Baddeley ... Parsons ... John Kemble. Baddeley, and the original Moses in the "School for Scandal." Of birth and feeling. Length of service. House of misrule. Hero of La Mancha. Compare a similar analysis of Don Quixote's character on page 264. Dodd. Lovegrove. The gardens of Gray's Inn.
Some of these were stuck against the front of the boxes, and others were hoisted from the pit on long poles. The following specimens will suffice to show the spirit of them; wit they had none, or humour either, although when they were successively exhibited, they elicited roars of laughter: "John Kemble alone is the cause of this riot; When he lowers his prices, John Bull will be quiet."
Betterton, Garrick, Kemble, Kean, and Macready, dedicate their lives to this genius; him they crown, elucidate, obey, and express. The genius knows them not. The recitation begins; one golden word leaps out immortal from all this painted pedantry, and sweetly torments us with invitations to its own inaccessible homes.
This first day of winter, her fatal wedding-day, was a sad and strange one to Helen Kemble. The sun was hidden by dark clouds, yet no snow fell on the frozen ground. She had wakened in the morning with a start, oppressed by a disagreeable yet forgotten dream.
There is a portrait of Adelaide Kemble, with whom the Duke is said to have been in love in early manhood. The actress is in the pose of her histrionic profession, and in another part of the gallery is a bust of the Duke by H.R. Pinker .

Kemble and I agree as to the price, annexing the following conditions to our agreement: Mr. Kemble shall have his engagement as an actor for any rational time he pleases. Mr. Kemble shall be manager, with a clear salary of 500 guineas per annum, and per cent. on the clear profits. Mr. Sheridan engages to procure from Messrs. Hammersleys a loan to Mr.
At any rate, this course seemed the best I could hit upon in my distracted condition." "Well, Hobart, my poor young friend, you have been tried as by fire," said Mr. Kemble, in a voice broken by sympathy; "God help you and guide us all in this strange snarl! I feel that the first thing to be done is to get Helen home. Such tidings as yours should be broken to her in that refuge only."
The house was crowded to excess, and the utmost enthusiasm was exhibited in favour of the great tragedian; who, although not a townsman, was at any rate a county man, he having been born at Prescot. Mr. Kemble, when addressing the audience on that occasion, made a very remarkable declaration.
