Many hands +were concerned in its growth, but its increase in scenic effect +as well as in dialogue was a stage one, rather than prompted by +literary fervour. No dramatization of Washington Irving's +immortal story has approached the original in art of expression +or in vividness of scene. But, if historical record can be believed, +it is the actor, rather than the dramatist, who has vied with +Irving in the vitality of characterization and in the romantic +ideality of figure and speech. Some of our best comedians found +attraction in the r�le, yet, though Charles Burke and James A. Herne +are recalled, by those who remember back so far, for the +very Dutch lifelikeness of the genial old drunkard, Joseph +Jefferson overtops all memories by his classic portrayal. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +As far as literary value of the versions is concerned, it would +be small loss if none of them were available. They form a +mechanical frame-work as devoid of beauty as the skeleton +scarecrow in Percy Mackaye's play, which was based on Hawthorne's +<span class="tei tei-q">“Feathertop”</span> in <span class="tei tei-q">“Mosses from an Old Manse.”</span> It +was only when the dry bones were clothed and breathed into by +the actor's personality that the dramatizations lived. One +can recall no plot that moves naturally in these versions; the +transformation of the story into dialogue was mechanical, done +by men to whom hack-work was the easiest thing in the world. +Comparing the Kerr play with the Burke revision of it, when the +text is strained for richness of phrase it might contain, only one +line results, and is worth remembering; it is Burke's original +contribution,—<span class="tei tei-q">“Are we so soon forgot when we are gone?”</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The frequency with which <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip Van Winkle”</span> was dramatized +would indicate that, very early in the nineteenth century, +managers of the theatre were assiduous hunters after material +which might be considered native.

There is no available record to show that he either +approved or disapproved of the early dramatizations. But there +is ample record to show that, with the beginning of its stage +career, nine years after publication, <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip”</span> caught fire on the +stage both in America and in London. Mr. James K. Hackett +is authority for the statement that among his father's papers is +a letter from Irving congratulating him upon having made so +much from such scant material. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The legendary character of Irving's sources, as traced in German +folk-lore, does not come within the scope of this introduction. +The first record of a play is Thomas Flynn's appearance as <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Rip</span></span> +in a dramatization made by an unnamed Albanian, at the South +Pearl Street Theatre, Albany, N. Y., May 26, 1828. It was +given for the benefit of the actor's wife, and was called <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip +Van Winkle; or, The Spirits of the Catskill Mountains.”</span> Notice +of it may be found in the files of the Albany <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Argus</span></span>. Winter, in +his Life of Joseph Jefferson, reproduces the prologue.

Parsons was playing <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip”</span> in Cincinnati, +Ohio, but no authorship is mentioned in connection with it, +so it must be inferred that it was probably one of those stock +products so characteristic of the early American theatre. Ludlow, +in his <span class="tei tei-q">“Dramatic Life,”</span> records <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip”</span> in Louisville, Kentucky, +November 21, 1831, and says that the Cincinnati performance +occurred three years before, making it, therefore, in +the dramatic season of 1828–29, this being Rip's <span class="tei tei-q">“first representation +West of the Alleghany Mountains, and, I believe, the first +time on any stage.”</span> Ludlow proceeds to state that, while in +New York, in the summer of 1828, an old stage friend of his +offered to sell him a manuscript version of <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip,”</span> which, on his +recommendation, he proceeded to purchase <span class="tei tei-q">“without reading +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page026">[pg 026]</span><a name="Pg026" id="Pg026" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +it.”</span> And then the manager indicates how a character part is +built to catch the interest of the audience, by the following bit +of anecdote: +</p> + +<div class="block tei tei-quote" style="margin-bottom: 1.80em; margin-left: 3.60em; margin-top: 1.80em; margin-right: 3.60em"><span style="font-size: 90%"> +It passed off there [in Cincinnati] without appearing to create +any interest more than a drama on any ordinary subject, with the +exception of one speech, which was not the author's, but introduced +without my previous knowledge by one of the actors in the piece. +This actor was a young gentleman of education, who was performing +on the stage under the name of Barry; but that was not his real +name, and he was acting the part of </span><span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-style: italic">Nicholas Vedder</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%"> in this drama. +In the scene where </span><span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-style: italic">Rip</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%"> returns to his native village after the twenty +years of sleep that he had passed through, and finds the objects +changed from what he remembered them,—among other things the +sign over the door of the tavern where he used to take his drinks,—he +enquires of </span><span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-style: italic">Vedder</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%">, whom he had recognized, and to whom he +had made himself known, who that sign was intended to represent, +saying at the same time that the head of King George III used to +hang there.

(probably John) Jefferson. Winter suggests that the +dramatization may have been Ludlow's, or it may have been the +first draft of Kerr's. Though it is generally conceded that the +latter play was the one used by James H. Hackett, in a letter +received by the Editor from Mr. James K. Hackett, it is suggested +that his father made his own version, a statement not proved, +but substantiated by Winter. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The piece was given by Hackett, at the Park Theatre, New +York, on August 22, 1830, and Sol Smith, in his <span class="tei tei-q">“Theatrical +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page027">[pg 027]</span><a name="Pg027" id="Pg027" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +Management in the West and South,”</span> declares, <span class="tei tei-q">“I should despair +of finding a man or woman in an audience of five hundred, who +could hear [his] utterance of five words in the second act, <span class="tei tei-q">‘But +she was mine vrow’</span> without experiencing some moisture in the +eyes.”</span> While the <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Galaxy</span></span>, in a later year, for February, 1868, +states: <span class="tei tei-q">“His <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Rip Van Winkle</span></span> is far nearer the ordinary conception +of the good-for-nothing Dutchman than Mr. Jefferson's, whose +performance is praised so much for its naturalness.”</span> The statement, +by Oliver Bell Bunce, is followed by this stricture against +Jefferson: <span class="tei tei-q">“Jefferson, indeed, is a good example of our modern +art.

C. +Wemyss. However much of an actor John Kerr was, he must +have gained some small reputation as a playwright. In 1818, +Duncombe issued Kerr's <span class="tei tei-q">“Ancient Legends or Simple and +Romantic Tales,”</span> and at the Harvard Library, where there is +a copy of this book, the catalogue gives Kerr's position in London +at the time as Prompter of the Regency Theatre. He must have +ventured, with a relative, into independent publishing, for there +was issued, in 1826, by J. & H. Kerr, the former's freely translated +melodramatic romance, <span class="tei tei-q">“The Monster and Magician; or, +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page028">[pg 028]</span><a name="Pg028" id="Pg028" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +The Fate of Frankenstein,”</span> taken from the French of J. T. +Merle and A. N. B�raud. He did constant translation, and it is +interesting to note the similarity between his <span class="tei tei-q">“The Wandering +Boys! or, The Castle of Olival,”</span> announced as an original +comedy, and M. M. Noah's play of the same name. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +There is valuable material in possession of Mr. James K. Hackett +for a much needed life of his father. This may throw light on his +negotiations with Kerr; it may also detail more thoroughly than +the records now show why it was that, when he went to England +in 1832, he engaged Bayle Bernard to make a new draft of the +piece, given in New York at the Park Theatre, September 4, +1833. It may have been because he saw, when he reached +London, a version which Bernard had shaped for the Adelphi +Theatre, 1831–32, when Yates, John Reeve, and J. B. Buckstone +had played together. But I am inclined to think that, whatever +the outlines of the piece as given by Hackett, it was his acting +which constituted the chief creative part of the performance. +Like Jefferson, he must have been largely responsible for the +finished product. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Hackett's success in dialect made him eager for any picturesque +material which would exploit this ability. Obviously, local +character was the best vehicle. That was his chief interest in +encouraging American plays. Bayle Bernard had done writing +for him before <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip.”</span> In 1831, J. K. Paulding's <span class="tei tei-q">“The Lion of the +West”</span> had proven so successful, as to warrant Bernard's transferring +the popular <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Col. Nimrod Wildfire</span></span> to another play, +<span class="tei tei-q">“The Kentuckian.”</span> Then, in 1837, Hackett corresponded with +Washington Irving about dramatizing the <span class="tei tei-q">“Knickerbocker +History,”</span> which plan was consummated by Bernard as <span class="tei tei-q">“Three +Dutch Governors,”</span> even though Irving was not confident of +results. Hackett went out of his way for such native material. +Soon after his appearance as <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Rip</span></span>, the following notice appeared +in the New York <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Evening Post</span></span>, for April 24, 1830: +</p> + +<div class="block tei tei-quote" style="margin-bottom: 1.80em; margin-left: 3.60em; margin-top: 1.80em; margin-right: 3.60em"><span style="font-size: 90%"> +Prize Comedy.—The Subscriber, desirous of affording some +pecuniary inducement for more frequent attempts at dramatizing +the manners and peculiarities of our own country, and the numerous +subjects and incidents connected with its history, hereby offers to +the writer of the best Comedy in 3 acts, in which a principal character +shall be an original of this country, the sum of Two Hundred +and Fifty Dollars—the decision to be made by a committee of competent +literary gentlemen, whose names shall duly be made public. +</span><span class="tei tei-pb" id="page029">[pg 029]</span><a name="Pg029" id="Pg029" class="tei tei-anchor"></a><span style="font-size: 90%"> +The manuscripts to be sent to the address of the subscriber through +the Post Office, before </span><span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-style: italic">1st September, next,</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%"> each accompanied with a +letter communicating the address to which the author would desire +his production returned, if unsuccessful, together with his </span><span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-style: italic">name</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%"> in +a </span><span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-style: italic">sealed enclosure</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%">, which will only be opened in the event of his +obtaining the Prize. +</span><div class="tei tei-lg" style="margin-bottom: 0.90em; margin-top: 0.90em"> +<div class="tei tei-l" style="text-align: left; margin-left: 12.60em"><span style="font-size: 90%">Jas.

I +don't care to play against him’</span>.”</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +A stage version of the Irving story was made by one John H. +Hewitt, of Baltimore, and during the season of 1833–34 was +played in that city by William Isherwood. It was after this +that Charles Burke (1822–1854) turned his attention to the play, +and, as is shown in the text here reproduced, drew heavily upon +Kerr. Winter says that he depended also upon the dramatic +pieces used by Flynn and Parsons. The date of the first essayal +of the part in New York was January 7, 1850, at the New National +Theatre. But, during the previous year, he went with the +play to the Philadelphia Arch Street Theatre, where his half-brother, +Joseph, appeared with him in the r�le of <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Seth</span></span>. Durang, +however, disagrees with this date, giving it under the heading +of the <span class="tei tei-q">“Summer Season of 1850 at the Arch Street Theatre,”</span> +and the specific time as August 19. In his short career Burke +won an enviable position as an actor. <span class="tei tei-q">“He had an eye and a +face,”</span> wrote Joe Jefferson, <span class="tei tei-q">“that told their meaning before he +spoke, a voice that seemed to come from the heart itself, penetrating—but +melodious.”</span> He was slender, emaciated, sensitive,—and +full of lively response to things. Like all of the Jeffersons, +he was a born comedian, and critics concede that W. E. Burton +feared his rivalry. Between Burke and his half-brother, there +was a profound attraction; they had <span class="tei tei-q">“barn stormed”</span> together, +and through Burke's consideration it was that Joe was first +encouraged and furthered in Philadelphia. Contrasting Burton +and Burke, Jefferson wrote in his <span class="tei tei-q">“Autobiography:”</span> +</p> + + +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page030">[pg 030]</span><a name="Pg030" id="Pg030" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> + +<div class="block tei tei-quote" style="margin-bottom: 1.80em; margin-left: 3.60em; margin-top: 1.80em; margin-right: 3.60em"><span style="font-size: 90%"> +Burton coloured highly, and laid on the effects with a liberal +brush, while Burke was subtle, incisive and refined. Burton's features +were strong and heavy, and his figure was portly and ungainly. +Burke was lithe and graceful. His face was plain, but wonderfully +expressive. The versatility of this rare actor was remarkable, his +pathos being quite as striking a feature as his comedy. … His +dramatic effects sprung more from intuition than from study; and, +as was said of Barton Booth, </span><span class="tei tei-q"><span style="font-size: 90%">“</span><span style="font-size: 90%">the blind might have seen him in his +voice, and the deaf have heard him in his visage.</span><span style="font-size: 90%">”</span></span> +</div> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +But the height of Jefferson's praise was reached when he said: +<span class="tei tei-q">“Charles Burke was to acting what Mendelssohn was to music. +He did not have to work for his effects, as I do; he was not +analytical, as I am. Whatever he did came to him naturally, +as grass grows or water runs; it was not talent that informed his +art, but genius.”</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Such was the comedian who next undertook the r�le of <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Rip</span></span>. +How often his own phrase, <span class="tei tei-q">“Are we so soon forgot,”</span> has been +applied to the actor and his art! The only preservative we have +of this art is either in individual expressions of opinion or else +in contemporary criticism. Fortunately, John Sleeper Clarke, +another estimable comedian of the Jefferson family, has left an +impression of how Burke read that one famous line of his. +He has said: +</p> + +<div class="block tei tei-quote" style="margin-bottom: 1.80em; margin-left: 3.60em; margin-top: 1.80em; margin-right: 3.60em"><span style="font-size: 90%"> +No other actor has ever disturbed the impression that the profound +pathos of Burke's voice, face, and gesture created; it fell +upon the senses like the culmination of all mortal despair, and the +actor's figure, as the low, sweet tones died away, symbolized more +the ruin of the representative of the race than the sufferings of an +individual: his awful loss and loneliness seemed to clothe him with +a supernatural dignity and grandeur which commanded the sympathy +and awe of his audience. +</span></div> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Never, said Clarke, who often played <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Seth</span></span> to Burke's <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Rip</span></span>, +was he disappointed in the poignant reading of that line—so +tender, pathetic and simple that even the actors of his company +were affected by it. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +However much these various attempts at dramatization may +have served their theatrical purpose, they have all been supplanted +in memory by the play as evolved by Jefferson and +Boucicault, who began work upon it in 1861. The incident told +by Jefferson of how he arrived by his decision to play <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Rip</span></span>, as +his father had done before him, is picturesque. One summer day, +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page031">[pg 031]</span><a name="Pg031" id="Pg031" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +in 1859, he lay in the loft of an old barn, reading the <span class="tei tei-q">“Life and +Letters of Washington Irving,”</span> and his eye fell upon this passage: +</p> + +<div class="block tei tei-quote" style="margin-bottom: 1.80em; margin-left: 3.60em; margin-top: 1.80em; margin-right: 3.60em"><span style="font-size: 90%"> +September 30, 1858. Mr. Irving came in town, to remain a few +days. In the evening went to Laura Keene's Theatre to see young +Jefferson as </span><span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-style: italic">Goldfinch</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%"> in Holcroft's comedy, </span><span class="tei tei-q"><span style="font-size: 90%">“</span><span style="font-size: 90%">The Road to Ruin.</span><span style="font-size: 90%">”</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%"> + Thought Jefferson, the father, one of the best actors he had ever +seen; and the son reminded him, in look, gesture, size, and </span><span class="tei tei-q"><span style="font-size: 90%">“</span><span style="font-size: 90%">make,</span><span style="font-size: 90%">”</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%"> + of the father. Had never seen the father in </span><span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-size: 90%; font-style: italic">Goldfinch</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%">, but was +delighted with the son. +</span></div> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +This incident undoubtedly whetted the interest of Joseph +Jefferson, and he set about preparing his version. He had +played in his half-brother's, and had probably seen Hackett in +Kerr's. All that was needed, therefore, was to evolve something +which would be more ideal, more ample in opportunity for the +exercise of his particular type of genius. So he turned to the +haven at all times of theatrical need, Dion Boucicault, and talked +over with him the ideas that were fulminating in his brain. Clark +Davis has pointed out that in the Jefferson <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip”</span> the credits +should thus be measured: +</p> + +<div class="tei tei-lg" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em; margin-top: 1.00em"> +<div class="tei tei-l" style="text-align: left">Act I.—Burke + Jefferson + Boucicault ending.</div> +<div class="tei tei-l" style="text-align: left">Act II.—Jefferson.</div> +<div class="tei tei-l" style="text-align: left">Act III.—Burke + Jefferson + ending suggested by Shakespeare's</div> +<div class="tei tei-l" style="text-align: left; margin-left: 4.00em"><span class="tei tei-q" style="text-align: left">“King Lear.”</span></div> +</div> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +But, however the credit is distributed, Jefferson alone made the +play as it lives in the memories of those who saw it. It grew by +what it fed on, by accretions of rich imagination. Often times, +Jefferson was scored for his glorification of the drunkard. He and +Boucicault were continually discussing how best to circumvent +the disagreeable aspects of <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Rip's</span></span> character. Even Winter +and J. Rankin Towse are inclined to frown at the reprobate, +especially by the side of Jefferson's interpretation of <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Bob Acres</span></span> +or of <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Caleb Plummer</span></span>.

Jefferson +threw up his hands in despair. It was totally opposed to his artistic +preconception. But I insisted, and he reluctantly conceded. Well, +I wrote the play as he plays it now. It was not much of a literary +production, and it was with some apology that it was handed to +him. He read it, and when he met me, I said: </span><span class="tei tei-q"><span style="font-size: 90%">‘</span><span style="font-size: 90%">It is a poor thing, +Joe</span><span style="font-size: 90%">’</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%">. </span><span class="tei tei-q"><span style="font-size: 90%">‘</span><span style="font-size: 90%">Well</span><span style="font-size: 90%">’</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%">, he replied, </span><span class="tei tei-q"><span style="font-size: 90%">‘</span><span style="font-size: 90%">it is good enough for me</span><span style="font-size: 90%">’</span></span><span style="font-size: 90%">.

Many are the +humourous records of the play as preserved in the Jefferson +<span class="tei tei-q">“Autobiography”</span> and in the three books on Jefferson by Winter +Frances Wilson and Euphemia Jefferson. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +On the evening of September 4, 1865, at the London Adelphi, +the play was given. Accounts of current impressions are extant +by Pascoe and Oxenford. It was not seen in New York until +September 3, 1866, when it began a run at the Olympic, and it did +not reach Boston until May 3, 1869. From the very first, it was +destined to be Jefferson's most popular r�le. His royalties, as +time progressed, were fabulous, or rather his profits, for actor, +manager, and author were all rolled into one. He deserted a large +repertory of parts as the years passed and his strength declined. +But to the very end he never deserted <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Rip</span></span>. At his death the +play passed to his son, Thomas.

The title-page of the Kerr acting edition runs as +follows: <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip Van Winkle; A Legend of Sleepy Hollow. A +Romantic Drama in Two Acts.

An opera on +the subject of <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip Van Winkle,”</span> the libretto written by Wainwright, +was presented at Niblo's Garden, New York, by the +Pyne and Harrison Troupe, Thursday, September 27, 1855. +There was given, during the season of 1919–20, by the Chicago +Opera Association, <span class="tei tei-q">“Rip Van Winkle: A Folk Opera,”</span> with +music by Reginald de Kovan and libretto by Percy Mackaye, +the score to be published by G.
