenth-century productions were prim arily benefits until
Thomas A. Cooper began to perform Leon, a role he would bring to many
places and repeat often. The following chart presents the play's
American production record through 1810.

Cooper starred in the play in 76 performances, with two additional
ones possible. Undoubtedly, many of the 58 unspecified performances
also featured Cooper, whose la te s t listed performance is in Boston,
September 19, 1838. A number of other actors starred in the play but
on very few occasions. James H. Caldwell is lis te d for seven; Thomas
S. Hamblin for six. There were two each for Mr. B arrett, W.A. Conway,
Charles Kean, George Vandenhoff and Mr. Williamson; one each for Thomas
Archer, Mr. Cone, Mr. Duff, William Forbes (possible), Mr. Lester, Mr. .
M ills , Mr. Moreton, Charles Dibdin P it t , Mr. Wallack (possible) and Mr.
Charles Whitlock. Cooper was clearly the primary star and he brought
the role to Mobile, possibly Washington, D.C., L o u is ville , New Orleans,
Baltimore, Boston, Natchez, Albany, New York, Cincinnati, Philadelphia,
Providence, Charleston and Richmond. The play was most popular in the
Eastern part of the country. Except for a few early performances, i t
was not popular.west of the Allegheny Mountains, and in many such
places i t was never produced. Its las t New Orleans performance was in
1836; i t continued to be performed in Philadelphia as late as 1858.
Some confusion exists about the t i t l e . John Tobin's farce The
Honeymoon (1805) was sometimes called How to Rule a Wife, a s u b -title

i t acquired la te r in its production history. Some of the sources used
might not have always distinguished between the plays; consequently,
the status of some citations could be questionable. Cast lis ts have
been used whenever possible to c la rify the matter for this study.
Rule a Wife and Have a Wife had a steady London popularity from
1776 to 1833, having a total of 150 performances, usually several each
year.^8 This steady popularity was also characteristic of its American
record, at least in some lo c a tio n s .^
The Chances
The Chances, the second Beaumont and Fletcher play introduced in
America, had a short American production record, as the following chart
indicates.

had been altered to contain nothing objectionable, the opera had no

popularity in America, having only three New York performances.
Tamer Tamed
The Tamer Tamed, about which l i t t l e is known, was a farce based on
Woman's Prize53 and was apparently never prin ted .5^ I t had three Lon
don performances, April 30, 1757, May 2, 1757 and April 30, 1760,55 and
three American performances, in Charleston on November 21, 1794 and on

Farm House and/or Female D uellist
Considerable confusion exists concerning these two t it le s .
57
According to Kuhl and Bergquist, they are two separate works, but
some regional theater histories l i s t both names for a work. Kuhl lis ts
cq
the Farm House as a version of Country Lasses, Nicoll lis ts i t as an
fiO
alteration of Charles Johnson's Country Lasses which is not further
SI
ascribed. Kuhl lis ts Country Lasses as a work w ritten by Charles
Johnson, adding that i t was based on Beaumont and Fletcher's Custom of
s?
the Country and Thomas Middleton's A Mad World, My Masters. Both
Kuhl and Bergquist l i s t the Female D u ellist as an alteratio n of Beau
mont and Fletcher's Love's Cure.
The American production record for both t it le s is short as the

Outwitted, an alteratio n of The Spanish Curate, had a unique production

I f the records are accurate, then the play has the unique distin c-
tion of opening in both London and America on the same day. Perhaps
the 1811 Boston performance is in error and should be for 1812, since
38
the play had several other performances in Boston that October. In any
case, the play's American production record is double its London re-
C Q
cord, and includes a number of c itie s .
L ittle Thief
Altered by Foot from Night Walker, 7^ L it t le Thief had only two
American productions, April 30 and May 4, 1824 in New York. There is
no mention of any London productions in R u lfs.7^
The Bridal or The Maid's Tragedy
James Sheridan Knowles' The B rid a l, an adaptation of The Maid's
72
Tragedy, opened in London June 26, 1837. That f a l l , on October 18,
1837, i t opened in New York as a b enefit, but did not begin to acquire
some popularity un til 1843 when Macready played in i t in New York.
Thereafter, i t developed a steady popularity, prim arily through the
Wallacks as the following production record through 1850 shows.

them featuring the Wallacks. Some productions were labeled simply The
Bridal; others were disiqnated The B ridal, or The Maid's Tragedy, some
The Maid's Tragedy, or The Bridal and some simply The Maid's Tragedy.
The la s t t i t l e causes some confusion because Matilda Heron starred in
her version of the play under the t i t l e The Maid's Tragedy. Her short
production record follows:
41
1857
September 26 New York
October 19 St. Louis
October 20 St. Louis
1858
January 4 Boston
Most lik e ly , the other productions which were labeled The Maid's
Tragedy were in fact productions of The B rid al, especially those fea
turing the Wallacks, but the advertisement used did not complete the
t i t l e . 73
The B rid al, having some popularity in the 1840's, had a few scat
tered performances in the 1850's (Sacramento, San Francisco, Chicago,
St. Louis, New York, C incinnati, Philadelphia, and Charleston, for ex
ample) and one as la te as September 6, 1860 in New York, making i t the
third most popular Beaumont and Fletcher play, a fte r Rule a Wife and
Have a Wife and The Elder Brother.7^
Aside from an isolated performance in Charleston on March 4, 1805,
73 See Louisville for November 10, 1857 and February 1, 1859 and
San Francisco for March 4, 1858.

most of the performances of The Elder Brother are associated with James
R. Anderson, who can be said to have introduced i t to America when he
acted in his own alteratio n of the play for his benefit on November 22,
1844, at the Park Theatre in New York. The extent of Anderson's in-
volvement with the play can be seen from the following chart which pre

Out of a total of 101 performances before the C ivil War, Anderson
is lis te d for 39, seventeen of which are benefits. Many of the 45 un
specified performances undoubtedly featured him as w ell. He was acting
in the play as la te as March, 1859 in San Francisco. James E. Murdoch
is lis ted for thirteen performances, the f i r s t (April 8-12), 1846 in
New York, the la te s t May 10, 1860 in Lo uisville. Anderson brought the
play to Mobile, San Francisco, Chicago, L o u is ville , New Orleans, Boston,
St. Louis, New York and Charleston and most lik e ly also including Cin
cinnati and Philadelphia. Murdoch brought the play to the same places
with the exception of Mobile, New Orleans, Boston and Charleston.
Four other actors had single performances credited to them. There
is one for George Vandenhoff in Boston in 1850 and possible ones for
J.B. Booth in New Orleans in 1849, for Crisp in New Orleans in 1857 and
for Henry Howard in D etroit in 1854.
The Elder Brother was the second most popular Beaumont and F le t
cher play on the American stage, a fte r Rule a Wife and Have a Wife and
before The B rid a l, due prim arily to Anderson, with some assistance from
Murdoch. The play's production record by c ity may be summarized as
follows: Mobile, 2; San Francisco, 6; Chicago, 8; Lo uisville, 5; New
Orleans, 11; Boston, 2; D e tro it, 1; St. Louis, 2; New York, 25 plus
others; Cincinnati, 13; Philadelphia, 22, and Charleston, 3.
Nearly four hundred performances of Beaumont and Fletcher in some
45
form were presented in America before the C ivil War. The versions were
introduced over an eighty-year period, the e a rlie r and la te r ones
achieving the most popularity. Although Beaumont and Fletcher did not
exceed Massinger in total performances (because of A New W ay to Pay Old
Debts), they did exceed him in number of plays produced; Beaumont and
Fletcher can be considered to have ten, Massinger six. Excluding A
New W ay- to Pay Old Debts, the two most popular of Massinger's plays,
Fatal Dowry with 33 performances and Riches with over 21, are fa r below
the most popular of Beaumont and Fletcher's, Rule a Wife and Have a
Wife with 184 performances, The Elder Brother with 101 or The Bridal
with over 60.

CHAPTER IV
MASSINGER
The immense appeal of P h ilip Massinger's A New Way to Pay Old
Debts made Massinger the most popular of Shakespeare's contemporaries
on the early American stage. His other plays were, however, not
especially popular in this country; versions of fiv e other plays re
ceived scattered performances, The Fatal Dowry, with 33, having the
most.
A New Way to Pay Old Debts was the f i r s t Massinger play presented
in America. I t may have been presented in Philadelphia on July 11 and
23, 1788 under the t i t l e The Credulous Steward. Its f i r s t known per
formance was May 11, 1795, also in Philadelphia. Despite the la te r
effo rts of George F. Cooke, the play did not become very popular until
the arrival of J.B. Booth in 1821. Booth performed S ir Giles far more
than any other actor on the American stage, playing the role nearly
wherever he appeared. The play's production record to the arrival of
Booth follows. Starred performances are cited in B all's study.

There are 699 performances of the play cited in the production
records assembled in this study, plus six dated 1859-1869 and four
dated 1859-1880. Ball cites 383 of the performances; 316 are not men-

Ball cites 134 of them. Undoubtedly, many of the 121 unspecified
49
performances also featured Booth. No other actor approached Booth's
record. Edwin Booth was next with 44; Charles Kean had 31, Charles
Eaton, 29, J.B. Roberts, 26 and J.R. Scott, 23. Performance totals for
the other actors are as follows: G.V. Brooke, 17; Edmund Kean and

Ball 's The Amazing Career of S ir Giles Overreach provides de
ta ile d information on about h a lf of the above performances and con
tinues the study into the twentieth century. The play continued to be
performed into the 1880‘s, as Ball d e ta ils . Other la te performances

not cited in Ball include Sacramento, September 18, 1871; Denver,
July 1, 1881 ; 76 Wilmington, Delaware, January 2, 187577 and Cleveland,
February 10, 1875.78
The play's London record was also extensive. Rulfs cites 180 per-
• ' 79
formances between 1781 and mid-1833, and Ball discusses many others

Female Patriot
Massinger's The Bondman had only one American performance. I t was
performed in Philadelphia on June 19, 1795 in an alteratio n by Mrs.
Rowson called The Female P atriot a t the benefit for her and her hus
band. Mrs. Rowson had played Froth in the May 11, 1795 Philadelphia
introduction for A New Way to Pay Old Debts, 87 but her alteratio n would
not share that play's la te r success. Of the three Massinger works in
troduced to America in 1795, only A New May to Pay Old Debts was even
tu a lly successful.
The Bondman had been performed seven times in London between Octo-
O O
ber 13 and December 30, 1779, but was not produced again.
Riches
Massinger's The City Madam was adapted by S ir James Bland Burges
under the t i t l e Riches and was f i r s t performed in London on February 3,
1810.8^ Shortly th ereafter, on May 16, 1810, i t was introduced to New
York for several performances, but did not become especially popular.
I t had only scattered performances over a forty-year period, but many
years had no performances as the assembled production record indicates.

Prior to mid-1833, Riches had 29 London performances, thirteen be-
tween February 10, 1810 and March 12, 1811. Edmund Kean, who per-
formed Riches three times in America in 1821, had given the play some
popularity in England. His benefit on May 25 , 1814, when he performed
Luke, brought him 1500, the largest sum ever realized by a theatrical

93
don of The City Madam as a benefit on April 29, 1783. There is no
record that The City Madam, other than as Riches, appeared on the early
American stage.
The Fatal Dowry
The Fatal Dowry was Massinger's second most popular play on the
early American stage. Its th irty -y e a r production record featured p ri
marily Thomas S. Hamblin, who brought the play to several c itie s .
William C. Macready starred in the play in fiv e performances in New
York in 1827 and George Jamieson starred in two benefits fo r himself
la te r, in 1843 and in 1848. The only other actor named in the records
was Mr. Parsons, in a September 10, 1832 performance in Nashville.
Ireland lis ts a performance for December 12, 1825 as a benefit for
Hamblin in New York,94 but Odell states that the performance, although
95
advertised, was cancelled because of an actor s illn e s s . The follow

Maid of Honor
The la s t Massinger play introduced to early America was Maid of
Honor. I t had three performances in Philadelphia in 1853, on February
14 and 15, and on April 29. An alte ra tio n of the play, by John P hilip
Kemble, was given in London on January 27, 29, and February 10,

Except for A New Way to Pay Old Debts, which had wide American
d istrib u tio n , Massinger's plays were performed prim arily in the c itie s
of the East. Only a very few performances in L o u is ville , New Orleans,
St. Louis and Nashville provide evidence fo r production west of the
Allegheny Mountains.

New York premiered thirteen (counting The Elder Brother); Phila
delphia, six; Charleston, three ( i f The Elder Brother is counted); San
Francisco and Baltimore, one each. Boston may have had one, i f records
are accurate. Plays of Beaumont and Fletcher and of Massinger were in
troduced almost throughout the period, but the e a rlie r and la te r ones
became the most popular. Yet these same playwrights also each had
plays introduced both early and late which had extremely short pro
duction records.
The usual pattern was for the American production to follow a Lon
don production, sometimes by several months, sometimes by several
years. American theaters did not cu ltiv ate the revival of Elizabethan
plays on th e ir own. For the most part, they picked up those which had
some popularity in London, prim arily as a resu lt of the in terest of a
traveling star who had made the play a part of his or her repertoire.
In many cases, the play was introduced to America as an actor's
benefit. The only performances of The Jovial Crew, The Jew of Maita
and The Female P atriot were benefits. The f i r s t performances of Wife's
Stratagem, The B rid a l, A New Way to Pay Old Debts, The Roman Actor and
The Duchess of M alfi were benefits. The f i r s t scheduled, but can
celled, performance of The Fatal Dowry was to have been a benefit. I f
the f i r s t lis te d performance of The Kiss is in error, then its f i r s t
performance was a benefit. The f i r s t Anderson performance of The
Elder Brother was a benefit. Most of the eighteenth-century perfor
mances of Comus and of Rule a Wife and Have a Wife were benefits, as
were most performances o f A New Way to Pay Old Debts up to 1810.
64
Other plays may also have been introduced as actor's benefits, but de
t a ils are lacking. I t seems cle a r, then, that many plays of Shake
speare's contemporaries were introduced to America through the d e lib e r
ate effo rts of actors and actresses. In many cases, i t was these same
actors and actresses who continued to make the plays accessible to
American audiences by keeping the plays in th e ir repertoires. Fre
quently, a single actor or actress is most closely associated with most
performances of a play and is therefore almost solely responsible fo r
the play's early American record.
The following chart recapitulates the American record by lis tin g
the six most popular plays, th e ir production to tals and the number of
years of performances covered in this study.
New Way to Pay Old Debts 699 66 years
Evadne 535 + 14? 42 years
Rule a Wife and Have a Wife 184 84 years
Elder Brother 101 16 years
Duchess of Malfi 99 4 years
Bridal 60+ 23 years
A fter The B rid al, the next closest is The Fatal Dowry with 33 perfor
mances in 30 years. Eighteen plays had under 30 performances, and only
three of them had over twenty; twelve plays had under ten American per
formances. The Duchess of M alfi holds the record of averaging the most
performances per year, between 24 and 25 performances per year over
four years. The next closest is Evadne, averaging between twelve and
65
thirteen per year over 42 years.
Material in R ulfs' dissertation, "Lesser Elizabethan Play
wrights," indicates that 22 other plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries
were performed in London between 1776 and mid-1833, but there is no
American record for the plays. Most had short, unsuccessful London re
cords. Information on the London records for the plays, in the order
of th e ir discussion from Rulfs, follows.
The nine Beaumont and Fletcher plays in this category are The
L ittle French Lawyer, two performances in 1778 (p. 129); Bonduca, 24
performances between 1778 and 1808 (pp. 429-32, 440); Phi Taster, two
performances in 1778 (pp. 147-48); The Knight of M alta, one performance
in 1783 (p. 151); The Scornful Lady as The Capricious Lady, eleven per
formances between 1783 and 1788 (p. 158); The Triumph of Honor, two
performances in 1783 (p. 169); A King and No King, one performance in
1788 (p. 182); The Humorous Lieutenant as The Greek Slave, or The
School for Cowards, one performance in 1791 (p. 184); The Humorous
Lieutenant (Reynolds), fiv e performances in 1817 (p. 198); and The
Beggars' Bush as The Merchant of Bruges, or The Beggars' Bush, eighteen
performances between 1815 and 1816 (p. 206).
Other Elizabethan plays produced in London between 1776 and mid-
1833, but not in America, included Dekker's Old Fortunatus, as Fortuna-
tus and His Sons, or The Magic Purse, and Wishing Cap, ten performances
in 1819 (p. 214); Heywood's The Fair Maid of the West as The Northern
Inn, or The Good Time of Queen Bess, one performance in 1791 (p. 217);
Massinger's The Duke of M ilan, three performances in 1779 (p. 256); his
66
The Picture as The Magic P icture, seven performances between 1783 and
1784 (p. 295); his The Bashful Lover as Disinterested Love, one perfor
mance in 1798 (p. 315); Middleton and Rowley's The Changeling as
M arcella, three performances in 1789 (p. 437); Mayne's The City Match
and Rowley's A Match at Midnight as Planchl's The Merchant's Wedding,
sixteen performances in 1828 (p. 368); S hirley's The Bird in a Cage,
one performance in 1786 (p. 370); and Shirley's The Gamester as The
Gamesters, seven performances between 1776 and 1806 (pp. 428-37, 440).

te r I I , page eleven of this study.
Most of the plays performed in London but not in America during
the period were introduced in London during or shortly a fte r the Revo
lutionary War. The time was not appropriate fo r transplanting B ritish
drama to America. The period from 1800-1810 saw a decline in in terest
in London in the drama of Shakespeare's contemporaries, and a corres
ponding drop in America in that none were introduced here during those
years. As the years went by, the American stage became less dependent
on the English stage, but i t continued to import some Elizabethan re
vivals through the 1850's.
The production history of Shakespeare's contemporaries in early
America is markedly d iffe re n t from th e ir production history in twenti
eth-century America. Volpone, The Alchemist, Epicoene and even
Bartholomew Fair have replaced Every Man in His Humour as representa
tives of Jonson on the modern American stage. Marlowe has become pop
u la r, especially with Dr. Faustus, but Edward I I has recently been
67
performed some also, as has Tamburlane. The many plays of Beaumont
and Fletcher produced in early America have a ll been dropped and are
replaced by The Knight of the Burning Pestle, never done in early Amer
ica. Other plays now seen with some frequency, but never done in early
America, include The Shoemaker's Holiday, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, The
White D ev il, The Changeling and The Revenger's Tragedy. Most of the
plays popular in early America have not had recorded modern American
performances, for example, A Jovial Crew, A W om an Never Vexed, Comus,
The Chances, Elder Brother, Evadne, Rule a Wife and Have a W ife, Roman
Actor, Fatal Dowry and Every Man in His Humour Pre-Civil War Amer-
l OR
ican dramatic taste differed considerably from current interests. 3

THE CHRONOLOGICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL RECORDS
Introduction
The production record which follows lis ts those performances of
plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries which scholarship has so fa r
assembled.
The l i s t is incomplete for several reasons. Many early perfor
mances were advertised only by p la y b ills , most of which have been lost.
Many fro n tie r newspapers were weeklies and therefore were of l i t t l e use
to theater advertisers except for one or two days a week. Many news
paper file s are incomplete, or were unavailable to some researchers.
Some productions, although advertised, were undoubtedly cancelled or
changed in the la s t minute with no record l e f t of such changes.
In addition, some regional studies do not give detailed production
lis t s , but speak generally of seasons or stars of note. Some studies
deal with only one theater in a specific location, leaving the other
theaters for future researchers. Some c itie s have detailed annals
available for only part of the period covered by this study. Boston's
is complete only up through 1816, leaving the remaining fo rty -fiv e
years to be covered by scattered, general and incomplete studies. A
few studies were unavailable for use because of school regulations or
because of lo st copies.
Nevertheless, the general pattern and extent of productions be
comes clear from what is here assembled. Additional data would change
only d e ta ils .
71
NOTE: Those productions of A New Way to Pay Old Debts which were
discussed in Robert Hamilton B all's The Amazing Career of S ir Giles
Overreach are marked with an asterisk ( * ) . Those mentioned but not
s p ec ific a lly dated by Ball are marked with a + sign. Star's names,
when available, are given under the play name. Benefits, when known,
are also noted. The dates given a fte r a town name are not necessarily
the dates of f i r s t play production. They may indicate the date from
which the records have been searched by the compiler of the study used.
A closing date is lis te d i f the sources stopped th e ir coverage prior
to June, 1861. Those towns which have NONE lis te d in the play slot
might have had relevant productions. The sources examined and lis te d ,
however, did not c ite any. Towns not lis te d eith er had no dramatic
history prior to 1861 or have had no studies done on them and known to
m e in m y American Regional Theatre History to 1900: A Bibliography
(1979). Dates in parentheses indicate single performances on some date
between the two specified. Available records do not make more precise
dating possible.
In the documentation, the number following the colon indicates the
page cited; the number before the colon is the number of the reference
used in the numbered bibliography which begins on page 218. Numbers
separated by semi-colons are citations to numbered items in the b ib lio
graphy; sometimes several sources were examined but no relevant ma
te ria l was found.
