The Chatham Theatre was opened by Mr. Barriere, on the 9th of May, 1825, with Mr. Burroughs as stage manager. The opening play of Pizarro introduced to the New York public Mr. James M. Scott, from the New Orleans Theatre, in the character of Rolla. This gentleman was born in Philadelphia, and as early as 1820 was a leading actor at Cincinnati. He was a fine serious performer, particularly in the heavier walks of tragedy; and also acquired a reputation in nautical characters unequaled on the American stage. He played in this city for several years, after which he was one of the managers of the Cincinnati Theatre, and also of the theatre at Vicksburg, Miss. He returned to New York in 1841, and was again connected, at different periods, with the New Chatham and Bowery Theatres. In his latter years, he became very stout and heavy in person, and, to distinguish him from John R. Scott, was frequently designated as "Big Scott." He died in this city, March 1st, 1849, aged somewhere over fifty years. Mr. Herbert, from the London and Philadelphia theatres, was brought out the next evening as Governor Heartall, and proved a valuable substitute for Mr. Kilner, in the line of comic old men. He had first appeared on the American stage at Philadelphia in 1817, and is said to have died at Boston in 1835. His son, Mr. John Herbert, made his first appearance in New York, on the 12th, as Malcolm, in Maid and Magpie. Born in London in 1803, he made his début at Harrisburg, as Timothy Quaint, in 1821. Retiring and unambitious in his deportment, there is a certain dry and quiet humor about him that renders him a valuable actor in a small comic part; and he has long been a favorite at the present National Theatre, where he has principally played for the last fourteen years. He married Miss Ellen Kent, daughter of the comedian and vocalist of the Park. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Conway, dancers, from the Surrey Theatre, who had made their American début at Boston, appeared here on the 11th, in a pas de deux, with considerable applause. The gentleman was afterwards ballet master at the Park Theatre, and for many years a teacher of dancing in this city. He has now entirely retired from the profession, and is the proprietor of a fancy hardware and house-furnishing establishment. Mr. Dinneford, formerly of the Circus company, made his first appearance here, on the 13th, as Doricourt, but his acting did not entitle him to the position he claimed to occupy. Mr. Burroughs appeared, for the first time, on the Chatham stage, May 17th, as Young Mirabel, in the Inconstant; and Caleb Quotem, in the Review. The same evening Mr. Kenny made his début there as John Lump; and Looney McTwolter was capitally acted by Mr. Anderson. The latter gentleman was gaining great favor with the public, and soon after appeared as Terry O'Rourke, Teague, Larry, in the Irish Valet, and other Irish characters, with great applause. The Young Hussar, a pleasing operetta by Dimond, was first played in New York on the 19th, with the following cast: On the 28th, Miss Olivia Fisher appeared with great approbation as Tom Thumb, her mother at the same time personating the interesting Princess Huncamunca. Mr. Frederick Brown was the first star of the season, and commenced an engagement on the 30th of May, as Hamlet. His popularity, though somewhat on the wane, was still sufficient to attract fair houses. On the occasion of his benefit, June 10th, he first presented his wife to the New York public, as Paul, in the Wandering Boys. Mrs. Fred Brown had been Miss Adelaide Decamp (a younger sister of Mrs. C. Kemble), and had also enjoyed great popularity as an actress of hoydens and chambermaids on the British stage. She had previously appeared at Boston-was still an actress of merit, though somewhat passé in appearance, and afterwards became a favorite as the representative of old women in the Southern and Western theatres. She died at Mobile, in 1841. Dibdin's serio-comic drama, the Ruffian Boy, was produced with great success, on the 6th of June, for the benefit of Mr. Burroughs, who was particularly happy as the hero. Mr. Jervis, from the Park, appeared here on this occasion to increase the attraction, but his character was afterwards transferred to Mr. Durang. The original cast stood thus: Mr. Burroughs soon after left this establishment to take charge of the new Lafayette Amphitheatre. Cherry Bounce was first played here on the 14th, thus cast: June 17th, Miss Aspinall, a pupil of Vestris, made her first appearance in New York in a grand pas seul. She was a graceful and pleasing dancer, and soon after became the wife of Mr. Moreland, by whose name she was long a favorite here. Mr. Henry Wallack made his first appearance this season, on the 20th, as Frederick, in the Poor Gentleman, and Walter, in the Children in the Wood. Mrs. H. Wallack appeared as Isabella, in the Wonder, the next evening. Mr. Howard, formerly the favorite vocalist of the Park, made his first appearance in six years, as Henry Bertram, considerably improved in acting and singing. |
