Seasonal Digest

Adaptations of French drama dominated the Adelphi boards during the 1853-54 season under the management of Benjamin Webster.  At least five of the season's twenty-five productions derived from plays recently presented on the Paris stage.  And while critics occasionally denounced this reliance on foreign sources, the reviewer for the Athenæum proclaimed, "This theatre, by the production of such carefully written pieces, is gaining a higher position than belonged to it no long time ago, and is already entitled to rank as a legitimate dramatic house" (March 25, 1854).

Benjamin Webster's The Thirst for Gold; or, The Lost Ship and The Wild Flower of Mexico topped the list of successful adaptations.  Based upon La Prière des Naufrages by Adolphe d'Ennery and Ferdinand Dugué, the play was, according to the Times, "perfect [in its] fitness to the London Adelphi company" (December 16, 1853).  The complicated plot involved the passage to the New World of several Europeans seeking their fortunes in gold, providing numerous melodramatic incidents and characters for the Adelphi Company to enact.  The Times reported that "the division into five tableaux, the incidents drawn to the minutest detail, the circumstances of the play, the very arrangements of the scenes, are accurately imitated from the Ambigu-Comique, so that the north side of the Strand completely becomes, for the nonce, the Boulevard du Temple."  The Athenæum's reviewer, writing on December 12, found the production less than satisfying, however, noting that the "dialogue shows...marks of managerial hurry" and that the "translation...[is] bald in the extreme."  However, he commented wearily, "the Adelphi audience is proverbially indifferent" to such weaknesses and predicted that the show would be a success.  Indeed, Adelphi audiences agreed with the Theatrical Journal's reporter who wrote that The Thirst for Gold "surpasses every other attraction that has gone before it" (December 14, 1853) and supported its presentation for ninety-two nights.

Another Webster adaptation from the French that received considerable praise and approbation from audiences and critics was The Discarded Son, based upon Un Fils de Famille by Mayrad and Bienville.  However, the Times saw the play as "a sort of commonplace compound of Black-Eyed Susan and She Stoops to Conquer" which had "scarcely the character of a regular Adelphi piece," though he admitted it displayed "excellent situations, and happy management of the characters" (October 11, 1853).  The Theatrical Journal singled out actors Leigh Murray, Mary Ann Keeley, and Fanny Maskell for particular praise, calling the production "one of the most interesting [dramas] which has appeared for a long time" (October 26, 1853).  It ran for sixty nights.

John Morton and an anonymous author penned two less successful versions of French plays.  Morton's Whitebait at Greenwich received praise for the performance by comedian Robert Keeley but apparently lacked variety in plotting.  The Athenæum wrote that "Mr. Keeley...was triumphant" (November 19, 1854) and the Times declared, "the engagement of Mr. Keeley has given a high[er] tone to Adelphi farce than ever was known before" (November 15, 1854).  Nevertheless, the show ran for only twenty-seven performances.  Hopes and Fears, the anonymous adaptation of La Joie Fait Peur by Mme. Girardin, did not fare much better.  During its twenty-two-performance run, critics praised Webster's performance as the old servant Noel saying, "This is a finished and forcible piece of acting, happily conceived and elaborately executed" yet noted that Céline Céleste's performance was less than satisfactory:  "The Mother...is played by Mme. Céleste in a manner that might be expected from a clever melodramatic actress, who has rather to do with strong outward exhibitions of emotion than with minute psychological details" (Times, July 6, 1854).

Charles Selby's English version of Les Filles de Marbre entitled The Marble Heart; or, The Sculptor's Dream received elaborate praise and commentary from the highbrow critic of the Athenæum after it opened in May 1854.  Calling the play "a piece perilously elaborate in its development of sentiment and character, and ambitious in its aim as an Art-drama of the imaginative class," this commentator proclaimed it "a daring experiment" in which "the argument and treatment are both intellectual" (May 27, 1854).  He also noted "the elevation of the character of [the Adelphi's] performances" under Benjamin Webster's management.  The Times critic found some faults in Selby's adaptation from the French, but noted the strength of Leigh Murray's performance as the young sculptor who lost all in pursuit of the hard-hearted woman, played admirably by Céline Céleste (May 24, 1854).  Despite the fine performances and his perception of the play's moral and intellectual elevation, the skeptical Athenæum critic wondered whether "a piece in which dialogue so much preponderates will be ultimately popular with an Adelphi audience."  Indeed, his skepticism was well founded; The Marble Heart played only twenty times during The Season.

Despite the large percentage of adaptations from French successes, the Adelphi also scored moderate hits with some home-grown products.  Charles Selby's Hotel Charges exploited the contemporary issue of tavern extortion, which had received extensive coverage in the Times.  The Athenæum called the topic "worn-out" (October 22, 1853), but the Times critic declared the piece "one dramatic oration to our honour" (October 14, 1854).  Another original piece, a genuine "Adelphi drama" according to the Times, resulted from the collaboration of Tom Taylor and Charles Reade.  Two Loves and a Life opened on March 20 and ran for fifty nights.  The Times noted wryly that it had "the strange peculiarity that it is not taken from the French" and that its plot was "built on an interesting story, with many and various incidents, and with important personages enough to employ a large number of good actors" (March 21, 1854).  The Athenæum critic concurred in his appraisal of the play, saying, "the dialogue and interest aim at an intellectual elevation, and appeal rather to the understanding than to the feelings" (March 23, 1854).  This mid-decade production of Two Loves and a Life, starring favorite actors Benjamin Webster, Robert Keeley, Sarah Woolgar, and Céline Céleste, elicited the Athenæum's declaration that the Adelphi had arrived at the ranks of London's legitimate dramatic houses.

Illustration: Thirst for Gold; or, The Lost Ship and the Wild Flowers of Mexico  [1st Performance Dec 5, 1853]

Title: Thirst for Gold; or, The Lost Ship and the Wild Flowers of Mexico Description: Thirst for Gold; or, The Lost Ship and the Wild Flowers of Mexico by Ben Webster.  Tableau 2 was " The sea of ice."  Jules de Valois (Captain of The Eugenie) was played by Charles Selby. 1st Performance: Dec 5, 1853 Theatre: Adelphi Source: The Illustrated London News, Dec 17, 1853, p. 517 Review: The Illustrated London News, Dec 17, 1853, p. 517   "THE SEA OF ICE," AT THE ADELPHI. We this week present an illustration of the second tableau in the new piece produced at the Adelphi Theatre, under the title of "The Thirst for Gold."  The scene in question is the "Sea of Ice." on which the commander of the Eugenie is cast, with his family, and Putney Will.  We have already described the extraordinary machinery by which the icy surface of the stage is converted into a watery one while the hapless parents sink into the in-rushing sea, leaving their infant daughter on an ice-block, yet dissolved, and which floats her ultimately to a place of safety.  The situation is, in all respects, powerfully rendered; and, illustrated, as it is, by scenery and machinery so applicable, is irresistibly effective.  The acting of the piece throughout is capital.  Mr. Webster, as the villainous Pedro, afterwards the Marquis D'Arvez, displays his usual tact and talent in the portraiture of cool and quiet rascality, which has become, as it were, the pattern-type now-a-days of the stage criminal.  The accepted playwright of the present time eschews bombast verse, and affects a colloquial familiarity, which requires from the actor more intensity than vehemence.  We doubt whether the recipe is not growing of too easy application, and makes, on every fresh occasion, fewer demands on both performer and dramatist: the character is, in fact, fast becoming stereotype, though it has not yet quite outlived its attraction.  Madame Celeste's impersonation of the Mexican girl is decidedly picturesque and telling; while the development of the psychological elements requires more than ordinary intellectual acumen; and this Madame Celeste brings to the performance, and realises the difficult situations of the later scenes with equal truth and vigour.  Putney Will by Mr. Keeley is also a rare example of eccentric acting.  The idea of the character is somewhat outré.  A British sailor, who mistakes his trembling impulse to partake in every row and to resist oppression of every sort, for the sign and symptom of cowardice; and then wonders at the deeds of valour he has performed, while in such a state of excitement.  The assumption suits Mr. Keeley's style of acting perfectly.  The part, unfortunately, only appears at short intervals; but it is so well interpreted that it is never forgotten.  The drama, considered as a spectacle only, is eminently calculated for a long run.
